FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an orbital?
Back
An orbital is a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons. Orbitals have different shapes and energy levels.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is electron configuration?
Back
Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, described by a series of numbers and letters (e.g., 1s² 2s² 2p⁶).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does Hund's Rule state?
Back
Hund's Rule states that electrons will fill degenerate orbitals (orbitals of the same energy) singly before pairing up.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is 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.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of noble gas configurations?
Back
Noble gas configurations represent a stable electron arrangement, often used to simplify the electron configuration of other elements.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does isoelectronic mean?
Back
Isoelectronic refers to atoms or ions that have the same number of electrons and thus the same electron configuration.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you determine the electron configuration of an element?
Back
The electron configuration of an element can be determined by following the Aufbau principle, filling orbitals from lowest to highest energy.
