1. Quantum Mechanics quantum mechanics orbitals In quantum mechanics, the electrons occupy specific energy levels (as in Bohr's model) but they also exist within specific probability volumes called orbitals with specific orientations in space. The electrons within each orbital has a distinct spin. n n = The principle quantum number Describes the possible energy levels and pictorially it describes the orbital size. n = 1, 2, 3…. where an orbital with the value of 2 is larger than an orbital with the value of 1. 1s 2s

2. Quantum Mechanics l l = angular momentum quantum number Describes the "shape" of the orbital and can have values from 0 to n - 1 for each n. orbital designation :s p d f shape : m l = magnetic quantum number l ll Related to the orientation of an orbital in space relative to the other orbitals with the same l quantum numbers. It can have values between l and - l. m s = spin quantum number An electron has either + 1 / 2 or - 1 / 2 spin values; sometimes referred to as spin up and spin down. Too hard to draw see text

4. Electron Configuration Electron configuration is a shorthand notation for describing the arrangement of the electrons about the nucleus. General Format using the quantum numbers: n l e- n l e- RULES: 1. Fill the lowest energy levels first. 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 2. No more than two electrons per orbital. n = principle quantum number l = angular momentum quantum number e- = number of electrons Lowest

CORE electrons are tightly held to the nucleus and resemble a noble gas configuration. VALENCE electrons are the outer most electrons and are involved in chemical reactions. Examples of the condensed configuration: 3d 7 Li:[He] 2s 1 Co:[Ar] 4s 2 3d 7 3d 10 4p 5 Br:[Ar] 4s 2 3d 10 4p 5
