1Rules of Electron Etiquette
Aufbau Principle Electrons always seek the
lowest energy level
2Rules of Electron Etiquette
Pauli Exclusion Principle Since electrons
possess spin, (ms 1/2, -1/2),
an orbital may hold at most two electrons of
opposite spin
3Rules of Electron Etiquette
Hunds Rule electrons occupy degenerate
orbitals to the greatest extent possible and
with their spins parallel

5As the quantum energy levels increase...
...they tend to compress upon one another
6So if we consider the element calcium, here is
what happens
2p6
2s2
3s2
Ca1s2
3p6
4s2
We may then abbreviate the e-config as
CaAr4s2

17The Key to Why Reactions Occur is the 8A group
The Noble Gases
18Why do Reactions Occur?

Xe6s24f145d106p6
Outer valence shell is complete
Outer valence shell possesses 8 valence electrons
The Nobel gases have completed octets
Noble gases are stable elements
19Why do Reactions Occur?
Does not have a completed octet
Sodium would be more stable...
if it had a completed octet.
Soif sodium lost a valence electron...
Na1s22s22p63s1
it would have a completed octet
Na1s22s22p6
The sodium ion is now isoelectric to neon
20Why do Reactions Occur?
Does not have a completed octet
Chlorine would be more stable...
if it had a completed octet.
Soif chlorine gained a valence electron...
Cl 1s22s22p63s23p5
it would have a completed octet
Cl- 1s22s22p63s23p6
The Chloride ion is now isoelectric to neon
