Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom.

Front

What does the Aufbau Principle state?

Back

Electrons occupy orbitals of lowest energy first.

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

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

Front

How many types of subshells (orbitals) are there?

Back

There are 4 types: s, p, d, f.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding.

Front

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Electrons will fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up.

Front

What is an orbital diagram?

Back

A visual representation of the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals.

Front
