Chem H Atomic Orbital Review

Front

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Hund's Rule states that electrons will occupy degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up in any orbital.

Front

What is Aufbau's Principle?

Back

Aufbau's Principle states that electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals first before filling higher energy orbitals.

The correct shortcut configuration for iodine is [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.

Front

What is an orbital diagram?

Back

An orbital diagram is a visual representation of the electron configuration of an atom, showing the distribution of electrons in orbitals.

Front

What does it mean for an orbital to be 'degenerate'?

Back

Degenerate orbitals are orbitals that have the same energy level.

Front

What is the significance of the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

Front
