Quarter 1 Final Flashcards
what general atom has the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons and a different mass
isotope
german for “building up”. electrons have to fill orbitals of lowest energy first
aufbau principle
electrons occupy each orbital before pairing occurs
hund’s rule
each orbital can only hold two electrons and have opposite spins
pauli exclusion principle
the is 1s orbital, it holds…
2 electrons
there are 3p orbitals, they hold…
6 electrons
there are 5d orbitals, they hold…
10 electrons
there are 7f orbitals, they hold…
14 electrons
the cloud that is fuzzy and has no set boundaries is the…
electron cloud
when electrons move closer to the nucleus, they release energy in…
light
when an electron is in a state of lowest possible energy, it is in the…
ground state
when an electron has gained energy, it in in the…
anywhere it has higher energy than the ground state
excited state
to move to ground state, electrons have to release _______, in the form of light
energy
the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another…
quantum
the ways in which electrons are arranged in various orbitals around the nucleus of an atom
electron configuration
make sure to know electron diagram
*
what is…
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
electron configuration
1s2=
1=energy level, s=orbital, 2=electrons
to calculate energy levels, you use the formula…
2n2 (2 n squared) (n=energy level)
1) find an element on the periodic table
2) go back to the last noble gas that was passed
3) write symbol of noble gas in brackets
4) continue the electron configuration using the row after noble gas. ex. [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p1
shorthand electron configuration/noble gas cofiguration
