Definition
no two electrons in the same atom can have the same 4 quantum numbers
Term
sheilding
Definition
reduces full nuclear charge
Term
effective nuclear charge
Definition
nuclear charge that an electron actually experiences
Term
penetration
Definition
deeper penetration leads to greater overall attraction
Term
aufbau principle
Definition
add one electron to lowest energy orbital, results in ground state electron configuration
