What Is the Configuration of Electrons Within an Atom? (Type what you already know)
We can think of the electron orbitals as patterns of electron density surrounding an atom’s nucleus. The letters (in order) are ______________ and represent different types of orbitals.
s
f
p
d
Each orbital in an atom can hold up to two electrons. According to the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons can have exactly the same quantum number. In other words, no two electrons can be in the same place at the same time. Two electrons can occupy the same orbital, but each electron is assigned a “spin” so that it can be identified individually. In electron configuration notation, the first electron added to an orbital is denoted with the up arrow (↑), and the second has a down arrow (↓). The direction of the arrows reflects the spin of each electron. The spins of the two electrons in an orbital are always opposite one another. Some other basic rules apply to electron configuration notation. First, as the atomic number increases, the number of orbitals required for the electrons increases. Also, all the orbitals of one type (s, p, d, or f) within an energy level (1, 2, 3, etc.) must be completely filled before an electron can occupy the next highest orbital. Finally, Hund’s rule states that all the orbitals of the same energy will be filled with one electron before any of the orbitals take on a second electron. This rule means that electrons in nitrogen, for example, are placed in each of the three p orbitals before any two electrons can share an orbital.
