| A | B |
| Principal Quantum Level | Equates to distance from nucleus |
| Orbital Quantum Level | Equates to geometric position |
| Magnetic Quantum Level | Equates to paired/unpaired |
| Spin Quantum Level | Equates to electron spin |
| Pauli Exclusion Principal | No two electrons have the same quantum values in the same electron |
| Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal | Can't determine momentum and location simultaneously |
| Aufbau Principal | Electrons fill from low to high energy |
| Hund's Rule | The order in which electrons fill suborbitals |
