Concept introduction:
According to the Aufbau principle, the electrons are firstly filled into the orbitals having lower energy. The electrons are filled in the orbitals as,
Hund’s rule states that all the degenerate orbitals are firstly filled with one electron each and then paired. This rule favors unpaired electrons in the orbital.

- What are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forwardThe Lyman series of spectral lines for the H atom, in the ultraviolet region, arises from transitions from higher levels to n = 1. Calculate the frequency and wavelength of the least energetic line in this series.arrow_forward• identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forward
- Why is the electron in a Bohr hydrogen atom bound less tightly when it has a quantum number of 3 than when it has a quantum number of 1?arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forwardConsider the ground state electron configuration of titanium, Ti: [Ar] 4s2 3d2.
