Chapter 2 interatomic bonding Flashcards
Some of the following properties are determined by electronic structure
- chemical
- electrical
- thermal
- optical
an atom contains 3 thongs
electrons
protons
neutrons
atomic number
- number of protons in the nucleus of an atoms
-
what is an amu?
atomic mass number 1/12 mass of 12C
atomic weight
wt of 6.022 * 1023 molecules or atonms
1 amu/atom = 1 g/mol
2 models of electronic structure
Bohr’s model
wave mechanical atom model
in electron structure, electrons have wavelike and particle properties. two of the wavelike characteristics are
- electrons are in orbitals defined by a probability
- each orbital at discrete energy level is determined by quantum numbers
quantum number
n =
l =
m<em>l = </em>
ms =
n = principal ( energy level shell, size, average distance)
l = subsidiary (subshell, shape)
m<em>l = </em>magnetic (number of obitals)
ms = spin
electron energy states
electron states filling orbitals
electron configurations

survey of elements
valence electrons
those in unfilled shells
are the most available for bonding and tend to control the chemical properties

the periodic table
electronegativity
is a measure of an atom’s ability to attract shared electrons to itself.
