Read each question carefully and provide the best answer. Show all your work for calculations and orbital diagrams.
1. Which principle states that electrons will occupy the lowest energy orbitals available?
Hund's Rule
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Aufbau Principle
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
2. How many electrons can a single atomic orbital hold?
1
2
6
8
3. According to Hund's Rule, every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same .
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 notation for a Nitrogen atom (N).
6. Explain the difference between electron configuration and orbital notation.
Below is an example of an orbital diagram for Calcium:
7. The 3d subshell has 5 orbitals.
True
False
8. An electron with a spin quantum number of +1/2 must be paired with an electron with a spin quantum number of -1/2 in the same orbital.
True
False
