This book has been prepared for high school chemistry courses by Zambak Publishing and in collaboration with Lumina Educational Institutions, it was rearranged and designed according to the national curriculum of Romania. Chemistry is an interesting and fundamental branch of science. It gives us the chance to explain the secrets of nature. What is water? What do we use in our cars as fuel? What is aspirin? What are perfumes made of? These kinds of questions and their answers are all part of the world of chemistry. Chemists work everyday to produce new compounds to make our lives easier with the help of this basic knowledge. All industries depend on chemical substances, including the petroleum, pharmaceutical, garment, aircraft, steel, electronics industries, etc. This textbook is intended to help everyone understand nature. However, However, one does not need to be a chemist or scientist to comprehend the s implicity within the complexity around us. The aim of our efforts was to write a modern, up-to-date textbook in which students and teachers could glean concise information about basic topics in chemistry. Throughout the textbook, different figures, colorful tables, important reactions, funny cartoons, interesting extras, and reading passages have been added to help explain ideas. We hope that after studying along with this book, you’ll find chemistry in every part of your life.

INTRODUCTION Chemistry simply can be defined as the study of matter and its changes. This definition shows that the science of chemistry encompasses all substances in our life! In fact, chemistry is life! In this chapter, we try to explain why chemistry is so important in our lives. At the end, you’ll see why chemistry is life. Chemistry is a branch of natural sciences, such as physics, biology and geography. As we hear the word science, we should remember that it is the collective knowledge accumulated throughout the world’s history. Although it’s a branch of the natural sciences, chemistry is unique!
Tree of natural sciences
Chemistry is unlike any other natural sciences because of one crucial difference; only chemistry is interrelated with all of the others. In other words, chemistry is related with all substances and objects. Chemistry is in everything! When we think about it, we can easily realize that there is nothing existing in our world that is not related to chemistry. 8
CHEMISTRY Ninth Grade
Chemistry is closely interweaved with all of the sciences.
1.1.
WHY CHEMISTRY?
Because, chemists always synthesize or discover new substances and help
technological developments. The modern residence you live in, the car your parents drive, the TV you watch, the Playstation you enjoy are all examples of the wonders achieved through the use of chemistry. Because, chemists produce all modern or traditional herbal drugs and medicine;
analyze blood, hormones, and urine; as well as diagnoze illnesses. This can only be possible through the use of chemistry. Because, potable purified water, all organic or GM (Genetically Modified) fruits
and vegetables are works of chemists. Because, if we look around us, chemistry is everywhere. The water you drink,
the air you breathe, the bread you eat, the CD you listen to or the clothes you wear, are all made out of chemicals! Now, you see why chemistry is all around us. Introduct�on to Chem�stry

CHEMISTRY IS LIFE
All toys, including dolls and models, can be produced with the knowledge of chemistry.
We can decorate, paint, protect and clean our houses thanks to chemistry.
This reading simply explains the importance of chemistry in our lives. You can see chemistry in every part of our life. For example, while preparing this textbook we used pencils, pens and papers. To type it, computers were used and printers to print its pages with different inks (paints); paper and printing machines were also utilized. All materials and machines used in the New polymers are making our life easier.
printing of this book are also the products of chemicals. In other words, they are produced with the help of different elements or/and compounds. All these are the subjects of chemistry. Yet another example, what if you were to become ill, how would your ailment be diagnozed?
Computer technology only thrives with the help of chemistry.
Long-term preservation of our packaged food is only made possible with chemicals. Chemistry even helps us with our clothing and footwear.

Without chemicals, our body, for example, and our nervous system couldn’t function.
Chemistry helps us in coloring our world.
Doctors may guess the disfunction (illness) you are suffering from. In other words, the apparent chemical change that occured in your organs (in the tissues or cells). If a doctor diagnoses your illness, he will probably advice some medicine (products of chemicals) or different remedies (all contain different compounds or chemicals).
No chemistry! No transportation!
You cannot escape from the scope of chemistry because we are living in a material world, or chemical world. Have you ever thought that we need chemicals everyday in every second to live? In fact, the air we breathe contains N2, O2, . . . all are chemicals. The water we drink many times a day is also a chemical. Salt, pepper, sugar, ice-cream, all fruits and all vegetables (all foods) are all composed of chemicals!
All the drugs are produced from chemicals.
Paper and pencils are all produced with chemical materials.
All patients need the products of chemistry in diagnoses or treatments.

