Mendeleev
• order elements by atomic mass
• saw a repeating pattern of properties
• Periodic Law – When the elements are arranged in
•
•
•
order of increasing atomic mass, certain sets of
properties recur periodically
put elements with similar properties in the same
column
used pattern to predict properties of undiscovered
elements
where atomic mass order did not fit other properties,
he re-ordered by other properties

Mendeleev's Predictions
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
3
What vs. Why
• Mendeleev’s Periodic Law allows us to predict
what the properties of an element will be based
on its position on the table
• it doesn’t explain why the pattern exists
• Quantum Mechanics is a theory that explains
why the periodic trends in the properties exist

Electron Spin
• experiments by Stern and Gerlach showed a beam
of silver atoms is split in two by a magnetic field
• the experiment reveals that the electrons spin on
their axis
• as they spin, they generate a magnetic field
spinning charged particles generate a magnetic field
• if there is an even number of electrons, about half
the atoms will have a net magnetic field pointing
“North” and the other half will have a net
magnetic field pointing “South”

Spin Quantum Number, ms
• spin quantum number describes how the
electron spins on its axis
clockwise or counterclockwise
spin up or spin down
• spins must cancel in an orbital
paired
• ms can have values of ±½
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
7
Pauli Exclusion Principle
• no two electrons in an atom may have the same set of
•
•
4 quantum numbers
therefore no orbital may have more than 2 electrons,
and they must have with opposite spins
knowing the number orbitals in a sublevel allows us to
determine the maximum number of electrons in the
sublevel
 s sublevel has 1 orbital, therefore it can hold 2 electrons
 p sublevel has 3 orbitals, therefore it can hold 6 electrons
 d sublevel has 5 orbitals, therefore it can hold 10 electrons
 f sublevel has 7 orbitals, therefore it can hold 14 electrons

Electron Configurations
• the ground state of the electron is the lowest
•
•
•
•
•
energy orbital it can occupy
the distribution of electrons into the various
orbitals in an atom in its ground state is called its
electron configuration
the number designates the principal energy level
the letter designates the sublevel and type of orbital
the superscript designates the number of electrons
in that sublevel
He = 1s2

Orbital Diagrams
• we often represent an orbital as a square and the
electrons in that orbital as arrows
 the direction of the arrow represents the spin of the
electron

12
Sublevel Splitting in
Multielectron Atoms
• the sublevels in each principal energy level of
Hydrogen all have the same energy – we call orbitals
with the same energy degenerate
 or other single electron systems
• for multielectron atoms, the energies of the sublevels
are split
 caused by electron-electron repulsion
• the lower the value of the l quantum number, the less
energy the sublevel has
 s (l = 0) < p (l = 1) < d (l = 2) < f (l = 3)
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
13
Penetrating and Shielding
• the radial distribution function shows that
•
•
•
the 2s orbital penetrates more deeply into
the 1s orbital than does the 2p
the weaker penetration of the 2p sublevel
means that electrons in the 2p sublevel
experience more repulsive force, they are
more shielded from the attractive force of
the nucleus
the deeper penetration of the 2s electrons
means electrons in the 2s sublevel
experience a greater attractive force to the
nucleus and are not shielded as
effectively
the result is that the electrons in the 2s
sublevel are lower in energy than the
electrons in the 2p

2. penetration of the 4th and higher energy

levels is so strong that their s sublevel is
lower in energy than the d sublevel of the
previous energy level
3. the energy difference between levels
becomes smaller for higher energy levels
Order of Subshell Filling
in Ground State Electron Configurations
start by drawing a diagram
putting each energy shell on
a row and listing the subshells,
(s, p, d, f), for that shell in
order of energy, (left-to-right)
next, draw arrows through
the diagonals, looping back
to the next diagonal
each time

Filling the Orbitals with Electrons
• energy shells fill from lowest energy to high
• subshells fill from lowest energy to high
s → p → d → f
 Aufbau Principle
• orbitals that are in the same subshell have the same
•
energy
no more than 2 electrons per orbital
 Pauli Exclusion Principle
• when filling orbitals that have the same energy, place
one electron in each before completing pairs
 Hund’s Rule

Example 8.1 – Write the Ground State
Electron Configuration and Orbital Diagram
and of Magnesium.
1. Determine the atomic number of the element
from the Periodic Table
 This gives the number of protons and electrons in
the atom
Mg Z = 12, so Mg has 12 protons and 12 electrons
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
19
Valence Electrons
• the electrons in all the subshells with the
highest principal energy shell are called the
valence electrons
• electrons in lower energy shells are called
core electrons
• chemists have observed that one of the most
important factors in the way an atom
behaves, both chemically and physically, is
the number of valence electrons
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

