17
Q

degenerate orbitals

A

orbitals with identical energies
- 2px, 2py, 2pz

18
Q

Pauli exclusion principle

A

each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, provided that their spins are paired

19
Q

Hund’s rule

A

when there are 2+ orbitals of the same energy, electrons go into different orbitals rather than pair up in the same orbital

20
Q

valence electrons

A

electrons in outer shell

21
Q

how can you find valence electron number

A

group number

22
Q

electron shell is determined by looking at the _____________

23
Q

what electrons take part in chemical bonding/reactions

24
Q

octet rule

A

atoms desire 8 electrons in their outer shell so it will be filled
- except H and He want 2

25
a filled shell of electrons is the electron configuration of a ________________-
noble gas
26
which elements have an expanded octet
elements in third and higher rows
27
expanded octet
more than 8 electrons because they have low-lying d orbitals available
28
ionic bonding
giving/taking electrons
29
covalent bonding
sharing electrons
30
lone pair
pair of nonbonding electrons
31
valence
number of bonds an atom usually forms - C: tetravalent - N: trivalent - O: divalent - H: monovalent
32
non polar covalent bond
equal sharing of electrons
33
polar covalent bond
unequal sharing of electrons
34
how is bond polarity measured
dipole moment
35
dipole moment
amount of partial charge multiplied by the bond length
36
bonds and lone pairs of carbon
4,0
37
bonds and lone pairs of nitrogen
3,1
38
bonds and lone pairs of oxygen
2,2
39
bonds and lone pairs of hydrogen
1,0
40
bonds and lone pairs of halogens