1. 1. WHAT IS SCIENCE? As you remember, chemistry is a branch of science. To understand this better,
Science The word science comes from the Latin “scientia” which means know ledge.
let’s first see what science is. People observe their surroundings, other creatures and themselves to discover their nature and to find out their relationship among themselves. When they come face - to - face with problems, they use systematic methods to overcome the m. From ancient times until today, acquired knowledge has been collected on a regular basis. This accumulated knowledge is known simply as science. Throughout the world’s history, humankind’s knowledge has been continuously transmitted to newer generations. People shared this knowledge by writing, speaking and searching for the relations between the cause and effect of facts. As a result, we were able to reach conclusions. All of these activities, hypothethized carefully and tested systematically, are called scientific studies. Individuals who conduct scientific studies are called scientists.

Today’s generation is grateful for past and present scientific studies since their welfare has been enhanced. Chemistry, as we’ve seen, is an important branch of science. It’s certainly true that chemists who study the changes that occur in the structure of substances have a great contribution in the development of science and technology. The applications of scientific principles in the service of mankind is called technology . Although developments in industry and technology enhance the welfare of human beings, there are negative sides of scientific developments. Some gases cause air pollution, poisonous chemical wastes and their by-products cause cancer; all weapons and atomic bombs threaten the balance of mankind. At first glance, the branches of scientific studies seem to be boring due to groups of formulas, theories and definitions. But, actually, science reflects the attractive sides of the universe and informs us what is happening in our their surroundings.
Steps of Scientific Study All scientific studies should be carried out in certain steps. 1. Observation
Observation, which is the first step of scientific study, is the collection of information gathered from the use of our senses. A subject can be observed through touch, taste, hearing, or smell. During observations, better results can be obtained by using instruments that increase the sensitivity of our senses. We must always keep in mind that the observation process is not right or wrong. 2. Hypothesis and (Research for Reasons of Regularities)
Hypothesis is the explanation of an occurence or a problem by using the knowledge obtained from previous observations. All hypotheses may not always be true. For this reason, the following steps should be applied one by one to prove a hypothesis. 3. Experiment
The collection of actions and observations performed to verify or falsify a hypothesis or research. Experiments are generally performed in laboratories. 4. Sharing Results
An observation in a lake
The definition of science, as we mentioned before, is the accumulated knowledge that has been formed through centuries. If we share that knowledge with others, we cannot continuously start from the beginning of our scientific studies. Today, telecommunication technologies have changed the world into a global village; hence, news can now be spread throughout the world in a matter of seconds through the use of the Internet. Similarly, scientific and technological development can easily be propagated through the means of books, scientific journals and the Internet. In a science class

A SHORT HISTORY OF CHEMISTRY
The word chemistry officially comes from the old French alkemia , but has an even older root stemming from the Arabic origin of al-kimia , which means the art of transformation. We can trace the beginning of chemistry to ancient times. The first chemists were mainly concerned with pottery, metallurgy, dyes, and food. We can retrace the earliest chemical principle to 3500 B.C. in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Chemistry’s beginning, or alchemy, as it was then known, was equal to performing
magic or having superpowers. Alchemy was the practice of combining elements
medicine.
of chemistry, physics, religion, mysticism, astrology, art, signs, metallurgy, and
The most famous interests of alchemists were the transmutation of metals to gold, and the search for Ab-u hayat , or the elixir of life to produce immortality.
Greek thinkers believed that there were just four states of matter; water, fire, earth, and air (in some sources, the fifth was the cosmos).
In the Middle Ages, Muslim scientists Jabir bin Hayyan - the first to use lab equipment - was known as Geber, or the Father of Chemistry in Europe; and Abu Bakr-Al-Razi (865-925); both greatly contributed in chemistry’s early beginnings.
Jabir bin Hayyan (721 - 815) He is known as the Father of Chemistry. 14

Latin translations of these two Muslim scientists’ discoveries helped build the fundamentals of chemistry. Six centuries later, European scientists Robert Boyle and Antoine Lavoisier - regarded as the Fathers of Modern Chemistry - built the basis for what we know today as modern chemistry

Even laboratories have been altered dramatically through history.
In the 21 st century, chemistry has become the largest collection of knowledge (science) because of its many sub - branches. Today, the world’s largest and most

