Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms Electrons in atoms are arranged as SHELLS (n) SUBSHELLS () ORBITALS (m) Each orbital can be assigned up to 2 electrons! WHY ? . . . Because there is a 4th quantum number, the electron spin quantum number, ms. Chemical Periodicity
Electron Spin Quantum Number, ms • It can be proved experimentally that the electron has a spin. This is QUANTIZED. • The two allowed spin directions are defined by the magnetic spin quantum number, ms • ms = +1/2 and -1/2 ONLY. Chemical Periodicity
Electron Spin Quantum Number MAGNETISM is a macroscopic result of quantized electron spin 5_magnet.mov Diamagnetic: NOT attracted to a magnetic field All electrons are paired N2 Paramagnetic: attracted to a magnetic field. Substance has unpaired electrons O2 Chemical Periodicity
Pauli Exclusion Principle • electrons with the same spin keep as far apart as possible • electrons of opposite spin may occupy the same “region of space” (= orbital) • Consequences: • No orbital can have more than 2 electrons • No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of 4 quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) OR • “Each electron has a unique address.” Chemical Periodicity

Assigning Electrons to Atoms • Electrons are assigned to orbitals successively in order of the energy. • For H atoms, E = - R(1/n2). E depends only on n. • For many-electron atoms, orbital energy depends on both n and . • E(ns) < E(np) < E(nd) ... Chemical Periodicity
(n + )= 5 (n + )= 4 Assigning Electrons to Subshells • In H atom all subshells of same n have same energy. • In many-electron atom: a) subshells increase in energy as value of (n + ) increases. b) for subshells of same (n +), subshell with lower n is lower in energy. 5_manyelE.mov Chemical Periodicity
2s e- spends more time close to Li3+ nucleus than the 2p e- Therefore 2s is lower in E than 3s Charge felt by 2s e- of Li atom Effective Nuclear Charge • The difference in SUBSHELL energy e.g. 2s and 2p subshells is due to effective nuclear charge, Z*. Chemical Periodicity
Effective Nuclear Charge, Z* • Z* is the nuclear charge experienced by an electron. • Z* increases across a period owing to incomplete shielding by inner electrons. • For VALENCE electrons we estimate Z* as: Z* = [ Z - (no. of inner electrons)] • Charge felt by 2s e- in Li Z* = 3 - 2 = 1 • Be Z* = 4 - 2 = 2 • B Z* = 5 - 2 = 3 • and so on!

Writing Atomic Electron Configurations Two ways of writing configurations. One is called the spectroscopic notation: Chemical Periodicity
Writing Atomic Electron Configurations (2) A second way is called the orbital box notation. One electron has n = 1, = 0,ml = 0,ms = + 1/2 Other electron has n = 1, = 0, ml = 0,ms = - 1/2 Chemical Periodicity

Metals (ns2) - easily oxidized to M2+ - less reactive than alkalis of same period reactivity: Be < Mg < Ca < Sr < Ba WHY? - Alkaline Earths • Size INCREASES as group • VALENCE e- are farther from nucleus • same Z* - Valence e- less tightly held • Therefore valence e- are easier to remove Typical reactions / compounds Oxides: M +1/2O2 (g) MO (s) CaO (lime) - #5 Ind.

General Periodic Trends • Atomic and ionic radii : SIZE • Ionization energy : E(A+) - E(A) • Electron affinity : E(A-) - E(A) Chemical Periodicity
Atomic Size INCREASESdown a Group • Size goes UP on going down a GROUP • Because electrons are added further from the nucleus, there is less attraction. Chemical Periodicity
Atomic Size DECREASES across a period Size goes DOWN on going across a PERIOD. Size decreases due to increase in Z*. Each added electron feels a greater and greater +ve charge. Chemical Periodicity
