2

orbital

a region in space within which there is a high probability of finding an electron.

3

Aufbau Principle

When building up the electron configuration of an atom in its ground state, the electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels

New cards
4

Hund’s rule of maximum capacity

when two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, the electrons occupy them singly before filling them up in pairs.

New cards
5

Pauli Exclusion principle

no more than two electrons may occupy an orbital and they must have opposite spins

New cards
6

Energy levels

fixed energy value that an electron may have
