What is the equation for the maximum number of electrons on a energy level?
2n²
How is emission spectra created?
Electrons gain energy and move to a higher energy level. The electron becomes unstable and emits a photon of a light as it falls back down.
What is “n” in terms of the emission spectra?
The principle quantum number
In which spectra is infrared light emitted?
∞ → n=3
In which spectra is visible light emitted?
∞ → n=2
In which spectra is UV light emitted?
∞ → n=1
As “n” gets smaller does the wavelength shorten or lengthen?
Shorten
As “n” gets smaller does the frequency get higher or lower?
Higher

What is Aufbau’s principle?
Aufbau’s principle dictates the order which electrons fill energy orbitals “electrons arrange themselves to have the lowest energy possible”
What is Pauli’s exclusion?
Only 2 electrons can fill one orbital and must spin in opposite directions
What is Hund’s rule?
Electrons fill orbitals singly before forming pairs
Write the spdf notation for oxygen?
1s²2s²2p⁴ All the “top” numbers add up to the number or electrons.
What are the two exceptions from spdf notation?
Chromium and Copper
What is the electron configuration for chromium?
[Ar] 4s¹3d⁵
What is the electron configuration for copper?
{Ar] 4s¹3d¹⁰
