Quantum Mechanical Model
• Quantum mechanics was developed by
Erwin Schrodinger
• Estimates the probability of finding an e- in a
certain position
• Electrons are found in an “electron cloud” or
orbital
Orbital (“electron cloud”)
– Region in space where there is 90% probability
of finding an e-

Hog Hilton
You are the manager of a prestigious new hotel in downtown
Midland—the “Hog Hilton”. It’s just the “snort of the town”
and you want to keep its reputation a cut above all the
other hotels. Your problem is your clientele. They are hogs
in the truest sense.
Your major task is to fill rooms in your hotel. The Hog Hilton
only has stairs. You must fill up your hotel keeping the
following rules in mind:
1) Hogs are lazy, they don’t want to walk up stairs!
2) Hogs want to room by themselves, but they would
rather
room with another hog than walk up more stairs.
3) If hogs are in the same room they will face in opposite
directions.
4) They stink, so you can’t put more than two hogs in each
room.

Let’s play Hog Hilton!!
Now you will relate the “Hog Hilton” to electron orbitals. Electron
orbitals are modeled by the picture on the left and are grouped into
principal energy levels.
1. Compare their similarities and differences.
2. To go between floors on the Hog Hilton did the hogs need to use
energy? Would electrons need to use the energy to go between
orbitals?

A. Rules for e- configurations
1. Aufbau principle: electrons fill the
lowest energy orbitals first.
(Hogs are lazy, they don’t want to walk up
stairs!)
A. Rules for e- configurations
2. Pauli Exclusion principle: each orbital
can hold TWO electrons with
opposite spins
(They stink, so you can’t put more
than two hogs in each room. & If
hogs are in the same room they will
face in opposite directions.)
A. Rules for e- configurations
3. Hund’s rule: within a sublevel, place one
e- per orbital before pairing them.
(Hogs want to room by themselves, but they
would rather room with another hog than walk
up more stairs.)

atom

– Size of the orbital

A. Oxidation States
• Valence electrons – the outer electrons in
an atom that are involved in chemical
bonding
• Octet Rule - when forming compounds
atoms want to have 8 e- (s2p6) like the
noble gases (except He)
A. Oxidation States
• A “+” means lose electrons
• A “–” means gains electrons
• Determine the element’s behavior in the
company of other elements
• Some elements only have one oxidation
state, others have several
• The transition metals generally have
several oxidation states
B. Justifying Oxidation States
• Metals lose e- to either minimize e- to e- repulsions
or eliminative their valence e- entirely
• Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to acquire an
octet of electrons
– (8 valence e- arranged as ns2np6 where n = principle
energy level)
– Noble gases have octet naturally
• Transition metals have oxidation state of +2 since
they lose the s2 that was filled just before the dsublevel began filling
• 3d e- are similar in energy to 4s e- & 4d are similar
to 5s, etc.
B. Justifying Oxidation States
Example 1:
Sulfur have many oxidation states. Use an
orbital notation to justify its most common
-2 oxidation state:
[Ne]
↑↓ 3p ___
↑↓ ↑___ ___
↑
3s ___
Sulfur is a nonmetal and tends to gain ecreating the -2 charge. Gaining 2 e- gives
it an octet of 3s23p6.
B. Justifying Oxidation States
Example 2:
Copper has two common oxidation states, +2 and +1.
Justify both oxidation states:
Cu has an ending e- conf. of 4s23d9. Start by drawing its
orbital notation of the outermost, valence electrons.

Since Cu is a transition metal, the +2 oxidation state
come from losing the 4s e-s leaving 4s03d9.
The +1 oxidation state for Cu come from transferring one
of the s e-s to the d orbitals to fill that sublevel and
then losing the remaining s e- to form 4s03d10.
