Electron Configurations & Orbital Notation Test

Front

What is an electron configuration?

Back

An electron configuration is the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, indicating the energy levels and sublevels occupied by electrons.

Front

What does the 's' sublevel represent in electron configurations?

Back

The 's' sublevel is one of the types of atomic orbitals that can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 'p' sublevel?

Back

The 'p' sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.

Front

Define wavelength in the context of waves.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What is the significance of the noble gas notation in electron configurations?

Back

Noble gas notation simplifies electron configurations by using the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas to represent core electrons.

Front

Identify the element with the electron configuration [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³.

Back

The element is Antimony (Sb).

Front

What is the shape of the 'd' orbital?

Back

The 'd' orbital has a cloverleaf shape, consisting of five different orientations.

Front

How many orbitals are present in the 'f' sublevel?

Back

The 'f' sublevel contains 7 orbitals.

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

Front

What is the Aufbau Principle?

Back

The Aufbau Principle states that electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals first before filling higher energy levels.
