lesson 2-5 science Flashcards
Describes how electrons are distributed in the different orbital around the nucleus of an atom.
Electron Configuration
-The area where electrons are located in an atom
ENERGY LEVEL
-A division of an energy level that are denoted by the letters: s, p, d or f.
SUBLEVEL OR SUBSHELL
-Space in atom occupied by electrons and are classified by their shape.
ORBITALS
S, full name and shape
Sharp, spherical
P full name and shape
Principal,Dumbbell
D full name and shape
DIffuse, complex shapes
F full name and shape
Fundamental Complex shapes
-Also called the Building-Up Principle, states that electron’s occupy orbitals in order of increasing energy.
AUFBAU PRINCIPLE
-States that when electrons occupy a sublevel with more than one orbital, they must first occupy the empty orbitals before pairing up with them.
HUND’S RULE
-States that NO more than two electrons can occupy the same orbital and two electrons in the same orbital must have OPPOSITE spins.
PAULI’S EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE
The electrons occupying the outermost shell or highest Energy level of an atom that are not filled
VALENCE ELECTRON
Electrons occupying the innermost shell or lowest Energy levels
CORE ELECTRON
A shorthand way to represent the valence electrons of an atom using Dots, named after Gilbert Newton Lewis.
Lewis Electron Dot Structures (LEDS)
Also known as Wave Mechanical Mod- It is developed by Louie de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Karl Heisenberg.
