States that it is nearly impossible to States that it is nearly impossible to know for sure the exact location and know for sure the exact location and the precise velocity of a subatomic the precise velocity of a subatomic particle at the same timeparticle at the same time
ExplanationExplanation
To “see” an electron, we pass photons To “see” an electron, we pass photons through it (light is deflected back) through it (light is deflected back) but we can’t know it’s true velocity but we can’t know it’s true velocity since when the photons hit it, the since when the photons hit it, the velocity changesvelocity changes
SchrödingerSchrödinger
●●Treated electrons as wavesTreated electrons as waves
● ● developed a complex mathematical developed a complex mathematical formula to identify the position of an formula to identify the position of an electronelectron

Only the PROBABILITY of finding an electron Only the PROBABILITY of finding an electron in a certain region of the atom is knownin a certain region of the atom is known
Energy LevelsEnergy Levels

Maximum of 7 PELsMaximum of 7 PELs
Each PEL has one or more sublevels Each PEL has one or more sublevels in itin it
SublevelsSublevels
Smaller areas within an Energy Level Smaller areas within an Energy Level (“city”)(“city”)

PrinciplesPrinciples
Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePauli Exclusion Principle – A maximum – A maximum of 2 eof 2 e-- can occupy an orbital can occupy an orbital
Aufbau PrincipleAufbau Principle – Each e – Each e-- enters an enters an orbital of the lowest energy level firstorbital of the lowest energy level first
Hund’s RuleHund’s Rule – before a second e – before a second e-- can be can be placed in any orbital, all the orbitals of placed in any orbital, all the orbitals of that sublevel must contain at least one that sublevel must contain at least one ee--

ValenceValence
Valence Energy LevelsValence Energy Levels – outermost – outermost energy level of an atom where energy level of an atom where electrons can be foundelectrons can be found
Valence ElectronsValence Electrons – electrons found in – electrons found in the valence energy levelthe valence energy level
