Unit 5 Test Flashcards
Hund’s rule
Electrons will pair up only when all orbitals in the same sublevel have one electron
When single electrons occupy different orbitals of the same sublevel, they all have the same spin
Infrared light
A type of electromagnetic radiation
Pauli exclusion principle
The restriction on the placement of electrons in the same orbital
If two electrons occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spins (clockwise vs. counter-clockwise)
Afbau principle
Electrons will only occupy a p-orbital only after the previous s-orbital is completely full
Electrons can only begin to occupy energy levels with the next highest integer destination only after all orbitals on the energy level below it are occupies
Orbit definition
Fixed pathways
Electromagnetic spectrum order
Radio, microwave
Atoms that have the same number of electrons are ___ with each other
Isoelectronic
A method that indicated the arrangement of electrons in a particular element
Electron configuration
Electrons closest to the nucleus of an atom are ___ in energy
Lowest
The n=4 energy level contains which sublevels in electron configuration
s, p, d, f
Elements lose or gain electrons to become like which group of elements
Noble gases
