lesson 1 Flashcards
The discovery of this person showed that there were more fundamental particles present in the atoms
J.J Thomson
This person that most of the mass of an atom resides in a tiny nucleus whose radius is 100,000 times
smaller than that of an atom.
Rutherford
He theorized that light bears were made of photons that are equivalent to particles of wave motion.
Max Planck
Based on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, electrons do not travel around the nucleus in neat orbits. Instead,
they exist in certain regions called _____
orbital
This theory gives good interpretations of the
phenomena of the atomic and subatomic world.
quantom theory
indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron. This quantily is
sometimes referred as the shells.
Principal Quantum Number (n)
indicates the shape of the orbital. This corresponds to the
subshells that may exist on each energy level.
Angular Momentum Quantum Number ()
indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus.
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)
indicates the magnitude of the momentum and direction of an atom.
Spin Quantum Number (ms)
is the arrangement of the electrons in an atom.
Electron Configuration
this is the most common representation when electron configuration is
being discussed.
Electron Configuration Notation
This representation utilizes either a line or a box. Each line or box would represent one
orbital which shows the spin of each electron.
Orbital Notation
- this rule dictates the order in which electrons occupy orbitals. According to this
principle, an electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it.
AUFBAU PRINCIPLE
This second rule reflects the importance of the spin quantum number. It states that
no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
This third rule requires placing as many unpaired electrons as possible in separate orbitals in
the same sublevel. This rule states that orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any
orbital is occupied by a second electron, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals must have the same spin.
Hund’s Rule
