Atomic Structure CH1

Question 1

As electrons go from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, they get?

Answer 1

(A)sorb Light
(H)igher Potential
(E)xcited
(D)istant from Nucleus

Question 2

What does positive ad negative energy stand for?

Answer 2

+ E = emission

- E = absorption

Question 3

It is impossible to simultaneously determine, with perfect accuracy, the momentum and the position of an electron.

Answer 3

Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle

Question 4

For any given value of n, the range of possible values for l is?

Answer 4

0 to (n-1)

Question 5

For any value of l, there will be _____ possible values for m(l).

Answer 5

(2l +1) OR (-l to l)

Question 6

Each level of l corresponds to which orbital?

Answer 6

l = 0 (s)
l = 1  (p)
l = 2 (d)
l = 3 (f)

Question 7

Orbitals are filled in such a way that there are a max number of half filled orbitals with parallel spins.

Answer 7

Hund’s Rule

Question 8

What are two electron configurations that do not follow Hund’s Rule?

Answer 8

Chromium and Copper (4s1)

Question 9

States that no two electrons in an atom can possess the same set of the four quantum numbers (n,l, ml, ms). This is due to the fact that electrons have a negative charge and therefore repel each other. Thus, electrons must position themselves to minimize this repulsion energy.

Answer 9

Pauli Exclusion Principle
