12-15 Flashcards
hunds rule
electron fill in seperate orbitals before they start to share
aufbau
lowest energy
pauli
no electron has same four quantum numbers
principle
the distance of electron to nucleus
orbital
the probabaility of where an electron is found
electrons behave like
waves, they are spread out in the atom
orbitals can be
wave functions
what is used to denote wave function
psi
wave function
x, y, z psi
electron density
greek rho
regions where electrons are likely to be found have
high electron density
regions where electrons are unlikely to be found have
low electron density
how to calculate electron density
sqaure wave function
how to calculate finding electron in a given small volume
volume * square of wave function
orbital energy for only h atoms rely on
principal quantum number
