        Help!  

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

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
