Lesson 11 – Orbital
Representations
Book Section: 6.4-6.9
Orbital Diagrams
Each box in the
diagram represents
one orbital.
Half-arrows represent
the electrons.
The direction of the
arrow represents the
relative spin of the
electron.
Hund’s Rule
For degenerate orbitals,
the lowest energy is
attained when the number
of electrons with the same
spin is maximized.
Make all degenerate
orbitals half-filled before
adding the opposite spin
electrons.
Half-filled subshells (p3,
d5), are especially stable.
Magnetism
Magnetism results from unpaired electrons in the
ground state.
When there are multiple unpaired electrons (like
in iron), this results in a ferromagnet, or
permanent magnet, or a paramagnet, or
temporary magnet.