1. 2. THE EXPERIMENTAL WORLD OF CHEMISTRY The word experiment comes from Latin experiri or experimentum, which means attempt. In the scientific method, experiments are the processes from which all empirical knowledge is born.
1. 2. 1. CHEMISTRY IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE In chemistry, chemists always need experiments to research cause/effect relationships between phenomena. Like other scientists, such as physicists, biologists, and many others, chemists must follow four systematic steps while experimenting:
1. Setting up the experimental equipment and procedures 2. Conducting the experiment 3. Recording data 4. Analyzing results, reaching a conclusion and sharing results Through the use of experiments, chemists understand the properties and changes which occur in matter and the various reactions between different substances.
1. 2. 2. WORKING IN A CHEMISTRY LABORATORY Experiments should be performed in laboratories. A laboratory, often simply
Lab. = Laboratory
called a lab, is a specially designed environment to conduct experiments or scientific research. While performing chemistry experiments in school labs, chemicals, water, fire, and glassware should be handled carefully. Although laboratories are not playgrounds, they can be very enjoyable places. But, safety always comes first; sometimes small unexpected accidents may cause serious injuries. Therefore, students, teachers, and lab technicians should always use utmost caution in a lab environment.
Ensuring A Safe Laboratory In a chemistry lab, these must be available:
16
CHEMISTRY Ninth Grade
a. Fire extinguisher
b. Fire blanket
c. Safety shower
d. Eyewash station
e. First aid kit
f. Container for sharp objects
g. Air conditioner
h. Telephone
To ensure that your school lab is a safe place, here are some basic safety rules about laboratory equipment and hazard warning symbols. Safety Rules Students must always obey the following safety rules in a school lab: 1. Always listen carefully to all instructions given by your chemistry teacher or lab technician before any experiment. 2.
Learn all the safety rules necessary for your experiment.
3. Always wear a lab jacket (apron) and safety goggles (glasses). 4.
Read all necessary information about the experiments.
5. Wear gloves when using heat, chemicals and glassware in experiments. 6.
Do not throw any chemicals.
7.
Do not touch chemicals with your fingers.
8.
Tie long hair.
9.
Do not horse around in a lab.
10. Quickly report all accidents to your teacher. 11. Do not eat, drink, smell or taste any chemical.
Safety always comes first in a lab Introduction to Chemistry

Hazard Warning Symbols Many chemicals are hazardous. Therefore, hazard warning symbols are placed on containers of harmful chemicals and on laboratory walls to explain and inform of possible dangers.
Explosive
Toxic
Harmful
Oxidizing
HAZARD Corrosive
Eye Protection
Irritant
Radioactive
Shock
Flammable
Hazard labels or warning symbols can be found in a lab, but they also can be seen in many other venues in life, such as on r oadsides...

2. MATTER In chemistry, matter is simply everything; every physical body or substance. Matter has mass and o ccupies volume. Matter = Substance(s)
If you remember, we defined chemistry as the study of matter and its changes in the previous chapter. Look at the picture given below, the mountains, rocks, trees, and lakes pictured are all composed of thousands of substances.
In the physical world, everything can be accepted as matter.
2. 1. STATES OF MATTER In this chapter we will stud y the states of matter, its classification and properties. In addition to these, we will see how different substances can be separated.

2. 1. 1. SOLID STATE Solid substances have a definite volume and shape. The particles (atoms or molecules) in solids are very close to each other - there is a minute amount of space between atoms or molecules. Solids can be picked up and carried around without a special container.
All pencils and their containers are solid and have a certain shape.
Various solids have different shapes.
2. 1. 2. LIQUID STATE Liquids have definite volume, but no d efinite shape. Liquids can flow, be poured, and take the shape of their container. The particles in liquids are more loosely contained than those of solids. Hence, that’s how liquids can flow.
Liquids take the shape of their containers.

2. 1. 3. GASEOUS STATE Gases have no definite volume and n o definite shape. A gas takes the shape and fills the volume of any container in which it is placed. Gas particles are apart from each other so they can move freely.
Although many gases are colorless, some of them are tinted. For example,
Gases will spread out if they are not in a container. Most gases are colorless, and, therefore, cannot be seen.

