| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| shellnoun | A hard external covering of an animal. |
| sublevelnoun | An intermediate level between others in a mine |
| principal quantum numbernoun | (physics) The quantum number (of an atomic orbital) that specifies the energy of an electron in an atom and, hence, which shell it occupies |
| electron shellnoun | (physics) The collective states of all electrons in an atom having the same principal quantum number (visualized as an orbit in which the electrons move). |
| atomic orbitalnoun | (quantum mechanics, physical chemistry) A mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus. |
| electron pairnoun | (chemistry, physics) Two electrons having opposite spin but all other quantum numbers the same; i.e. two electrons in the same atomic orbital or molecular orbital, especially such electrons that function in concert to form a covalent bond |
| molecular orbitalnoun | (physical chemistry, quantum mechanics) The quantum mechanical behavior of an electron in a molecule describing the probability of the electron's particular position and energy; approximated by a linear combination of atomic orbitals. |
| supermultipletnoun | (physics) A set of quantum mechanical states, each of which has the same value for a certain quantum number (or numbers) but different values for another related one |
| dupletnoun | A group of two things. |
| orbital symmetrynoun | (physics, chemistry) The properties of an atomic orbital or molecular orbital that characterize its symmetry; especially those properties that are conserved in a chemical reaction. |
| valence shellnoun | (chemistry) the outermost shell of electrons in an atom; these valence electrons take part in bonding with other atoms |
| magnetic quantum numbernoun | (physics) A quantum number of an atomic orbital, whose possible values are related to the azimuthal quantum number, that denotes the energy levels in a subshell. |
| aufbau principlenoun | (physics) The rule stating that, in the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons fill subshells of the lowest available energy, followed by subshells of higher energy. |
| pi bondnoun | (physics, chemistry) A form of covalent bond in which a pair of atomic orbitals are shared |
| orbital quantum numbernoun | azimuthal quantum number |
| spin quantum numbernoun | (physics) A quantum number that specifies the spin of a particle; for an electron, it may only take the values ±1/2 |
| orbitalnoun | (physics) A specification of the energy and probability density of one or more electrons at any point in an atom or molecule, representable as a wave function. |
| circular statenoun | (physics) Any of those quantum states of an atom, which has a high principal quantum number n, and a magnetic quantum number m_l with the maximum possible magnitude, |m_l|=n-1. |
| tripletnoun | One of a group of three, particularly |
| antibonding orbitalnoun | (physical chemistry) an atomic or molecular orbital whose energy increases as its constituent atoms are brought closer together - thus generating a repulsive force that hinders bonding |
