OBJECTIVES
 To draw an orbital diagram
to represent the electronic
configuration of atoms.
To tell if a substance is
Paramagnetic or Diamagnetic
What is ELECTRONIC
CONFIGURATION?
 It shows the
distribution of
electrons of an
atom or a
molecule.
Alkali metals and
Alkaline-Earth metals
have one and two valence
electron.
S-block
VALENCE ELECTRON –
electrons in the outer shell
CHEMIC Number
AL NAME of electron

SHELL – the
number of the
principal SUBSHELL –
quantum shell, the letter that
n designates the
orbital type, l.
3 RULES IN WRITING ELECTRONIC

1. Aufbau principle
2. Hund’s Rule
3. Pauli’s exclusion principle
