S orbitals have what kind of shape?.
Spherical (circular)
What happens when an electron gains energy?
When an electron gains energy, it can move to a higher energy level or orbital within an atom. This process is called excitation.
What are the 4 quantum numbers?
Principal Quantum Number (n),Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l),Magnetic Quantum Number (ml), Spin Quantum Number (ms)
How many electrons does the s, p, d, and f orbitals holds?
How are elements organized in the periodic table?
Elements in the periodic table are organized based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus.
What is the difference between an atom and a molecule?
Atoms are the building blocks of elements.
Molecules are formed when atoms combine.
Name all 3 rules for electron configurations. One is a chart/principle. One is a principle. One is a rule.
Aufbau principle Pauli exclusion principle Hund's rule
Where are the valence electrons located?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.
What is Kinetic Energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion.
