The Way the Electrons
are
Distributed Around the Nucleus of an Atom
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION IN SINGLE ATOM
Electrons exist in a number of cloud-like
shell or energy levels ,one inside the
other
• The first innermost shell (n=1) ,K shell, is only
small can hold one or two electrons .
• The second energy level (n=2) is called the
L Shell.
• The third energy level, M shell corresponds to
n=3.
• The fourth energy level, the N shell ,corresponds
to n=4 and so on.
Energy Levels and their Capacity of
Electrons
The maximum number of electrons in
each shell = 2n2
No. of shell Name of shell Max. no. of electrons
n = 1 K 2 x 12
= 2
n = 2 L 2 x 22
= 8
n =3 M 2 x 32
= 18
n = 4 N 2 x 42
= 32
(where n = number of shell)
Arrangement of Electrons in Energy
Levels
• Electrons are concentrated in certain region of
space, called orbital.
• Each shell contains different types and
numbers of orbital.
• Each orbital has different shape and energy.
• Each orbital contains a maximum of two
electrons.
Each shell contains different types and
numbers of orbital
Each orbital can have maximum of two electrons

Sequence of Energy Levels for Atomic
Orbital
The sequence of energy-levels is important in
determining the arrangement of electrons in
an atom.
This diagram is
useful to
determine which
orbital in an
atom are
populated by
electrons

Orbital and its Shapes
Shape of s-Orbital
Electron density is same regardless of direction
spherical shape
Electron Density Distribution in the 1s, 2s and
3s Orbital of an Atom
The nodes in the 2s and 3s orbits are actually
empty spheres on which the electron density is
zero.

The shape of p orbital
p orbital has 2 dumbbell-shaped lobes
2p
The electron density is concentrated in two
regions
that lie on opposite sides of the nucleus,
with their centers along a straight line that
passes
through the center of the atom.
