26
Q

Why is energy needed to remove electrons?

A

As electrons are negatively charged and protons in the nucleus are positively charged, there will be an attraction between them, so energy is required to pull the electrons away.

27
Q

If an ionisation energy is positive what does this mean?

A

Ionisation energies are positive with the HIGHER the NUCLEAR CHARGE has a HIGHER ionization energy

28
Q

What evidence does first ionisation energy show?

A

Evidence for electrons being in sub shells and shells.

29
Q

What is electron affinity?

A

The AMOUNT of ENERGY needed to ADD ELECTRONS to atoms/ions.

30
Q

Definition for first electron affinity:

A

First electron affinity is the energy required to add one mole of electrons to one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous negative ions.

31
Q

Why are the first electron affinities negative?

What happens during the reaction?

A

Shows energy is released when an electron is added.. The more negative the electron affinity, the more stable the negative ion is that is formed.
Adding electrons to an atom is an EXOTHERMIC reaction so energy is given out to the surroundings.

32
Q

Explain the trends in the periodic table of the atomic size down a group and across a period.

A

Group- Increases. More energy shells filled with electrons so atom gets larger.
Period- Decreases- More electrons so stronger attraction between electrons and protons so atom is smaller.

33
Q

Explain the trends in the periodic table of the first ionisation energy down a group and across a period.

A

Group- Decreases because more energy levels so electrons in the highest energy level are further from the nucleus so require less energy to remove.
Period- Increase- More electrons so stronger attraction between electrons and protons so more energy needed to remove an electron.

34
Q

Explain the trends in the periodic table of the first electron affinity down a group and across a period.

A

Group- Becomes less negative because less energy given out when the atom and electron combines because more shielding between nucleus and outer electrons so more difficult for an electron to be attracted so only a small amount of energy released when both combine.
Small amount of energy given out because used a lot of energy (effort) to combine.
Period- Becomes more negative because more energy given out because it is easier to gain electrons. Electrons being added to the same shell and increasing proton number across the period so there is a stronger attraction between nucleus and outer electrons.

35
Q

What do Quantum numbers do?

A

Identify the various ENERGY LEVELS available within the atom in which the electron can reside.
Identification numbers: “address” for each electron in an atom by specifying the POSITION (or location) of an electron in an atom, predicting the DIRECTION of SPIN or rotation of the electron and determining the ENERGY and angular momentum of electron.

Q

Principal Quantum Number (n)

What happens in complex atoms, eg. more than one electron when n increases?

A

39
Q

What does the quantum number “N” indicate?

A

52
Q

Principal Quantum Number (s)

How many numbers can ‘s’ have? Why?

A

2 numbers because an electron moving around the nucleus SPINS about its own axis either in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction so is either +1/2 or -1/2.

53
Q

A

2 electrons which have opposite spins.

54
Q

Q

What does the Aufbau Principle state?

A

Electrons enter the LOWEST available ENERGY LEVEL first.

57
Q

What does Hund’s rule of Maximum Multiplicity state?

A

When in orbitals of equal energy, electrons will try to remain UNPAIRED. Minimises repulsion between like charges, so the system is more stable.

58
Q

What does the Pauli Exclusion Principle state?

A

That no two electrons can have the same FOUR quantum numbers and only two electrons can go in each orbital, providing they are of opposite spin.

59
Q

n= Number of sub-levels
n2= Number of orbitals
