1. Draw a dot-cross diagram for a sodium atom
2. Write an equation to show the first ionisation energy of sodium (its value is +496kJmol-1)
3. Write an equation to show the fifth ionisation energy of sodium (+13352kJmol-1)
4. Why are they such different values? (3 main factors)

•Hydrogen was studied
•The gaps between energy levels were not equal
•The closer to the nucleus, the closer together the energy levels were
HEISENBERG’S UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
“You cannot determine the position and momentum of an electron at the same time.”
This means that you cannot say exactly where an electron is. It put paid to the idea of electrons orbiting the nucleus in rings and introduced the idea of orbitals.

SLEVELS AND SUB-LEVELSLEVELS AND SUB-LEVELS
A study of Ionisation Energies and the periodic properties of elements suggested that the main energy levels were split into sub shells.
Level 1 was split into 1 sub shell
Level 2 was split into 2 sub shells
Level 3 was split into 3 sub shells
Level 4 was split into 4 sub shells

RULES AND PRINCIPLESRULES AND PRINCIPLES
THE AFBAU PRINCIPLE
“Electrons enter the lowest available energy level.”
PAULI’S EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE
“No two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers.”
Two electrons can go in each orbital, providing they are of opposite spin.
HUND’S RULE OF MAXIMUM MULTIPLICITY
“When in orbitals of equal energy, electrons will try to remain unpaired.”
“SITTING ON A BUS RULE”!
ATOMIC ORBITALSATOMIC ORBITALS
An orbital is... a region in an ATOM that can hold up to TWO ELECTRONS, with OPPOSITE SPINS
ORBITALSORBITALS
An orbital is... a region in space where one is likely to find an electron. a region in space where one is likely to find an electron.
Orbitals can hold up to two electrons as long as they have opposite spin; this is known as PAULI’S EXCLUSION PRINCIPAL.
Orbitals have different shapes...
ORBITAL SHAPE OCCURRENCE
s spherical one in every principal level
p dumb-bell three in levels from 2 upwards
d various five in levels from 3 upwards
f various seven in levels from 4 upwards

ORBITAL SHAPE OCCURRENCE
s spherical one in every principal level
p dumb-bell three in levels from 2 upwards
d various five in levels from 3 upwards
f various seven in levels from 4 upwards
An orbital is a 3-dimensional statistical shape showing where one is most likely to find an electron. Because, according to Heisenberg, you cannot say exactly where an electron is you are only able to say where it might be found.
DO NOT CONFUSE AN ORBITAL WITH AN ORBIT
SHAPES OF ORBITALSSHAPES OF ORBITALS
s orbitals
• spherical
• one occurs in every principal energy level
•s = ‘sharp’
SHAPES OF ORBITALSSHAPES OF ORBITALS
p orbitals
• dumb-bell shaped
• three occur in energy levels except the first
•p = ‘principal’
SHAPES OF ORBITALSSHAPES OF ORBITALS
d orbitals
• various shapes
• five occur in energy levels except the first and second
•d = ‘diffuse’
Orbitals are not filled in numerical order because the principal energy levels get closer together as you get further from the nucleus. This results in overlap of sub levels. The first example occurs when the 4s orbital is filled before the 3d orbitals.

LITHIUM
1s orbitals can hold a maximum of two electrons so the third electron in a lithium atom must go into the next available orbital of higher energy. This will be further from the nucleus in the second principal energy level.
The second principal level has two types of orbital (s and p). An s orbital is lower in energy than a p.

The next electron in doesn’t pair up with the one already there. This would give rise to repulsion between the similarly charged species. Instead, it goes into another p orbital which means less repulsion, lower energy and more stability.

POTASSIUM
In numerical terms one would expect the 3d orbitals to be filled next.
However, because the principal energy levels get closer together as you go further from the nucleus coupled with the splitting into sub energy levels, the 4s orbital is of a LOWER ENERGY than the 3d orbitals so gets filled first.

ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONS OF ELEMENTS 1-30
ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF IONSELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF IONS
• Positive ions (cations) are formed by removing electrons from atoms
• Negative ions (anions) are formed by adding electrons to atoms
• Electrons are removed first from the highest occupied orbitals (EXC. transition metals)

FIRST ROW TRANSITION METALS
Despite being of lower energy and being filled first, electrons in the 4s orbital are removed before any electrons in the 3d orbitals.

How is electronic configuration related to the structure of the Periodic Table?
Key Definitions• Atomic Orbital = a region in an atom that can
hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spins
• Principal quantum number, n = a number representing the overall energy of each orbital (increases with distance from the nucleus)
• A Shell or Energy Level = a group of atomic orbitals with the same quantum number, n.
• Electronic Configuration = the arrangement of electrons in an atom

Unit F321
Module 1.2.1Electron Structure
Define the terms first ionisation energy and successive ionisation energy;
Explain that ionisation energies are influenced by nuclear charge, electron shielding and the distance of the outermost electron from the nucleus;
predict from successive ionisation energies of an element: (i) the number of electrons in each shell of an atom, (ii) the group of the element;
state the number of electrons that can fill the first four shells;
describe an orbital as a region that can hold up to two electrons, with opposite spins;
describe the shapes of s and p orbitals;
state the number of: (i) orbitals making up s-, p- and d-sub- shells, (ii) electrons that occupy s-, p- and d-sub- shells;
describe the relative energies of s-, p- and d- orbitals for the shells 1, 2, 3 and the 4s and 4p orbitals;
deduce the electron configurations of: (i) atoms, given the atomic number, up to Z = 36, (ii) ions, given the atomic number and ionic charge, limited to s and p blocks up to Z = 36;
classify the elements into s, p and d blocks.
