What is the Quantum Mechanical Model?

Back

A model that describes the behavior of electrons in atoms as wave functions, rather than as particles in fixed orbits.

Front

What is electronic configuration?

Back

The distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, typically represented using the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule, and the Pauli exclusion principle.

Front

What are orbitals?

Back

Regions in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a single orbital?

Back

2 electrons.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding.

Front

How many orbitals are in the s sublevel?

Back

1 orbital.

Front

How many orbitals are in the p sublevel?

Back

3 orbitals.

Front

How many orbitals are in the d sublevel?

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

Back

No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
