Electron Configurations

• Electron Configurations – the way electrons are arranged (placed) around the nucleusnucleus.

• Guiding Principle: electrons are arranged in a way that gives the lowest lowest energy to the atom. (low energy = high stability)

Rules for Electron Configurations

• Aufbau Principle – lowest lowest energy levels fill first.• Pauli Exclusion Principle – no two electrons in an atom

can be at the samesame place at the samesame time. All atomic orbitals can only hold 2 electrons maximum & they have to be spinning opposite directions.

• Hund’s Rule – Don’t pair until you have to.Don’t pair until you have to. When electrons can go into orbitals of equal energy (ex.3 types of p orbitals) one electron enters each orbital until each has one electron. They all spin the same direction until they pair up.

• Each orbital corresponds to a specific sectionsection on the periodic table.

Using the “d” orbitals

• The transition metals use the “d” orbitals to denote their electron configurations.

• “d” orbitals have a higherhigher energy level than “s” orbitals with a larger number. Therefore, the “s” orbital will fill before the “d” orbital.

• There are exceptionsexceptions to the rule within the transition elements.

Using the “Core” to shorten things up:

• Instead of writing the entire electron configuration, you can use the “core”“core” of the last noble gas.

• Example: Phosphorous

Regular - 1s1s222s2s222p2p663s3s223p3p33

Core - [Ne] 3s3s223p3p33
