Electron Configuration<br />
• “Stable electron configurations”<br />
• States within the outermost or valence electron shell are<br />
completely filled<br />
• Some atoms of elements with unfilled shells assume<br />
stable electron configurations by gaining or losing<br />
electrons to form charged ions<br />
• Sometimes s and p orbitals form hybrid sp n orbitals<br />
• 3A, 4A, and 5A group elements typically<br />
• Lower energy state for the valence electrons
