Electron Configuration Review ACP

Front

What is electron configuration?

Back

The distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, which determines its chemical properties.

What does the Aufbau Principle state?

Back

Electrons occupy orbitals of lowest energy first before filling higher energy levels.

Front

What is Hund's Rule?

Back

Electrons will fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up to minimize repulsion.

Front

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?
