Read each question carefully and provide your best answer based on your understanding of atomic orbital diagrams and electron configurations.
1. An atomic orbital is a region around the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an .
2. The principle states that each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
3. Hund's Rule states that electrons will occupy separate orbitals within a subshell before any orbitals.
4. The letter 'p' in a subshell designation indicates that the orbital has a shape.
1. Which of the following describes the maximum number of electrons that can be held in a single p orbital?
1
2
6
10
2. What is the electron configuration for an atom of Oxygen (atomic number 8)?
1s²2s²2p⁴
1s²2s²2p⁶
1s²2s²2p³
1s²2s²2p⁵
1. Draw the orbital diagram for Nitrogen (N), which has an atomic number of 7. Be sure to follow Hund's Rule and the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
2. Explain the difference between a subshell and an orbital.
1. All orbitals within a given subshell have the same energy.
True
False
2. The 'd' subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
True
False
