• Why don’t the electrons fall into the nucleus?
• Move like planets around the sun.
• In circular orbits at different levels.
• Amounts of energy separate one level from another.

• Energy is quantized. It comes in chunks.
• A quanta is the amount of energy needed to move from one energy level to another.
• Since the energy of an atom is never “in between” there must be a quantum leap in energy.
• Schrodinger derived an equation that described the energy & position of e- in an atom

Atomic Orbitals
• Principal Quantum Number (n) = the energy level of the electron.
• Within each energy level the complex math describes several shapes (functions).
• These are called atomic orbitals.
• Regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

• From fourth on not all the orbitals will fill up.
• You simply run out of electrons
• The orbitals do not fill up in a neat order.
• The energy levels start to overlap
• Lowest energy fill first.

• How e- are arranged.
• Aufbau principle- electrons enter the lowest energy first. *“electrons are lazy”+
• Difficulties occur because of the overlap of orbitals of different energies.
• Pauli Exclusion Principle- at most 2 electrons per orbital – having different “spins”

Electron Configuration• Hund’s Rule- When electrons occupy orbitals
of equal energy they don’t pair up until they have to.
[ “don’t want roomate unless it costs more” – more energy in this case]
• Let’s determine the electron configuration for Phosphorus
• Need to account for 15 electrons

Exceptions to Electron Configuration
( know that there are exceptions, based upon special circumstances, but don’t memorize or don’t focus on predictions)

Orbitals fill in order • Lowest energy to higher energy.
• But the adding of electrons can change the energy of the orbital.
• Half filled orbitals have a lower energy.
• Makes them more stable.
• Changes the filling order if movement of electrons will allow for half or full fill

Write these electron configurations
• Titanium - 22 electrons
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2
• Vanadium - 23 electrons 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d3
• Chromium - 24 electrons
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d4 is expected
• But this is wrong!!

Chromium is actually
• 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d5
• Why?
• This gives us two half filled orbitals (4s and 3d).
• The overall configuration has slightly lower 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 gives one filled orbital and one half filled orbital (4s is half, 3d is full); makes for less total energy needs.
