atomic structure Flashcards
Z
atomic number, # protons, goes bottom left
A
mass number, + protons and neutrons, goes top left
utility of mass number
gives mass of atom in amu and mass of mole of atoms in grams
1 carbon = 12 amu
1 mol carbon = 12 g
electron energy has _____ energy when further away from nucleus
higher
formula for the energy of a photon/quantum
E = hf = hc/lamda
formula for angular momentum of an electron
L = nh/2pi
formula for energy of the electron
E = - RH/n^2
energy is ______ proportional to principle quantum number
directly
formula relating energy of electron to that of photon emitted when that electron goes down in energy level
E = hf = -RH(1/ni^2 - 1/nf^2)
absorption spectrum looks the same as the
emission spectrum
heisenberg uncertainty principle
can’t know position and momentum with perfect accuracy at the same time
maximum number of electrons within a shell
2n^2 where n is the principle quantum number
principle quantum number
n
azimuthal quantum number
angular momentum, l
possible values of l
0 to (n-1)
if l = 1, what general subshell?
p
if l = 0, what general subshell?
s
if l = 2, what general subshell?
d
if l = 3, what general subshell?
f
if n=4 and l=2, what subshell are we in?
4d
ml represents
particular orbital within subshell in which an electron is most likely to be found
ml is the ____ quantum number
magnetic
for any n, there are this many orbitals
n^2
number of possible values of ml
2l + 1
what the possible values of ml are
from -l…0…l
aufbau principle
electrons fill from lower-to-higher
hund’s
bus seats
electron configuration of chromium
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5
states most stable
1/2 filled or completely filled
attracted to magnetic field
paramagnetic
attracted to magnetic field when
electrons are unpaired (electrons have no friends, so they reach out to the magnetic field)
valence electrons of transition elements live in
highest s and d subshells, though their principal quantum numbers will differ
electron configuration Hf
Xe4f145d26s2
electron configuration Pm
Xe4f56s2
valence electrons of transition elements of act/lan live
in highest s and f subshells, though their principal quantum number may be different
violate octet rule
all elements in period three (starting with Na) and below, fill empty d orbitals
