W15 ELECTRON CONFIGURATION NOTATION REVIEW

Different areas (shapes) an electron can be located

• 5s 5p 5d 5f 5g

• SPHERE

• ATOMIC ORBITAL

• SUBLEVEL

• CLOSEST

Electrons lowest in energy are held ___ to the nucleus.

• 5s 5p 5d 5f 5g

• SPHERE

• ATOMIC ORBITAL

• SUBLEVEL

• CLOSEST

The s sublevel resembles this type of shape

• 5s 5p 5d 5f 5g

• SPHERE

• ATOMIC ORBITAL

• SUBLEVEL

• CLOSEST

The 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel

• 5s 5p 5d 5f 5g

• SPHERE

• ATOMIC ORBITAL

• SUBLEVEL

• CLOSEST

These sublevels correspond to the 5th energy level.

• 5s 5p 5d 5f 5g

• SPHERE

• ATOMIC ORBITAL

• SUBLEVEL

• CLOSEST

A rule/principle that states electrons will occupy the lowest energy subshell that is available. From the German Aufbauprinzip, “to build.”

• Pauli Exclusion Principle

• Aufbau principle

• Hund’s rule

• Diagonal rule

A rule/principle that states that no two electrons can have exactly the same location and state. If two electrons share the same shell, subshell, and orbital, they must have different spins.

• Pauli Exclusion Principle

• Aufbau principle

• Hund’s rule

• Diagonal rule

A rule stating that, within a subshell, electrons will occupy all of the unoccupied orbitals before sharing orbitals. A subshell will never contain an orbital with two electrons and another orbital with zero electrons.

• Pauli Exclusion Principle

• Aufbau principle

• Hund’s rule

• Diagonal rule

Electrons located in the outermost energy level of an atom are called:

• Outermost electrons

• Valence electrons

• Aufbau electrons

The p sublevel resembles the ______ shape.

• clover

• dumbbell

• sphere

• donut in the middle
