Chapter 9 Flashcards
what are the 3 transition metal exceptions to electron configurations?
Cu, Ag, and Au form S1d10 E.C. instead of expected s2d9
periodic trends: atomic radii
F smallest, Cs biggest
period trend: metallic
same as size: F least, Cs most metallic
periodic trend: first ionization energy & electron affinity
opposite from size/metallic
[increases up, to the right]
diamagnetic
all e- paired
paramagnetic
has 1 + unpaired e-
cations are much ______ than their corresponding atoms
smaller
[lose electrons]
anions are much ______ than their corresponding atoms
bigger
[gain electrons, orbitals]
a cation of +2 indicates that an element has :
lost 2 electrons
k + e- > k-. this represents:
electron affinity of K
a covalent bond is formed through the sharing of
electrons between atoms
a pair of electrons not shared is referred to as a
lone pair
single bonds are _____ than double bonds
longer
in a covalent bond, the shared electrons interact with nuclei of both bonding atoms, thus
lowering their potential energy
what are the possible orbitals for N=4?
S, P, D, F.
[L = 0,1,2,3]
