Question

match each item with the correct statement below.
region of high probability of finding an electron
lowest energy level
tendency of electrons to enter orbitals of lowest energy first
arrangement of electrons around atomic nucleus
paul exclusion principle ground state atomic orbital aufbau principle electron configuration

Explanation:

• An atomic orbital is defined as a region of high probability of finding an electron.
• The ground state represents the lowest energy level of an atom.
• The aufbau principle states the tendency of electrons to enter orbitals of lowest energy first.
• Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the atomic nucleus.

Answer:

• region of high probability of finding an electron - atomic orbital
• lowest energy level - ground state
• tendency of electrons to enter orbitals of lowest energy first - aufbau principle
• arrangement of electrons around atomic nucleus - electron configuration
