5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the maximum number of electrons in the n = 2 energy level?
Use the formula for maximum electrons based on n.
What does the azimuthal quantum number (ℓ) indicate?
Think about what type of orbitals correspond to different values of ℓ.
What is the value of the azimuthal quantum number (ℓ) for a p orbital?
Recall the definitions of quantum numbers.
True or False: The Pauli Exclusion Principle allows two electrons in the same orbital to have the same spin.
Think about the characteristics of electrons in orbitals.
A carbon atom (Z=6) has electrons distributed across its orbitals. If a carbon atom loses an electron from its outermost shell, explain its electron configuration and resulting reactivity.
Consider the implications of having unfilled outer orbitals.
Explain why elements displaying the same chemical properties are grouped within the same column of the periodic table using quantum numbers.
Think about how electron configuration relates to chemical behavior.
