1.2 Flashcards
What do quantum numbers describe
The position of the electron in an atom
Principal quantum numbers
What shell the electron is on
(n)
Angular momentum quantum number
Type of sub shell
(L)
Magnetic quantum number
What orientation the electron is on
(m)
Spin quantum number
What direction the electron is spinning, only has 2 values
(s)
Aufbau principle
Electrons fill orbital shells in order of increasing energy
Hunds rule
Electrons will fill each orbital singly before any orbital get a second electron
Paul exclusion principle
The maximum number of electrons in any atomic orbital is 2 and if there are 2 electrons in an orbital they must have opposite spins
Increasing order of orbital boxes
1s. 2s. 2p. 3s. 3p. 3d. 4s.
There is a special stability…
Associated with having exactly half full electronic sub shell.
