Electron Density
• Gives the probability that an electron will be found in a particular region of an atom
• Regions of high electron density represent a high probability of locating the electron
Representation of the electron density distribution surrounding the nucleus in
the hydrogen atom; shows a high probability of finding the electron closer
to the nucleus
Based on Heisenberg uncertainty principle and Schrodinger wave equation

Atomic Orbital
• Way to distinguish Bohr’s model from the current quantum mechanical model
• Probability of locating the electron in 3D space around the nucleus
• Has a characteristic energy

Energy levels are like rungs of a ladder. You cannot be in
between a rung
Energy levels in an atom’s electron are unequally spaced.
The higher energy levels are closer together.

Electron Spin Quantum Number
•Electrons are thought to be spinning on their own axes-clockwise, or counterclockwise.
•The up and down arrows denote the direction of the spin.

Energy of Orbitals
depends on principle and angular momentum quantum numbers

Shielding Effect
• Why is the 2s orbital lower in energy than the 2p?
• “shielding” reduces the electrostatic attraction
• Energy difference also depends on orbital shape

Pauli Exclusion Principle
• No two electrons can have the same 4 quantum numbers
• Only two electrons may occupy the same atomic orbital, and these electrons must have opposite spins
• Electrons that have opposite spins are said to be paired

Hund’s Rule•The most stable arrangement of electrons in an orbital is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins
•e- will occupy singly before filling with opposite spins

PracticeFill in the orbital diagram, and write the electron
configuration for the following atoms
![Page 23: Quantum Mechanics. Electron Density Gives the probability that an electron will be found in a particular region of an atom Regions of high electron density](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020323/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ec64/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example of Exceptions to the Rules
Element Should be Actually isCopper 1s22s22p63s23p63d44s2 1s22s22p63s23p63d54s1
Chromium 1s22s22p63s23p63d94s2 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s1
•These are not the only two exceptions.
•The rules are violated because half-filled sublevels are not as stable as filled sublevels, but they are more stable than other configurations
