17
Q

degenerate orbitals

A

orbitals with identical energies
- 2px, 2py, 2pz

18
Q

Pauli exclusion principle

A

each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, provided that their spins are paired

19
Q

Hund’s rule

A

when there are 2+ orbitals of the same energy, electrons go into different orbitals rather than pair up in the same orbital

20
Q

valence electrons

A

electrons in outer shell

21
Q

how can you find valence electron number

A

group number

22
Q

electron shell is determined by looking at the _____________

A

period

23
Q

what electrons take part in chemical bonding/reactions

A

valence

24
Q

octet rule

A

atoms desire 8 electrons in their outer shell so it will be filled
- except H and He want 2

25
Q

a filled shell of electrons is the electron configuration of a ________________-

A

noble gas

26
Q

which elements have an expanded octet

A

elements in third and higher rows

27
Q

expanded octet

A

more than 8 electrons because they have low-lying d orbitals available

28
Q

ionic bonding

A

giving/taking electrons

29
Q

covalent bonding

A

sharing electrons

30
Q

lone pair

A

pair of nonbonding electrons

31
Q

valence

A

number of bonds an atom usually forms
- C: tetravalent
- N: trivalent
- O: divalent
- H: monovalent

32
Q

non polar covalent bond

A

equal sharing of electrons

33
Q

polar covalent bond

A

unequal sharing of electrons

34
Q

how is bond polarity measured

A

dipole moment

35
Q

dipole moment

A

amount of partial charge multiplied by the bond length
