2 Review: Let's try this one. State the electron configuration of tellurium. What about ions? Ba 2+ Cl - What about Cr? What about Cr?

3 Another one:? Exceptions: Here are some questions for you to try! How do we know if the sub orbitals are actually there? Well, from the ionization energy patterns! So, what's ionization energy? The first electron to be removed is one that already has a high energy and is least strongly attracted to the nucleus; that is, one in the valence shell. This will require the lowest ionization energy. If there are more electrons in this outer shell, then they will be removed next, with the ionization energy gradually increasing. When the outermost electron shell is empty, the next electron to be lost will come from the next closest shell to the nucleus. But since this shell is full, and therefore stable, a great deal more energy will be required to remove one electron from this shell than was needed to remove the previous electron.

4 A graph of first ionization energies of the first 54 elements shows distinct patterns that lead us to a greater understanding of the electron structure of an atom. The most obvious feature of this graph is the periodic series of peaks corresponding to the first ionization energy of the noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe). These elements have high first ionization energies because they have a full electron shell and an associated high degree of energetic stability. The next most obvious feature of the graph is the lowest point of each periodic series. These troughs correspond to the group 1 elements (Li, Na, K, Rb). These elements have only one electron in the outer shell and so the first ionization energy is small, as little energy is required to remove this electron from the atom. But, let's examine further... If the second energy level is like the first energy level, then we would expect a gradual increase in ionization energy as we remove the electrons one by one However, that's not the case!

5 This suggests the presence of sub-levels (subshells) within the main energy levels. The first sub-level in the 2nd energy level is filled with 2 electrons. The second sub-level appears to be filled by 3 electrons, with a third sub-level filled with a further 3 electrons. The other possibility, is that the second sub-level gains some stability in becoming half-full, and its greatest stability is when it is completely full with 6 electrons in it. So, what are these s, p, d, f orbitals? An orbital is a region of space in which an electron or electrons may be found Draw the shape of an s orbital and the shapes of the px, py and pz orbitals. s orbitals P orbitals What about d?
