Valance electrons
electrons located in the outermost energy level of an atom furthest from the nucleus of the atom
How many valance electrons does Tin (Sn) have?
…
Why do atoms participate in bonding?
To become more stable
Cations
positive ions
Are cations bigger or smaller than its neutral atom?
smaller because it loses electrons
Anions
Negative ion
Are anions bigger or smaller than its neutral atom?
bigger because it gains electrons
Aufbau Principle
electrons enter orbitals of the lowest energy first
Hund’s Rule
single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal energy orbit before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbitals
Pauli Exclusion Principle
a maximum of 2 electrons cna occupy a single orbital (have to have opposite spins)
What’s the electron configuration for Neon?
…
What’s the orbital notation for Calcium (Ca)?
…
What’s the octect rule?
tendency of atoms to prefer to have 8 electrons in the valance shell
