  • Stoichiometry- is the branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
  • Law of conservation mass- that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.
  • Quantum numbers- DETERMINES THE LOCATION AND ARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRONS IN AN ATOM
  • Orbitals- ORIGIN OF PROBABILITY WHERE AN ELECTRON CAN BE found
  • Pauli exclusion principle- states that no two electrons can share the same combination of four quantum numbers.
  • Principal Quantum Numbers- REFERS TO THE ENERGY LEVEL OF AN ELECTRON
  • Principal Quantum Numbers- REFERS TO THE SIZE OF THE ORBITAL
  • Niels Bohr- describes that each energy level can only accommodate a certain number of electrons.
  • Angular Momentum Quantum Numbers- REFERS TO THE SHAPE OF THE ORBITAL
  • Magnetic Quantum Numbers (ml)- DESCRIBES THE SPATIAL ORIENTATION OR SPECIFIC ORBITAL OF AN ELECTRON
  • Spin Quantum Number(ms)- DESCRIBES THE SENSE IN WHICH AN ELECTRON IS SPINNING ON IT'S AXIS
  • The Aufbau principle- states that electrons should occupy first the orbitals with lower energy before those with higher energy.
  • Paramagnetic- atoms with unpaired electrons and are affected by magnetic field
  • Diamagnetic- with all electron's are paired and are not affected by magnetic field
  • The step-by-step process of arranging electrons in an atom is called electron configuration
  • Electron configuration- it is important in understanding chemical bonding and chemical reactions.
  • Spdf notation highlighted the number of electrons occupying a certain energy level.
  • orbital notation highlighted on the number of electrons occupying a certain subshell or orbital.