All symbols for elements are placed on a special table called the periodic table.
He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn are named Noble gases.These are unreactive and very stable elements (Table 1).
The symbols for elements can have up to two letters in Latin. The first letter is always capitalized and the second must be lower - cased. For example, H : Hydrogen and Al : Aluminum Table 1: The Periodic Table of Elements is the most popular table in chemistry

3. ATOM For ages, humankind has been interested about the structure of substances. For centuries, thinkers, philosophers, alchemists, and scientists have all tried to discover the most fundamental unit of matter. How is matter made up? What are its fundamental substances? How are its structures? In the past, the answers to these questions were not easy to formulate. Let’s try a simple exercise in order to better understand just how hard this must have been: Take a square piece of paper with dimensions of 5 cm . 5 cm. First, tear the paper in half, then take one of the halves and tear again. Continue this process up to 10 times (Figure 1). Hopefully, you were able to do so.
Figure 1: How small the atom is!
If you do this 50 times, how small will that piece of paper become (probably you cannot achieve this)? How can you call this smallest part of paper? For the last 200 years, scientists have accepted that the smallest parts of substances are called atoms. An atom is a world, according to some scientist, and it works with a mechanism that is not completely understood. But this much is known, an atom has basically two parts: A nucleus (central part) and electrons (very fast moving particles) around this center.
STM Q. Is it possible to see an atom? A. No. But, Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) gives us the chance to study and view individual atoms on the surface of materials. STM was invented in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer in Switzerland. These scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1986). A STM 28

3. 1. STRUCTURE OF ATOM Atom is a term that originates from the Greek word atomos, which means indivisible. Atoms are accepted as indivisible because of their minute size. When we discuss atomic size, we use nanometers (0.000000001m scale). For example,
1 nanometer (nm) = One billionth of a meter
the diameter of an atom ranges from about 0.1 to 0.5 nanometer (Figure 2).
Nanotechnology is the design, study

using
the
nanometer scale. This word was first used (defined) in 1974 by Japanese scientist Prof. Norio Taniguchi at Tokyo Science University. Figure 2: Atomic diameter ranges from about 0.1 to 0.5 nm.
An atom is made up of two main parts, the nucleus and electrons.
History of The Atom It’s impossible to weigh or isolate a single atom. We know that the atom is so tiny that we cannot feel it by using our senses. Therefore, the development of atomic theories have been based on indirect methods. At the beginning of the 19 th century, the existence of atoms had been a point of contention. Erstwhile, Muslim scientist Jabir Bin Hayyan (721-815) had discovered that an individual atom could be split to release a huge amount of energy. John Dalton (1766-1844) presented the first scientific proof of the existence of the atom based upon his experimental study. At the start of the 20 th century, the theories and empirical studies conducted by Thomson, Rutherford, Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Shrodinger... that delved into atom’s structure greatly impacted today’s progress.

3. 2. SUBATOMIC PARTICLES Up to the 20th century, atoms were accepted as indivisible (it cannot be divided into small parts). Today, we know otherwise. Atomic radius of the hydrogen (H) atom is 37 picometer (37 . 10–12m)!
During the last century, nuclear reactions showed us how an atom’s division is possible. With the help of nuclear reactions, an atom’s nucleus can be divided into parts to produce huge amounts of energy. Now let’s answer the next question: What are the subatomic particles of an atom? The shape of an atom is assumed to be a simple sphere, but it actually might be an empty sphere (Figure 3).
Figure 3: A representation of an atom
In chemistry, the term nucleus (plural

protons and neutrons. Electrons are also found in an atom, but they move so

The lightest basic particle
of an atom, which has a mass of approximately
1/2000 amu, is the electron. For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. Electrons rotate at a great speed at specific, fixed energy levels (shells) around the nucleus. The first shell is th e nearest to the nucleus, and is called the “K” shell. The second shell is known as “L”, the third is “M” ... etc. Each shell has a certain capacity of electrons, and this capacity is defined by the equation of 2n 2. Here, n shows the number of shells. If an atom only has one shell, it can have up to 2 electrons. An atom’s electrons in its outermost shell are called valence electrons. Thus, the first energy le vel (K) can occupy a ma ximum of 2 electrons, the second energy le vel (L) can ha ve a ma ximum capacity of 8 electrons, and so on. The ma ximum number of electrons found in each shell can be summarized as such:

There are some basic terms about the atom in chemistry. In order to study the calculations of the atom, these terms should be understood. 3. 3. 1. ATOMIC NUMBER (Z)
The number of protons in an atom is called atomic number and is represented by Z . Atomic number = Number of protons Each type of atom posesses a different atomic number that specifies its amount of protons. For example, a calcium atom has 20 protons; its atomic number
Each car has a different licence plate number

the atomic number, the number of protons and the number
of electrons are equal. Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons Z = p = e– 3. 3. 2.

