Q

A, mass number=

Z, atomic number=

X=

Isotopes=
-number of _______ identifies which element; while the number of ______ identifies which isotope.

Avagadro’s number=
—>which is the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of 12C

Mole=

A

A, mass number= protons + neutrons

Z, atomic number=protons

X= elemental symbol

Isotopes= two or more atoms of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons.
-number of protons identifies which element; while the number of neutrons identifies which isotope.

Avagadro’s number= 6.022x10^23 = 1 gram
—>which is the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of 12C

Mole= (grams)/(atomic or molecular weight)

Q

Period=

Group or families=

Three sections of the periodic table:
1)
2)
3)

Metals=

Nonmetals=

Metalloids=

A

Period= each horizontal row in the Periodic table

Group or families= vertical columns

Three sections of the periodic table:

1) nonmetals on the right (anions)
2) metals on the left (cations)
3) separating the two is metalloids.

Metals= are large atoms that tend to lose electrons to form positive ions or form positive oxidation states.

Nonmetals= more diver appearances and chemical behaviors. (lower MP, form negative ions)

Metalloids= have characteristics that resemble both metals and nonmetals.

Q

Group B=

  • Group 1–>
  • Group 2–>

Noble gases=

-Small atoms are able to make strong _______ bonds due to overlap of ____ orbitals, while larger atoms aren’t able to make strong pi bonds; but the larger atoms can have _____ orbitals which allow for more than four bonds.

A

Group B= transition metals
-Group 1–>alkaline
-Group 2–> alkaline earth metals
MEMORIZE THIS BY ALKALINE COMES FIRST IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER

Noble gases= nonreactive and sometimes called inert gases.

-Small atoms are able to make strong pi bonds due to overlap of p orbitals, while larger atoms aren’t able to make strong pi bonds; but the larger atoms can have d orbitals which allow for more than four bonds.

Q

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff)=

Ionization Energy=

Second ionization energy=

Electronegativity=

Electron Affinity=

A

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff)= the amount of charge felt by the second electron.

Ionization Energy= the energy necessary to detach an electron from a nucleus.

Second ionization energy= the energy needed for the removal of a second electron from the same atom. (this one is always MUCH greater)

Electronegativity= the tendency of an atom to attract an electron in a bond that it shares with another atom. (tends to increase from left to right, and from bottom to top on the periodic table, like ionization energy)

Electron Affinity= the willingness of an atom to accept an additional electron.

Q

Covalent bond=

Bond dissociation energy (bond energy)=

Empirical formula=

Molecular formula=

A

Covalent bond= two electrons are shared by two nuclei.

Bond dissociation energy (bond energy)= the energy necessary to achieve a complete separation is given by the vertical distance on the graph between the bond length and zero.

Empirical formula= of glucose for example (CH2O)

Molecular formula= of glucose again (C6H12O6)

Q

Physical reaction=

Chemical reaction=

Combination= A + B –>

Decomposition= C –>

Single Displacement= A + BC –>

Double Displacement= AB + CD –>

A

Physical reaction= when a compound undergoes a reaction and maintains its molecular structure and thus its identity.

Chemical reaction= when a compound undergoes a reaction and changes its molecular structure to form a new compound.

Combination= A + B –> C
Decomposition= C –> A + B
Single Displacement= A + BC –> B + AC
Double Displacement= AB + CD –> AD + CB

Q

Valence Electrons=

Planck’s quantum theory:

E photon= hf

both position and momentum (mv) of an electron cannot be _____ with absolute certainty at the same time, since the mass is known then the velocity cannot.

A

Valence Electrons= the electrons which contribute most to an element’s chemical properties.

Planck’s quantum theory: (delta)E= hfh= 6.6x10^-34 J s

E photon= hf

both position and momentum (mv) of an electron cannot be known with absolute certainty at the same time, since the mass is known then the velocity cannot.
