Rules for e- configurations1. Aufbau principleAufbau principle: e- enter orbitals of lowest energy
level (Hogs are lazy, they don’t want to walk up stairs!)
2. Pauli exclusion principlePauli exclusion principle: an atomic orbital may describe at most 2 e-, e- in the same orbital will spin in opposite directions (They stink, so you can’t put more than two hogs in each room. & If hogs are in the same room they will face in opposite directions.)
3. Hund’s ruleHund’s rule: when e- occupy orbitals of = energy, 1 enters each orbital until all the orbitals contain 1 e- w/parallel spins (Hogs want to room by themselves, but they would rather room with another hog than walk up more stairs.)
Now you will relate the “Hog Hilton” to electron orbitals. Electron orbitals are modeled by the picture on the left and are grouped into principal energy levels.1. Compare their similarities and differences.2. To go between floors on the Hog Hilton did the hogs need to use energy? Would electrons need to use the energy to go between orbitals.

A. The principal quantum numbers, (n)• Electrons are in designated energy levels.
Organization of e- in the Quantum Mechanical model
The ground state- the lowest energy state of the atom
B. Within the energy level are sublevels, designated by letters.

Using the Noble Gases to write Shorthand• Write the noble gas that is in the previous row. • Use the symbol of the noble gas, put it in brackets, then write the
rest of the configuration.
When we write the e- config using Noble Gas notation…
It would be written [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4
