FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the term 'ground state' refer to in electron configurations?

Back

The ground state is the lowest energy state of an atom, where electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an 'excited state' of an electron?

Back

An excited state occurs when an electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level than its ground state.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is emitted when an electron returns from an excited state to the ground state?

Back

A photon (light) is emitted when an electron returns to its ground state.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the Bohr model of the atom propose?

Back

The Bohr model suggests that electrons travel around the nucleus in fixed orbits or paths.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.
