Chapters 4-6 (Exam 2) Flashcards
How is the periodic table ordered?
In increasing atomic number values
What is a many electron system?
Atoms with more than one electron
What does the Pauli exclusion principle state
No two eletrons in an atom in the gorund state can have the same four quantum numbers; If they have the same n, l, and ml values, the ml, or spin, must be differetn./
What is the Aufban princible
building the periodic table of elemtnets and determining their electron configurations by steps.
What is Hund’s rule
The most stable arrangement of electrons in orbitals of equal energy is the one in which the number of electrons with the same spin is maximized
What are paired electrons called?
Diamagnetic
What are unpaired electrons called?
Paramagnetic
Diamagnetic substances are ______ by magnetic fields
Repelled
Paramagnetic substances are _____ by magnetic fields
Attractred
What are the core electrons
The electrons that make up the noble gas core
What are the valence electrons
The electrons in the outermost occupied shell
What is Nuclear charge (and its symbol)
(Z)It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
What is Effective Nuclear Charge
(Zeff) the actual magnitude of positive charge that is “experienced” by an electron in the atom.
Effective nuclear charge formula
Zeff = Z - o
where o is the shielding constant, greater than zero but smaller than Z.
What is metallic radius
Half the distance between the nuclei of two adjaent, identical metal atoms.
What is covalent radius
Half the distance between adjacent, identical nuclei that are connected by a chemical bond
What is Ionization energy
the minimum energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase
What is a cation and when does it appear
an ion with a net positive charge, it appears when an electron is lost
What is easier to remove, an electron in an s orbital or one in a p orbital
The p orbital is easier to remove, and the s orbital is harder to remove
What’s easier to remove, an electron in a singly-occupied orbital, or an electron in a doubly occupied orbital.
An electron in a doubly occupied orbital is easier to remove, and an electron in a singly occupied orbital is harder to remove
What is electron affinity
Energy released when an atom in the gas phase accepts an electron
How much energy is accepted when a mole of gaseous chlorine atom accepts a mole of electrons
349.0 kJ/mol
What is an anion
An ion whose net charge is negative due to an increase in the number of electrons
Atomic radius ______ from left to right, and _______ from up to down
decreases, increases, largest is bottom left
Whats easier to add, an electron to an s orbital or an electron to a p ortbital
It is easier to add a electron to an s orbital, and harder to add an electron to a p orbital
Whats easier to add, an electron to a empty occupied orbital, or an electron to a single occupied orbital
It is easier to add an electron to an empty orbital, and it is harder to add an electron to a singurly occupied orbital.
Metals tend to:
- be shiny and malleable and ductile
- be good conductors of heat and electricity
- Have low ionization energies (commonly form cations)
Nonmetals tend to:
- vary in color and lack shininess
- Be brittle
- Be poor conductors of heat or electricity
- Have high electron affinities (commonly form anions)
Metallic characteristics _____ from left to right and _______ from top to bottom
decreases, increases
Why do some elements share properties with the elements located down and to the right diagonal to them?
The charge of the densities of their cations are comparable, which would mean they have similar properties.
What is the formula for Coulomb’s law?
F = (Q1 x Q2) / d^2
How can you find out the number of anions in a some groups
Most of the anions that form from elements in Groups 14-17 have charges equal to their groups last digit minus 8
What is an isoelectronic series
A series of two or more species that have identical electron configurations, but different nuclear charges.
In an isoelectronic series, the species with the smallest nuclear change (smallest atomic number, Z) will have the ______ radius
largest
