100

Where electrons are located in an atom

Outside of the nucleus

100

An electron that is closer to the nucleus will have (higher / lower) potential energy than an electron that is farther away

Lower

100

This quantum number describes the shape of the atomic orbital

Angular quantum number (or ℓ )

100

Light can be emitted from an atom when an electron does this.

Relaxes from a high energy orbital to a low energy orbital

200

Electrons preference is to be (higher/lower) in energy

Lower

200

The model that describes an electron's location as a circular path around the nucleus

Bohr model

200

The n and l values of a 3d orbital

n= 3, l = 2

200

The energy of light emitted from an atom when an electron relaxes from a n=2 orbital to a n = 1 orbital

The difference in energy between the n = 2 and n = 1 orbital

300

The subatomic particle that makes up almost all of the volume of an atom

Electron

300

In the modern quantum mechanical model, this is the shape of the lowest energy orbital

Spherical (s-type)

300

The quantum number that is equal to the row number of s- and p-type orbitals

The principal quantum number (n)

300

The direction an electron moves when going from a lower energy orbital to a higher energy orbital

Away from the nucleus

400

The reason electrons are attracted to the nucleus

Positive charge of protons

400

How the Schrodinger model describes the location of an electron

A region of space where the e- has a high probability of being

400

The number of possible values of this quantum number depends what type of orbital (shape) it is describing

Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)

Describes the orientation of p, d, or f orbitals

(p has 3 orbitals/orientations, d has 5, f has 7)

400

The reason every element has a unique emission spectrum

Orbitals have different energy in different elements

500

The subatomic particle that has REPULSIVE interactions with electrons

Other electrons

500

In the modern quantum mechanical model, this is how atomic orbitals are related to the periodic table

The shape of the periodic table (s,p,d,f block) with rows related to n-level

500

The reason why a maximum of 2 electrons can fit into any orbital

No two electrons can have the exact same set of quantum numbers, and the only spin (ms) possible are up or down

500

The force that makes electrons have higher energy when farther from the nucleus

Electrostatic potential energy (due to the force between charged particles)
