Question 22

Standard Notation of Electron Configuration

Answer 22

ex. 1s2 2s2 2p6

Question 23

Shorthand Configuration

Answer 23

standard Notation that starts with the nearest noble gas before the desired element

ex. [Ar] 4s2

Question 24

Orbital Diagrams: Box Configuration rules

Answer 24

each box contains 2 electrons

electrons are arrows

arrows are paired in opposite directions

each orbital must be labeled

ex.) 3 boxes for p orbital, 5 boxes for d orbital

Question 25

Answer 26

s

Question 27

What orbitals are in energy level 2?

Answer 27

s, p

Question 28

What orbitals are in energy level 3?

Answer 28

s, p, d

Question 29

What orbitals are in energy level 4?

Answer 29

s, p, d, f

Question 30

Aufbau Principle

Answer 30

fill up the lowest energy levels and orbitals first

Question 31

Pauli’s Exclusion Principle

Answer 31

Electrons MUST have opposite spins in orbitals

(arrows pointing in opposite directions)

Question 32

Hund’s Rule

Answer 32

place one electron in each orbital (with the same spin) and then pair them up

Question 33

Valence Electrons

Answer 33

Electrons on the outermost shell

(the highest energy level)

Question 34

Positive ion

Answer 34

Cation

Question 35

Cation

Answer 35

Positive Ion

Question 36

Negative Ion

Answer 36

Anion

Question 37

Anion

Answer 37

Negative Ion

Question 38

______ lose valence electrons

Answer 38

metals

Question 39

How do you identify the valence electrons and cation symbol?

Answer 39

The highest energy level with electrons indicate the valence electrons

Number of valence electrons = amount of positiveccharge

ex) 3s2 - 2 val = Mg2+

Question 40

______ gain electrons

Answer 40

non-metals

Question 41

Octet

Answer 41

A full outer shell of electrons (8)

Question 42

How to identify anions and their valence electrons

Answer 42

Valence electrons is the highest energy level’s (number) electrons

how many electrons needed to complete an octet = the negative charge

ex) 3s2 3p5 - 7 val - Cl- (because one less than 8)
