Chapter 10 energy chapter 11 Electron Configurations Flashcards
energy
the ability to do work or produce heat
potential energy
energy due to position
kinetic energy
energy due to movement
law of conservation
states that energy can be converted from form to another but can be neither created or destroyed.
temperature
is a measure of the random motions of the components of a substance. It is the average kinetic energy of a substance’s particles.
Temperature is measure in c or K.
Heat
is the energy transfer from one object to another. Energy is transferred from the hotter object to the colder object. heat is measured in calories or joules.
Endothermic reactions
absorb heat from the surrounding. Heat of the reaction is positive (+). example: heat liquid water to boiling
exothermic reactions
release heat to the surrounding. Heat of the reaction is negative (-). Example: lighting a match.
calorie
is the amount of energy (heat) required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 celsius degree.
1 calorie
1 calorie =4.184 Joules
Specific heat
is the amount of energy required to change the temperature of one gram of a substance by one celsius degree.
specific heat capacity
is used to calculate the heat required to increase the temperature of a given amount of a substance.
specific heat formula
Q= m x s x ^T q= heat required (can be positive or negative m= mass of substance s= specific heat of substance ^T= change in temp ( final temp- initial temp)
Periods or rows
in the periodic table represent the energy levels possible for electrons. you find 2 elements in period 1 so that the 1st principle energy level can hold 2 electrons. 8 elements are found in period 2, therefore the 2nd principle energy level hold 8 electrons.
2 elements in period one so the 1st principle energy level
can hold 2 electrons
8 elements are found in period 2
therefore the 2nd principle energy level holds 8 electrons
Bohr Model of the Atom
- nucleus contains the protons and neutrons
- electrons are found outside of the nucleus in circular orbits at varying energy levels,
Wave Mechanical Model
- using this model electrons are found in orbitals not orbits.
- an orbital is a regions where an electron can most probably be found.
- they move in all directions, not just a circular orbit.
- each orbital can hold 2 electrons.
each energy level can be broken down
into sublevels
4 types of sublevels
s: 1 orbital - contains 2 electrons
p: 3 orbitals - contains 6 electrons
d: 5 orbitals - contains 10 electrons
f: 7 orbitals - contain 14 electrons (these we are not going to look at)
Electron configuration
You can write electron configurations for any elemet using the energy level sublevels and number of electrons found in each sublevel.
Valence electrons
the electrons found in the outer most energy level.
the number of valence electrons determines the chemical properties of the element.
-the noble gases in group 18 are non-reactive because they have a full outer energy level (octet).
-all of the other groups of elements want to have an octet, so they gain, lose or share electrons with other elements.
the number of valence electrons determine
the chemical properties of the elements.
noble gases in group 18
are not reactive because they have a full energy level.(octet)
