Chapter 5 Electrons and Bonding Flashcards
What is a shell
A shell is an energy level, comprised of sub shells called s p d f. The shell number is called the principal quantum number ‘n’
What is an Atomic Orbital
A region around the nucleus that can hold up to two electrons with opposite spins
What shape are s orbitals
The electron cloud is within the shape of a sphere
As the shell number ‘n’ increases, what happens to the radius of its s-orbital
It increases
What shape are p orbitals
Dumb-bell
There 3 orbitals at right angles to eachother
How many electrons can fit in s orbitals

How many s-orbitals are there in each shell from n = 1 onwards
1
How many p-orbitals are there in each shell from n = 2 onwards
3
When overlaped on to 1 diagram, why do the 3, p orbitals extend out further than the nucleus
They have a slightly higher energy
How many d-orbitals are there in each shell from n = 3 onwards
5
How many f-orbitals are there in each shell from n = 4 onwards
7
Which sub-shells are present in shell n = 1
1s
Which sub-shells are present in shell n = 2
2s + 2p
Which sub-shells are present in shell n = 3
3s + 3p + 3d
Which sub-shells are present in shell n = 4
4s + 4p + 4d + 4f
True or false:
4s fills before 3d
True
