Electrons, Energy, and Light Flashcards
the further the electron, the _______ the energy, the shorter the wavelength
higher
the further the electron, the higher the energy, the ________ the wavelength
shorter
the ________ the electron, the lower the energy, the longer the wavelength
closer
Colors from highest energy to lowest energy
Violet, blue, green, orange, and red
Pauli Exclusion Principle
two electrons cannot share the same exact level, sublevel, orbital, and have the same spin
Aufbau Principle
electrons always fill sublevels by energy order, not energy level order
Hund’s Rules
every orbital in a subshell is always singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin
Sublevel S
1 orbital, 2 electrons max
Sublevel P
3 orbitals, 6 electrons max
Sublevel D
5 orbitals, 10 electrons max
Sublevel F
7 orbitals, 14 electrons max
Order of Electrons that Fill the Sublevels
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p
