Electron Arrangement in Atoms
If this rock were to tumble over,
it would end up at a lower
height. It would have less
energy than before, but its
position would be more stable.
You will learn that energy and
stability play an important role
in determining how electrons
are configured in an atom.

Electron Configurations
The ways in which electrons are arranged in
various orbitals around the nuclei of atoms are
called electron configurations.
Three rules—the aufbau principle, the
Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s
rule—tell you how to find the electron
configurations of atoms.

Aufbau Principle
According to the aufbau principle, electrons
occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first. In the
aufbau diagram below, each box represents an
atomic orbital.

Pauli Exclusion Principle
According to the Pauli exclusion principle, an
atomic orbital may describe at most two
electrons. To occupy the same orbital, two
electrons must have opposite spins; that is, the
electron spins must be paired.

Hund’s Rule
Hund’s rule states that electrons occupy orbitals
of the same energy in a way that makes the
number of electrons with the same spin direction
as large as possible.

Exceptional Electron Configurations
Why do actual electron configurations
for some elements differ from those
assigned using the aufbau principle?

Exceptional Electron Configurations
Some actual electron configurations
differ from those assigned using the
aufbau principle because half-filled
sublevels are not as stable as filled
sublevels, but they are more stable than
other configurations.

Exceptional Electron Configurations
Exceptions to the aufbau
principle are due to subtle
electron-electron
interactions in orbitals with
very similar energies.
Copper has an electron
configuration that is an
exception to the aufbau
principle.
