Energy Levels & Orbitals

Question 0

what does quantum mean?

Answer 0

An amount, electrons can only have certain energies and can’t exist between them

Question 1

What is a quantum energy level?

Answer 1

Space where an electron COULD exist

Question 2

What is an energy level

Answer 2

How much energy an electron needs

Question 3

Orbitals

Answer 3

Places where electrons are most likely to be found within an energy level

Question 4

Which energy level has the lowest amount of energy? Why?

Answer 4

1st energy level-> S orbital

Lowest energy bc electrons are attracted to the nucleus

Question 5

Which energy level/orbital has the most amount of energy? Why?

Answer 5

4th -> S,p,d,f orbital

Holds the most energy because electrons have more space because they are farther from the nucleus

Question 6

Answer 6

2

Question 7

How many electrons can the S orbital hold?

Answer 7

2

Question 8

How many electrons can the p orbital hold?

Answer 8

6

Question 9

Answer 10

Closer to 
(Opposite charges)

Question 11
