• Where are electrons found around the
nucleus?
• 4 different shaped orbitals (x-ray diffraction
and electron microscopy)
– s, p, d, f
• Higher energy levels have more shapes
• Each orbital can hold 2 e– Locate the e- 90% of the time
• Orbital is also called Subshells

Orbital Energy Levels
• Shape of orbital
designated by the
letters
s, p, d, f
Excited states
Ground state
Shapes of Orbitals
• Shape of orbital designated by the letters
s, p, d, f
• Orbitals have
different shapes
s Orbital shape
The s orbital has a
spherical shape
centered around
the origin of the
three axes in space.
p orbital shape
There are three dumbbell-shaped p orbitals
in each energy level above n = 1, each
assigned to its own axis (x, y and z) in space.
d orbital shapes
Things get a bit more
complicated with the five
d orbitals that are found
in the d sublevels
beginning with n = 3. To
remember the shapes,
think of “double dumbells”
…and a “dumbell
with a donut”!

Sets of Orbitals (Subshells)
• Depending on the type of orbital, we find that they
occur in sets differing in their orientation in space
• s - set of 1
• p - set of 3
• d - set of 5
• f - set of 7
• Label P.T.
Sizes of orbitals
• Size depends on the value of n
• Orbitals with the same n are about the same
size
Check for understanding
• What is the principal quantum number for Ar?
• What are the subshells?
• How many sets of electrons are found in each
subshell?

• Combinations of first two quantum numbers;
number of orbital types equals the shell
number (n).

Check for understanding (P6)
• What is the principal quantum number for Ar?
• What are the subshells?
• How many sets of electrons are found in each
subshell?
Aufbau Principle
• Aufbau Principle: start with the nucleus and
empty orbitals, then “build” up the electron
configuration using orbitals of increasing energy
Electron Configurations
• Electron Spin and Pauli Exclusion
Principle:
– Only two electrons can occupy a
single orbital and they must have
opposite spins
Electron Configurations
• Hund's Rule:
–When filling a subshell, such as the set
of 3 p orbitals, place 1 electron in each
before pairing up electrons in a single
orbital
Electron Configurations
• Arrangement of electrons in the orbitals is
called the electron configuration of the atom
• The ground state configuration can be
predicted, using the Aufbau Principle, the
Pauli Exclusion Principle, and Hund’s Rule.

How do we know what the filling order is?
• What chemistry tool might we rely on?
Electron Configurations and the
Periodic Table
• Valence electron configurations repeat
down a group
Ground state electron configurations
• Example: Li
– atomic number = 3
– nucleus has 3 protons
– neutral atom has 3 electrons
• 2 electrons in 1s orbital, 1 electron in 2s orbital

Noble Gases
• Far right of the periodic table
• These elements are extremely unreactive or
inert
• They rarely form compounds with other
elements
Noble Gas electron configurations
• What is the electron configurations for Neon
• Abbreviated way to write configurations
– Start with full outer shell then add on
• Br
• Ba
Noble Gases
• Neon- emits brilliant light when stimulated by
electricity – neon signs- 4th most abundant element in
the universe.
• Helium- light non reactive gas- used balloonsinexpensive, plentiful and harmless
• Radon- radioactive gas- can cause cancer- colorless,
odorless emitted from for certain rocks underground
Why are we doing all of this?
• Properties of atoms correlate with the
number and energy of electrons
• Electron configurations are used to
summarize the distribution of electrons
among the various orbitals
