Basic Concepts
This is the term for the arrangement of electrons in an atom’s electron shells.
What is electron configuration?
What is the name of elements that belong to the s-block?
What is Alkali metals?
When an atom releases energy, it can go from an excited state back to this.
What is the ground state?
This is the shorthand notation used to represent the electron configuration of an element.
What is Noble Gas Notation?
As you move across a period from left to right, the atomic radius generally tends to do this.
What is decrease?
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the first energy level.
What is 2?
Which block do the transition metals belong to?
What is the d-block?
This rule states that each electron finds the lowest energy state when in the ground state. (Aufbau or Hund's Rule?)
What is the Aufbau Principle?
The electron configuration of this element is [Ne] 3s² 3p⁶.
What is Argon (Ar)?
This element has an electron configuration ending in 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁵.
What is Bromine (Br)?
What is the maximum number of electrons that can fit in the f orbital?
What is 14?
Which block contains the noble gasses?
What is the p-block?
The electron configuration for the element with atomic number 13.
What is [Ne] 3s² 3p¹?
The electron configuration of this element is [Ne] 3s² 3p².
What is Silicon (Si)?
This is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a p orbital.
What is 6?
The ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond is called this.
What is electronegativity?
This scientist made a model that described the states of electrons as discrete, meaning they are located outside the nucleus.
Who is Niels Bohr?
The ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond is called this.
What is electronegativity?
This rule states that electrons fill orbitals starting with the lowest energy levels first.
What is Aufbau Rule?
What is the name of elements that belong to the f-block?
What is actinides and lanthanides ?
Au - Gold
What is [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d9 ?
The electron configuration for a noble gas in period 3.
What is [Ne] 3s² 3p⁶ (Argon)?
