What is the %probability of NOT finding an Electron inside an Atomic Orbital? 

10%

100

Identify for Beryllium:

1. Period# (P#)

2. Orbital Block (OB)

3. Outermost Subshell (OSS)

1. P# = 2

2. OB = s Block

3. OSS = 2s

100

What does the Electron Configuration represent? 

The Electron Configuration represents the address for Electrons in an Atom. 

100

What can you use the A Group Number to determine?

#Valence Electrons (#Ve-)

200

Which color are the Subshells in the f Block? 

Green

200

Put these structures in order from largest to smallest: Subshell, Orbital, Principal Energy Shell (PES)

1. PES

2. Subshell

3. Orbital

200

Identify for Thorium.

1. Period# (P#)

2. Orbital Block (OB)

3. Outermost Subshell (OSS)

1. P# = 7

2. OB = f Block

3. OSS = 7 - 2 = 5f

200

When writing the Electron Configuration for any Element, what is the first Subshell and #Electrons you ALWAYS write? 

1s^2

200

What can you use the Period# to determine? 

#Principal Energy Shells (#PES) the Atom has. 

300

Where is the d Block located on the Periodic Table? 

Middle

300

Where is Principal Energy Shell (PES) 1 located in relation to the Nucleus and how much Energy does it contain? 

PES 1 is located closest to the Nucleus and has the lowest Energy. 

300

When writing the Electron Configuration, why is it important to determine the #Electons an Atom has? 

It's important to determine the #Electrons an Atom has because that will help you when checking your Electron Configuration at the end. If your Exponents add up to the Atomic Number, you are on the right track! 

300

Write the Noble Gas Configuration (NGC) for Manganese. 

[Ar] 4s^2 3d^5

300

For the Element Sulfur, identify: 

A). A Group#

B). Period#

C). #Valence Electrons 

D). Metal, Nonmetal, or Metalloid

E). Family Name

A). 6A

B). 3

C). 6

D). Nonmetal

E). Chalcogens

400

How do you determine the number of a Subshell in the p Block? 

#Subshell = Period#

400

Name the Subshells in Principal Energy Shell (PES) 3. 

3s, 3p, 3d

400
Explain the Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP). 

PEP states that each Orbital can contain a maximum of 2 Electrons and each of those Electrons must have an opposite spin. 

400

Write the Electron Configuration (EC) for the Element Tellurium. 

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^4

400

Determine the information below for Bromine. 

A). A Group#

B). Period#

C). #Valence Electrons

D). Metal, Metalloid, or Nonmetal

E). Family Name

A). 7A

B). 4

C). 7

D). Nonmetal

E). Halogens

500

How do you determine the number of a Subshell in the d Block?

#Subshell in d Block = Period# - 1

500

How many Orbitals does each f Subshell contain? 

7 Orbitals

500

Explain Hund's Rule (HR). 

HR states that when Electrons occupy Subshells containing multiple Orbitals of equal Energy, the Electrons must each be separated into a different Orbital, containing a clockwise spin, before each Orbital receives a second Electron with a counterclockwise spin. 

500

Write the Electron Configuration for Bohrium. 

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4f^14 5d^10 6p^6 7s^2 5f^14 6d^5
