Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the search-in-place domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Arrangement of Electrons in an Atom — Chemistry Keypoint

Arrangement of Electrons in an Atom

The arrangement of electrons in an atom is governed by two rules:

(1) Hund’s rule — It states that electrons filling an orbital will first exist singly before pairing.

(2) Pauli exclusion principle — It states that not more than two electrons will occupy an orbital and these two electrons must spin in opposite directions.

Example:

Modern Eletronic Configuration

Sub shells No. of orbital Maximum electrons 
S 1 2
P 3 6
D 5 10
F 7 14
ELEMENTS CONFIGURATION NO. OF ELECTRONS
Hydrogen 1S1 1
Helium 1S2 2
Lithium 1S2, 2S1 3
Beryllium 1S2, 2S2 4
Boron 1S2, 2S2, 2P1 5

note: d block elements are transition elements. 4 F are lanthanides while 5 F are actinide elements.

Atomic number is the number of Proton in the nucleus of an atom. Z represents it.

Mass number is the sum of Proton and neutron present in the nucleus of an atom. A represents it.
