1.2 Electromagnetic

Question 1

Aufbau Principle

Answer 1

States that electrons will fill orbitals starting with the orbital of the lowest energy-lowest energy levels are filled first

Question 2

Hund’s Rule

Answer 2

When two electrons occupy degenerate orbitals they do so in such a way as to maximise the number of parallel spins -Electrons do no pair together until they have to

Question 3

Degenerate means

Answer 3

All the electrons are at the same energy level

Question 4

Pauli’s exclusion principle

Answer 4

If there are two electrons in an orbital then there spins must be opposite

Question 5

S orbitals can take

Answer 5

2 electrons

Question 6

P orbitals can take

Answer 6

6 electrons

Question 7

D orbitals can take

Answer 7

10 electrons

Question 8

Principle number (n)

Answer 8

The shell the electron is found in eg, 1,2,3,4…..

Question 9

Angular momentum (l)

Answer 9

The shape of the orbital the electron is found in eg, S(0),P(1) or D(2)

Question 10

Magnetic (mL)

Answer 10

The orientation in a space of the atomic orbitals eg, (-1,0,+1)

Question 11

The Spin (s)

Answer 11

If two electrons are in the same subshell they are spinning in opposite directions eg +1/2 or -1/2

Question 12

S orbitals have a l value of

Answer 12

0

Question 13

P orbitals have a l value of

Answer 13

-1,0,+1

Question 14

D orbitals have a l value of

Answer 14

-2,-1,0,+1,+2

Question 15

F orbitals have a l value of

Answer 15

-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3
