Electric Configuration

Question 1

elements are represented numerically by the number of electrons in their shells and number of shells

Answer 1

electron configuration

Question 2

electrons are added one at a time to the lowest energy orbitals available until all the electrons of the atom have been accounted for.

Answer 2

Aufbau principle

Question 3

Aufbau in English means?

Answer 3

building up

Question 4

an orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. To occupy the same orbital, two electrons must spin in opposite directions

Answer 4

Pauli Exclusion Principle

Question 5

Electrons occupy equal-energy orbitals so that a maximum number of unpaired electrons results

Answer 5

Hund’s rule

Question 6

each orbital can hold TWO electrons with opposite spins

Answer 6

Pauli Exclusion Principle

Question 7

Electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first

Answer 7

Aufbau principle

Question 8
