What’s Happening?
When light enters the tube though the slit it spreads out – all waves do this when passing through
small slits. The Diffraction grading separates colors visible to your eye. You see a nice, even
spectrum from daylight sources because daylight is made up of all the colors of visible light from the
Sun. Once you can see this pattern use your spectroscope to look at the light emitted by the light
bulbs in your classroom compare them with the following line spectrums of three different elements.
Now lets use the answers to the previous questions to develop the following table

Now lets analyze our results by answering the following:
How many Orbitals do you have in sublevel 0(s), since each orbital can only have
maximum 2 electrons how many electrons can you have maximum in sublevel 0(s), and what
type rotation do these follow?
How many Orbitals do you have in sublevel 0(s), since each orbital can only have
maximum 2 electrons how many electrons can you have maximum in sublevel 0(s), and what
type rotation do these follow?
How many Orbitals do you have in sublevel 1(P), since each orbital can only have
maximum 2 electrons how many electrons can you have maximum in sublevel 1(P)
and what type rotation do these follow?
Now you develop the whole table above from n=3 to n=7

If you can only have 2 electrons maximum per orbital, how many electrons can you have maximum
in each sublevel? Example if sublevel 0(s) has only one orbital with 2 electrons then the 1st sublevel
con only have 2 electrons maximum, this can be represented as S2
Where S is the sublevel and 2 is the maximum number of electrons (because there is only 1 orbital
with maximum 2 electrons in that sublevel)
How many electrons would sublevel P have maximum? Hint look at the number of orbitals it has
Check your original table and establish the number of orbitals in each energy layer and fill in
the table below:

What you have just made is the summary table of the quantum mechanic theory, this table was later
complemented by Pauli’s exclusion principal, Aufbau rule, Hund’s rule,
converting it into what we know now as the electron configuration table. Investigate the definitions of
these rules (use this video) and use each of them to finish the electron configuration table below.

Electron configuration and Periodic Table
The Electron Configuration table is a summarized format of the quantum mechanic theory
that is used to determine the distributions of electrons by energy layer and orbitals permitting
us to establish the number of electrons in the last energy level of each element and with it
the location of the elements within the periodic table and their possible chemical behavior
when chemically combining.
The periodic Table is a summarized format that contains the main chemical characteristics
of the known elements and whose actual format is mainly considered to have been
contributed by Henry Moseley that proposed a truly scientific basis of the Periodic Table of
the Elements by sorting chemical elements in the order of their atomic numbers and by
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev that formulated the Periodic Law, creating his own version of the
periodic table of elements, and used it to correct the properties of some already discovered
elements and also to predict the properties of eight elements that were yet to be discovered.
In today’s class activity we are going to use the following interactive as a means of
developing your own periodic table, before you begin you must consult the following
concepts:
Period: A horizontal row of elements, that have the same number of energy levels.
Group: a vertical row of elements, tht have the same amount of elements in their last energy
level.
Octet Rule: a rule that reflects that the combination of elements can only have 8 electrons
maximum in the last layer of the atom.
What pattern behavior can you observe when looking down a group?
Remember that atoms combine to make 8 electrons (become stable) in their last energy
level so if the elements say in group I have only 1 electron in their last energy layer (valence
shell) what would be easier, to loose that only electron or to receive 7 electrons? It would be
to loose that electron and because atoms have the same number of protons and electrons
when loosing that electron they end up having one more proton than the electrons thus
acquiring a +1 charge, if this pattern were the same for the rest of the groups we are working
with today, Add the charges to the rest of the groups, please fill that information on the
top section in your periodic table, besides add their symbol, atomic numbers and
atomic masses.
Family: a group of element that are located in the same vertical line.
Alkali metal: group 1: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.
Alkaline earth metal: group 2: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and
radium.
Boron family: group 13: boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium.
Carbon Family: group 14: carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead
Oxygen family: group 16: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.
Halogen family: group 17: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
Noble gas family: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
Metals: they are all in solid state, except for mercury which is in a liquid state., good
conductors of electricity and heat.
Metalloids: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and astatine. Regular
conductors of electricity.
Periodic law
Locate each family in your periodic table and assign a color to their squares and a
distinctive color to their symbols according to their state of matter in which they are
found at normal room temperature (25oC).
Transition elements: any of the set of metallic elements in the enter block.
Inner transition elements: a group of chemical elements that are normally shown 2 rows
below the other elements.
1. Lanthanides: any of the series of fifteen metallic elements from lanthanum to lutetium
in the periodic table.
Now use your interactive to develop the electron configurations for the following
atomic numbers
Notice that these are transition elements so to assign them a group and a period their
electron configuration must be read differently here you must consider the last two electron
configuration values, say you have SC21 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d1 you would consider the one
2 1
before last numerical value 4s2 to assign the period and the added values 4s 3d of the
last two amounts of electrons to assign the B group in this case 3. Do the same with atomic
numbers 22-48 of the transition elements. Add their symbol, atomic numbers and atomic
masses. Locate them in your periodic table and assign a color to their squares and a
distinctive color to their symbols according to their state of matter in which they are
found at normal room temperature (25oC).
In todays class activity we are going to analyze what a chemical bond is and the
different types of chemical bonds while referring to the periodic trend called
electronegativity and how it helps determine the type of chemical bond, to do this you
must consult the following concepts:
Chemical bond: the chemical union if electrons within the last energy level of 2 or
more atoms.
Ionic bond: when an atom looses electrons (cation) and another one gains it (anion),
they attract because they have opposite charges.
Covalent bond: 2 or more atoms share electrons from the last energy level.
Electronegativity: the force with which an atom pulls on the electron its sharing with
another atom.
Metallic bond: the chemical union between atoms of the same metal.
Use the following link Chemical Bonds to help you determine the types of chemical
bonds for the following list of compounds:
Combine the following list of cations and anions using the valences from your
periodic table
Polar Polar
Polar Covalent Covalent Covalent
Bond Bond Bond
Use the electronegative values of each of these elements to find the electronegative
difference between them as follows:
2.1 3 = .9
HCl
You subtract the minor electronegative value from the major electronegative value
like 2.1 from 3 to obtain the electronegative difference of .9, then look at the following
table and find in what category the value falls in, as follows:
Since your electronegative difference was of .9 you check that value in the table
above where you can see that it falls in the reading between .5 and 2.0 so its bond is
classified as polar covalent. Now do the same with the rest of the compounds you
obtained to determine if they are held together by Ionic Bonds or covalent bonds.
Periodic Trends
In todays class activity we are going to analyze periodic tables to establish pattern
behaviors of elements depending on their location within the periodic table to do this
you must consult the following concepts:
Atomic radius: the distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost electron.
Ionization potential: the force needed to pull an electron from its last energy level.
Electronegativity: the force used by an atom to pull an electron from sharing with
another atom.
Electron affinity: the facility with which an atom receives additional number of
electrons in its last energy level.
Use the following link Periodic Trends to establish the pattern behavior of each of the
periodic trends, and add the resulting information to your periodic tables.
Note: These are general periodic trends of elements. There are many exceptions to these general rules.
