label
A: Mass number (protons + neutrons)
X: Element symbol (one or two letters)
Z: atomic number (number of protons)
what is this
the atomic mass, weighted average mass in amu (atomic mass units) of an elements isotope
define isotopes
atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers
what is the solution to the wave equation
wave function or orbital
what are the four different kinds of orbitals
s, p, d, f
what are the three configurations a p orbital can have
each orbital can have up to two electrons that must have ___________ _______.
opposite spins
label
2 - s orbital (2)
8 - s and p orbitals (2 + 6)
18 - s, p, and d orbitals (2 + 6 + 10)
as electron shells get farther from the nucleus
they get bigger and increase in energy
when filling orbitals, electrons must fill up the same energy orbital before…
pairing up with an electron of opposite spin
valence shell
outermost shell occupied by electrons
valence electrons
electrons in the outermost shell (valence shell)
what is chemical bonding theory
atoms form bonds because the resulting compound is more stable than the separate atoms
ionic bonds
formed as the result of electron transfers, ions formed held together by an electrostatic attraction
label the product
IONIC COMPOUND
label the product
COVALENT COMPOUND
covalent bond
formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals
It is energetically favorable for non-metallic elements to ________ ________ in order to achieve electron configuration of nearest inert gas
SHARE ELECTRONS
how many covalent bonds does hydrogen form
one
how many covalent bonds does carbon form
four
how many covalent bonds does oxygen form
two
how many covalent bonds does nitrogen form
three
what does the valence bond theory state
covalent bonds form when two atoms approach each other closely so that an orbital containing 1e- overlaps with another orbital containing 1e-
what is bond length
ideal distance between nuclei that leads to maximum stability
