Electron Configuration

Today in class Mrs. Mandarino stamped page 5 that was for homework and later went over it in class.

Remember...

-No Charge = Same Number of Protons and electrons

-Negative Charge = More electrons than protons

-Positive Charge = Less Electrons than protons


After homework we started talking about the s, p, d, f orbitals.

- s orbitals: Can hold a max of 2e-

- p orbitals: Can hold a max of 6e-

- d orbitals: Can hold a max of 10e-

- f orbitals: Can hold a max of 14e-

Then we learned about...

Electron Configuration: "Adresses" or maps where we are most likely to find electrons.

- Example: 1s² 2s² 2p3 = N


We used our periodic tables she gave us sometime ago. We labeled some parts of the periodic table with..

- 1s-7s
- 2p-6p
- 3d-6d
- 4p-6p
- 4f-5f

Ask Mrs. Mandarino or another student to show you how they labled it.

Today was pretty confusing. Suggest going to Mrs. Mandrino or the TLC for help if needed.
