SHELLS (n)
SUBSHELLS ()
Each orbital can be assigned
ORBITALS (m) up to 2 electrons!
n (shell) 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
(subshell) 0, 1, 2, ... n - 1
m (orbital) - ... 0 ... +
ms (electron spin) +1/2, -1/2

• In many-electron atom:
a) subshells increase in energy
as value of (n + )
increases.
b) for subshells of same (n +), (n + )=
subshell with lower n is 5
lower in energy. (n + )= 4

Alkalis Alkaline Earths
6 Oct 1997 Chemical Periodicity 24
Metals (ns2) - easily oxidized to M2+ Alkaline Earths
- less reactive than alkalis of same period
reactivity: Be < Mg < Ca < Sr < Ba
WHY? - • Size INCREASES as group
• VALENCE e- are farther from nucleus
• same Z* - Valence e- less tightly held
• Therefore valence e- are easier to remove
Typical reactions / compounds
Oxides: M +1/2O2 (g) MO (s) CaO (lime) - #5 Ind. Chem
Halides: M + X2 (g) MX
Carbonates: CaCO3 (limestone) CaO + CO2
