atomic structure and bonding Flashcards
what is a mass spectrometer
machine that measures the mass + abundance of particles
what does the hydrogen emission spectrum show
shows there are specific energy levels that have patterns
what are the 2 evidences for ions
migration of ions
x-ray diffraction
what is migration of ions
wet filter paper with coloured ions in has a charge flowing through it
if colours move, they must be charged ions, not neutral atoms
what is x-ray diffraction
x ray tube shoots a beam through a crystal and shield
this displays where the ions are
gaps show repulsion and therefore charge
what does an s orbital look like
spherical
centred on the nucleus
come on their own
what are the 4 orbitals in order
S
P
D
F
what does a p orbital look like
at right angles
come in sets of 3
what do d orbitals look like
come in sets of 5
what do f orbitals look like
come in sets of 7
what orbitals do al atoms have
all
what is Aufbaus’s rule
fill orbitals from lowest energy
what is Pauli’s rule
two electrons sharing an orbital have opposite spin while orbiting
what is the acception for filling orbitals
fill 4s orbital before the 3d orbitals
also lose 4s before 3d if +ion
what is Hund’s rule
degenerate orbitals fill singly, before pairing up
where do the orbitals goon the periodic table
ionic structure -ions in the lattice
+ions and -ions alternate
in a giant ionic lattice
ion conductivity needs
high conductivity in liquid or aqueous states
no conductivity in solid states
ionic bonding definitions
electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
what does ionic charge depend on 2
- charges of each ion
-radii of each ion
properties of simple molecules
low MP
don’t conduct
some soluble in water
define dative covalent bond
electrostatic attraction between positively charged nuclei of bonding atoms and shared pair of electrons where both electrons come from the same atom
when expanding octets, why are 2 extra bonds made
energy needed to promote 3d-3s is less than the energy released when 2 extra bonds form
order of bonds energy in carbon
as number of bonds increase, bond energy increases
2 factors that affect covalent bonds strength
number of bonds and size of atoms
why do bigger atoms form weaker covalent bonds
bigger atoms
longer bonds
further from nucleus
attraction is weaker
bonds is weaker
define structure of metals
giant metallic lattice
define bonding in metals
electrostatic attraction between positive metal cations and a negatively charged sea of delocalised electrons
what does the strength of metallic bonding depend on 3
cation charge
cation radius (smaller means stronger)
number of delocalised electrons
why can metals conduct
delocalised electrons are free to move throughout the structure
why are metals malleable
layers of metal ions cam slide over each other without disruption the bonding
what is VSEPR
valence (shell) electron - pair repulsion
what shape has minimum pair repulsion
2-6 pair shapes
what would 2 pairs
look like
be called
angle sizes
linear
what would 3 pairs
look like
be called
angle sizes
trigonal planar
