How Do Elctrons Populat Atomic Orbitals? Pauli Exclusion Principl (1925) No 2 lctrons in an atom can hav th sam st of 4 quantum numbrs. n, l, ml dfin th atomic orbital ms will dfin th lctrons in th orbital If thr ar only 2 possibl ms valus, thn ach atomic orbital can hold no mor than 2 lctrons; spcifically, on must hav ms = +! and th othr must hav ms =! Ths 2 s in an atomic orbital ar said to b spin-paird. Effctiv Nuclar Charg (Zff) What is th charg flt by an lctron in an atom? dpnd on n and l of th orbital whr th livs th farthr th lctron is from th nuclus: th lss th forc of attraction to th nuclus th gratr th - rpulsion an outr shll lctron is shildd by innr shll s Effctiv Nuclar Charg (Zff) Zff = Zactual shilding factor Zff and Atomic Orbitals rlationship btwn Zff and n probability of an bing clos to th nuclus: n = 1 > n = 2 > n = 3 Zff flt by an in an orbital: n = 1 > n = 2 > n = 3 nrgy of orbital: n = 1 < n = 2 < n = 3
