electronic configuration Flashcards
1
Q
principle (n)
A
describes the distance from the nucleus
2
Q
azimuthal (l)
A
shape of the orbital
3
Q
magnetic (ml)
A
the orientation of the orbital
4
Q
spin (ms)
A
direction of the electron spin
5
Q
the aufbau principle
A
is a rule that dictates the order in which electrons fill atomic orbitals
6
Q
hunds rule
A
electrons are distributed in subshells of orbitals of identical energy in such a way as to give the maximum number of unpaired electrons
7
Q
paulis exclusion principle
A
an orbital may hold no more than two electrons because the spin quantum number (ms) has only two different values
