Module 2.2 Flashcards
Define an orbital:
A region of space 2 electrons can occupy, region with the highest probability of electrons being there.
What shape are S orbitals?
Spherical
What shape are P orbitals?
8 shape
Define isoelectric:
Same electron config as a different element
Define ‘ground state’:
All the electrons are in the lowest energy level.
Define ‘excited’:
Electrons in a higher that expected energy lever, further out shell.
Describe afbaus theory:
Electrons occupy lowest possible energy levels, want to be in ground state.
Describe Hunds rule of multiplicity:
Electrons will only occupy an occupied orbital if there are no others, still following law of filling.
Electrons sharing orbitals will have an opposite spin.
Which to elements don’t follow the pattern of the periodic table electron configuration?
Chromium and copper
Cr 4s1 3d5
Cu 4s1 3d10
Because they are more stable.
Why don’t transition metals follow the periodic table electron config pattern?
When positive ions are formed, 4s electrons are lost first.
Define covalent bond:
Electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of bonded atoms.
Non metals bonded to non metals.
Define ionic bonding:
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Metals bonded to non metals
Name for a metal ion?
Cation
Name for a non metal ion
Anion
Define a metallic bond:
Electrostatic attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.
What happens as the charge of an ion increases in a metallic bond?
More electrons lost, stronger the metallic bond.
How many electrons can an orbital hold?
2
What kind of electron configuration do elements want to achieve by bonding?
That of the noble gases
What are dative covalent bonds sometimes called?
Coordinate bonds
Describe a dative covalent bond:
Covalent bond where both electrons come from same atom.
Describe simple covalent molecules:
Small molecules
Don’t conduct electricity
No ions or free electrons
Soluble in organic compounds, not water
Describe the structure of diamond:
Carbon covalent ly bonded to 4 others
Describe the properties of diamond:
High melting point
Doesn’t conduct electricity, no ions or delocalised electrons
V hard
Insoluble
Describe the structure of graphite:
Carbon covalently bonded to 3 others
