Electron Arrangement/Configuration • modern chemistry changed some of Bohr’s ideas • each energy level is divided into sublevels which are called orbitals orbitals are s, p, d, & f and all have various shapes Orbital the region of high probability of finding an electron
each orbital can hold only two electrons • s orbitals are spherical in shape compare the 1s orbital to the 2s orbital • p orbitals are dumbbell shaped specifically, there are 3 p orbitals differentiated by the labels px, py, & pz For example, 3s2, 3 = energy level s = type of orbital 2 = number of electrons (in that orbital)
Sublevel s is lowest in energy followed by p, then d, then f • s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons f sublevel can hold a maximum of 14 electrons
Some energy levels do not have all the sublevels • 1st energy level – s orbital only 1s • 2nd energy level – s & p orbitals 2s & 2p • 3rd energy level – s, p, & d orbitals 3s, 3p, &3d • 4th energy level – s, p, d, & f orbitals 4s, 4p, 4d, & 4f
The process of organizing electrons in atoms from the orbital with the lowest energy to the orbital with the highest energy is called electron configuration/arrangement. • Electrons are not organized or “build up” in order of energy level and sublevels i.e. 4s come first then 3d
Use the following diagram to help remember the order in which orbitals fill: 7s 7p 6s 6p 6d 5s 5p 5d 5f 4s 4p 4d 4f 3s 3p 3d 2s 2p 1s
Examples: Write the electron configurations for the following: (always determine the total number of electrons involved then use the helpful tool to write out each orbital in order of building up) H O K
Make Note: • The periodic table is divided according to the filling order of sublevels • Can relate a specific sublevel to a part of a row in the periodic table • Creates trends in how elements react
