ElectronsCore electrons
Electrons found in the inner shells
Valence electronsFound in the outermost shell of an
atom
Energy LevelsEach layer or shell is considered
one energy level.
Qwizdom Questions1. Which of the following elements have valence
electrons in Energy Level 1?a. He
b. B
c. Si
2. Which of the following elements have valence electrons in Energy Level 3?
a. He
b. B
c. Si
Electron ConfigurationAn electron’s “address” has four parts
1. Energy level (1-7) Describes how far the electron is from the
nucleus2. Energy sublevel (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d…)
Describes what type of orbital an electron is in
Contains one or more orbitals
3. Orbital (s,p,d,f) Describes the shape of space an electron
occupies Can hold up to two electrons
4. Superscript (1s1, 2p4, 4d8…) Indicates how many electrons are in each
sublevel
Filling in Orbital DiagramsFind number of electrons
Start adding electrons starting with first sublevel (1s)
When a sublevel is completely filled, move on to next sublevel following the correct order
Always add up arrow first.
Once all orbitals in a sublevel have an up arrow, then you can add 2nd electron (down arrow)
Energy Level 1 H 1s1 He 1s2
Energy Level 2 Li 1s2 2s1 Be 1s2 2s2
B 1s2 2s2 2p1 C 1s2 2s2 2p2 N 1s2 2s2 2p3
