What is meant by atomic orbitals?
A region in an atom that can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spins
1 of 8
How are these atomic orbitals filled?
In order of increasing energy
2 of 8
What is meant by electronic configuration?
The arrangement of electrons in an atom
3 of 8
Are all orbitals filled in order?
No! 4s fills before 3d
4 of 8
What are the 2 elements with an unexpected configuration?
Chromium and Copper. They end in 4s orbitals
5 of 8
Describe how electronic shielding works.
Electrons from inner shells repel electrons from outer shells. Same signs repel
6 of 8
What is meant by '1st Ionisation level'?
The amount of energy it takes to remove 1 mole of electrons from one mole of its gaseous atom
7 of 8
What makes up electronic attraction?
Nuclear charge, electronic shielding and Atomic radius
