Key Concepts

Electron Configuration

Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons among the orbitals of an atom. It follows defined rules and illustrates how electrons fill into energy levels and sublevels, showing the arrangement in a systematic order that corresponds to the element's atomic number.

Atomic Orbitals

Atomic orbitals are regions in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons. Each orbital, such as s or p, has a specific shape and energy level, and the full orbital diagram represents these individual orbitals with electron spins indicated by arrows.

Aufbau Principle

The Aufbau Principle states that electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy, starting from the lowest energetic orbital and progressing toward higher energy orbitals. This principle is crucial for determining the order in which electrons populate the various orbitals in an atom.

Pauli Exclusion Principle

The Pauli Exclusion Principle asserts that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. This means each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, and they must have opposite spins, a key consideration in drawing orbital diagrams.

Hund's Rule

Hund's Rule states that electrons will occupy degenerate orbitals singly and with parallel spins before pairing up. This rule minimizes electron repulsion and is important for correctly distributing electrons in orbitals with equivalent energy levels, such as the three p orbitals.
