26
Q

What is electron configuration?

A

The number of electrons that an atom or ion has, and how they are arranged.

27
Q

What are the ways of showing electron configurations?

A
  • Sub-shell notation
  • Arrows in boxes
  • Energy level diagrams
28
Q

How do you show electron configurations using sub-shell notation?

A

29
Q

How do you show electron configurations using arrows in boxes?

A
  • Each of the boxes represents one orbital.
  • Each arrow represents one electron.
  • The up and down arrows represents the electrons spinning in different directions.
  • Only two electrons can occupy one orbital.

Q

How do you show electron configurations using energy level diagrams?

A

31
Q

What doe energy level diagrams show?

A
  • The energy of the electrons in different orbitals.
  • The number of electrons
  • The arrangement of electrons.
32
Q

What rule applies to the electron configurations of ions?

A

You add or remove electrons for ions from the s and p blocks of the periodic table

33
Q

What rule applies while showing electron configurations using arrows in boxes?

A

The electrons fill orbitals in a sub-shell singly before they start sharing.

34
Q

What rules applies to all electron configurations?

A
  • The electrons fill up the lowest energy sub-shells first.

* The 4s sub-shell has a lower energy than the 3d sub-shell, so it fills up first.

35
Q

What are shortened electron configurations?

A

When noble gas symbols in square brackets are used to shorthand electron configurations.
