Arrangements Of Electrons In An Atom Flashcards
1
Q
Energy level
A
Fixed energy level that an electronic in an atom may have
2
Q
Ground state
A
One in which the electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels
3
Q
The excited state
A
One in which the electrons occupy higher energy levels than those in the ground state
4
Q
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle
A
States that it is impossible to measure at the same time both the velocity and the position of the electron
5
Q
Orbital
A
Region in space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron
6
Q
Sublevel
A
Subdivision of a main energy level and consists of one or more orbitals of the same energy
