1

Ms

The spin quantum number, can have 2 values: +1/2 and -1/2. + is up and - is down.

New cards
2

Pauli Exclusion Principle

No two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers. Results in a specific orbital having ONLY 2 electrons one with a + spin and - spin.

New cards
3

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff)

The net charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom, accounting for shielding by other electrons. It is calculated as the Zactual - Electron Shielding = Zeff

New cards
4

Zeff and Energy of orbitals graph

New cards
5

Electron configuration

A description of which orbitals in an atom are occupied by electrons

New cards
6

Aufbau Principle

The principle that electrons fill atomic orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest. This is used to determine the electron configuration of an atom.

New cards
7

Ground-state electron configuration

The electron configuration of an atom in its lowest energy state, showing the distribution of electrons among the atomic orbitals.

New cards
8

Degenerate

orbitals that have the same energy level.

New cards
9

Hund’s rule

if two or more degenerate orbitals are available one electron goes in each until all are half full
