Editing CP Objectives For Electron Configuration

ChemistryWiki | RecentChanges | Preferences

The learner will be able to: 
 
1. Generate the subenergy from lowest energy (closest to the nucleus) to the highest subenergy level (farthest from nucleus).Should be able to do this just from the Periodic Table.

2. Be able to determine the number of total electron and/or orbitals and/or subenergy levels from knowledge of the energy level. (i.e. there are 4 orbitals in the 2nd energy level since the 2nd energy level only has 2 subenergy levels, s & p, with s having 1 orbital and p having 3 orbtials). 
 
3. Know the 3 rules of filling in electron in subenergy / orbital including name and what it means (Aufbau Principle, Hund'sRule, and Pauli Exclusion Principle)

4. Determine the correct electron configuration for any atom (Remember to write the last subenergy levels out as orbitals) including the half-half (Cr and all elements in same column/family) and half-full (Cu and all elements in same column/family) exceptions. Should be able to do this with just the Periodic Table.

5. Be able to determine the number of valence electrons for any "s" or "p" block element.
