Q

work function

A

E of a photon necessary to remove an electron from metal via the photoelectric effect

27
Q

What does Rydberg’s equation measure?

A

predicts the transitions between quantized energy levels (n) based off of wavelength (and vice versa)

28
Q

Bohr

A

made first model of the atom with quantized electrons; problems: only works for 1 electron atoms and treats electrons classically

29
Q

de Broglie equation

A

how to find wavelength

30
Q

de Broglie equation

A

how to find wavelength, mass must be in kg and velocity in meters/second

31
Q

microscopic particles are best considered to be

A

waves

32
Q

uncertainty principle

A

it’s impossible to know simultaneously and exactly the position and momentum of a microscopic particle

33
Q

wave function

A

electrons described as standing waves

34
Q

standing waves

A

waves that don’t travel

35
Q

(wave function)^squared

A

describes the likelihood of finding an electron at a particular point in space (a sort of probability density map)

36
Q

quantum numbers

A

describe where a particular electron is within an atom

37
Q

atomic orbital

A

where electrons are likely to be found for each possible quantum state

38
Q

principle quantum number = n

A
  • shells, distance from nucleus
  • coordinates to periods
  • higher n = higher E
39
Q

angular momentum quantum number = l

A
  • subshells
  • describes an orbital’s shape
  • s,p,d,f
40
Q

circle node and how to find

A

radial/spherical, what’s leftover

41
Q

line node and how to find

A

planar/angular; l

42
Q

how to find total nodes

A

n-1

43
Q

magnetic quantum number = m sub l

*helpful for remembering what l corresponds to n if you look at picture/energy table

A
  • number of orbitals in each subshell
  • for l=0, 1 orbital
  • for l=1, 3 orbitals
  • for l-2, 5 orbitals
  • for l=3, 7 orbitals
  • to help remember, look at electron config
44
Q

pauli exclusion principle

A

no 2 electrons in one atom can have same set of quantum numbers, caused spin quantum number to be created

45
Q

spin quantum number = M sub s

A

+1/2, -1/2

spin direction of electron

46
Q

aufbau principle

A

electrons in ground state atom (low E) occupy the lowest energy orbitals available to them first then move up

47
Q

shielding

A

attraction between an electron and the nucleus in an atom with multiple electrons

48
Q

Z effective

A

nuclear charge that electrons feel

49
Q

relationship between Z actual and Z effective in multi electron atom

A

Z effective < Z actual

if there is more than one electron, don’t feel full pull of nucleus = farther away

50
Q

closed shell

A

full outermost shell

51
Q

how to find an elements inner and valence electrons

A
  • inner: look at Z of last noble gas

- valence: what’s left

52
Q

hund’s rule

A

equal E orbitals are singly filled before they are fully filled

53
Q

d-block anomaly #1

A

it is particularly stable for d-orbitals to be half-filled or fully-filled. 1 s-orbital electron is moved to d-orbital to satisfy this

54
Q

isoelectronic

A

atoms/ions with identical electron configurations

55
Q

d-block anomaly #2

A

when losing electrons, d-orbital elements lose both valence shell s-orbital electrons before losing d-orbital electrons (applies to ions)

56
Q

periodic trends: to go up/down table use

A

n

57
Q

periodic trends: to go left/right table use

A

z

58
Q

why use Slater’s Rules

A

to approximate Z effective

59
Q

periodic trends: Z effective

A

up/down table (as n goes up), Z eff goes up

as z goes up (move left to right), Z eff goes up

60
Q

periodic trends: atomic radius

A

as n goes up (move down table), radius goes up

as z goes up (move left to right), radius goes down

61
Q

periodic trends: ionization energy

A
  • as n goes up (move up to down), IE goes down

- as z goes up (move L to R), IE goes up

62
Q

periodic trend: ion radius

A
  • as ions lose electrons, radius decreases ( = less pull)

- as ions gain electrons, radius increases

63
Q

electron affinity (EA)

A

the E released when an electron is added to an atom

  • very general
  • EA increases as you move across and up the periodic table
