Relative Masses of Atoms

Atoms are too small to measure actual mass

Compare masses of atoms using relative mass

Reading the Periodic TablePeriod: horizontal row Group: vertical column

Elements in the same group have similar chemical propertiesbecause they have the same number of outer shell e-

22

Each e- in an atom “sits” at an energy level (n)• •

Energy States• Ground state:

• n = 1

• Excited states: • n = 2, 3, 4,…

• Photon emitted:

• Photon absorbed:

23

Energy Sublevels

• Each level consists of sublevels• # of sublevels in each level = level

number

• n = 1

• n = 2

• n = 3

• n = 4

Orbitals

• Regions with the highest probability of finding an electron

• Each type of orbital has a given shape:

• How many sublevels are in the n = 3 energy level?

• What are these sublevels? How many of each type are there?

• How many electrons can be held in the n = 3 energy levels?

5-minute practice

Orbital Energy Levels• Pauli Exclusion Principle:

•

• Electrons want to sit in lowest energy level

• For a given n value: Order of sublevel energy: s < p < d < f
