18 Οκτ 2024 · Revision notes on 1.1.4 Shells and Orbitals for the AQA A Level Chemistry syllabus, written by the Chemistry experts at Save My Exams.
Starting with the energy level/shell closest to the nucleus electrons fill the different shells in order of increasing energy. Energy levels or shells can be divided into sub-shells, which can hold different numbers of electrons. Within each sub-shell there are one or more orbitals.
Shells and subshells are filled in energy level order, so electrons will fill the 4 s subshell before the 3 d shell. Orbitals are filled singly by electrons and will only double up once all orbitals have at least one electron to prevent repulsion by pairing.
14 Αυγ 2020 · When drawing orbital diagrams, we include empty boxes to depict any empty orbitals in the same subshell that we are filling. Carbon (atomic number 6) has six electrons. Four of them fill the 1 s and 2 s orbitals.
For example the 1s orbital is filled and then we can fill the 2s orbital and go on to the 2p orbitals. The filling order follows: 1s→2s→2p→3s→3p→4s→3d→4p→5s→4d→5p→6s→4f→5d→6p→7s→5f→6d→7p. Electron configurations and orbital box diagrams can be written right from the periodic table.
Orbitals are filled from the lowest energy to the highest energy. The usual energy order is from s ⇒ p ⇒ d. The transition metals are an anomaly. The 4s sub-shell is of a lower energy than the 3d sub-shell, and so here the filling order is: 3s ⇒ 3p ⇒ 4s ⇒ 3d.
8 Σεπ 2020 · Much as one fills up a container with liquid from the bottom up, the orbitals of an atom are filled from the lowest energy orbitals to the highest energy orbitals. Orbitals with the lowest principal quantum number ( n {\displaystyle n} ) have the lowest energy and will fill up first, in smaller atoms.