Electron Configuration of Atoms
in their Ground State
• Kr = 36 electrons
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6
 there are 28 core electrons and 8 valence electrons
• Rb = 37 electrons
•
•
1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1
[Kr]5s1
for the 5s1 electron in Rb the set of quantum numbers is
n = 5, l = 0, ml = 0, ms = +½
for an electron in the 2p sublevel, the set of quantum
numbers is n = 2, l = 1, ml = -1 or (0,+1), and ms = - ½
or (+½)

Practice – Use the Periodic Table to write the short
electron configuration and orbital diagram for each of the
following
• Na (at. no. 11)
• Te (at. no. 52)
• Tc (at. no. 43)
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
29
Properties & Electron Configuration
• elements in the same
column have similar
chemical and physical
properties because they
have the same number of
valence electrons in the
same kinds of orbitals
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
30
Electron Configuration &
Element Properties
• the number of valence electrons largely determines the behavior
of an element
 chemical and some physical
• since the number of valence electrons follows a Periodic pattern,
•
•
the properties of the elements should also be periodic
quantum mechanical calculations show that 8 valence electrons
should result in a very unreactive atom, an atom that is very
stable – and the noble gases, that have 8 valence electrons are all
very stable and unreactive
conversely, elements that have either one more or one less
electron should be very reactive – and the halogens are the most
reactive nonmetals and alkali metals the most reactive metals
 as a group
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
31
Electron Configuration &
Ion Charge
• we have seen that many metals and nonmetals
form one ion, and that the charge on that ion is
predictable based on its position on the Periodic
Table
Group 1A = +1, Group 2A = +2, Group 7A = -1,
Group 6A = -2, etc.
• these atoms form ions that will result in an
electron configuration that is the same as the
nearest noble gas

33
Electron Configuration of Anions
in their Ground State
• anions are formed when atoms gain enough
electrons to have 8 valence electrons
filling the s and p sublevels of the valence shell
• the sulfur atom has 6 valence electrons
S atom = 1s22s22p63s23p4
• in order to have 8 valence electrons, it must gain
2 more
S2- anion = 1s22s22p63s23p6
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
34
Electron Configuration of
Cations in their Ground State
• cations are formed when an atom loses all its
valence electrons
resulting in a new lower energy level valence shell
however the process is always endothermic
• the magnesium atom has 2 valence electrons
Mg atom
= 1s22s22p63s2
• when it forms a cation, it loses its valence electrons
Mg2+ cation = 1s22s22p6

35
Trend in Atomic Radius – Main Group
• Different methods for measuring the radius of an
atom, and they give slightly different trends
 van der Waals radius = nonbonding
 covalent radius = bonding radius
 atomic radius is an average radius of an atom based on
measuring large numbers of elements and compounds
• Atomic Radius Increases down group
 valence shell farther from nucleus
 effective nuclear charge fairly close
• Atomic Radius Decreases across period (left to right)
 adding electrons to same valence shell
 effective nuclear charge increases
 valence shell held closer
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
36
Effective Nuclear Charge
• in a multi-electron system, electrons are simultaneously
•
•
•
attracted to the nucleus and repelled by each other
outer electrons are shielded from full strength of nucleus
screening effect
effective nuclear charge is net positive charge that is
attracting a particular electron
Z is nuclear charge, S is electrons in lower energy levels
 electrons in same energy level contribute to screening, but
very little
 effective nuclear charge on sublevels trend, s > p > d > f
Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Zeffective = Z - S
37
Screening & Effective Nuclear Charge
38
Trends in Atomic Radius
Transition Metals
• increase in size down the Group
• atomic radii of transition metals roughly the
same size across the d block
must less difference than across main group
elements
valence shell ns2, not the d electrons
effective nuclear charge on the ns2 electrons
approximately the same

Magnetic Properties of
Transition Metal Atoms & Ions
• electron configurations that result in unpaired electrons
mean that the atom or ion will have a net magnetic field –
this is called paramagnetism
 will be attracted to a magnetic field
• electron configurations that result in all paired electrons
mean that the atom or ion will have no magnetic field –
this is called diamagnetism
 slightly repelled by a magnetic field
• both Zn atoms and Zn2+ ions are diamagnetic, showing
that the two 4s electrons are lost before the 3d
 Zn atoms [Ar]4s23d10

General Trends in 1st Ionization Energy
• larger the effective nuclear charge on the
electron, the more energy it takes to remove it
• the farther the most probable distance the
electron is from the nucleus, the less energy it
takes to remove it
• 1st IE decreases down the group
