3. empty orbitals fill before electrons begin pairing up
6. a measure of how hard an atom pulls on BONDING electrons
7. organized space within an energy level, named, s,p,d, and f. These spaces have associated shapes.
10. location of electrons
13. element that has some characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals
14. determines the size of an atom
15. a diagram that represents the valence electrons of an atom of an element surrounding the chemical symbol of that element

1. No two electrons in the same atom can occupy the same orbital with the same spin
2. a 3-d area within a sublevel where there is a high probability of finding an electron
4. The effect of the positive nuclues on its outer electrons is reduced by inner electrons
5. an element that tends to gain electrons in a bond and a good insulator
8. the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from an atom
9. The physical and chemical properties of an element are a function of their atomic number
11. the minimum amount of energy that an electron gains or loses when it changes energy levels
12. an element that tends to loose electrons in a bond and is a good conductor
