3s > 3p > 4s> 3d > 4p >5s

24
Q

Periodic table:
Groups
Blocks
Period

A

Periods: Down the periodic table; Similar properties; valence sub shells
Blocks - last orbital to be filled
Groups - across the periodic table; trend in properties; valence e-

25
Q

Atomic radius _______ across the period because ?

Attraction between nucleus and outer electrons __________

A
  • Decreased
  • Nucleus charge increase; Valence e- added onto the same shell
  • Increased
26
Q

Atomic radius _______ down the groups because ?

Attraction between nucleus and outer electrons __________

A
  • Increased
  • More no of sub shells added, valence e- is further from the nucleus with greater shielding
  • Decreased
27
Q

Group 1 has (how many) valence e-
Group 2 has (how many) valence e-
Group 7 has (how many) valence e-

A

Group 1 - 1 e-
Group 2 - 2 e-
Group 7 - 5 e- (because they have a p valence orbital) (They have 7 outer shell e- , 1 short from the electronic configuration of noble gas)

28
Q

For Group 1 & 2 elements, reactivity ________ down each group
For Group 7, reactivity ________ down each group

A
  • Increase

- Decrease

29
Q

Noble gas

A

Full filled outer shell, s2 p6 electronic configuration

Non reactive

30
Q

Electro- negativity

A

Measure of attraction of an atom for the shared e- in the chemical bond. It is related to the ionisation energy

31
Q

Group 1 & 2 elements are strong _______ agents, they tend to ______
Group 7 elements are strong _______ agents, they tend to ________

A
  • reducing agents/ oxidise

- oxidising agents/ reduce

32
Q

Transition metal

A
  • d block element
  • Metal/ good electricity conductors because of their lattice structure and the sea of e- / Mostly hard, shiny, solid
  • Mercury is an exceptional example
33
Q

Dative bond /Co-ordinate bond

A

e- pairs donors

34
Q

Octet Rule

A

Atoms try to fill its valence shell/ achieve the s2 p6 electronic configuration to become stable

35
Q

Intramolecular Force (Interactive bond)

A
  • Bonding between molecules: ionic/ metallic/ covalent

- Affects chemical properties

36
Q

Intermolecular force (Attractive bond)

A
  • Bonding within the molecule: hydrogen/ permanent Dipole Dipole interactions/ Van de Waal’s force
  • Affects physical properties
37
Q

Which elements are most likely to form hydrogen bonding

A

H (delta +) - O/ F/ N (delta -)

38
Q

ionisation energy

A

Ability (Energy needed) for the atom to lost its electrons

39
Q

Hybridisation

A
  • Overlap of two different energy level of orbitals

- Has the properties of the mixed orbitals

40
Q

No of orbits at each sub level (s, p, d, f)

A

s- 1 / p- 3 / d- 5 / f- 7

41
Q

valency

A

no of e- in the valence shell

42

cation

A

+ve ions; tend to be metals

43
Q

anion

A
  • ve ions; tends to be non-metals
44
Q

2 p^6

where to find the element in the periodic table?

A

2- period
p - block
6 - group within block

45
Q

polyatomic ion

A

ion with different element

46
Q

homonuclear combination

A

atoms of the same element

47
Q

What is sigma bond

A

overlap of two orbitals - head to head > s- s / s - p

Overlap of two s orbitals > s- s

48
Q

What is pi bond

A

over lap of p orbitals - side to side > p - p

49
Q

dipole

A

uneven distribution of e-

50
Q

pi bond has more energy than sigma bond. why?

A

the overlap of orbitals

p orbital e- has more energy than s orbital e-

51
Q

same repel, opposite attract

A

True

52
Q

Like dissolve like

A

True

53
Q

If a pair of shared e- is pulled closer to one of the atom. Describe it

A

Unevenly shared e- = unequal distribution of negative e- charge (e- density)

54
Q

Triple covalent bond is more reactive and stronger than single bond T/F

A

False

Triple bond is more reactive and has more energy as in higher e- density BUT NOT stronger

55
Q

Electronegativity range of values

A

0 - 0.4 > non- polar covalent (no dipole)
0.4- 1.7 > polar covalent (Dipole) (more polar / less polar)
> 1.7 - ionic