ISOTOPES
All of the atoms’ nuclei of an element have the same number of protons, but their number of neutrons may be different. For example, there are three types of hydrogen atoms (Figure 5), and they differ only in their number of neutrons.
Figure 5: Types of hydrogen atoms
Isotopes can be defined as atoms that have the same number of protons but a
different number of neutrons (Table 3).
Isotopes are similar to human beings in the world.
Since the number of p rotons and electrons of an isotope are equal, isotopes have similar chemical properties but different physical properties.

INTRODUCTION The modern periodic table appeared as a function of the physical and chemical properties of elements. When the elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers, there is a periodic repetition in the properties of these elements. A simple periodic table contains the symbols, atomic numbers and the relati ve atomic masses of the elements. Additionally, detailed periodic tables containing some physical and chemical properties (such as melting point, boiling point, oxidation state) are also made. Each horizontal row in the periodic table is called a period. There are seven periods in the modern periodic table and each period begins with a metal and ends with a noble gas. However, the first element of the first period (hydrogen) is not a metal. AdditiPeriod

onally, the noble gas of the se venth period has not been disco vered yet. Each vertical column in the periodic table is called a group. Since the chemical and physical properties of the elements in a group are similar, they are sometimes also called a family . There are a total of eighteen groups in the periodic table of which eight are A groups and eight are B groups. The group 8B contains three columns. A groups are called main groups (representati ve group) and B groups are called transition metals.
1. THE PERIODIC TABLE AND ELECTRON CONFIGURATION The physical and chemical properties of the elements are directly related to their electron configurations. For example, chemical properties such as gaining, gi ving and sharing of electrons are dependent on the valence electrons and nucleus structure. As a result, chemical beha viors of the elements are closely related to the nucleus structure and electron configuration of the element. Elements in the same period contain different numbers of electrons in the valence shells.
Electron configurations of the elements in the second period
For this reason, elements in the same period ha ve different physical and chemical properties. The valence electron configurations of the elements in the same group are the The elect ron confi gu rations of the ele ments in group 1A end with s 1 and the ele ments in group 2A end with s2. 42

same. Therefore, elements in the same group show similar chemical beha viors in a chemical reaction, but their physical properties may gradually change.

1. 1. GROUPS The periodic table contains the elements of the groups A and groups B. Among the elements of the groups A, group 1A and 2A elements belong to the s–block and group 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A and 8A elements belong to the p–block. The elements of the groups B belong to the d–block (transition metals) and f–block (inner transition metals). In the periodic table, each A group has a special name.

Now let’s examine the properties of some groups in the periodic table. Group 1A : Alkali Metals (ns1) This group contains the elements hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). Although hydrogen is a non-metal, it is placed in this group because of its electron configuration, 1s1. Alkali metals are chemically the most acti ve metals. They ha ve only one electron in their valence orbitals and their electron configuration ends with ns1. They become positive one charged ions easily by gi ving off this valence electron in chemical reactions. In nature, the hydrogen molecule occurs in a diatomic structure (H2). It is in a gaseous state at room temperature. Hydrogen, whose characteristics are predominantly non-metallic, has a negative one charge in some compounds. All other members of this group, ha ving the typical metallic characteristics, are solid at room temperature. Francium is only radioactive element in this group. Group 2A : Alkaline Earth Metals (ns2) Alkali metals (group 1A) and alkaline earth metals (group 2A)
This group contains the elements beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra). After the alkali metals, they are the second most acti ve metals. Their electron configurations end with ns2. They become positive two charged ions by gi ving of their two valence electrons in chemical reactions. At room temperature, they occur in a monoatomic structure and they are solid at room temperature. Radium, a solid element, is the only radioactive member of this group. Group 7A: Halogens (ns2 np5) This group contains the elements fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and astatine (At). These elements occur naturally in a diatomic structure (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, At2). Fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid and iodine is a solid. Astatine is a radioactive and solid element. Halogens are the most acti ve nonmetals. Therefore, they become negative one charged ions by gaining an electron to complete their valence shell in the chemical reactions. Group 8A: Noble Gases (ns2np6) This group contains the elements helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). Their electron configurations end with ns2np6,
Halogens (group 7A) and noble gases (group 8A)
except helium, which ends with ns 2. Since their valence shells are full, they ha ve no chemical acti vity and they are called noble gases or inert gases. They are the most stable elements in nature. Therefore, all other elements try to make their electron configurations similar to noble gases; either by gaining or losing electrons electrons. They occur in a monoatomic structure as colorless gases with lo w freezing points at room temperature.

