Target Objectives
• Explain the significance of quantum numbers.
• Write the electron configuration of elements.
• Explain the basis of the arrangement of
elements in the priodic table.
• Draw the lewis dot sumbol of elements.
Quantum Theory
• Enables to predict and understand the critical role that electrons
play in chemistry.
à How many electrons are present in a particular atom?
à What energies do individual electron possess?
à Where in the atom can electrons be found?
Quantum Theory
• Erwin Schrodinger (1926 )
- Developed a mathematical
equation that describe this
behavior of electrons.

a. Zn (Zinc) Z= 30
b. Ar (Argon) Z= 18
c. Al (Aluminum) Z= 13
Electron Distribution
• Important in understanding chemical reactions.
• Two types:
1. Electron configuration
2. Orbital Diagram
• The electron configurations of all elements except hydrogen
and helium are represented by a noble gas core
• noble gas core shows in brackets the noble gas element that
most nearly precedes the element being considered, followed
by the symbol for the highest filled subshells in the outermost
shells.
Orbital Diagram
• Consist of boxes and arrows that represent the orbitals
and the electrons.

3. The Hund’s Rule
“The most stable arrangement of electrons in
subshells is the one with the greatest number of
parallel spins.”

Valence electron= 1
Lewis Dot Symbol
Valence Electrons
• Electrons in the outermost shell of the
orbital or highest occupied energy level of
an atom.
• Electrons that participate in chemical
reactions.

Lewis Dot Symbol
• Rules in Writing the Lewis Structure
Rule #1. When filling the sides of the element
symbol each side gets one dot before
doubling up. Exceptions are hydrogen and
helium.

valence electrons = 6
Lewis Dot Symbol
• Rules in Writing the Lewis Structure
Rule #2. No side can have more than two dots
because each orbital can only hold two
electrons.
