- For a stable configuration each atom must fill its outer energy level. In the case of noble gases that means eight electrons in the last shell (with the exception of He which has two electrons). Atoms that have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outer levels will tend to lose them in interactions with atoms that have 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outer levels. Atoms that have 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outer levels will tend to gain electrons from atoms with 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outer levels. Atoms that have 4 electrons in the outer most energy level will tend neither to totally lose nor totally gain electrons during interactions.

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons. Only the s and p electrons are involved in the octet rule, making it useful for the representative elements (elements not in the transition metal or inner-transition metal blocks). An octet corresponds to an electron configuration ending with s2p6.

Quantum Numbers and Electron Orbitals The properties of an atom's electron configuration are described by four quantum numbers: n, ℓ, m, and s. First Quantum Number. The first is the energy level quantum number, n. In an orbit, lower energy orbits are close to the source of attraction. The more energy you give a body in orbit, the further 'out' it goes. If you give the body enough energy, it will leave the system entirely. The same is true for an electron orbital.

Atomic Structure Electron Configuration and Valence Electrons. The electrons in an atom fill up its atomic orbitals according to the Aufbau Principle; Aufbau, in German, means building up..ach element has a number of valence electrons equal to its group number on the Periodic Table. This table illustrates a number of interesting, and complicating, features of electron configuration. Figure %: The periodicity of valence electrons. First, as electrons become higher in energy, a shift takes place.

- 1 When electrons are knocked out of their orbit, they leave behind vacancies, making the atom unstable. The atom must immediately correct the instability by filling the vacancies that the displaced electrons left behind. 2  Electrons have higher binding energies the further they are from the nucleus of the atom.

Valence Electrons 1 For elements in Groups IIIA through VIIIA the outermost s and p electrons in the highest energy shell are valence electrons. 2  For transition elements the valence electrons are those in the outermost s sub-shell and in the d sub-shell of the next to outermost energy shell.efinition of Valence ElectronsTo define valence electrons the electrons in the last shell (outermost shell) are called valence electrons.. These electrons govern the chemical properties of the atoms. Valence electrons are mainly responsible for the emission spectra of the elements.

Electron Configuration The electron configuration for Ca 2+ is the same as that for Argon, which has 18 electrons. Hence, we can say that both are isoelectronic. The electronic configuration of anions is assigned by adding electrons according to Aufbau's building up principle. We add electrons to fill the outermost orbital that is occupied, and then add more electrons to the next higher orbital. The neutral atom chlorine (Z=17), for instance has 17 electrons.

What does the Aufbau principle state? a. Electrons will be added to an atom in a random order. b. Electrons will be added to an atom starting from the lowest possible level or sublevel. c. Electrons will be added to an atom in a symmetrical manner. d. Electrons will be added to an atom only if the orbitals are different colors. e. Electrons will be added to an atom in order of their size. The correct answer as to what the Aufbau principle states is B. electrons will be added to an atom starting from the lowest possible level or sublevel. First, these lowest levels have to be fulfilled before going into the higher levels of energy, in order to make the matter balanced and in harmony, until the perfect electron configuration is achieved - the one which is stable. The word Aufbau is a German word that means building-up.. Report.

Atoms and Elements This space is called the first energy shell. If there are three electrons in an atom, the first two will be found in the first energy shell. The third electron will have to settle for the second energy shell, a three-dimensional space a little farther from the nucleus, where it will be alone.

How to Write the Electron Configuration for Chlorine (Cl) How to Write the Electron Configuration for Chlorine (Cl) In order to write the Chlorine electron configuration we first need to know the number of electrons for the Cl atom (there are 17 electrons). When we write the configuration we'll put all 17 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of the Chlorine atom. In writing the electron configuration for Chlorine the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Chlorine go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons.

- Electrons from one atom can be attracted to the nucleus of another atom if the atoms are close enough together. In terms of potential energy, this means that the lowest energy state (most stable) is achieved when electrons are as close as possible to a nucleus.

- The shells can also be called energy levels. We will use the term shell rather than energy level but either is acceptable. The maximum number of electrons in each shell, going from the middle to the outside, is 2, 8, 8, 18. Below is a picture of a potassium atom.Its electron structure is 2, 8, 8, 1. An atom that has the maximum number of electrons in its outer shell will be stable.This means that it will not react with other atoms. It belongs to a group called the noble gases. When the outer shell has the maximum number of electrons, the electron shells are said to be full.he shells can also be called energy levels. We will use the term shell rather than energy level but either is acceptable. The maximum number of electrons in each shell, going from the middle to the outside, is 2, 8, 8, 18. Below is a picture of a potassium atom.

- The most important factor to how atoms interact with their surroundings is the number of valence electrons they have. Elements in the same column of the table have the same number of valence electrons, so they react in similar ways. Backtracking to explain valence electrons: because of quantum mechanics, electrons can only fit in certain fixed states around a nucleus (the protons and neutron bundle that forms the core of every atom).

- In the period from sodium to chlorine, the same thing happens. The size of the atom is controlled by the 3-level bonding electrons being pulled closer to the nucleus by increasing numbers of protons-in each case, screened by the 1- and 2-level electrons.

Electron Configuration We represent the arrangement of electrons in an atom (the electron configuration) using an orbital diagram, a picture that shows the arrangement by orbital. A sample orbital diagram for the boron atom is shown below. Boron has five protons and five electrons.2s 2 2p 1). The two electrons in boron's 1s orbital (1s 2) are buried too deep inside the atom to react. You might be wondering at this point how you write an electron configuration-how to determine the order that orbitals fill up in.
