Electron Configurations & Orbital Notation Test

Front

What is the Aufbau principle?

Back

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

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 Hund's Rule?

Back

Hund's Rule states that electrons will fill degenerate orbitals (orbitals of the same energy) singly before pairing up.

Front

What is an orbital?

Back

An orbital is a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in an s orbital?

Back

The maximum number of electrons in an s orbital is 2.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in a p orbital?

Back

The maximum number of electrons in a p orbital is 6.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in a d orbital?

Back

The maximum number of electrons in a d orbital is 10.

Front

What is the electron configuration for Neon?

Back

The electron configuration for Neon is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Front

How does frequency relate to wavelength?

Back

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength; as wavelength decreases, frequency increases.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and frequency?

Back

Energy is directly proportional to frequency; higher frequency means higher energy.
