Electrons, Energy, & Spectra

Front

What are the four electron energy sublevels?

Back

s, p, d, f

Front

What is an example of an emission spectrum?

Back

An emission spectrum is produced when electrons fall to lower energy levels and emit light.

Front

How many total electrons can the second Energy Level hold?

Back

8 (2 in s sublevel + 6 in p sublevel)

Front

Which orbital block does oxygen belong to?

Back

Oxygen belongs to the p block.

Front

How many electrons can any orbital hold at most?

Back

2

Front

Define an absorption spectrum.

Back

An absorption spectrum is a spectrum of absorbed light, showing dark lines where specific wavelengths have been absorbed by electrons.

Front

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

Back

2 (only the s sublevel is present)

Front

What is the shape of s orbitals?

Back

S orbitals are spherical.

Front

What is the shape of p orbitals?

Back

P orbitals are dumbbell-shaped.

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

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