Slide 3

Energy Levels and Sublevels The emission spectrum for each element has a characteristic set of spectral lines. This means that the energy levels within the atom must also be characteristic of each element. When scientists investigated multi-electron atoms, they found that their spectra were far more complex than would be anticipated by the simple set of energy levels predicted for hydrogen. These spectra have many more lines than the spectrum of hydrogen.

Slide 4

Some lines are grouped close together, and there are big gaps between these groups of lines. Energy Levels and Sublevels The big gaps correspond to the energy released when an electron jumps from one energy level to another. This suggests that sublevelsdivisions within a levelexist within a given energy level. The interpretation of the closely spaced lines is that they represent the movement of electrons from levels that are not very different in energy.

Slide 5

If electrons are distributed over one or more sublevels within an energy level, then these electrons would have only slightly different energies. The energy sublevels are designated as s, p, d, or f. Energy Levels and Sublevels Each energy level has a specific number of sublevels, which is the same as the number of the energy level. For example, the first energy level has one sublevel. Its called the 1s sublevel. The second energy level has two sublevels, the 2s and 2p sublevels Within a given energy level, the energies of the sublevels, from lowest to highest, are s, p, d, and f. The third energy level has three sublevels: the 3s, 3p, and 3d sublevels; and the fourth energy level has four sublevels: the 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f sublevels.

Slide 7

Electron Configurations This most stable arrangement of electrons in orbitals and sublevels is called an electron configuration. Electrons fill orbitals and sublevels in an orderly fashion beginning with the innermost sublevels and continuing to the outermost.

W RITING E LECTRON C ONFIGURATIONS 1. You always start at the beginning of the periodic table. 2. Use the row number on the periodic table to give you the energy level (or coefficient) to use. 3. Use the block on your periodic table to tell you the sublevel (or letter) to write on your electron configuration. 4. Count across your periodic table until a. You reach the end of a block or a row. b. You reach your desired element. This tells you the number of electrons to write (or the exponent).
