ELECTRON STRUCTURES
Energy levels of electrons
Prinsipal energy levels
Designated by “n”
n=1, n=2 and so on…
Sublevels
If n=1 there is only one sublevel: s
If n=2 there is two sublevels: s and p
Orbitals
Space for electrons
If n=2, electron occupy in 1s, 2s and 2px, 2py, 2pz
s orbital
spherical in shape.
The electron does not move around on the surface of the
sphere, but rather the surface encloses a space where there is a
90% probability that the electron may be found.

atomic orbitals, in order to understand electronic
behavior.

2. Hund’s rule: the most stable arrangement of
electrons in sublevel is the one with the greatest
number of parallel spins.

Guidelines to write electron configuration
Max. 2 electrons can occupy one orbital (opposite
spin)
Sub-shell no. of orbitals max no.of electrons
s 1 2
p 3 6
d 5 10
f 7 14
Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available.
They enter a higher energy orbital only after the lower
orbitals are filled.
Orbital energies: s < p < d < f

Electrons are added singly to the atomic orbital with
parallel spins to minimize repulsion between them
the arrows are shown in the same direction (same
spin).
Then the electrons pair up in the orbital sub-shells with
opposite spin
the arrows are shown in opposite directions.

Anion are always larger than the atom from which they
were formed.
Because the Zeff remains the same but the repulsion
resulting from the additional electron(s) enlarges the
domain of the electron cloud.

When comparing cations or anions within a column
(group), they get larger going down the column.
Example:
Ca2+ > Mg2+ and I- > Br-
I2
Na+ (g) Na2+ (g) + e- E = 4560 kJ/mol
Alkali metals
Very reactive (why?)
Have low first ionization energy great tendency to lose the
its valence electron to form ions with a +1 charge.
React with water producing hydrogen gas and solutions of
alkali metal hydroxides
2Na (s) + 2H2O (l) 2NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
Reaction between alkali metals and oxygen:
Lithium form metal oxides (which contain O2- ion)
4Li (s) + O2 (g) 2Li2O (s)
other metals form metal oxides and peroxides (contain O22-
ion)
2Na (s) + O2 (g) Na2O2 (s)
K, Rb and Cs also form superoxides (contains O2- ion)
K (s) + O2 (g) KO2 (s)
GROUP 2 (ns2, n≥2 )
Alkali earth metals
Less reactive than alkali metals
ionization energies decrease as we move down the group from
Be to Ba.
reactivity increases from top to bottom
Reactivity towards water
Beryllium (Be) does not react with water
Mg react with steam to form MgO and hydrogen gas
Mg (s) + H2O (g) MgO (s) + H2 (g)
Ca, Sr, Ba react with water at room temperature
Ca (s) + 2H2O (l) Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2 (g)
Reactivity towards oxygen
increase from Be to Ba
Be and Mg form oxides (BeO and MgO) only at
elevated temperature
Ca, Sr and Ba form oxides at room temperature
Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba reacts with aqueous acid to produce
hydrogen gas
Mg (s) + 2H+ (aq) Mg2+ (aq) + H2 (g)
