The Quantum Atom
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Sphere shaped orbitals | s orbitals |
| dumbbell shaped orbitals | p orbitals |
| number of p orbital shapes | three (x, y, z) |
| number of d orbitals | five |
| maximum number of electrons in an orbital | two |
| states that two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spin | Pauli Exclusion Principle |
| the charge on an atom if it gains electrons | negative |
| the charge on an atom if it loses electrons | positve |
| an atom that gains or loses electrons | ion |
| uses a chemical symbol with dots to represent the number of valence electrons | Lewis structure |
| the electrons in the outer most energy level | valence electrons |
| states that an atom gains, loses, or shares electrons until it has eight valence electrons | Octet Rule |
| states that electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first | aufbau prinicple |
| states that when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy they do not pair up until they are forced to. They will have the same direction of spin. | Hund's Rule |
