Electrons Configuration in Atoms Where are the electrons located?
Essential Question • Where are the electrons located in an atom?
Energy Levels http://odin.physastro.mnsu.edu/~eskridge/astr101/kauf5_20.JPG
Atomic Orbitals Max capacity of any orbital = 2 electrons http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/orbitals.gif
Atomic Orbitals Max capacity of any orbital = 2 electrons http://www.geo.arizona.edu/xtal/geos306/d-orbitals.gif

Energy Levels & Electrons Max capacity of any orbital = 2 electrons
AUFBAU principle • Electrons are LAZY • Stated scientifically: • Electrons will occupy the lowest energy level available www.smugmug.com
Orbital Filling Sequence http://www.cms.k12.nc.us/allschools/providence/keenan/chem/images/orbital_energy_diagram.gif
Pauli Exclusion Principle • The two electrons in an orbital must spin in opposite directions http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/graphics/top/top-anim.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/graphics/top/&h=150&w=200&sz=18&hl=en&start=4&tbnid=9xlnkLuLMxIbEM:&tbnh=78&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Danimation%2Btop%2Bspinning%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D
Weird! http://www.2atoms.com/images/weird/illusions/055b.gif
Hund’s Rule • Electrons won’t pair up unless they have to • Once there is one electron in every orbital…the pairing will begin! http://www.tangischools.org/schools/hhs/Hammond%20High%202001-2002/Superbowl_files/Kids%20in%20bus.JPG
Putting It All Together • The … • aufbau principle, • Pauli exclusion principle, • And Hund’s rule • Can be used to describe the structure of the electron cloud and the possible locations of the electrons in the cloud!
Orbital Filling Sequence How do we do it? How do we know where all of the electrons go? 1st level or 7th level? s, p, d, or f sublevel? Help!!! Electron orbitals Animated electron configurations http://www.cms.k12.nc.us/allschools/providence/keenan/chem/images/orbital_energy_diagram.gif
Orbital Diagrams 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p
What’s the Point? • Orbital diagrams are just an easy way to figure out where the electrons are positioned in an atom • Helps us understand the structure of atoms • Which will help us understand the properties of atoms
Electron Configurations • Do the same thing as orbital diagrams, except without all the little boxes! 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 This is the max configuration we’ll learn…so when you get this…you’ve got it!
Electron dot structures • Even easier…because all you show are the highest energy level electrons • Also known as valence electrons • Just remember maximum format:
