The Quantum Mechanical Model • The e- is found inside a blurry “electron cloud” • An area where there is a chance of finding an electron. • Only found with 90% accuracy in the area
Each element has its own e- configuration for its ground state • No charges • We base them on where the LAST e- is placed Where can we find electrons?
State – city – street – house # State is called the Principle Energy level City is called the sublevel Street is called the orbital House # is the e- spin direction It’s like an address…
We have 1-7 Highest occupied ground state energy level = PT period # Main energy levels Bohr found Principle Energy levels
Each energy level has increasing number of sublevels • Level 1 has 1 sublevel • Level 2 has 2 sublevels • Level 3 has 3 sublevels • And so on…. • Though 7 major levels…only 4 main sublevels are needed to describe existing atoms sublevels
Sublevels are distinguished by the shape of orbitals in them There are currently four of them s p d f Sublevel
In each sublevel there are specific orbitals • An Orbital is a 3-D region in space an e- can be found • Does not have “hard and fast” boundaries • See next slide • Each orbital can hold only 2 e- • Mathematically found through wave function Orbitals
1 orbital in this sublevel Sphere shape Total 2 e- possible Same shape in each level…just bigger Found in ALL energy levels S - sublevel
3 orbitals in this sublevel • Dumbbell shaped • Total 6 e- • Found in Energy Level 2 or Higher • Node between each half of each orbital • Intermediate area between high probability areas p - sublevel
5 orbitals in this sublevel Clover shape Total 10 possible e- Found in Energy Level 3 or higher. d - sublevel
7 orbitals in this sublevel Total 14 e- possible Complex shape Found in Energy Level 4 or higher f - sublevel
Energy - sublevel We will only commonly use s, p, d, and f!!

The way electrons are arranged in atoms. • Aufbau principle- electrons enter the lowest energy first. • Must fully fill before move to next • This causes difficulties because of the overlap of orbitals of different energies. Electron Configuration Rules
Pauli Exclusion Principle- no 2 e- can have same set of 4 quantum # • at most 2 electrons per orbital - different spins!! • Hund’s Rule- “up, up, up before down, down, down” • All orbitals need to be filled w/one “up” spin (positive--clockwise) before any in the sublevel is filled with a “down” spin (negative--counterclockwise) Rules continued
Drawing Orbital Notation 1s 2p • A box is used to represent each orbital. • Arrows are used to represent each electron. **remember opposite spins. Example: the orbital notation for carbon is: 2s
Lets try a few: • Orbital Notation for O • O = 8 e- • Orbital Notation for Cl • Cl = 17e- Orbital Notation 1s 2s 2p 1s 2p 2s 3s 3p

Use the total number of e- • Slowly place e- in order till run out of e- • Example • B 5e- • First 2 in 1s2…3 left over • Next 2 can go is 2s2 …1 left over • Last one goes in 2p, but since only 1 left it is 2p1 • Final configuration 1s2 2s2 2p1 When doing a configuration…

In order to save time and your hand when writing out electron configurations, one may use the Noble Gas Notation. • A noble gas symbol is used in place of a long list of electron configurations. • Example: Ar: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 = [Ar] • Noble Gas Shorthand Configuration for Ca • Ca: [Ar] 4s2 Noble Gas configurations
Sr • W • Hg • Cl Examples – Noble Gas configurations
Can do e- configurations for ions, but must make sure to note that that is what you are doing! • Same way, just use the number of e- in the ion involved Charged atoms
