Arrangement of
Electrons in Atoms
Electrons in atoms are arranged as
SHELLS (n)
SUBSHELLS (l)
ORBITALS (ml)

Arrangement of
Electrons in Atoms
Each orbital can be assigned no
more than 2 electrons!
This is tied to the existence of a 4th
quantum number, the electron
spin quantum number, ms.

reactions?
Why does Mg form Mg2+
ions and not Mg3+?
Why do nonmetals take

Trends in Ionization Energy
Electron Affinity
A few elements GAIN electrons to
form anions.
Electron affinity is the energy
change when an electron is added:
EA = - 141 kJ
38
EA = 0 kJ
39
Atom EA
• Affinity for electron
increases across a F -328 kJ
period (EA becomes Cl -349 kJ
more negative). Br -325 kJ
• Affinity decreases down I -295 kJ
a group (EA becomes
less negative).
