• 1. Louis de Broglie
• 2. Erwin schrodinger
• 3. Werner heisenberg
• Louis de Broglie (1892–1987) hypothesized that
particles, including electrons, could also have
wavelike behaviors.
• Electrons do not behave like particles flying through
space.
• We cannot, in general, describe their exact paths.
• In 1926, Erwin Schrodinger derived an
equation that described the energy and
position of the electrons in an atom
WERNER HEISENBERG
• Formulated his “uncertainty principle” which states that ,”it is
impossible to determine momentum and the position of an electron
at the same time accurately.
• Instead, these scientists believed that there is only a probability that
the electron can be found in a certain volume in space around the
nucleus. This volume or region of space around the nucleus where
the electron is most likely to be found is called an

ELECTRON
CONFIGURATION
The arrangement of electrons in
the orbital of an atom.
The distribution of electrons on the
main energy level( shells) and sub
energy levels (sub-shells).
AUFBAU PRINCIPLE
• Electrons in an atom occupy first the lowest
possible energy levels and/or orbitals
• Within an energy level, the s subshell is the
lowest energy sublevel. The f subshell is
the highest energy sublevel. The p & d
sublevels are in the middle but d has more
energy than p
• Energy levels sometimes overlap but since
electrons enter orbitals of lowest energy
first, electrons will fill a 4s orbital before a

2. HUNDS RULE
•States that when you get
degenerate orbitals, you
have to fill them all the way
first, and then you start
pairing up the electrons
•Electrons are filled in one at
a time before pairing

Aufbau Principle: Electrons are added one at a time to the lowest
energy orbitals available until all the electrons of the atom
have been accounted for.
