What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an orbital with principal quantum number n = 4 and magnetic quantum number ml = 0?

Back

8

Front

What does the Aufbau Principle state?

Back

Electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest.

Front

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied.

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 the correct notation for an orbital with n = 3 and l = 1?

Back

3p

Front

How many electrons can occupy the mℓ = 1 orbital in a filled n = 3 shell?

Back

4

Front

What is the significance of the principal quantum number (n)?

Back

It indicates the main energy level of an electron in an atom.

Front

What does the magnetic quantum number (ml) represent?

Back

It indicates the orientation of an orbital in space.

Front

What is the relationship between the azimuthal quantum number (l) and the type of orbital?

Back

l = 0 corresponds to s, l = 1 to p, l = 2 to d, and l = 3 to f orbitals.

Front

What is an electron configuration?

Back

A representation of the arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals.
