Pauli Exclusion Principle
2 electron per orbital, no identical quantum numbers
Aufbau principle
Electrons fill lower energy first before filling higher energy
Hund’s rule
single occupying of electrons in an orbital before pairing up
2 atoms who are exceptions to electron configuration
Cr and Cu (move one electron from s orbital to complete d orbital)
Paramagnetisim
1 or more unpaired electron
Diamagnetism
all electrons are paired
electron affinity
Energy accompanies the addition of an electron
- generally, acquiring an electron releases energy
- right side of period: large energy is released when electrons are added
- left side: small energy is released when an electron is added
