Electron Configuration Review ACP

Front

What is electron configuration?

Back

The distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, indicating the energy levels and sublevels occupied by electrons.

Back

6 electrons.

Front

How many electrons can the d sublevel hold?

Back

10 electrons.

Front

How many electrons can the f sublevel hold?

14 electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the first energy level?

Back

2 electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the second energy level?

Back

8 electrons.

Front

What is the Aufbau principle?

Back

Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals first before filling higher energy orbitals.

Front

What is Hund's rule?

Back

Electrons will fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up.

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
