2. Structure and Bonding [revised] Flashcards
explains that electrons are in 3-dimensional shaped electron clouds that represent the probability of an electron’s location.
QUANTUM THEORY
explains that the electrons are in orbits or shells.
BOHR’S THEORY
the idea of an electron “orbiting” the
nucleus like planets orbiting the sun.
orbit
electron clouds that represent the shape of probability for an electron’s location.
orbitals
tells about the detailed location of
electrons in an atom, the specific electron
orbitals that the electrons are found.
electron configuration
How many orbitals are in the fourth
energy level?
The 4th level contains s, p, d, and f orbitals,
so the TOTAL NUMBER OF ORBITALS is 16.
How many orbitals of each type are
there? For s, p, d, and f?
s – 1
p – 3
d – 5
f - 7
__% of more than 30 million chemical compounds contain carbon.
90%
Who is often credited as the father of modern atomic theory?
JOHN DALTON
TRUE OR FALSE
- Indivisibility of atom
- All atoms of the same element are
identical - Different elements have very different
types of atoms or differ in all respects
- wrong
- wrong, isotopes
- wrong, isobars
Who proposed the planetary model of the
atom?
Niels Bohr
TRUE OR FALSE
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in
orbits that have a set size and energy. - The energy of the orbit is related to its size.
- Radiation is absorbed or emitted when an electron moves from one orbit to another.
- wrong
- true
- true
states that there is an inherent uncertainty in the act of measuring a variable of a particle
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
model when electrons where originally thought to orbit around the nucleus in defined paths
electron orbit model
model when it was discovered that electrons move in waves in a defined space called an electron cloud
electron cloud model
Structure of an atom: small diameter size
2 x 10-10 m = 200 pm
very dense; contains protons and neutrons
▪ protons (positively charged)
▪ neutrons (neutral)
▪ small (10-15 m)
nucleus
▪ negatively charged
▪ located in space remindful of a cloud (10-10 m) around nucleus
electrons
number of protons in nucleus
All atoms of same element have the same Z value
atomic number (Z)
number of protons plus neutrons
mass number (A)
atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and thus different A.
isotopes
_______ of an element is weighted average mass in atomic mass units (amu) of an element’s naturally occurring isotopes.
The atomic mass
four different kinds of orbitals for electrons based on those derived for a hydrogen atom
s, p, d, f
most important orbitals in organic and biological chemistry
s and p orbitals
spherical, nucleus at center
s orbitals
dumbbell-shaped, nucleus at middle
p orbitals
