ATOMIC STRUCTURE • electron configuration of atoms and ions of the first 36 elements (using s,p,d notation) • periodic trends in atomic radius, ionisation energy and electronegativity • comparison of atomic and ionic radii
Energy levels, sub-levels and orbitals Energy levels • Electrons occupy distinct energy levels (or shells) arranged around the nucleus. Energy sub levels • The different main energy levels have different sub-levels in them There are four types: s, p, d, f • The number of sublevels is determined by the energy shell. One in Level 1, 2 in Level 2 etc
Orbitals • Electrons occupy orbitals in pairs, with each member of the pair having opposite spin, which cancel. Number of orbitals • s sublevel has 1 orbital • p sublevel has 3 orbitals • d sublevel has 5 orbitals • f sublevel has 7 orbitals

In the normal ground state of an atom, the electrons occupy orbitals with the lowest possible energies. On heating, the electrons can be excited to orbitals with higher energy - the ‘excited state’. • As the electrons fall back to lower energy levels (orbitals) they will emit electromagnetic radiation, which is often in the region of visible light ie. it appears coloured. • Each element has its own characteristic emission spectrum that can be used to identify that element, its “chemical fingerprint”.
Atomic orbitals define regions of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron. Each orbital has a particular shape and associated energy values.
Rules For Filling Orbits • Each orbit can hold 2 electrons only an orbital containing two electrons is a filled orbit • Electrons filling the same orbit must have opposite spins indicated by arrows • Electrons fill the lowest energy sublevels first • The lowest or most stable arrangement of electrons in a sublevel is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins (Hunds Rule) • This means when orbitals of the same energy are available, electrons will avoid pairing if possible, by entering separate orbits

Atomic and Ionic Radii It is impossible to measure the atomic radius of an atom but we can measure the distances between adjacent nuclei in substances In metals we look at half the distance between adjacent nuclei In non metals we look at covalent bonds - that is half the distance between nuclei of like atoms covalently bonded together Half this distance between nuclei
Ionic radii Radii increase down group Radii decrease across period
