Chemistry Journal: November 25 Use a periodic table to help answer the questions below. • How does the electron configuration for bromine end? 2. How many energy levels are there in a bromine atom? • What name is given to the group that contains bromine?
Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table • When writing electron configurations using the periodic table, • the number in front of the s is the period number • the number in front of the p is the period number • the number in front of the d is one less than the period number • the number in front of the f is two less than the period number
Sample Problems Using the period table, write the electron configuration for these atoms: • phosphorus (P) (b) tin (Sn)
Noble Gas Electron Configurations • Sometimes we are only interested with electrons in the highest energy level. • In noble gasconfigurations, we start with the noblegas before the element and build from there. • Bromine (Br) [Ar] 4s2 3 d10 4p5
Sample Problems Write noble gas electron configurations for these atoms: • aluminum (Al) • barium (Ba)
Using Shorthand Configurations • Give the identity, the block, period, and group for the atom that has the following shorthand configuration [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p3 Identity: _________ Period:_________ Block: ___________ Group:_________
Wrapping It Up • Respond to the following… • What is most important thing you learned today? • What question you would still like answered? • What is one way what you have learned today connects with what you knew before?
