Front

What does the orbital diagram represent?

Back

The orbital diagram visually represents the arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals, indicating the distribution of electrons among the various energy levels and sublevels.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a d orbital?

Back

10 electrons.

Front

What principle states that each electron occupies the lowest energy level available?

Back

Aufbau principle.

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

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

Front

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Electrons will fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up.

Front

Define electron configuration.

Back

The distribution of electrons among the various orbitals of an atom.

Front

What is the significance of the noble gas configuration?

Back

It simplifies the electron configuration by using the nearest noble gas to represent inner-shell electrons.

Front
