🗑
show f  
🗑
The set of 4 numbers/letters that describe the energy state of an electron in an atom (mnemonic: P.O.M.S.) are referred to as ___ numbers.   show
🗑
show principal  
🗑
show orbital  
🗑
show magnetic  
🗑
The ___ quantum number describes some opposite behavior for electrons that can have only two possibilities (ex: ↑ or ↓)   show
🗑
"Electrons enter the lowest energy position/orbital first" and build up is called the ___ principle.   show
🗑
"Each orbital in a sublevel must receive one electron before pairing occurs" (single-single-single) is ___ rule (with an apostrophe!).   show
🗑
The Pauli ___ principle states that "no two electrons in an atom have the exact same set of quantum numbers (all electrons in an atom are unique)"   show
🗑
show diagonal  
🗑
show belated  
🗑
show s  
🗑
groups 13-18 on the periodic table make up the ___ block   show
🗑
show d  
🗑
show f block  
🗑
Using blanks and arrows to show the arrangement of electrons in an atom (ex: _↑↓_ _↑__) is called ___ notation   show
🗑
Using coefficients, letters, superscripts, and sometimes brackets/symbols to show the arrangement of electrons in an atom (1s^2 2s^2 <--study stack doesn't do superscripts!) is called ___ configuration notation   show
🗑
show photoelectric  
🗑
show photon  
🗑
show quantum  
🗑
SI unit of energy   show
🗑
energy level an excited electron must fall to to emit/release a photon of visible light   show
🗑
energy level an excited electron must fall to to emit/release a photon of ultraviolet light   show
🗑

🗑
show sublevel  
🗑
symbol of first element to undergo belated filling   show
🗑
show Cr  
🗑
symbol of element that has an irregular filling pattern due to 'borrowing' an electron to form a FILLED d sublevel   show
🗑
show He  
🗑
all members of this periodic table group are very chemically stable because they have filled outer s & p energy sublevels   show
🗑
according to Hunds rule, if 3 electrons enter a p sublevel, they will be arranged in this pattern   show
🗑
A very stable arrangement of electrons possessed by all members of group 18 is called a ___ ___ configuration (NGC).   show
🗑
show superscripts  
🗑

🗑
show cloud  
🗑
show standing  
🗑


   

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.
