Who solved the photoelectric effect problem? Einstein

Can a electron be considered a wave and a particle? Who stated this? Yes, DeBroglie

What is the photelectric effect? When light shines on a metal, and only ejects electrons at a threshhold wavelength (or frequency)

What is Hund’s rule? Electrons fill up orbitals at same energy level one at a time, before doubling up

What does the Pauli Exclusion principle state? Only two electrons per orbital and they must have opposite spins

According to the Aufbau principle, how do electrons enter orbitals? In the lowest energy orbitals first (ie. 1s, then 2s, etc.)

What does the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle have to say about electrons? You can’t know the position and velocity (speed and direction) of an electron at the same time
