Arrangement Of Electrons In An Atom Flashcards
1
Q
Energy Level
A
An energy level is defined as the fixed energy value that an electron in an atom may have
2
Q
Ground State
A
Where electrons occupy the lowest available energy level
3
Q
Excited State
A
Electrons occupy higher levels than those available in the ground state
4
Q
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
A
It is impossible to measure velocity and position of an electron at the same time
5
Q
Orbital
A
Region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron
6
Q
Sublevel
A
Division of a main energy level and consists of one or more orbitals of the same energy
