be found

○ Quantum numbers - describe distribution of electrons in an atom
■ Principle Shell - orbitals of approximately the same size and energy
■ 𝛹 = function (n, l, ml, ms)
● Represented by the principal quantum number, n (n=1,2,3…)
● Higher “n”, higher energy, farther from nucleus
● # orbitals = n2
● n tells us the distance of e- from the nucleus
○ Subshells - part of the principal shell, orbitals have the same energy and
similar shape
■ 𝛹 = fn(n, l, ml, ms)
Angular momentum quantum number l
■ Same values as n and l
■ # of subshells = n

contains 2 e- each, so = 10 electrons in 3rd subshell

...
○ Using the periodic table to determine electron configuration
■ Row = energy shell
■ Length of row depends on types of subshells
● Paramagnetic - unpaired electrons so attracted to a magnet
● Diamagnetic - all electrons paired - slightly repelled by magnet
● Valence electrons - electrons in outermost principal shell (largest n)
○ Si: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3 p2
■ Highest shell 3: 2 e- from s and 2 e- from p, so 2+2 = 4 V
