Electronic Structure
Electrons have wavelike and particulate
properties.
This means that electrons are in orbitals defined by a
probability.
Each orbital at discrete energy level is determined by
quantum numbers.

Electron Configurations
Valence electrons those in unfilled shells
Filled shells more stable
Valence electrons are most available for
bonding and tend to control the chemical
properties

Electropositive elements:
Readily give up electrons
to become + ions.
Electronegative elements:
Readily acquire electrons
to become - ions.

Ranges from 0.7 to 4.0,
Large values: tendency to acquire electrons.

Covalent Bonding
similar electronegativity share electrons
bonds determined by valence s & p orbitals
dominate bonding
Example: CH4
C: has 4 valence e-,
needs 4 more
