Electrons in Atoms

This quantum number can be from 1 to 7 and tells how far the electron is from the nucleus

• Principal Energy Level

• Sublevel

• Orbital

• Spin

This quantum number can be either s, p, d, or f

• Principal Energy Level

• Sublevel

• Orbital

• Spin

This quantum number represents a location that can hold two electrons. s has one of these, p has 3, d has 5, and f has 7

• Principal Energy Level

• Sublevel

• Orbital

• Spin

This quantum number is binary and only has two options: up or down

• Principal Energy Level

• Sublevel

• Orbital

• Spin

This rule states that electrons must occupy the lowest energy available orbital first

• Aufbau Principle

• Hund's Rule

• Pauli Exclusion Principle

• Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

NGSS.HS-PS1-2

This rule states that the two electrons that occupy the same orbital must have opposite spins (1 up and 1 down)

• Aufbau Principle

• Hund's Rule

• Pauli Exclusion Principle

• Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

This rule states that all orbitals in a sublevel must contain one electron before any can get a second AND that all solo electrons must have the same spin

• Aufbau Principle

• Hund's Rule

• Pauli Exclusion Principle

• Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
