Electron Configuration
This document provides information about electron configuration. It begins by defining electron configuration as the arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals, which is described using quantum numbers. It then discusses the three main rules for writing electron configurations: 1) Aufbau principle, which states that electrons fill the lowest available energy levels first, 2) Pauli exclusion principle, which limits each orbital to two electrons of opposite spin, and 3) Hund's rule, which states that degenerate orbitals will fill with one electron each before pairing. The document provides examples of writing full and condensed electron configurations and drawing orbital diagrams for various elements. It includes an activity for students to practice these skills.

ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OFAN ATOM - the arrangement of electrons in the orbital of an atom. - described by a. a number that designates the number of principal shell b. a letter that designates the subshell (orbital) c. a subscript that designates the number of electrons in that particular subshell (orbital) Example: 2p4 indicates 4 electrons in the p subshell of the 2nd shell. 3d8 indicates 8 electrons in the d subshell of the 3rd shell.
- 7. RULES FOR ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS In order to write an electron configuration, we need to know the RULES. 3 rules govern electron configurations. Aufbau Principle Pauli Exclusion Principle Hund’s Rule Using the orbital filling diagram at the right will help you figure out HOW to write them Start with the 1s orbital. Fill each orbital completely and then go to the next one, until all of the elements have been acounted for.
- 8. a. AUFBAU (BUILDING-UP)PRINCIPLE “Electrons in an atom occupy first the lowest possible energy levels and/or orbitals.” Order: 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p
- 9. NO MORE THAN2 ELECTRONS IN ANY ORBITAL…EVER. The next rule is the Pauli Exclusion Principle. “No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers, i.e., the maximum number of electron in an orbital is limited to two.” The spins have to be paired. We usually represent this with an up arrow and a down arrow. Since there is only 1 s orbital per energy level, only 2 electrons fill that orbital. Wolfgang Pauli, yet another German Nobel Prize winner Quantum numbers describe an electrons position, and no 2 electrons can have the exact same quantum numbers. Because of that, electrons must have opposite spins from each other in order to “share” the same orbital.
- 10. b. PAULI’S EXCLUSIONPRINCIPLE *For 1s orbital:Max electron = 2 one electron: n=1, l=0, ml=0,ms=+½ one electron: n=1, l=0, ml=0,ms=-½
- 11. HUND’S RULE HundsRule states that when you get to degenerate orbitals, you fill them all half way first, and then you start pairing up the electrons. What are degenerate orbitals? Degenerate means they have the same energy. So, the 3 p orbitals on each level are degenerate, because they all have the same energy. Similarly, the d and f orbitals are degenerate too. Don’t pair up the 2p electrons until all 3 orbitals are half full.
- 12. EXCEPTION TO THERULE • There are two main exceptions to electron configuration: chromium and copper. • In these cases, a completely full or half full d sub-level is more stable than a partially filled d sub-level, so an electron from the 4s orbital is excited and rises to a 3d orbital.
