100

Kenny's favorite element

What is Xenon?

100

The standard definition of an orbital.

a region around the nucleus of an

atom where the probability of finding an

electron is high.

100

The values that Principle quantum number (N) can be, and the trend rules. 

Can take any integer value, and higher n means higher energy level (further from nucleus).

100

Aufbau principle (orbital filling)

Electrons fill lower energy orbitals before higher energy orbitals

100

What subshells are in the n = 4 shell?

4s,4p, 4d, and 4f.

200

Kenny's height

5 feet 7 inches

200

The standard definition of quantum numbers.

a set of 3 unique, interrelated integers that define each electron orbital

200

The values that Angular momentum quantum number (l) can be, and trend rules.

Can take any integer value up to (n-1),and electrons

with the same L occupy the same “sub-shell”.

200

Hund’s Rule

when orbitals of identical energy are available, electrons first occupy these orbitals singly with parallel spins rather than in pairs.

200

The electron configuration for Oxygen? Extra points if you draw orbital diagram on board.

1S22S23P4


300

Kenny's favorite arcade restauraunt. 

What is Charles Entertainment Cheese?

300

The standard definition of Principle quantum number (n).

indicates energy level or “shell” and relative size of orbital

300

The values that Magnetic quantum number (ml) can be.

Can take any integer value from –l to +l (including 0)

300

Pauli exclusion principle (spin directions)

when two electrons occupy the same orbital their spins are opposite.

300

Electron configuration for Nitrogen? Extra points for orbital diagram on board

1S22s22p3

400

Kenny's one food allergy

What is "gluten"?

400

What is the standard definition of Angular momentum quantum number (l)

defines shape of orbitals (electron density)

400

What values of L are possible for n = 4?

0,1,2,3

400

Orbital Order from lowest to highest energy

S, P, D, F

400

Electron configuration for Fluorine

1s22s22p5

500

Kenny's favorite "day" at the gym

Back/upper

500

What is the standard definition of Magnetic quantum number ?

defines orientation of orbital around nucleus

 

500

What value(s) of ml are possible for l = 4?

-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4

500

Does 2s orbital penetrate or shield 2p? Is 2s higher or lower energy than 2p?

penetrates, lower
