Core Electrons and Outer Shell ElectronsII. Valence ElectronsIII. Electron Configurations continuedChapter 6 Continued- Core electrons have the lowest energy and are the closet to the nucleus - Core electrons do not participate in bonding- Na : 1s22s22p63s1o Highlighted: core electronso 3s1: outer shell electrono Na: (Ne) 3s1- Outer shell electrons have the biggest energy and are farthest from the nucleus. These include valence electrons which are the electrons involved in bonding- Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar electron configurations for their valence electrons - Alkali metals o Na : (Ne) 3s1o K : (Ar) 4s1- Halogenso F : (He) 2s22p5o Cl : (Ne) 3s23p5- How many valence electrons does Ca have?o Ca : (Ar) 4s2o 2 valence electrons- For main group elements electrons in a filled d-shell or f-shell are not valence electronso Br : (Ar) 4s23d104p5o 7 valence electrons- Some elements appear to violate the rule of the electron configuration due to the closeness of some orbitals in energy- Exceptions:o Cr: (Ar) 4s13d5o The outer electrons exactly fill half of the 4s and 3d subshellso Cu : (Ar) 4s13d10o Outer electrons exactly fill half 4s shell and completely fill 3d shell- Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations- Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form anions - Atoms tend to form ions by losing or gaining electrons to achieve an electron configuration of the closest noble gas- Ca: (Ar) 4s2- Ca2+: (Ar)- Cl: (Ne) 3s23p5- Cl- : (Ar)- When more than one type of atom or ion has an identical electron configuration these atoms and ions are said to be isoelectronico Aro Cl-o Ca2+o K+o S2- All of these elements have the electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p6- When a transition metal forms a cation it will lose the electrons in the shell with the highest values of n first o Fe : 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6o Fe2+: 1s22s22p63s23p63d6o Fe3+:
