Unit 04 Review - Electrons - 4 Bohr Diagrams - 531/532

Front

What is the highest occupied level (HOL) of an element?

Back

The highest occupied level (HOL) refers to the outermost electron shell of an atom that contains electrons. It is denoted by 'n' and indicates the energy level of the electrons.

Front

How do you determine the number of protons in an element?

Back

The number of protons in an element is equal to its atomic number, which is unique to each element on the periodic table.

Front

What are inner-shell electrons?

Back

Inner-shell electrons are the electrons that are located in the electron shells that are not the outermost shell. They are not involved in bonding.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. They are important for chemical bonding and reactions.

Front

What is a neutral atom?

Back

A neutral atom is an atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge.

Front

What is a cation?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion that occurs when an atom loses one or more electrons.

Front

What is an anion?

Back

An anion is a negatively charged ion that occurs when an atom gains one or more electrons.

Front

How do you represent an atom using a Bohr diagram?

Back

A Bohr diagram represents an atom by showing the nucleus at the center and the electrons in circular orbits around the nucleus, with each orbit corresponding to a different energy level.

Front

What is the significance of the electron configuration?

Back

Electron configuration describes the distribution of electrons in an atom's electron shells and subshells, which determines the atom's chemical properties.

Front

How do you find the number of valence electrons for an element?

Back

The number of valence electrons can be determined by looking at the group number of the element in the periodic table.
