Scientist
This physicist is known for his uncertainty principle.
Who is Werner Heisenberg?
This is the simplest atomic model, resembling a solar system.
What is the Bohr model?
This quantum number describes the size and energy of an orbital.
What is the principal quantum number (n)
These orbitals are spherical in shape.
What are s orbitals?
The electron configuration of helium is this.
What is 1s^2?
He is famous for his wave equation in quantum mechanics.
Who is Erwin Schrödinger?
The modern quantum mechanical model of the atom is based on this type of mechanics.
What is wave mechanics?
This quantum number can take on values of -1/2 or +1/2.
What is the spin quantum number (ms)?
These orbitals have a dumbbell shape.
What are p orbitals?
This rule states that electrons fill orbitals starting with the lowest energy levels first.
What is the Aufbau principle?
This scientist proposed the quantization of the electromagnetic field.
Who is Max Planck?
This term describes the regions in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
What are orbitals?
This quantum number defines the shape of an orbital.
What is the azimuthal quantum number (l)?
This type of orbital can be found in the third energy level (n=3).

The electron configuration of carbon (atomic number 6) is this.
What is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2?
He introduced the idea of wave-particle duality.
Who is Louis de Broglie?
In quantum mechanics, this principle states that two identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?
This quantum number determines the orientation of an orbital in space.
What is the magnetic quantum number (ml)?
These orbitals are characterized by having cloverleaf shapes.
What are d orbitals?
According to this rule, electrons fill degenerate orbitals singly first before pairing up.
What is Hund's rule?
She was awarded two Nobel Prizes, one for Physics and one for Chemistry, for her work on radioactivity.
Who is Marie Curie?
This interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests that all possible outcomes of a quantum event actually occur, in separate, non-communicating branches of the universe.
What is the many-worlds interpretation?
If n=4 and l=2, what are the possible values for ml?
What are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2?
What is the maximum number of electrons that can be held in a single f orbital?
