1. Section 4-3 Objectives List the total number of electrons needed to fully occupy each main energy level. State the Aufbau principle, the Pauli Exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule. Describe the electron configurations for the atoms of any element using orbital notation, electron-configuration notation, and when appropriate, noble-gas notation.

2. Electron Configuration The arrangement of electrons in an atom Lowest-energy arrangement – ground-state electron configuration Rules Governing Electron Configuration Aufbau Principle – electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it. Pg. 105 Pauli exclusion Principle – no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers Hund’s Rule – orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is occupied by a second electron, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals must have the same spin.
