KEY TAKEAWAYS
• There are specific orbitals that determine the likely place that electrons will be in an atom.

• The electronic signature will be determined by the orbitals that are filled from the lowest energy to the highest energy possible.
• The Pauli principle states that electrons in the same orbital must have opposite magnetic spins.
• The Aufbau principle allows for the building of electrons from the lowest to highest energy.
• Electron affinity is related to electronegativity and tends to increase in the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table.
• A polar molecule is one with a net positive dipole moment.
