ELECTRON CONFIGURATION Other Examples:

Electron configurations describe where
electrons are located around the nucleus of an Chlorine – 17 electons - 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p5
atom. Magnesium – 12 electrons – 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
Gold – 79 – 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6
How do you write the electron 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d2
configuration of an Element? Fluorine – 9 – 1s2 2s2 3p4
Manganese – 25 – 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6

used to show the energy of electrons within the
Step 2. Carefully distribute the electrons to sublevels of an atom or atoms when used in

2s2 2p6 3s2 and so forth. (Found in your Periodic
Table) Remember that
> s-shell contains 1 box
Remember that: > p-shell contains 3 boxes
> s-shell holds 2 electrons, > d-shell contains 5 boxes
> p-shell holds 6 electrons, > f-shell contains 7 boxes
> d-shell holds 10 electrons,
> and f-shell holds 14 electrons. Two Known Types in Orbital Diagram
- Aufbau Principle
Parts of the Electron Configuration Sequence. - Hunds Rule
Note: The arrows represent the
1s2 electrons, it is the same with the electron
“1” at the front states what orbit the electrons are configuration where you have to look for the no.
“S” states what shell is being used of electrons of the element.
“2” states how many electrons are in the shell
 What is the difference of these two?
Aufbau Principle
- each boxes per shell must contain an up arrow
before adding the down arrow
Hunds Rule
- a box in the shell must be filled with up and down
arrow before moving to another box
Question: What element is being used as an
example?
Lets Check Your Understanding:
Make the electron configuration of the
following using both Aufbau Principle and Hunds
Rule.
Phosphorous
Electron of an Element. Using Fluorine as an
example.
Nitrogen
Helium
LEDS – Lewis Electron Dot System
(ang simula ng impyerno)
A Lewis Structure is a very simplified
representation of the valence shell electrons in a
molecule. So how does this monstrosity work?
But First, how to we identify the number
of valence electrons of an element?
Valence electrons are the electrons that is
found in the outermost layer of an atom. To
identify the number of Valence Electrons, look at
your Periodic table and look at the group
numbers of elements written in Roman
Numerals. The group number determines the
number of valence electron of an element.
I II III IV V VI VII VII
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Step 1. Identify the number of Valence
 Fluorine is found at Group VII, therefore
having 7 valence electrons Easy right? Time to go to the fun part.
To Be Continued...
Fluorine = 7 Valence Electrons

Step 2. Using the Element Symbol, draw

dots around the symbol, typically in a
counterclockwise rotation.
