BACKGROUND AND RULES
Background: You are the manager of a prestigious new hotel in downtown San
Diego – the “Hog Hilton”. It’s just the “snort of town” and you want to keep its
reputation a cut above all the other hotels. Your problem is your clientele. They
are hogs in the truest sense.
Your major task is to fill rooms in your hotel. The funny shape of your hotel is to
accommodate the habits of the hogs. The penthouse is on the first floor and the
less desirable rooms are on the top floor. You must fill up your hotel keeping
the following rules in mind:
THE RULES:
1) Hogs are lazy! - They prefer to stay on the lowest floor possible
2) Hogs can’t stand each other – They prefer to have their own room, BUT they
hate going up stairs more and will put up with each other rather than climb the
stairs.
3) They stink so you can't put more than 2 hogs in each room.
4) If hogs have their own room, they face up. If hogs are in the same room, they
will face in opposite directions

THE FLOOR PLAN
Assignment: Plan your bookings for the next 7 days at the hotel
(1) Book 15 hogs in their rooms. Place the hogs in the correct places in the
hotel. Then use an up arrow (↑) to show a hog facing up in the room and a
down arrow (↓) to show a hog facing down in a room.

QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT:
1) Compare your electron configuration with the Hog Hilton. What are the similarities and
differences?
2) Would the hogs need to use energy to get up to the next floor level? Would electrons need
to use energy to get to a higher level?
3) do electrons go between floors? If only half the energy necessary to go between the 1s and
2s orbital was available will an electron go to the 2s orbital?
