understand the behavior of

Electron Configurations… …are the way electrons are arranged
in various orbitals around the nuclei of atoms. Three rules tell us how:
1) Aufbau principle - electrons enter the lowest energy first.
• This causes difficulties because of the overlap of orbitals of different energies – follow the diagram!
2) Pauli Exclusion Principle - at most 2 electrons per orbital - different spins
Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers.
Wolfgang Pauli
To show the different direction of spin, a pair in the same orbital is written as:
Quantum Numbers
Each electron in an atom has a unique set of 4 quantum numbers which describe it.
1) Principal quantum number2) Angular momentum quantum number3) Magnetic quantum number4) Spin quantum number
Electron Configurations
3) Hund’s Rule- When electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy, they don’t pair up until they have to.

Orbitals fill in an order Lowest energy to higher energy.Adding electrons can change the
energy of the orbital. Full orbitals are the absolute best situation.
However, half filled orbitals have a lower energy, and are next best• Makes them more stable.• Changes the filling order
Write the electron configurations for these elements:
Titanium - 22 electrons1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2
Vanadium - 23 electrons1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3
Chromium - 24 electrons1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4 (expected)
But this is not what happens!!
Chromium is actually:1s22s22p63s23p64s13d5
Why?This gives us two half filled
orbitals (the others are all still full)Half full is slightly lower in energy.The same principal applies to
copper.
Copper’s electron configuration
Copper has 29 electrons so we expect: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d9
But the actual configuration is: 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d10
This change gives one more filled orbital and one that is half filled.
Remember these exceptions: d4, d9

……are the way electrons are are the way electrons are arranged in various orbitals around arranged in various orbitals around the nuclei of atoms. the nuclei of atoms. Three rules Three rules tell us how:tell us how:
1)1) Aufbau principleAufbau principle - electrons enter - electrons enter the lowest energy first.the lowest energy first.
• This causes difficulties because of the This causes difficulties because of the overlap of orbitals of different overlap of orbitals of different energies – follow the diagram!energies – follow the diagram!
2)2) Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePauli Exclusion Principle - at most 2 - at most 2 electrons per orbital - different electrons per orbital - different spinsspins
Pauli Exclusion Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePrinciple
No two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers.
Wolfgang Pauli
To show the different direction of spin, a pair in the same orbital is written as:
Quantum NumbersQuantum Numbers
Each electron in an atom has a unique set of 4 quantum numbers which describe it.
1) Principal quantum number2) Angular momentum quantum number3) Magnetic quantum number4) Spin quantum number
