Electronic Configuration of

Atoms with Many Electrons

7-1
Quantum Numbers for Electrons
Name Symbol Permitted Values Property

principal n positive integers (1, 2, 3, …) orbital energy (size)

angular l integers from 0 to n – 1 orbital shape (The l values


momentum 0, 1, 2, and 3 correspond to
s, p, d, and f orbitals,
respectively.)
magnetic ml integers from –l to 0 to +l orbital orientation

spin ms +½ or –½ direction of e– spin

 Each electron in any atom is described completely by a set of four


quantum numbers.
 The first three quantum numbers describe the orbital, while the fourth quantum number
describes electron spin.

7-2
Pauli Exclusion Principle

 Pauli Exclusion Principle states that each orbital may contain a


maximum of two electrons, and they must have opposite spins.

 In other words, no two electrons in an atom can have all four


quantum numbers the same.

7-3
Aufbau (or Building Up) Principle
 The Aufbau Principle states that electrons are always placed in the
lowest energy level first, and then placed in higher levels in order.

Hund’s Multiplicity Rule
 Hund’s Multiplicity Rule states that when orbitals of equal energy are
available, the orbitals are all filled up with electrons of parallel (same)
spins first.

 Half-filled and fulfilled d-orbitals tend to be more stable than


partially filled ones

Categories of Electrons

 Inner (core) electrons are those an atom has in common with the
previous noble gas and any completed transition series.

 Outer electrons are those in the highest energy level (highest n value).

 Valence electrons are those involved in forming compounds.


 For main group elements, the valence electrons are the outer electrons.
 For transition elements, the valence electrons include the outer electrons and any (n -1)d
electrons.

Electron Configuration and Group
 Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same outer
electron configuration, and thus they exhibit similar chemical behavior.

(a) Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) (b) Lead (Pb; Z = 82)

Trends in three atomic properties.

• For electron affinity, the dashed


arrows indicate that there are
numerous exceptions to expected
trends
• Metals, found in the left and lower
three-quarters of the periodic
table, are typically shiny solids,
have moderate to high melting
points, are good conductors of
• heat and electricity,
• Nonmetals. have relatively low
melting points, are poor
conductors, are mostly crumbly
solids or gases,
