the incorrect electron configuration of Nobel gas
No. of electron in 3d subshell and 4s subshell in Cu respectively are
Writing of electronic configuration of any element is based on three rules as told in previous concepts. They are:
Aufbau principle
Pauli’s exclusion principle
Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity
The distribution of electrons into orbitals of an atom is called its electronic configuration.
The electronic configuration of the different elements can be represented in two ways:
Subshell notation
Orbital diagram
Let’s understand with the help of examples:
The hydrogen atom has only one electron which goes in the orbital with lowest energy, namely 1s.The E.C of hydrogen is 1s1 (subshell notation)
Orbital diagram:
2. The electronic configuration of lithium is 1s2 2s1. Lithium has 3 electrons as atomic number is 3. 2 electrons filled in 1s orbital and 1 electron filled in 2s orbital.
let us consider fluorine (Z = 9) :
F(Z = 9) = 1s2, 2s2, 2px2, 2py2, 2pz1 or
The importance of knowing the exact electronic configuration of an element lies in the fact that the chemical properties of an element are dependent on the behavior and relative arrangement of its electrons.
