What are the orbitals called?
A
S-orbital
P-orbital
D-orbital
3
Q
Which orbital has the lowest energy?
A
s-orbital
4
Q
Which orbital has the highest energy?
A
d-orbital
5
Q
How many electrons can the s-orbital hold?
A
2 electrons
6
Q
How many electrons can the p-orbital hold?
A
6 electrons
7
Q
How many electrons can the d-orbital hold?
A
10 electrons
8
Q
Aufbau principle?
A
Electrons will fill the subshells of the lowest available energy, then fill subshells of higher energy
9
Q
Hund’s rule?
A
Electrons occupy orbitals on their own and only pair up when empty orbitals of the same energy are available
