Quantum Numbers and Electron Configuration: Group 8 11-St. Camill Us de Lellis

The document discusses electron configuration and quantum numbers. It provides three examples: 1. It explains the four quantum numbers - principal, azimuthal, magnetic, and spin quantum numbers - and how they are used to write electron configuration notation. 2. It gives two examples of writing electron configuration notation using the four quantum numbers. 3. It provides two examples of writing the full electron configuration of atoms, including iron and zirconium, using the Aufbau principle and diagonal rule.

Atomic electron configuration

what is Quantum and
Electron configuration?
• the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an
atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.

• The Quantum Numbers are set of numbers used to describe


the position and energy of the electron in an atom are called
quantum numbers. There are four quantum numbers, namely,
principal, azimuthal, magnetic and spin quantum numbers.

Electron Notation and Identify the
four Quantum Numbers.

Here are the two examples OF ELECTRON NOTATION AND IDENTIFY THE FOUR QUANTUM NUMBERS:

First example; Given the quantum numbers of n=2 l=2 ml=0 and ms=½
The Principal quantum number ( n ) which is 2 is our energy level.
Next, is our angular momentum quantum (l) which is 2. We can determine the sublevel by using the s,p,d,f (s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3)2
then it will be equal to the d sub level. Next, our magnetic quantum number (ml), since our sublevel is d will have 3 orbitals which are
(-1,0, 0). In our given ml is = 0 so we have to fill up the orbitals ending in the number 0. Our Spin quantum number (ms) is positive 1/2,
we will only fill the orbitals with arrows pointing upwards. Count the arrows which are 2. Given the steps, we can determine the
electron notation and that would be 2p³

Second Example; Given the quantum numbers of n=6 l=3 ml=3 and ms=+½
Follow the steps from the previous example. The principal quantum number ( n ) is 6. Next, Azimuthal or Angular momentum quantum(l).
Determine the sublevel by using s,p,d,f (s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3), if l is 3 then it is the f sublevel. Our Magnetic quantum number (ml) is 2
so we will fill the orbitals ending in number 2. Given the f sublevel, we have 7 orbitals which are (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3). Lastly, our spin
quantum number (ms) is negative ½. We will fill the orbitals with arrows pointing upwards first then downwards until it reached the
number 2. Count the Number of arrows and that is 12. The electron notation is 6f7
4 Quantum Number and Identify the
Electron Notation

Here are the two examples OF 4 quantum numbers AND IDENTIFY the electron notation:

First example; 4f¹⁰


-for the first given quantum number n=4, because this number refers for this energy level
-for the second given quantum number which is the angular momentum (s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3). The f sublevel is equal to 3, so if l=3, so the
values of ml will be -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
-for the third given quantum number which is the magnetic, ml= -1. Since the 10th electrons in 4f sublevel landed in the -1 orbital
-for the last quantum number which is the electron spin. Since the arrow is facing downward, ms is equal to -1/2

Second Example; 3d⁵


-the first quantum number is n=3 because this number refers for this energy level
-the second quantum number which is angular momentum. The d sublevel is equal to 2, so if l=2 the values of ml will be -2, -1, 0 1, 2.
-the third quantum number which is the magnetic m=2. Since the 5th electrons in 3d sublevel landed in the positive 2 orbital.
-last quantum number which is the electron spin. Since the arrow is facing upward, ms is equal to +1/2
Electron Configuration of Atom

Here are the two examples OF ELECTRON CONFIGURATION:

First example; IRON (FE)


On the periodic table Fe has and Atomic Number of 26 and an average Atomic Mass of about 55.85. So an atom of Iron
metal has 26 electrons so what about an ion Fe? Therefore the Fe 2+ Ion has 24 Electrons. It has 2 less than this number. So
now we have 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶. Now d can hold up to 10 but we only need 6 more. And then we are going to
add all of the numbers until we get the 26.

Second Example; Zirconium (ZR)


Zr has the Atomic Number of 40 and an average Atomic Mass of about 91.224. Since zr is neutral there’s no negative or
positive sign because it’s neutral element. We will use the diagonal rule where you use a chart to figure out electron
configuration. So to do that we have 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s²,3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s² so we have right now 38 electrons and we need
40 so it end up in 4d¹⁰.
The mind is just like a muscle —
the more you exercise it, the
stronger it gets and the more it can
expand.
