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
