GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1

Objectives:

∙ Describe the electronic structure of atoms in terms

of main energy levels, sublevels, and orbitals, and
relate this to energy;
∙ Write the electron configuration of atoms; and
∙ Use orbital diagrams to represent the electron
configuration of atoms.

What is Quantum
Numbers?
The set of numbers used to
describe the position and energy
of the electron in an atom

n, PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER

• Describe the energy

level of elelctron inside
an atom
• n=1,2,3, etc.
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

ℓ, ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER

• Describe the shape of

the sublevel within an
energy level
• S=0, p=1, d=2, f=3

ℓ, ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER

• ℓ≤n
• Example: 4f
n= 4
ℓ=3
• Example: 2d
n= 2
ℓ=2

mℓ, MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER

• Describes the
orbital within a
sublevel
• -ℓ ≤ mℓ ≤ ℓ

ms, SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER

• Refers to the
“spin” of an
electron in given
orbital
• -1/2 and +1/2

ELECTRON
CONFIGURATION
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1

Principles in electron configuration:

1. Aufbau Building-up Principle:
Electrons occupy orbitals in the
order of increasing energy
Principal energy levels are
assigned values from 1 to 7
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p
6s 4f 5d 6p 7s…..

GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1

Principles in electron configuration:

2. Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity
Electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy singly so that
all the orbitals contain one electron each before pairing
up.
3. Pauli Exclusion Principle:
Two electrons may occupy an atomic orbital only if they
have opposite spins
