(Using a set of stated
principles)
---levels---sublevels---orbitals
Ground StateGround Stateelectrons occupy lowest energy electrons occupy lowest energy
orbitals available to themorbitals available to themmost stable, lowest energy most stable, lowest energy
state of an atomstate of an atomThis is how e’s normally existThis is how e’s normally exist
Three Principles for Three Principles for Electron ConfigurationsElectron Configurations
1. 1. Aufbau PrincipleAufbau Principle – – electrons added 1 at a electrons added 1 at a time to time to lowestlowest energy energy orbital availableorbital available
2. 2. Pauli Exclusion Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePrinciple – – An orbital An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and they must electrons and they must have opposite spins.have opposite spins.
3.3. Hund’s RuleHund’s Rule – – Electrons will occupy Electrons will occupy equal-energy orbitals so equal-energy orbitals so that a maximum number that a maximum number of unpaired electrons of unpaired electrons resultsresults
