Atomic Structure Revision
This is the fixed amount of energy an electron can have (marked by rows on the periodic table).
What is an energy level?
This is the electron configuration for helium.
What is 1s2?
This is the element with the electron configuration 1s1.
What is hydrogen?
This is the state an atom is in when you draw it's normal electron configuration.
What is ground-state?
Draw a filled atomic orbital.
[Teacher will draw on board]
True or False: Electrons can exist between energy levels.
This is the electron configuration for sulfur.
What is 1s22s2sp63s23p4?
This is the element with the noble-gas configuration of [Ar]4s2.
What is calcium?
This is the state an atom is in after it has absorbed at least one quantum of energy.
What is excited state?
These are the 3 rules to follow when writing electron configurations. (you can just give names, they do not have to be in the order I taught you)
What is Aufbau's Priniciple, Pauli Exclusion Principle, and Hund's Rule?
This is the amount of energy an electron needs to move from one energy level to another.
What is a quantum?
This is the orbital notation for iodine. (you may use noble-gas shorthand)
[Teacher will draw on board]
This is the number of sublevels in the n=2 energy level of an atom.
What is 2? (s and p)
True or False: Atoms can only be in an excited state temporarily.
This is how we identify atoms based on how their electrons are arranged in the atom.
What is electron configuration?
Draw/name the shapes of an s,p,d, and f orbital. (bonus 100 if you actually draw an f-orbital)
What is sphere, dumbbell, clover, and complex?
This is the noble-gas configuration for mercury.
What is [Xe]4f145d106s2?
This rule for drawing orbital notations states that you must draw your all of your spin-up electrons in a sublevel before pairing them with a spin-down.
What is Hund's rule?
What is atomic emission spectra?
This is the rule that has exceptions when writing certain elements electron configurations, such as chromium and copper.
Hint: They are an exception because their orbitals are not filled with electrons in the proper order (lowest to highest energy level).
What is the Aufbau Principle?
This is the maximum number of electrons that could possibly exist in the n=4 energy level.
What is 32 electrons
This is the correct electron configuration for copper. (You may use noble-gas shorthand)
What is [Ar]3d104s1?
This is a possible reason for carbon's orbital notation to be drawn this way. (Teacher will draw on board)
What is carbon's excited state?
It is when this happens that we can observe an atom's atomic emission spectra.
What is going from excited-state to ground-state.
This is the quantum mechanical property of electrons that may be thought of as clockwise and counterclockwise (up and down)
What is spin state?
