Presentation Transcript

  1. Electron Configuration

  2. Electron Configuration • The way electrons are arranged around the nucleus.

  3. Quantum Mechanical Model • 1920’s • Werner Heisenberg (Uncertainty Principle) • Louis de Broglie (electron has wave properties) • Erwin Schrodinger (mathematical equations using probability, quantum numbers)

  4. Principal Quantum Number, n • Indicates main energy levels n = 1, 2, 3, 4… • Each main energy level has sub-levels

  5. Energy Sublevels s p d f g

  6. The principle quantum number, n, determines the number of sublevels within the principle energy level.

  7. Orbital Quantum Number, ℓ(Angular Momentum Quantum Number) • Indicates shape of orbital sublevels • ℓ = n-1 ℓ sublevel 0 s 1 p 2 d 3 f 4 g

  8. Orbital • The space where there is a high probability that it is occupied by a pair of electrons. • Orbitals are solutions of Schrodinger’s equations.

  9. Orbitals in Sublevels Sublevel # Orbitals # electrons s 1 2 p 3 6 d 5 10 f 7 14 g 9 18

  10. Three rules are used to build the electron configuration: • Aufbau principle • Pauli Exclusion Principle • Hund’s Rule

  11. Aufbau Principle • Electrons occupy orbitals of lower energy first.

  13. -Pauli Exclusion Principle(Wolfgang Pauli, Austria, 1900-1958)-Electron Spin Quantum Number • An orbital can hold only two electrons and they must have opposite spin. • Electron Spin Quantum Number (ms): +1/2, -1/2

  14. Hund’s Rule In a set of orbitals, the electrons will fill the orbitals in a way that would give the maximum number of parallel spins (maximum number of unpaired electrons). Analogy: Students could fill each seat of a school bus, one person at a time, before doubling up.

  24. Notations of Electron Configurations • Standard • Shorthand

  25. Aufbau Diagram for Fluorine

  26. Standard Notation of Fluorine Number of electrons in the sub level 2,2,5 1s22s22p5 Main Energy Level Numbers 1, 2, 2 Sublevels

  27. Shorthand Notation • Use the last noble gas that is located in the periodic table right before the element. • Write the symbol of the noble gas in brackets. • Write the remaining configuration after the brackets. • Ex: Fluorine: [He] 2s2 2p5
