  1. Electronic Configuration

  2. Energy Levels • Energy levels are called principal energy levels and are given numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 • These principal energy levels contain sub-levels which are assigned the letters s, p, d and f

  6. Electron Orbitals • Electrons are constantly moving, however, orbitals are regions where is it highly likely an electron might be found • The energy sub-levels are made up of orbitals, each of which can hold a maximum of 2 e-.

  7. Electron Orbitals • The orbitals in different sub-levels have different shapes

  8. Each orbital can hold 2 e-. The p sub-shell contains 6 e-

  9. Each type of sub-level can hold a different number of electrons

  11. Drawing Electron Configurations • Electrons are drawn as single headed arrows. • The direction of the arrows represent the spin of the electron

  12. Hund’s Rule • Electrons occupy orbitals as unpaired e-. The e- are only paired when there are no more empty orbitals available in that sub-level. This is Hunds Rule • Paired electrons will have opposite spin as this reduces the mutual repulsion between the paired e-.

  18. Electronic Structure of Ions • Positive Ions – formed by the loss of e- Na Atom Na+ion • 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 1s2 2s2 2p6 • Negative Ions – formed by the gain of e- O Atom O2- ion • 1s2 2s2 2p4 1s2 2s2 2p6

  19. Structure of Transition Metal Ions • With the transition metals it is the 4s electrons are lost first when they form ions • Ti 1s2 2s2 2p63s2 3p6 3d24s2 • Ti2+ 1s2 2s2 2p63s2 3p6 3d2 • Cr 1s2 2s2 2p63s2 3p6 3d54s1 • Cr3+ 1s2 2s2 2p63s2 3p6 3d3
