What is the significance of valence electrons in chemical bonding?

Back

Valence electrons determine an atom's ability to bond with other atoms.

Front

What is the Aufbau principle in electron configuration?

Back

Electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first before moving to higher energy levels.

Front

What is Hund's rule?

Back

Every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied.
