A

Electrons can demonstrate wave properties because they are in a superposition of both states, thus interfering with themself

62
Q

What is electron shielding and penetration?

A

Electron shielding is where inner electrons apply a repulsive force to outer electrons and thus the charge exerted on them is less

Penetration is the process by which these electrons go lower than the shielding electrons and thus are not repelled as much

A

at most 2. If there is 1 it is unpaired and if there are 2 they are paired

64
Q

How do you show electron configuration?

A

Aufbau: Start from lowest energy orbital and work up
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle: No two electrons can spin the same way in the same orbital
Hund’s Rule: Electrons will first fill a sublevel spinning in parallel before then pairing in their orbitals

66
Q

How do you read the periodic table to show orbitals?

A

For each row go 1, 2, 3, 4. Then use the left block as s, the right block as p, and the middle block as d. Remember the middle block is offset one, so on row 4 it’s n will be 3.

Atomic Radii: Decreases across the table, increases down the table
Ionization Energy: Increases across the table, decreases down the table
Electron Affinity: Decreases Across the table, not definite pattern down the table
Metallic Character: Decreases across the table, increases down the table

68
Q

How do you figure out electron positions for electron configurations for cations and anions?

A

For anions it is the same as when filling normally

However, for cations, electrons are pulled from the highest n-level rather than the highest energy level

so [Ar] 4s^2 3d^3 would pull from 4s^2 rather than 3d^3 when making the cation.

69
Q

How do successive ionization energies compare to first ionization energy?

A

They are almost always greater

70
Q

When does an atom have and not have magnetic properties?

What are the three types of bonding and the electron configuration they have?

A

Ionic: Electrons transferred from one molecule to another
Covalent: Electrons shared between the molecules
Metallic: Electrons pooled in between all the molecules

77
Q

How do you draw the lewis structure for an ionic compound?

It is the additional energy that is created by ionic compounds forming a lattice structure

79
Q

85
Q

What are resonance structures?

A

They are all the equivalent forms a molecule can take.

86
Q

How do you calculate formal charge of an atom in the lewis structure?

A

Original Number of Valence Electrons - 1/2 * number of bonding electrons - number of nonbonding electrons

87
Q

What are some rules for formal charge?

A

The formal charge of the central atom should NEVER be negative. If it is find a different structure.

Formal charge should never be greater than 1, maybe 2.

Lewis structures will rearrange themselves to follow the above rules, so always check

88
Q

What are the exception to the octet rule and how do you draw them?

A

Expanded Octet: Occurs for third row and lower. Can be used to balance formal charge.
Incomplete Octet: Unlikely but possible usually with hydrogen, just sorta make the best you can out of it (usually given formal charge)
Odd Electron Species: Unlikely but possible, again just do the best you can.

A

High electrical conductivity since electrons can flow about in the delocalized sea
High heat conductivity for the same reason
High malleability since there is no particular bond

95

A

Lone pairs exerting greater repulsive force than bonding pairs
Double/triple bonds exerting greater repulsive force than single bonds

96
Q

Octahedral: 1 lone pair: square pyramidal, 2 lone pairs: square planar

97
Q

When is a bond polar vs non-polar?

A

When there is an electronegativity difference of more than 0.4 the bond is polar

98
Q

100
Q

What types of bonds are contained within single, double, and triple bonds?

A

Single: 1 sigma bond
Double: 1 sigma bond, 1 pi bond
Triple: 1 sigma bond, 2pi bonds

This makes sense because if a double bond is formed you most likely have sp^2 hybridization leaving 1 unhybridized orbital and if a triple bond is formed you most likely have sp hybridization leaving 2 unhybridized orbitals

101
Q

How do you use mo theory?

A

Count the total number of valence electrons of two molecules which are going to bond. Then, plug into the MO boxes

102
Q

What is the order and number of the mo theory boxes?

A

Sigma 2s: 1 box
Antibonding Sigma 2s: 1 box
Pi 2p: 2 boxes
Sigma 2p: 1 box
Antibonding Pi 2p: 2 boxes
Antibonding Sigma 2p: 1 box

For nitrogen and lighter diatomics
The pi 2p and sigma 2p are swapped for oxygen and heavier diatomics

Pi bonds have 2 boxes
Sigma bonds have 1 box

2 valence electrons per box

Electrons fill lowest energy first implying the sigma 2s has the lowest energy

103
Q

What is the bond order of a MO theory bond? what does it tell us?

A

(Num electrons in bonding MOs- Num electrons in antibonding MOs)/2

Positive bond order indicates that the molecules will bond, with higher bond order indicating stronger bond

Negative or 0 bond order indicates that the molecules will not bond

if there is an unpaired electron in the MO diagram it shows that the object is paramagnetic (so it experiences magnetic forces).
If all electrons are paired in the MO diagram it shows the object is diamagnetic

The pressure at which dynamic equilibrium is achieved between the vaporization of a liquid and the condensation of the liquid it comes from.

When volume is changed this balance is temporarily ruined before more or less gas disolves into the liquid, returning it back to equilibrium

Q

What are the 6 transformations a substance can undergo?

A

Fusion: Solid to Liquid
Vaporization: Liquid to Gas
Condensation: Gas to Liquid
Freezing: Liquid to Solid
Sublimation: Solid to Gas
Deposition: Gas to Solid

Q

How do you find the energy required for a substance to change from x temperature to y temperature when there is a phase change

A

Use normal thermochemistry to find energy required for heat change, then use heat of whatever phase change to figure out energy require to change phase.

113
Q

What is heat of hydration and heat of solution?

A

Heat of solution is the overall enthalpy required to mix two substances. It is the heat of hydration + the heat of seperating the solute particles

Heat of hydration is the combined enthalpy of seperating the solvent particles and mixing them with the seperated solute particles

114
Q

How does lattice energy relate to solutions?

A

Enthalpy of solute is equal to -H_lattice

115
Q

What are the different ways of expressing concentration?

A

Molarity: mols of solute/volume of solution (L) : symbol used is (M)
Molality: mols of solute/mass of solvent (kg) : symbol used is (m)
Mass Percent: Mass of solute/mass of solution * 100
Mole Ratio: mols of solute/(mols of solute + mols of solvent)
Parts by Volume: volume of solute / volume of solution
Parts by Mass: mass of solute / mass of solution

Q

What is raoult’s law?

A

Vapor Pressure of Solution = mole fraction of gas * pure vapor pressure of solvent at same temperature

117
Q

How do you calculate the boiling point elevation and freezing point depression due to a solute.

A

Molality * Boiling point elevation constant
and
Molality * Freezing point depression constant

118
Q

What sets molality apart from other measures of concentration?

A

It is unaffected by temperature

119
Q

How do you calculate osmotic pressure?

A

Osmotic Pressure = Molarity * ideal gas constant * temperature in Kelvin

120
Q

What is the van’t hoff factor, how is it calculated, and Whow is it used?

A

The van’t hoff factor is a factor which applies to electrolytes dissolved in water.

It is calculate by taking the
moles of particles in the solution / number of formula units dissolved
aka it is equal to the amount of particles a given molecule dissolves into in water.

The van’t hoff factor is used in with freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure equations. so they become

T_b = imK_b
T_f = imK_f
Osmotic Pressure = iMRT

Q

What is the beer-lambert law?

A

Absorbance = proportionality constant * length of tube traveled through * concentration in molarity
