Study Notes
Electron Spin in Multi-Electron Atoms
- The Pauli Exclusion Principle specifies that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, leading to unique spins for electrons in multi-electron atoms.
Electron Distribution and Element Behavior
- The behavior of an element is determined by the distribution of electrons in its energy levels and sublevels, influenced by the Aufbau Principle, Hund's Rule, and the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
Energy Level Splitting
- In atoms with more than one electron, the presence of electron-electron repulsions causes energy levels to split into sublevels of differing energies, resulting in electron configurations unique to each element.
Periodic Table Group Arrangement
- Vertical groups in the periodic table reflect similar outer electron configurations due to the elements sharing the same number of valence electrons, leading to analogous chemical properties and reactivities.
Trends in the Periodic Table
- Atomic size generally decreases across a period and increases down a group.
- Ionization energy tends to increase across a period and decrease down a group.
- Electron affinity typically becomes more negative across a period, indicating a stronger attraction for additional electrons, while trends are less consistent down a group.
