Electrons Chemistry Dr. May
Atomic Inventory • Protons (Atomic Number) • Neutrons (Atomic Mass minus Protons) • Electrons (Same number as protons)
Atomic Particles nucleus 1 + 1 nucleus 1 0 1 cloud 0
Electron Function • Only the electrons of an atom are involved in chemical reactions • Only the electrons in the outermost orbital are involved in chemical reactions
Outermost Electrons • Atoms have between 1 and 8 electrons in the outermost orbital • These electrons are called valence electrons • Only valence electrons are involved in chemical reactions
Electron Configuration • Krypton • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 • Sodium • 1s22s22p63s1 • Chlorine • 1s22s22p63s23p5
Reading Electron Configurations • Krypton - 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 • The large numbers are the orbitals and in the known elements can go from 1 to 7
Reading Electron Configurations • Krypton - 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 • The letters s,p,and d represent the suborbitals • The fourth letter f is not used in Kr
Suborbitals • The suborbitals (s,p,d and f) are named after lines in the electromagnetic spectrum: s = sharp p = principle d = diffuse f = fundamental
Reading Electron Configurations • Krypton - 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 • The superscript or exponent (2p6)represents the number of electrons in each suborbital • Kr has 6 electrons in the 2p
Valence Electrons • Krypton - 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 has 8 valence electrons • Sodium - 1s22s22p63s1 has 1 valence electron • Chlorine - 1s22s22p63s23p5 has 7 valence electrons
Element 118 • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s24f145d106p67s25f146d107p6 • Element 118 (ununoctium) (Uuo) • Has 118 electrons • Has 8 valence electrons • Is an inert gas • Was discovered at Berkley in 1999
