Chapter 7 Electron Config

Question 1

Pseudo-noble gas configuration

Answer 1

-Attained when a metal empties its highest energy level
-Ions attain stability from empty ns and np sub levels and a filled (n-1)d sublevel

Question 2

Inert pair configuration

Answer 2

-Metal loses only the np electrons
-Ions attain stability of a filled ns and (n-1)d sublevels

Question 3

Paramagnetism

Answer 3

Species with one or more unpaired electron
-is attracted by a magnetic field

Question 4

Diamagnetism

Answer 4

Species with all electrons paired
-not attracted (and is slightly repelled) by magnetic field

Question 5

Isoelectric series

Answer 5

Series of ions that have the same electron configuration

Question 6

Ionization Energy

Answer 6

The energy required for the complete removal of 1mol of electrons from 1mol of gaseous atoms or ions

Question 7

Electron Affinity

Answer 7

The energy change that occurs when 1mol of electrons is added to 1mol of gaseous atoms or ions