1. 2. ELECTRON CONFIGURATION Rules of Electron Distribution Pauli’s Principle The electron of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is located in the nearest orbital to the nucleus. But, what about the electron distribution of the atoms with more than one electron? Ans wering this question in 1925, Wolfgang Pauli stated his exclusion principle thus: ‘In the same atom, two electrons may not ha ve identical sets of all quantum numbers.’ According to this principle, the quantum numbers, n, l, ml, and ms, can ne ver be identical for two electrons in an atom. This means that at least one of the quantum numbers must be different. For example, even if two electrons ha ve identical values for n, l and m l (as a result of being in the same orbital), their magnetic spin quantum numbers must be different. That is, these electrons are said to ha ve opposing spins. In fact, we ha ve already mentioned that each electron may be described by a set of the four quantum numbers; – n shows the shell and the relati ve average distance of the electron from the nucleus – l shows the subshell and the shape of the orbital for the electron – ml represents the orientation of the orbital in spaces
Wolf gang Pauli (1900 – 1958) Pauli, an Austri an physicist, is best known for his exclu sion principle regarding the distri bution of electrons among the atomic or bitals, for which he was awarded the 1945 No bel Physics Pri ze. In his exclu sion principle, Pauli says that no two electrons in the same atom may have identical sets of all four quan tum num bers.
– ms refers to the spin of the electron. The Aufbau Principle The Aufbau principle basically states that the lowest energy orbitals are filled first. 1s orbital has the lowest energy, so it is first to be filled, followed, in order, by 2s, 2p, 3s... This ordering was first stated by Wolfgang Pauli and is called the Aufbau principle (aufbau means ‘building up’ in German).
Ground state: The state in which all the electrons in an atom are in the lowest energy levels available. For example, 2 2 6 2 12 Mg: 1s 2s 2p 3s
Hund’s Rule Different orbitals with identical energy (those in the same subshell) are known as
to be as far as possible from each other. Thus, Hund’s rule states that the
Excited state electron configuration: When an atom has absorbed energy, its electrons may move to higher state energy levels. For example, 12 Mg: 1s 2
electrons are distributed among the orbitals of a subshell of the same energy in
2s 2 2p6 3s1 3p1
equal energetic orbitals. For example the orbitals of p subshell p x , p y and pz are of identical energy. Since all electrons carry the same electrical char ge, they tend
a way that gi ves the ma ximum number of unpaired electrons with parallel spin. The term ‘parallel spin’ means that all the unpaired elect rons spin in the same direction, and all of the m s values of these electrons ha ve the same sign. In some cases, at higher quantum le vels, since the energies of some subshells

are very close to each other, there may not be any coherence bet ween the order of filling the orbitals and the order of increasing the energies of the orbitals. For Periodic Table

example, the 4s orbital has a lo wer energy than that of a 3d orbital. That is, the 4s orbital is filled before the 3d orbital. The order of filling of orbitals is deri ved as a result of experiments in spectroscopy and magnetism. The order of filling electrons in atomic orbitals, with a few exceptions, is roughly as follows. 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d10, 4p6, 5s2, 4d10, 5p6, 6s2, 4f 14, 5d10, 6p6, 7s2, 5f 14, 6d10, 7p6 In order to remember and deri ve this order easily, the method illustrated by the table below left is very useful. When following the arrows from top to bottom, the order gi ven abo ve is obtained.
Representation of Electron Configuration The electron configuration of an atom can be represented by either electronic notation (s, p, d, f) or by orbital diagram.
For instance, the electron configuration of the silicon, Si, atoms for which the

atomic number is 14 (that is, the number of electrons is 14) is gi ven below. Si: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 Orbital diagram notation :

In the orbital diagram notation, each subshell is divided into indi vidual orbitals drawn as bo xes. An arrow pointing up ward corresponds to one type of spin (+1/2) and an arrow pointing down corresponds to the opposite spin (–1/2). Elect rons in the same orbital with opposed spins are said to be paired, such as the electrons in the 1s and 2s orbitals. These orbitals are completely filled orbitals. On the other hand, since electrons are placed one by one in a subshell with parallel spins, the corresponding arrows are drawn in the sa me direction, such as in the 3p electrons of the silicon atom. Such orbitals are half–filled orbitals.
