AP WORKSHEET 01e: Orbital filling rules

The rules that you have been applying in order to determine the electronic configuration of an atom are summarized below.

A. Lowest energy orbitals are filled first. THE AUFBAU PRINCIPLE.

B. Orbitals can only contain a maximum of two electrons and when two electrons enter the same orbital they must have opposite spins (+ ½

or – ½) so that each electron has a unique set of quantum numbers. (In the electrons in boxes diagram they must be drawn NOT

OR ). THE PAULI EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE.

C. When orbitals of identical energy (degenerate) are available electrons enter these orbitals singly before any spin pairing takes place. HUNDS RULE.

Consider each of the elements listed and the INCORRECT electronic configuration associated with each one. In each case identify which of the above rules or principles (A, B or C) is violated and insert the correct electronic configuration (in a similar format to that of the incorrect configuration). Then add a possible set of quantum numbers for the outer most electron. An example is completed for you. (34)

AP WORKSHEET 01n: Mass Spectrometry

1. How many peaks would be observed in the mass spectrum of O2+, given that there are three,

commonly occurring isotopes of O with mass numbers of 16, 17 and 18? (2)

2. Bromine has two isotopes, Br79

and Br81

. The isotopes occur in a 50:50 (1:1) ratio. Given that the

mass spectrum of bromine contains peaks for both bromine atoms and diatomic bromine molecules,

predict the number of peaks in the spectrum. What would be the relative height of the atomic peaks?

What would be the relative height of the molecular peaks? Assume that z = +1 in each case. (4)

3. A sample of carbon atoms were chemically combined with a sample of oxygen atoms to yield the

compound carbon dioxide. The sample of oxygen atoms was artificially manufactured to have a 3:1

ratio of O16

and O18

, Assuming carbon to have only a single isotope C12

, predict the mass spectrum

that the resulting sample of carbon dioxide would produce in terms of the number of peaks. Which

peak would be the smallest? Explain. Assume the mass spectrum only includes peaks for the

compound carbon dioxide and that z = +1 in each case. (4)

4. Neon atoms are known to produce a mass spectrum that consists of three peaks at m/z values of 20,

21 and 22, with the relative abundance of the peaks found to be in the ratio 112:0.21:11.1. Assuming

the z value of the species causing the peaks to be +1 in each case, calculate the average atomic

mass of neon based on these data. (2)
