energies of atomic orbitals video6

Question 1

The energy of an electron in the orbit of an atom are always

Answer 1

lower then 0

Question 2

the more negative the orbitals

Answer 2

the better/more stable

Question 3

all of the orbitals start rlly negative and they get

Answer 3

less negative higher and higher in energy

Question 4

spin of electron doesn’t matter if

Answer 4

there is only one electron

Question 5

Ground state config+ex

Answer 5

Most stable place to put the electron
what atoms want.
“hydrogen atoms under normal circumstances will have its one electron in the 1s orbital. However, you can excite the electron and force it into different places.”

Question 6

excited state configuration

Answer 6

electron is excited and jumps to a higher energy level before filling the lowest energy first

Question 7

when you have more then 1 electron (3)

Answer 7

sub shells not longer at the same energy ( as you have a second electron the relative energy of the s,p,d orbitals within one shell split. s < p < d < f)Within a given shell, the s orbitals always have the lowest energy. The energy of the subshells gradually becomes larger as the value of the angular quantum number becomes larger.

must worry about electron spin

Question 8

the reason the splitting happens in sub shells when there are more then 1 electron is:

Answer 8

electron repulsion

Question 9

electrons have to be paired if they (spin up/spin down)

Answer 9

want to occupy the same space
