Main summary
Key takeaways
Main ideas and lessons
- Electron configuration (quantum mechanics model): Electrons in an atom occupy shells, and each shell contains subshells. Each subshell contains orbitals, and each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
- Notation breakdown (example: phosphorus, atomic number 15):
- The notation 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³ is interpreted as:
- The leading number (e.g., 3) = shell level
- The letter (s, p, d, f) = subshell type
- The superscript (e.g., 5 or 3 or 6) = number of electrons in that subshell
- The notation 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³ is interpreted as:
- Subshell capacities:
- s subshell: max 2 electrons
- p subshell: max 6 electrons
- d subshell: max 10 electrons
- f subshell: max 14 electrons
Rules for filling orbitals (detailed)
1) Aufbau rule (building-up principle)
- Electrons fill subshells in order of increasing energy:
- Start with the lowest-energy subshell, then proceed to higher-energy subshells.
- Energy-order sequence (as described):
- 1s → 2s → 2p → 3s → 3p → 4s → 3d → 4p → 5s → 4d → 5p → 6s → 4f → 5d → 6p → 7s → 5f → 6d → 7p
- Method implied for writing configurations:
- Write configurations from 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², … following the energy-order sequence until the total electron count is reached.
2) Hund’s rule
- In a given subshell (set of orbitals), electrons first occupy orbitals singly:
- Fill one electron per orbital with parallel spins first until the subshell is half-filled.
- After half-filled, electrons pair up in orbitals with opposite spin.
- p-subshell concept used:
- A p subshell has 3 orbitals (often labeled pₓ, pᵧ, p_z).
- Electrons distribute as:
- First: occupy each p orbital singly (parallel spin)
- Then: start pairing with opposite spin
3) Pauli exclusion principle
- No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
- Practical consequence:
- At most 2 electrons per orbital
- If an orbital has 2 electrons, they must have opposite spin directions
4) Full and half-full rule
- Subshells that are fully filled or half-filled are more stable.
- If Aufbau-based filling would not produce a full/half-full configuration, a rearrangement (electron transfer) can occur:
- Move electrons so that the relevant subshell becomes half-filled or fully filled.
Electron configuration examples worked/used
Worked rearrangement example: Chromium (Cr), atomic number 24
- Initial (Aufbau-style) configuration:
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁴
- Issue identified:
- 4s is fully filled (2 electrons), but 3d is not half-full or full
- Adjustment described:
- Move 1 electron: 4s¹ 3d⁵
- Final more stable configuration:
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹ 3d⁵
- (Described as half-full for 3d.)
Direct configurations for main-group atoms
- Carbon (C), atomic number 6
- 1s² 2s² 2p²
- Neon (Ne), atomic number 10
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
- Chlorine (Cl), atomic number 17
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
- Calcium (Ca), atomic number 20
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²
Full/half-full rule trigger example: Copper (Cu), atomic number 29
- Initial configuration stated:
- … 4s² 3d⁹
- Adjustment described:
- Move 1 electron from 4s to 3d
- Final stated configuration:
- … 4s¹ 3d¹⁰
- (More stable because the d subshell becomes full.)
Abbreviated electron configurations using noble gases (method)
- Main takeaway: the focus is often on the valence (outer-shell) electrons.
-
Noble gas shorthand method:
- Replace the inner-core configuration with the closest noble gas configuration in square brackets [ ], then write the remaining electrons.
-
Noble gas reference configurations listed:
- He: 1s²
- Ne: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
- Ar: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
- Kr: described as a noble-gas core with electrons up to Kr (per subtitles)
- Xe: described similarly in the subtitles (noble-gas core)
-
Examples:
- Magnesium (Mg), atomic number 12
- Full: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
- Abbreviated: [Ne] 3s²
- Titanium (Ti), atomic number 22
- Full: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d²
- Abbreviated: [Ar] 4s² 3d²
- Magnesium (Mg), atomic number 12
-
General rule stated:
- For non-noble-gas atoms, abbreviate using the noble gas with the closest lower atomic number (the nearest noble gas core).
