Chapter 1 - Structure & Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
How do we determine which orbital type the electron is in
A
The energy of the electron
The shape of the cloud is the orbital where it’s density is highest at highest probability of finding electron
2
Q
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?
A
Only 2 electrons are put in each orbital
3
Q
How to find number of valence electrons?
A
Group Number in Periodic Table
4
Q
What is an ionic bond
A
electrostatic attractions between opposite charged ions - results from a transfer of electrons
5
Q
What is a covalent bond
A
results from a sharing of electrons (most important for orgo)
6
