Chapter 7 & 8 Flashcards
Enables us to label completely an electron in any orbital in any atom
The Four Quantum Numbers (n , l , mₗ , mₛ)
What are the Address of an electron in an atom
The four quantum numbers
Atoms
Is The smallest unit of matter that can’t be broken down chemically
Can an atom be broken down ?
Yes, an atom can be broken down, but not chemically
Proton
A positively charged charged subatomic particle
Electron
A Negatively charged charged subatomic particle
Neutron
A subatomic particle with no Charge
Atomic mass (A) =
protons + neutrons
Atomic Number (Z) =
of Protons or Electrons
The four quantum numbers
Shorthand
The four quantum numbers
Describes the charistarics of electrons position
The four quantum numbers
predicts an electron behavior
n
Principal quantum number
Principal quantum number ( n )
All orbitals with the same n are in the same shell
Principal quantum number ( n )
describes the energy level of an e-
l
Secondary quantum number
Secondary quantum number
describes the shape orbital where e- is found
Secondary quantum number
Divides shells into smaller groups called subshells
mₗ
magnetic quantum number
magnetic quantum number
divides shells into individual orbitals
mₛ
Magnetic spin quantum number
Magnetic spin quantum number
describes the angular momentum of an electron (e- spin)
only takes positive integer values
n
increasing n increases the ..
Size of an orbital
