Unit 3 Electron Configuration Flashcard

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost subshell of an atom.

Front

Which answer correctly matches the total number of electrons each subshell can hold?

Back

s=2, p=6, d=10, f=14.

Front

How many electrons can fit in each orbital of a subshell?

Back

2.

Front

What is the Pauli exclusion principle?

Back

A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy a single atomic orbital and only if they have opposite spins.

Front

What is incorrect about this orbital diagram?

Back

In the 2p boxes, there should only be 1 electron in the first 2p box and one in the 2nd 2p box.

Front

What is an atomic orbital?

Back

A region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons.
