Barron Flashcards
Principal quantum number (n) / shell
Related to average distance of the electron from the nucleus
Sublevel / subshell (l)
Values range from 0 to n-1
Value designates the sub level and represents shape of the orbitals
Sub level numbers (1) and letters
0, s
1, p
2, d
3, f
Orbital
Region of space with high electron density (s p d f according to the sublevel)
Formula for number of orbitals in a sublevel (azimuthal quantum number)
2l + 1
Magnetic quantum number (ml)
An integer from -l to l that designates the orientation of the orbital in space
Spin quantum number (ms)
+-1/2
Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers
Hund’s Rule
p, d, or f orbitals in a sublevel must all be filled with an electron before a second electron can pair in any orbital
Allotrope
An element with two or more distinct sets of chemical and physical properties
Example - O2 and O3 are allotropes of oxygen
Trend in melting and boiling points of metals
Decrease from top to bottom of a group
Trend in melting and boiling points of nonmetals
Increase from top to bottom of a group
