Electron Configuration

Front

What does Bohr's theory state about the location of electrons?

Back

Electrons can be found in orbits around the nucleus at constant distances related to their energy level.

Front

What is the significance of the noble gas in electron configurations?

Back

Noble gases have full electron shells, making them stable; they are used to simplify electron configurations.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the first energy level?

Back

2 electrons.

Front

What is the shape of the p orbital?

Back

Dumbbell-shaped.

Front

How many orbitals are present in the d subshell?

Back

5 orbitals.

Front

What is the principle behind the Aufbau principle in electron configuration?

Back

Electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first before moving to higher energy levels.
