Atomic Structure Ppt-1
Atomic Structure Ppt-1
RULE 2
Only two electrons can occupy an orbital, and they must
be of opposite spin. (Electrons act in some ways as if they
were spinning on an axis, somewhat as the earth spins.
This spin can have two orientations, denoted as up↑ and
down↓)
RULE 3
If two or more empty orbitals of equal energy are
available, one electron occupies each with the spins
parallel until all orbitals are half-full.

H 1 1s1
He 2 1s2
C 6 1s2 2s2 2p2

LEWIS DOT STRUCTURE
Gilbert N. Lewis
Valence shell is the outermost electron shell
of an atom
Valence electrons are used to form chemical
bonds and in chemical reactions.
Number of orbital
1 3 5 7
Spectroscopic Notation
s p d f
4. Magnetic Spin Quantum Number, m s
It indicates the spin of the electron
m s =+1/2 m s = -1/2
CHEMICAL BONDS
Bonding is the joining of two atoms in a
stable arrangement.
But this description is still not adequate. Carbon would form two
different types of bonds: three with 2p orbitals and one with a
2s orbital.
Shape and Orientation of sp3 Hybrid Orbitals
The mixing of a spherical 2s orbital and three
dumbbell shaped 2p orbitals together produces
four hybrid orbitals, each having one large lobe
and one small lobe
The four hybrid orbitals are oriented towards
the corners of a tetrahedron, and form four
equivalent bonds
