Periodic Table
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Element | a substance that cannot be split into simpler substances by chemical means |
| Triad | a group of three elements with similar chemical properties in which the atomic weight of the middle element is approximately equal to the average of the other two |
| Newlands' Octaves | groups of elements arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, in which the 1st and 8th element of each group have similar properties |
| Mendeleec's Periodic Law | when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weight, the properties of the elements vary periodically |
| Modern Periodic Table | an arrangement of elements in order of increasing atomic number |
| Isotopes | atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers |
| Aufbau Principle | when building the electronic configuration of an atom in its ground state, the electrons occupy the lowest available energy level |
| Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity | when two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, the electrons occupy them singly before filling them in pairs |
| Pauli Exclusion Principle | no more than two electrons may occupy an orbital and they must have opposit spin |
