Quiz 2 Unit 3 Flashcards
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
It is impossible to know where an electron is and how fast it is at any given time
Arrangement of Electrons
- Principle energy level or principle quantum number
- Sublevel
- Orbital
- Electrons spin
Principle Energy Level/Principle Quantum Number
Cooresponds to period/row on periodic table
Sublevels
- S
- S, P
- S, P, D
- S, P, D, F
Sublevel S
Spherical
One orbital
Sublevel P
Dumbell
Three orbitals each occupying a different axis
Sublevel D
Clover
Five orbitals
Sublevel F
Flower
Seven orbitals
Further Sublevels
G, H, I, K
Add two orbitals
Orbitals
Different orientation of shapes within a sublevel
Can only hold two electrons with opposite spins
Electrons Spin
Every orbital regardless of type can hold two electrons, each opposing each other
Writing Electron Configurations Rules
- Aufbau Principle
- Pauli Exclusion Principle
- Hund’s Rule
Aufbau Principle
Filling up
Electrons will occupy the lowest energy first
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Restriction on the placement of electrons in the same orbital
If two electrons occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spins
A maximum of two electrons can fill an orbit if they have opposite spins
Hund’s Rule
Electrons are distributed among orbitals of the same sublevel when there is more than one way to distribute them
Electrons will fill equal level orbitals until each one has one before doubling up
Writing Electron Configuration Types
- Orbital diagram, most information
- Electron configuration, standard notation/long form
- Noble gas notation, short form
Row/Period
Energy level
Coefficient on last sublevel
Block
Highest sublevel
Column in Block
Valence electron
Exponent on highest energy level
Exceptions
Column 11, 6 moves s to d to make stable
Can’t write row one with noble gas
D doesn’t count as valence electrons
D block is always an energy level lower
Noble Gas Notation
Last column are noble gases
Remove largest noble and replace with atomic symbol
Octet VS Duet
Eight valence electrons for stability, electrons move lower amount
Hydrogen, helium, lithium, berylium
Isoelectronic Series
Ions with same electron nconfiguration
Unpaired
Electrons in an orbital alone
