Define Ground-State and Excited State energy levels.
Ground-State: An electron in it's normal position.Excited-State: An electron in a position that has higher energy than the normal.
What are the 4 Quantum Numbers?
N, l, ml, and ms.
Principal Quantum Number (n)Orbital Shape Quantum Number (l)Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)Spin Quantum Number (ms)
What does the Principal Quantum Number represent?
The energy level on which an electron can be found.
What does the Orbital Shape Quantum Number represent?
The Orbital in which an electron can be found.
What does the Magnetic Quantum Number represent?
The sub-orbital in which an electron can be found.
What does the Spin Quantum Number represent?
The spin of an electron in it's position; Positive or Negative one-half.
Describe the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
No two electrons can have the same 4 quantum numbers, because then they would be occupying the same space. Two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spin values.
Describe the Aufbau Principle.
Answer 9
Electrons fill orbitals based on energy levels; the less, the better. The Aufbau principle shows the most effective way to do so based on the energy levels and orbital shapes.
What are the limits to the Orbital Shape Quantum Number?
It can only go as high as n - 1... or ...The Principal Quantum Number - 1.
What are the limits to the Magnetic Quantum Number?
It ranges from -l to +l, including 0.... or ...- to + Orbital Shape Quantum Number, including 0.
List the Quantum Numbers for Carbon's 17th Electron.
N = 3l = 1ml = 1ms = -1/2
What is Hund's rule?
Electrons will singly occupy each sub-orbital before starting to pair up.
What is the trend for Ionization Energy as you move across the periodic table?
Ionization Energy Increases.
What is the trend for Ionization Energy as you move down the periodic table?
Ionization Energy Decreases.
