Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. For orbital diagrams, use arrows to represent electrons and lines/boxes to represent orbitals.
1. Which principle states that electrons will occupy the lowest energy orbitals available first?
Hund's Rule
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Aufbau Principle
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
2. How many electrons can a single orbital hold?
1
2
6
10
3. According to Hund's Rule, electrons will occupy separate orbitals within a subshell with parallel spins before any orbital.
4. The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four numbers.
5. Draw the orbital diagram for Nitrogen (N). Show all orbitals and electrons.
6. Draw the orbital diagram for Oxygen (O). Show all orbitals and electrons.
7. The 3d subshell has 5 orbitals.
True
False
8. An electron with an upward arrow and one with a downward arrow in the same orbital have the same spin.
True
False
