chem exam 2 (chapter 3-5) Flashcards
(68 cards)
principle quantum number
energy = distance
angular quantum number
shape of orbit (which orbital it is)
magnetic quantum number
how many of each shape
spin quantum number
represents whether an electron is spin up in a magnetic field or spin down
Pauli Exclusion Principle
no 2 electrons can have the same 4 quantum numbers
paramagnetic
has a magnetic moment
diamagnetic
no magnetic moment
Hund’s Rue
electrons fill orbitals 1 at a time with parallel spin orbital diagrams
Zeff formula (effective nuclear charge)
number of protons - shielding electrons
Zeff trend
how strongly the nucleus is holding onto the electrons. Goes up as you go up and to the right
Ex: find the Zeff of Na and write the electron configuration
Zeff = # protons - # shielding electrons = 11 - 10 = +1
Electron config: [Ne]3s^1
Aufgau Principle
when filling electron shells, fill from the lowest energy level and move up
Ionic Bonding
between a metal and a non metal. metal gives electrons to non metal
Lewis Dot Models
represent valence electrons on an atom
Electronegativity
how tightly an atom hangs onto its valence electrons
electronegativity trend
an atom with a smaller radius or more valence electrons is more electronegative because the nuclear force is greater and/or the atom wants to gain electrons to fill its shell (up and to the right)
electron affinity
energy associated with an atom gaining an electron
electron affinity trend
more negative electron affinity the higher the attraction is for electrons (kj/mol) trend is up and to the right
anion
an ion with a negative charge (gains electrons). larger than a cation
cation
an ion with a positive charge (loses electrons). smaller than an anion
atomic radius
radius of the atom
atomic radius trend
increasing down and to the left of the PT because more shells and EN means the nucleus holds tighter to the electrons and the radius gets smaller
ionization energy
the energy required for an element in the gaseous stage to lose an electron
Kaddy corner effect
vertical wins over horizontal in periodic trends
