Lesson 3 - Electronic configuration
Definition • Shorthand notation for the amount of electrons in an orbital. It all tells the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals
How is it distributed? • Distribution of all electrons in an atom consist of: 1. number denoting the energy level 2. Letter denoting the type of orbital • Superscript denoting the number of electrons in those orbitals.
Electron Configuration 1s1 group # # valence e- possibilities are: s: 1 or 2 p: 1-6 d: 1-10 f: 1-14 Total e- should equal Atomic # row # Energy level # possibilities are 1-7 7 rows Subshell/ orbital possibilities are s, p, d, or f 4 subshells What element has an electron configuration of 1s1?
Practice: atomic # = 3 1s2 2s1 • Lithium: what is the electron configuration? • Boron: what is the electron configuration? 1s2 2s2 2p1 atomic # = 5 • What is the electron configuration for the following? • Sodium Sodium(11) • Chlorine Chlorine (17) • Argon Argon (18) • Calcium Calcium (20) 1s2 2s22p63s1 1s2 2s22p63s23p5 1s2 2s22p63s23p6 1s2 2s22p63s23p64s2

Rules that govern distribution. • Pauli Exclusion Principle • 2. Aufbau Principle • 3. Hund’s Rule
Pauli Exclusion Principle • No two electrons in the same atom can have exactly the same energy. • For example, no two electrons in the same atom can have identical sets of quantum numbers. • No two electrons can have the same spin
Aufbau Principle • Build the electronic structure starting at the lowest energy level • s < p < d < f
Hund’s Rule Spread electrons as much as possible before pairing When doing orbital diagrams
Orbital Diagrams • Each box/ circle represents one orbital. • • Half-arrows represent the electrons. • • The direction of the arrow represents the spin of the electron.

Learning check • Draw orbital diagram for magnesium and iron
Special Electronic Configurations • A half filled subshell and a full filled subshell lower the energy, gaining some stability. special electronic configurations. • Cr [Ar]4s1 3d5 All s and d subshells are half full • Cu [Ar]4s1 3d10 Prefers a filled d subshell, leaving s with 1
Confidence building questions Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of B. Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of Cl. Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of F. Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of Ca. Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of Kr. Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of O2-. Notice that this is an anion! Write out the shorthand notation for the electron configuration of Na+. Notice that this is a cation! Why are Groups 1 and 2 referred to as the s-block of the periodic table? Why are Groups 3 through 12 referred to as the d-block of the periodic table? Using what you now know about electron configurations explain the notion that elements in the same column in the periodic table have similar chemical and physical properties.
