88
Q

Pauli Exclusion Principle

A
  • orbitals can only contain a maximum of two electrons and when two electrons enter the same orbital they must have opposite spins so that each electron has a unique set of quantum numbers.

90
Q

Why do we see colored lights during the flame test experiment?

A
  • The flame adds energy to the electrons
  • They get excited and jump to higher energy levels
  • Then, they get pulled back towards the nucleus and the extra energy gets emitted as light.
