I. Objectives:
1. Content Standard:
Understand the development of atomic models that led to the description of the
behavior of electrons within atoms.
2. Performance standard:
3. Learning Competencies/Objectives:
Describe how the Bohr model of the atom improved Rutherford’s atomic model.
Explain how the Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom describes the energies
and positions of the electrons.
3.3 Abstraction
The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called electron
configuration. It is important for us to work out electron arrangement to be able
to understand more and predict the properties of elements.
Orbitals have specific energy values. They have particular shapes and direction
in space. The s orbitals are spherical, and p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped.
In an atom, electrons and the nucleus interact to make the most stable
arrangement possible.
Filling the orbitals with electron starts from the lowest energy level to the highest
energy level. (1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p…)
The total number of electrons on the outermost energy level is the same as the
group number in the periodic table of elements.
An orbital has a maximum number of two electrons.

Sodium
