Basics of Chemistry

Part-03 (Shell and Sub-shell Electronic configuration)

In the previous two parts of this series, we have learnt about details of first 20 elements, calculated their atomic weight and drawn their atomic structures. 

Not seen Part-1 and Part-2 yet??



Basics of Chemistry || Part-03 ||

In this part we will be discussing about shell(orbit) and sub-shell(orbital) electronic configuration of first 20 elements. We will learn how to write these electronic configurations and what information can be obtained from them.

So, let us start...

As we have seen in the atomic structure, the first shell (orbit) can accommodate maximum 2 electrons, we will first try to put 2 electrons in 1st orbit i.e., K-Shell (orbit). But, Hydrogen contains only 1 electron as a whole, so it contains only 1 electron in the 1st shell (Orbit).

Then, the 2nd orbit i.e., L-Shell can accommodate maximum 8 electrons. So, we will try to put 8 electrons in the 2nd orbit but only after completion of 1st orbit.

    After understanding shell electronic configuration, we have to understand Aufbau Principle of placing electrons in the sub-shells (Orbitals). There are total 4 sub-shells i.e., s-sub shell, p- sub shell, d- sub shell and f - sub shell.


Sub-shell electronic configuration
According to Aufbau's principle, the sub-shell which has the lowest energy will be filled first with electrons. The sequence of energy levels of sub-shells is shown in the given diagram.

Basics of Chemistry Part-02   ( Atomic structure of f irst 20 elements) In the previous part we learnt about details of first 20 element and we calculated atomic weight of them. That was the first and most important step in studying chemistry. Without understanding about elements, their symbol and valancy, it is impossible to understand chemistry. So, for that, we have to first draw and understand the atomic structure of all first 20 elements. Click here for  Basics of Chemistry || Part-01 || So, let us start...
