1
New cards
Ground-state electron configuration
The lowest-energy arrangement of an atom's electrons in orbitals.
2
New cards
Aufbau principle
The rule stating that the lowest-energy orbitals fill up first.
3
New cards
Pauli exclusion principle
The rule that states two electrons can occupy an orbital only if they have opposite spins.
4
New cards
Hund's rule
The rule stating that electrons occupy degenerate orbitals singly with parallel spins before pairing up.
5
New cards
1s configuration
The ground-state configuration for hydrogen, indicating one electron in the lowest-energy 1s orbital.
6
New cards
Superscript in electron configuration
Indicates the number of electrons in a particular orbital.
7
New cards
Orbital energy levels
The order of energy in which electrons occupy orbitals, with lower energy levels filled first.
8
New cards
Electron spin
The property of electrons that can be oriented as either 'up' (↑) or 'down' (↓).
