Quantum
Smallest quantity of energy that can be emitted or absorbed in a process
Photon
A quantum of energy in the form of light expression E=hv
Ground state
Atom at its lowest energy level
Excited state
Atom at its highest energy level
Quantum #s
N (principal) energy level
L (orbital) shape of orbital
M1 (magnetic) designates a particular suborbital
S(spin) spin of the electron
Atomic orbital
A wave function for an electron corresponding to the assignment of specific values to the n,l, and m1 quantum numbers in a wave equation
Principle of the quantum number
The first 3 quantum numbers that must be assigned a specific numerical value to achieve a solution to schrödingers wave equation for the hydrogen atom
Orbital angular quantum number
The second of three parameters that must be assigned a specific value to achieve a solution of schrödingers wave equation for the hydrogen atom
Magnetic quantum number
The last three parameters that must be assigned a specific value to achieve a solution of schrödingers wave equation for the hydrogen atom
Electron configuration
An atom describes the distribution of electrons among atomic orbitals in the atom
Pauli
No 2 elements within an atom can have the same four quantum numbers
If two electrons are in the same energy, level must repel
