chapter 1 part 2 Flashcards
energy state
a sublevel where an electron or two can reside
solution to a wave functions
positive, negative or ze3ro
constructive interference
wave functions with the same phase sign interact= reinforcing affect; amplitude increases
destructive interference
wave functions with opposite phases interact and there is a subtractive effect; the amplitude of the wave function goes into zero or the sign chances
orbital
region of space with a high probability of finding an electron
energy of the 1st and 2nd principal shells
-electrons in 1s orbital have the lowest energy
-electrons in 2p orbitals have equal but higher energy than 2s
degenerate orbitals
orbitals of equal energy
aufbau principle
orbitals are filled so that the ones of the lowest energy are filled first
pauli exclusion principle
maximum of two electrons may be placed in each orbital but only when the spins of the electrons are paired
hund rule
degenerate orbitals are given one electron with their spins unpaired until each of them contains one electron then you add second electrons to each degenerate so that the spins are paired
atonic orbitals
one or two electrons on an atom are likley to be found
molecular orbial
where electrons on a molecule are likley to be found
what happens when atomic orbitals combine to form molecular obritals
the number of molecular orbitals that results always equals the number of atomic orbitals that combine
bonding molecular orbital
two orbitals of the same phase overlap
antibonding molecular orbital
two orbitals of opposite phase interact
