Paul Klee,
Greeting
, 1922. American.Slide2
SubshellsWe’ve talked about the different orbitals (subshells) that give us the probable location of electrons of various energy states. But how do we know which subshell any one electron will occupy? Should it go in an s, p, d, or f orbital? And which energy level?
Luckily there are 3 rules to guide our understanding of the position of ground state electrons in an atom.Slide3
The rules:
1. The Aufbau Principle: Electrons fill orbitals with the lowest energy first. “Aufbau” is German for “Building up.”Slide4
The rules:
To follow the Aufbau principle, you must know the order of orbital energy. The following chart will help you with this order:1st Energy level 1sThere is only an s orbital on the 1st energy level.Slide5
The rules:
To follow the Aufbau principle, you must know the order of orbital energy. The following chart will help you with this order:1st Energy level 1s2nd Energy level 2s 2pThere are only s and p orbitals on the 2nd energy level.Slide6
The rules:
To follow the Aufbau principle, you must know the order of orbital energy. The following chart will help you with this order:1st Energy level 1s2nd Energy level 2s 2p3rd Energy level 3s 3p 3dThere are only s, p, and d orbitals on the 3rd energy level.Slide7
The rules:
To follow the Aufbau principle, you must know the order of orbital energy. The following chart will help you with this order:1st Energy level 1s2nd Energy level 2s 2p3rd Energy level 3s 3p 3d4th Energy level 4s 4p 4d 4f
The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th energy levels contain all 4 types of orbitals
(although you will not ever use the 6f , 7d, or 7f orbitals.)5th Energy level 5s 5p 5d 5f
6th Energy level 6s 6p 6d 6f7
th Energy level 7s 7p 7d 7fSlide8
The rules:
Sadly, the order of increasing energy does not follow left to right, top to bottom on this chart. Instead you need to add some arrows to help with the order.1st Energy level 1s2nd Energy level 2s 2p3rd Energy level 3s 3p 3d4th Energy level 4s 4p 4d 4f
5th Energy level 5s 5p 5d 5f6
th Energy level 6s 6p 6d 6f7th Energy level 7s 7p 7
d 7f
Start hereSlide9
The rules
So following the chart, the order of the orbitals in increasing energy is:1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p.Slide10
2. The Pauli Exclusion Principle: Only two electrons can occupy each orbital, but each must have opposite spin.
The rulesWolfgang Pauli(Austria):Nobel prize in Physics, 1945Slide11
Spin refers to a magnetic field created by an electron. Two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spin meaning they have opposite magnetic field orientation. We’ll represent this using an up arrow for an electron with + spin and a down arrow for an electron with – spin.
= electron with positive spin = electron with negative spinThe rulesSlide12
3. Hund’s Rule: If two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, electrons will occupy them singly before filling them in pairs.
The rulesFriedrich Hund (German)Slide13
So for example, if you are placing 4 electrons into the 2p orbitals, they would fill in the following order due to Hund’s Rule:
