You should study your test, study your Handbook modules, and review your drill quizzes BEFORE taking this exam.
When taking it you should do so under exam conditions, i.e. alone, using only a calculator and periodic table, and
waiting until you have completely finished before checking your answers.
1: (CHALLENGE) Suppose the universe were different than it is and that the electron spin quantum number could have
values of +2, +1, +1/2, 0, -1/2, -1, and -2. Assuming that the Pauli Principle still held and that the values of the other
quantum numbers were the same, which atomic numbers would correspond to the "noble gases" (i.e. the elements with
special chemical stability) in this universe?
