The atomic number (Z) equals the number of protons in the nucleus, which defines the element and determines its chemical properties.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element (same atomic number/protons) but different mass numbers (different neutrons). E.g., C-12 and C-14.
Heisenberg's principle states it is impossible to simultaneously determine both the exact position and momentum of an electron with certainty.
Maximum electrons = 2n^2 where n is shell number. For n=3: 2(3)^2 = 18 electrons maximum.
The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines the shape of orbitals: l=0 (s, spherical), l=1 (p, dumbbell), l=2 (d, cloverleaf).
The Aufbau principle states electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to highest: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, etc.
A p subshell has 3 orbitals (px, py, pz), each holding max 2 electrons, for a total of 6 electrons maximum in any p subshell.
Pauli exclusion principle: no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of all four quantum numbers. This limits each orbital to 2 electrons with opposite spins.
Cathode rays are streams of electrons discovered by J.J. Thomson using a cathode ray tube. They travel from cathode to anode and are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Hund's rule: electrons fill degenerate orbitals singly with parallel spins before pairing up. This minimizes electron-electron repulsion.
