Electron Configuration Review

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

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied, to minimize electron-electron repulsion.

Front

What is the shape of a p orbital?

Back

Dumbbell-shaped.
