Frequency
Electron configuration of an atom =
distribution of electrons among orbitals
Explain how electrons move to higher and lower energy levels
an electron absorbs a certain quanta of energy → moves into a certain higher energy level
an electron loses certain quanta of energy and emits light → moves down energy levels
Principal energy level =
orbital where the electron is located (its sublevel)
Bohr model =
Quantum mechanic model/electron cloud model =
Electrons have orbits (clear, determined paths) dictated by quanta
Treats the election as a wave: Electrons have orbitals— where the electron is most likely to be based on its principal energy level— but can vary in shape by sublevels (s, p, d, etc)
Light emitted from an electron moving energy down energy levels is directly proportional to _______
the energy change of the electron
3 rules for elec configs.
Aufbau: Electrons occupy lowest levels first (Aufbau, like ‘A’ B C)
Pauli Exclusion:: Orbitals can hold at most 2 electrons, only if they spin in opposite directions (Pauli, like “pair”)
Hund’s: Single electrons fill up as many orbitals in a level as possible before doubling up
How to do elec configs? (not noble gas notation
ex) Find the electron configuration of KNO₃ (first compound of data page of L
Find your element on the table (K = Potassium)
Go through all the elements before your element and write down their orbital + amnt of elecs in that orbital, aka, how many elements in that group
a: 1s²+2s²+2p^6+3s²+3p^6+4s^1
How to do noble gas notation?
ex) Find the electron configuration of KNO₃ (first compound of data page of L
Find your element on the table (K = Potassium)
Go up one row and all the way to column 18 to find your noble gas and box it [Ar]
After your noble gas, continue the configuration until you reach your element
continue config by adding each orbital for each element (K, after Ar, is s1) (you can know what sublevel is each element based on where it is on the periodic table)
a: [Ar] 4s1
