E. Analysis
After the presentation the teacher will explain further the lesson through PowerPoint
Presentation.
 Electron Configuration - is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other
physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. Electronic configurations describe each
electron as moving independently in an orbital, in an average field created by all other
orbitals.
 Protons - A proton is one of three main particles that make up the atom. Protons are found
in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons
have a positive electrical charge 
 Neutron - Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they are neutral). Like
protons, neutrons are bound into the atom's nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force.
 Electron - Electrons are a type of subatomic particle with a negative charge.
 Energy level - Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the
nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Electrons are tiny, negatively charged
particles in an atom that move around the positive nucleus at the center. Energy levels are a
little like the steps of a staircase.

 Atomic orbitals -  is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior
of an electron in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any
electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus.
 Aufbau’s Principle – is also known as the “building-up” principle, states that electron’s
occupy orbitals in order of increasing energy.

Value:
S–2
P–6
D – 10
F – 14

Example:
Li – 3
Li-3: 1s22s1

Na – 11
Na-11: 1s22s22p63s1
  Pauli’s Exclusion Principle – When electron enter a sublevel with more than one orbital,
they will spread out to the available orbitals with the same spin before pairing.

1. Consider the electron configuration of Lithium : Li-3: 1s 22s1

2. Consider the electron configuration of Sodium: Na-11: 1s22s22p63s1
