a region in space around the nucleus of an atom where there is a high probability of finding an electron
atomic orbital
the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom in its ground state
electron configuration
when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy, one electron enters each orbital until all orbitals contain one electron with their spins parallel.
Hund's rule
a small package, or unit , of electromagnetic energy; the amount of energy required to move an electron from its present energy level to the next higher one.
quantum
electrons enter orbitals of lowest energy first
Aufbau principle
a region around the nucleus of an atom where an electron is likely to be moving.
energy levels
no more than two electrons can occupy an atomic orbital; these electrons must have opposite spins
Pauli exclusion principle
the modern description, primarily mathematical, of the behavior of electrons in atoms.
quantum mechanical model
# of sublevels in an energy level is equal to.....
the square of the principle quantum number ex. n
# of orbitals in an energy level is equal to the square of the principle quantum number
n^2
# of electrons in an energy level is equal to ....
2n^2 which is twice the square of principle quantum numver.
