400

who's rule is this...?

●  Electrons always enter an empty orbital before pairing up.

●  All of the electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin (to maximize total spin).


Hund's rule 

400

What is the name of this element - At 

Astatine

400

What is the relationship between the valence shell number and and the row numbers on the left-hand side of the periodic table?


Row number corresponds to the “n” (or, principal energy level) of highest occupied energy level (Valence shell)

Seaborgium 

500

What is the relationship between where an element is located within a“block” of the table in Model 1 and the superscripted (raised, like anexponent) value appearing at the end of the electron configuration for that element?

The column number = the superscript/number of electrons
