Electron Configuration/Bohr Models

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 does the Bohr Model of the atom represent?

Back

A model that depicts electrons orbiting the nucleus at specific energy levels, but does not accurately represent the shape of these orbits.

Front

What is the electron configuration for Magnesium?

Back

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².

Front

Which element has the electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵?

Back

Chlorine.

Front

What is the significance of energy levels in the Bohr Model?

Back

They represent the fixed distances from the nucleus where electrons can exist.

Front

What is the electron configuration for an oxygen ion (O²-)?

Back

1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Front

How does the Quantum Mechanical Model differ from the Bohr Model?

Back

It describes electrons in terms of probabilities and does not define exact paths or orbits.

Front

What is the shape of the p orbital?

Back

Dumbbell-shaped, with two lobes on either side of the nucleus.

Front

What color of light has the shortest wavelength?

Back

Purple.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the 3rd energy level?

Back

18 electrons.
