Quantum Number • Number that specifies the properties of the atomic orbitals • Tells us the distance from the nucleus and the shape of the orbital
Principal Quantum Number • Main level or shell • These are the Bohr energy levels n = 1, n = 2, n = 3 • As n increases, the distance from the nucleus increases
Sublevel • Each main level is divided into sublevels • Four types of sublevels s p d f
S orbitals • Spherical
P orbitals • Dumbell shaped • One dumbell in each axis
Orbital • Each sublevel is made of orbitals • Every orbital can hold 2 electrons
s – 1 orbital – 2 electrons • p – 3 orbitals – 6 electrons • d – 5 orbitals – 10 electrons • f – 7 orbitals – 14 electrons
Main Level Sublevel # orbitals # e in sublevel Total e
Electron Configuration • Arrangement of electrons in an atom • Aufbau Principle – electrons fill into an atom starting with the lowest energy levels
Electron Configuration Polka • F:\Documents\electron configuration.avi
Electron Spin • Way which the electrons rotate on their axis • Pauli Exclusion Principle – in order for two electrons to occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spin • Write configuration for C S
Higher Order • There are exceptions to the order of filling as you move to higher levels Br
Valence Electrons • Electrons in the last main energy level • These are the electrons involved in chemical reactions • There are a maximum of 8 valence electrons
How to find valence e- • Write configuration and count electrons in last main energy level • Examples: Find valence electrons for C Fe Cl
Draw Dot Structure C Fe Cl
Demitri Mendeleev • First to publish a chart of the elements • Arranged by increasing atomic mass with similar elements in columns
Moseley’s Table • He suggested that the elements are arranged by atomic number rather than atomic mass • Periodic Law – chemical and physical properties are periodic functions of their atomic numbers
Table Properties • Horizontal Rows are called Periods • Vertical Columns are called Groups or Families • For every group or family, the electron arrangement is the same
Configuration from the Table • Group tells end configuration, period tells tells the highest energy level • Ca in group 2 period 4 so it ends in 4s2
Blocks • Chart is broken into blocks based on the orbitals they fill last • Groups 1 and 2 fill s last – called s block • Groups 3 –12 called d block • Groups 13 – 18 called p block • Bottom two rows are the f block
Name the element with the following end configuration • 5s1 • 2s22p3 • 4s23d6 • 3s23p6 • 6s25d9
