Basic Principle: electrons occupy lowest energy levels available
2 ways to write electron configurations 1) spdf Notation spdf NOTATION for H, atomic number = 1 1 no. of electrons s 1 sublevel value of energy level Orbital Box Notation ORBITAL BOX NOTATION for He, atomic number = 2 Arrows show electron spin 2 1s 1s
The Octet RuleAtoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons until they are surrounded by eight valence electrons.
Valence ElectronsValence electrons are found in the incomplete outermost shell of an atom.
