The principle quantum number, n, represents the:

• spin value

• suborbital value

• energy level

• magnetic value

Orbital sublevels, or L, represents:

• orbital color

• orbital shape

• electron spin

• energy level

The proper pair of the L value with the orbital shape.

• 0; f

• 3; p

• 1; s

• 2; d

With each higher energy level, the electrons are

• lower in energy

• more stable

• weaker

• farther from the nucleus

How many electrons total are found in the f orbital?

• 2

• 6

• 10

• 14

Which of the following is NOT a possible pair of quantum numbers?

• 2p

• 2d

• 4p

• 4f

Why is the 3rd energy able to fit more electrons?

• Because 3 is a sacred number, just look at it!
• Because the p-block that looks like it is part of the 3rd energy level is actually part of the 2nd energy level
• Because the d-block that looks like it is part of the 4th energy level is actually part of the 3rd energy level
• Because the third energy level has 7 s orbitals
