Q

Dalton’s five basic ideas about atoms

A

(helium nucleus 4/2 He) Positively charged, 2+

Ex. 230/90 Th –> 4/2 He + 226/88 Ra

  1. All matter is made up of very small, discrete particles called atoms 2. All atoms of an element are alike in weight, and this weight is different from that of any other kind of atom. 3. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed 4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds. 5. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged

Q

Niels Bohr

A

Published a theory explaining the line spectrum of hydrogen. He proposed a PLANETARY MODEL that quantized the energy of electrons to specific orbits. Louis de Broglie and others showed that quantum theory described a more PROBABILISTIC MODEL of where the electrons could be found that resulted in the theory of orbitals.

A

Mass spectroscopy

A

Mass spectroscope separates isotopes of the same element based on differences in their mass

22
Q

Max Planck

A

Quantum theory of light that light has both particle like properties and wavelike characteristics.

23
Q

Louis de Broglie

A

Particles can also have wavelike characteristics

24
Q

Uncertainty principle

A

Werner Heisenber It is impossible to know both the precise location and precise velocity of a subatomic particle at the same time

25
Q

Wave Mechanism Modle

A

Orbitals - the orbital is a three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron but gives no information about its pathway (NOT RELATED to the Bohr orbits at all)

26
Q

Principal quantum number (n)

A

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. The values of n = 1, 2, 3… Average distance of the orbital from the nucleus. (principle energy level)

27
Q

Angular momentum (l) quantum number

A

s, p, d, f (in order of increasing energy) The value of l can be = 0, 1, … n-1 l = 0: spherical shaped s orbital l = 1: dumbbell-shaped p orbital l = 2: five orbital orientation d orbital This number refers to the shape of the orbital Limited by the principal quantum number

28
Q

A

Number of spatial orientations of orbitals s = 1 space-oriented orbital p = 3 space-oreinted orbitals d =5 space-oriented orbitals f = 7 space-oriented orbitals Can equal: -l…. 0 …. l

29

A

An electron occupies the lowest energy orbital that can receive it. Then they will pair up when they are all filled.

36

Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity

A

An electron occupies the lowest energy orbital that can receive it. –> Then they will pair up when they are all filled.

37
Q

Transitional element characteristic properties

A

is given credit for the first periodic table. It was based on placement by properties.

39
Q

Henry Moseley

A

Changed the basis of the periodic law from atomic weight to atomic number

40
Q

Periodic Table Trends

A

Acid-forming properties increase from left to right on the table Base-froming properties are high on the left side and decrease to the right The atomic radii of elements decrease from left to right across a period Metallic properties are greatest on the left side of the table and decrease to the right Nonmetallic properties are greatest on the right side of the table and decrease to the left

41
Q

Atomic and Ionic Radii

A

Atomic radii decrease from left to right across a period in the Periodic Table (until the noble gases) Tomic radii increases from top to bottom in a group or family Atomic vs. Ionic: positive vs. negative charges - negative means ionic radius is larger - positive means ionic radius is smaller

42
Q

Electronegativity

A

is a number that measures the relative strength with which the atoms of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond. Value less than 2 = metal Decreases down a group and increases across a period Lower the electronegativity the more electropositive an element is. Most electronegative = F Least = Fr (francium)

43

  2. High energy, relative velocity
  3. Range: about 5 cm in air
  4. Shielding needed: stopped by the thickness of a sheet of paper, skin

  2. High velocity, low energy
  3. Range: about 12 m
  4. Shielding needed: stopped by 1 cm of aluminum or thickness of average book

  2. Arrangement in nculeus is unknown. Same velocity as visible light.
