  • Bohr proposed that electrons could only exist in fixed energy levels
  • An orbital is a region of space where electrons are likely to be found
  • If species have the same electronic configuration, they are isoelectronic
  • Ionisation energy is the amount of energy needed to remove a mole of electrons from a mole of gaseous atoms , forming gaseous cations
  • Successive ionisation energy is removing more electrons from the same atom
  • Large jumps in successive IE suggests the removed electron must be orbiting a lower energy value sub shell
