1.

Select the Three Rules of Orbital Diagrams.

a)

Aufbau Principle: At ground state, electrons fill subshells at lowest available energy first, and then continue.

b)

Pauli-Exclusion Principle: Two electrons in same orbital must have opposite signs.

c)

Gonzaga's-Law: All electrons must equate to the neutrons of the element.

d)

Hund's Rule: Every orbital in a subshell is occupied with one electron before being doubly occupied.

e)

Avogadro's Number: Units may be atoms, molecules, electrons, or ions depending on a character and substance.

2.

What is incorrect about the second orbital diagram?

a)

The second diagram IS correct.

b)

An arrow from 1s should fill in the empty box at 2p.

c)

An arrow from the first 2p block should fill in the last block before doubling.

5.

What happens when two electrons have the same spin in an orbital?

a)

The diagram is incorrect.

b)

If there is an unpaired electron, this will determine the spin.
