Electron Configuration (Not Noble Gas)

Front

What is electron configuration?

Back

The distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, indicating the energy levels and sublevels occupied by electrons.

Front

How many unpaired electrons does an atom have if all its orbitals are filled?

Back

0 unpaired electrons.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons determine an atom's chemical properties and its ability to bond with other atoms.

Front

Front

What is the difference between paired and unpaired electrons?

Back

Paired electrons are two electrons occupying the same orbital with opposite spins, while unpaired electrons are single electrons in an orbital.
