P7 Chemistry - Electron Configuration Make up

Front

What is an orbital diagram?

Back

An orbital diagram is a visual representation of the electron arrangement in an atom, using arrows to indicate the spin of electrons in orbitals.

How many electrons does Silicon (Si) have?

Back

Silicon (Si) has 14 electrons.

Front

What is the electron configuration for Aluminum (Al)?

Back

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

Front

Which element is a p sublevel element: Ca, Ar, Re, or Au?

Back

Argon (Ar) is a p sublevel element.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons that the first energy level can hold?

Back

The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

Front

Define electron configuration.

Back

Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, typically represented in a specific notation.

Front

What is the significance of the Pauli Exclusion Principle in electron configuration?

Back

The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers, which affects how electrons are arranged in orbitals.

Front

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

Back

The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

Front

What is a Lewis dot structure?

Back

A Lewis dot structure is a diagram that represents the valence electrons of an atom as dots around the element's symbol.

Front

What is the difference between shorthand configuration and full electron configuration?

Back

Shorthand configuration uses the nearest noble gas to simplify the representation of an atom's electron configuration, while full configuration lists all electrons in order.
