Document Summary
Chm 115 - lecture 10 - quantum theory continued. Electron energies are quantized, this is what causes them to only inhabit constrained orbitals. Electrons moving from one orbital to another requires the absorption of energy (when moving to a higher energy orbital) or the release of energy (when moving to a lower energy orbital) Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energies. Each orbital can contain up to two electrons. Two electrons sharing an orbital must have opposite spins. Spins are indicated by spin quantum number, which has values of + or. In a set of orbitals (e. g. 2s, 2p, 3d) each orbital must have one electron in it before any orbital can have two. The above diagram of the periodic table can be used to determine the electron configuration of different elements. Electrons fill orbitals according to the rows in this version of the table.
