How to find steric number
Number of atoms bonded to central atom plus number of lone pairs
Bonding group just means
How many atoms the central atom is bonded to
Drawing molecular orbital diagram
Use general electron numbers to find which diagram you use, then only VALENCE electrons are put into the orbitals :)
Kinetic energy equals
Energy of photon MINUS work function
Lattice energy
Will increase as you increase charge
As distance between ions increases, lattice energy decreases
Which alkanes are most reactive
The shorter chain ones
If there are two oppositely charged ions, the forces are stronger than hydrogen bonding!!!!!
Formal charges should be as CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the overall charge of ion
Binding energy
Mass defect (mass of particles - mass of atom)
Convert to MeV
Divide by nucleons
Is ice melting endo or exothermic?
endothermic
is water freezing endo or exothermic?
exothermic
negative G value means …
spontaneous
positive G value means …
non spontaneous
delta G = 0 …
process is reversible and at equilibrium
standard enthalpy of the reaction
H (products) - H (reactants)
Q > K
reaction proceeds towards reactants
think k is better than q bc we learned it first
which direction will a reaction go when delta G is positive?
reverse
which direction will a reaction go when delta G is negative?
forward
K > 1
forward reaction is favored
K < 1
reverse reaction is favored
delta G and Kc formula
deltaG = -RT ln K
delta H negative, delta S positive
exothermic (bc H is negative), entropy is getting greater (bc S is positive)
delta G is negative at all temps, and spontaneous at all temps
delta H positive, delta S negative
endothermic,
delta G is positive at all temps, and non spontaneous at all temps
delta H negative, delta S negative
reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures
non spontaneous at high temps
