1

Based on the structure of the periodic table, which becomes occupied first, the 6 s orbital or the 5d orbitals?

6s

As drawn, the drawing is incorrect. Why?

In the left-most box, the two electrons cannot have the same spin. The Pauli principle states that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers. Since the first three quantum numbers describe an orbital, the fourth quantum number must have different values for two electrons in the same orbital; their "spins" must be opposite.

How would you correct the drawing without changing the number of electrons?

Flip one of the arrows in the left-most box, so that one points up and the other down.

To which group in the periodic table does the element belong?

Group 6A. The drawing shows three boxes or orbitals at the same energy, so it must represent p orbitals. Since some of these p orbitals are partially filled, they must be the valence orbitals of the element. Elements with four valence electrons in their p orbitals belong to group 6A.

5

Which is a statement of Hund's rule?

Energy is a minimum when the number of same-spin electrons is maximized.

No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

The dual nature of matter places a fundamental limitation on how precisely we can know both the location and momentum of an object at a given instant.

Mathematical functions called wave functions are used to describe electrons in an atom.

Energy is a minimum when the number of same-spin electrons is maximized.
