Review:

What was our lesson yesterday?

An atom has 3 sub-atomic particles namely: protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons
are the positively charged particles, electrons are the negatively charged and neutrons
are the neutrally charged or no charge particles.

Inside the atom is the massive center called nucleus where protons and neutrons are
located. What is the charge of the nucleus then? Electrons on the other hand are located
outside the nucleus. These electrons circle the nucleus in an orbit-like structures called
energy level.

Activity
Let’s pretend we are moving students into campus housing. The housing is on the 1st,
2nd, 3rd and 4th street (the levels). There are houses on these streets. The houses are
2,3,4,5,6
called s, p, d and f houses. Each street has the following type of houses: 1 st=s; 2nd = s & p;
3rd=s,p,d; 4th= s,p,d, & f. The s house has 1 bedroom, the p house has 3 bedrooms, and d
house has 5 bedrooms, and the f house has 7 bedrooms. In each bedroom there is a
bunk bed, so two students can sleep in a bedroom.

Analysis
Answer the questions: 2,3,4,5,6
1. How many houses are there on the 4th street? 4 Name them. s,p,d,f
2. How many students can live on the 3rd street? 18
3. How many bedrooms are on the 2nd street? 4
4. How many students can live in a p house? 6
5. How many bedrooms are there in a p house? 3
6. How many bedrooms are present in an f house? 7
7. How many students can live in an f house? 14
8. How many students can live on the 1st street? 2
9. How many students can live on the 2nd street? 8
Abstraction Electrons exist around the nucleus of an atom in specific orbits. These orbits are
called energy levels and we number them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 and 7 with the 1st level being the 1,2,3,4,5,
orbit closest to the nucleus and is called the innermost energy level or shell and the last 6
energy level as the outermost shell/energy level. The levels can be broken down into
sublevels. We have s, p, d, and f sublevels. Level one has one sublevel – s. Level 2 has 2
sublevels - s and p. Level 3 has 3 sublevels - s, p, and d. Level 4 has 4 sublevels - s, p, d,
and f. The sublevels contain orbitals. Orbitals are spaces that have a high probability of
containing an electron. In other words, an orbital is an area where the electrons live.
There can be two electrons in one orbital (maximum). The s sublevel has just one orbital,
so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons
max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel
has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max. Look at the illustration, the orbitals are
represented by the boxes. You can put two electrons in each box. Some things to notice.
Level 1 does not have a p or d or f sublevel, only an s sublevel. So there is no such thing
as 1p or 1d or 1f.
To illustrate this further, we will use electron configuration. What is electron
configuration? Electron Configuration is a shorthand notation for showing how the
electrons are distributed in the various energy level/electron shells. We fill in electrons
according to lowest energy sublevels first. So we basically go in order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p.
Remember for neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
Examples:
1. Carbon atom has 6 electrons – 1s2 2s2 2p2 because 2+2+2=6
2. Silicon atom has 14 electrons – 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 because 2+2+6+2+2=14

Application
