Chapter 5 lesson 1: Revising the Atomic Model Flashcards
1
Q
How do sublevels of principal energy levels differ?
A
Each energy sublevel corresponds to one or more orbitals of different shapes. The orbitals describe where an electron is likely to be found.
2
Q
atomic orbital
A
a mathematical expression describing the probability of finding an electron at various location
3
Q
An atomic orbital is represented pictorially as a?
A
region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron.
4
Q
the energy levels of electrons in the quantum mechanical model are labeled by
A
principal quantum numbers (n)
5
Q
How is the s orbitals shaped?
A
spherical shaped
6
Q
How is the p orbitals shaped?
A
dumbbell shaped
7
Q
How is the d orbitals shaped?
A
cloverleaf shaped
