  1. Electron Configurations Electron Configurations

  2. Electron Configurations • The way electrons are arranged in atoms. • Aufbau principle- electrons enter the lowest energy first. • This causes difficulties because of the overlap of orbitals of different energies. • Pauli Exclusion Principle- at most 2 electrons per orbital - different spins

  4. Electron Configuration • Hund’s Rule- When electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy they don’t pair up until they have to. • Let’s determine the electron configuration for Phosphorus • Need to account for 15 electrons

  18. Noble gas notation uses noble gas symbols in brackets to shorten inner electron configurations of other elements.

  19. The Shorthand • Write symbol of the group 18 element before the element, in [ ]. • Then, the rest of the electrons. • Aluminum’s full configuration: 1s22s22p63s23p1 • previous noble gas Ne is: 1s22s22p6 • so, Al is: [Ne] 3s23p1

  20. The Shorthand Again Sn- 50 electrons The noble gas before it is Kr Takes care of 36 Next 5s2 Then 4d10 Finally 5p2 [ Kr ] 5s2 4d10 5p2

  21. Valence Electrons Valence electronsare defined as electrons in the atom’s outermost orbitals—those associated with the atom’s highest principal energy level. Electron-dot structureconsists of the element’s symbol representing the nucleus, surrounded by dots representing the element’s valence electrons.

  23. Exceptional Electron Configurations

  24. Orbitals fill in order • Lowest energy to higher energy. • Adding electrons can change the energy of the orbital. • Half filled orbitals have a lower energy. • Makes them more stable. • Changes the filling order

  25. Write these electron configurations • Titanium - 22 electrons • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2 • Vanadium - 23 electrons • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3 • Chromium - 24 electrons • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4 expected • But this is wrong!!

  26. Chromium is actually: • 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d5 • Why? • This gives us two half filled orbitals. • Slightly lower in energy. • The same principal applies to copper.

  27. Copper’s electron configuration • Copper has 29 electrons so we expect: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d9 • But the actual configuration is: • 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d10 • This gives one filled orbital and one half filled orbital. • Remember these exceptions: d4, d9
