Unit 2 - V. Electron Configuration & Quantum Emission

Don't use shuffle mode.

E^-1 configuration is orbital diagram but quicker, leaving out:

• electron spin

• specific orbitals in sublevel

paired vs. unpaired

orbital diagram

electron configuration

noble gas shorthand

• helps us see valence electron quicker

Energy level relative to

distance from nucleus

As n increases, ____ but ____.

distance from nucleus increases, but energy gap gets smaller

Since electrons are packets of energy,

even light can donate energy to an electron

If an electron gets enough energy from an outside source so that it has enough energy to exist in a different orbital,

it will teleport there! (excited state)

This gained energy is lost quickly, so

the electron will fall back down to its ground state

• EM radiation is given off

Electromagnetic radiation

packet of energy called a photon

• color is influenced depending on energy of photon
