As you travel in these directions across the periodic table, electron affinity increases.
Up and Right
The date of your next midterm
What is Thursday, Nov 17?
The element with the configuration [Ar]4s23d104p3
What is Arsenic?
The full electron configuration for chlorine
What is 1s22s22p63s23p5?
The phenomenon that makes electrons in the outer shells be less attracted to the nucleus due to the electrons in lower energy levels between them.
What is shielding?
The term that describes atoms and ions with the same number of electrons
The element in the 4th row and the ionization energies:
I1: 418.8, I2: 3052, I3: 4420, I4: 5877, I5: 7975
What is Potassium?
The abbreviated electron configuration of Xenon (not just [Xe]; start from the last noble gas.)
What is [Kr]5s24d105p6?
The element with the highest ionization energy on the periodic table.
What is Helium?
(will also accept Fluorine)

What is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p1?
An electron has just been removed from a full shell/noble gas config.
The rule that states that 2 electrons will not be paired immediately in a subshell, but will be added to different orbitals within the subshell if available
What is Hund's rule?
The element with its valence electron(s) in the 4d subshell and the ionization energies:
I1: 600, I2: 1180, I3: 1980, I4: 5847, I5: 7430
What is Yttrium?
The abbreviated electron configuration for Holmium (Ho, element 67)
What is [Xe]6s24f11?
The definition of first ionization energy.
(Must give the entire definition to get the points!)
The minimum energy needed to remove the first e- from a neutral atom in the gas phase
The five different d orbitals and their descriptions (i.e. nodes and lobes along 3D axes)
What are:
dxy: angular nodes along the x and y axes
dyz: angular nodes along the y and z axes
dxz: angular nodes along the x and z axes
dx^2-y^2: lobes along the x and y axes; angular nodes between them
dz^2: angular (conical) nodes along the z axis; donut shaped area in the middle
