final review

Question 1

first radioactive element on the periodic table

Answer 1

polonium

Question 2

atoms are the most stable when they

Answer 2

have an even number of protons and neutrons

Question 3

low spin goes with STRONG FIELD ligands which means that

Answer 3

lower levels fill up first bc the gaps between are large

Question 4

high spin goes with weak field ligands which means that

Answer 4

the gap between the levels is small and the electrons fill all the levels first before pairing up

Question 5

split point of weak and strong field

Answer 5

NH3 and H2O (H20 is weak)

Question 6

of valence electrons

Answer 6

group number-oxidation #= number of electrons in valence shell
