b)

a,b,c,d

c)

s,t,e,p

d)

2.

What rule(s) do you need to know for Electron Configuration?

a)

Aufbau Principle

b)

Pauli Exclusion Principle

c)

Hund's Rule

d)

All of the above

3.

Within an energy level, which orbitals are the lowest in energy?

a)

s

b)

f

c)

d

d)

p

4.

How many electrons can there be in one orbital?

a)

69

b)

1

c)

23

d)

2

5.

When you get to degenerate orbitals, should you fill them all half way first before pairing the electrons or no?

a)

Yes

b)

No

6.

What is the electron configuration for gold (Fe) element 26?

a)

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6

b)

1s1

c)

1s2 2s1

d)

7.

What is the Aufbau principle?

a)

Within an energy level, s orbitals are the lowest energy, followed by p, d and then f. F orbitals are the highest energy for that level.

b)

The lower the principal quantum number (n) the lower the energy.

c)

All three.

d)

The Aufbau Principle states that electrons enter the lowest energy orbitals first.

8.

What does a degenerate orbital mean?

a)

Huh?

b)

Means they have the same energy.

c)

Having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable; showing evidence of decline.

d)

Degenerate Orbital

a)

f

b)

s

c)

p

d)

d

10.

What's the probability the Electron Configuration tell you where all the electrons "live"?

a)

69%

b)

100%

c)

90%

d)

50%
