Lesson 3 - Electron Distribution

Electron distribution refers to the arrangement of electrons in an atom's atomic orbitals, influencing its chemical reactions and molecular formations. Key notations for electron distribution include electron configuration and orbital diagrams, while fundamental principles guiding this distribution are the Aufbau Principle, Pauli Exclusion Principle, and Hund's Rule. Noble gas electron configuration serves as a shorthand method for representing electron arrangements.

LESSON 3

ELECTRON
DISTRIBUTION
Prepared by: Cristy Joy L. Aranas
WHAT IS It is the distribution of
ELECTRON electrons of an atom in
atomic orbitals.
DISTRIBUTION?
determines the chemical reactions the atom can
participate in and determines the kinds of
molecules that atoms can combine into to form
more complicated substances.
TYPES OF NOTATION
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION
1 uses the symbols of the orbitals and the
number of electrons that occupy each
orbital.
TYPES OF NOTATION
ORBITAL DIAGRAM
2 consists of boxes and arrows that represent
the orbitals and the electrons.
GENERAL RULES IN
ELECTRON DISTRIBUTION
1 Aufbau
Principle
dictates the manner in which
electrons are filled in the atomic
orbitals of an atom in its ground
state. It states that electrons are
filled into atomic orbitals in the
increasing order of orbital energy
level.
GENERAL RULES IN
ELECTRON DISTRIBUTION
2 Pauli Exclusion
Principle
states that no two electrons
in the same atom can have
identical values for all four of
their quantum numbers
GENERAL RULES IN
ELECTRON DISTRIBUTION
3 Hund's Rule of
Maximum
Multiplicity
suggests that the most stable
arrangement of electrons in
subshells is the one with the
greatest number of parallel
spins
NOBLE GAS a shorthand method of writing
electron configuration
Electron
Configuration
CORE SYMBOLS
representations of the
electron configuration of
the noble gas that belongs
to the row before that of
the element being asked.
