Electron Configuration and Electronic Notation Quiz

The shortened form of electron configuration notation is called _______ notation.

In electronic notation, the notation 2p4 indicates _____ electrons.

In electronic notation, what does the superscript in 2p4 indicate?

In electronic notation, what does the letter 's' indicate?

According to quantum rules, the maximum value for l is ____ less than n.

A reference to 1p4 in electronic notation would violate which quantum principle?

The chemical properties of an atom are largely determined by the arrangement of the electrons in its outermost "valence" shell. This is mainly influenced by the atom's _________ number.

Elements in the same table group are chemically similar because they contain the same number of _________ electrons.

The Noble gas shorthand configuration is a shortcut of the full electronic configuration and represents the electron arrangement up to the ________ gas.

The electronic configuration of sodium can be represented in Noble gas shorthand as [Ne] 3s1, where [Ne] stands for the electron configuration of ________.

The short cut electronic configuration of Ca with 20 electrons can be written as [Ar] 4s2, where [Ar] represents the electron configuration of ________.

In an orbital diagram, each orbital available in a given energy level is represented by a box, circle, or line, with arrows indicating the presence of ________.

The 2n^2 rule states that we can have as many as 18 electrons with an n = 3 value in their partial description, but we show 8 electrons with an l = 1 value, where for l = 1 there can only be a maximum of 6 electrons. This discrepancy highlights the importance of understanding the quantum rules and the limitations of what values the quantum numbers can have. This is an example of the ______________ principle.

The sequence used in assigning electronic configurations is: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 5d, 4f, 6p, 7s, 6d, 5f...This sequence is known as the _______ series.
