Q

Coulomb’s Law

A

describes the attractions and repulsions between charged particles:
for like charges, the potential energy is positive and decreases as the particles get farther apart as r increases
for opposite charges, the potential energy is negative and becomes more negative as the particles get closer together
the strength of the interaction increases as the size of the charges increases
E is proportional to (q1q2)/r

Q

shielding

A

the repulsions by other electrons in an atom cause an electron to experience a net reduction in attraction to the nucleus (the electron does not experience the full attraction by protons in the nucleus because the other electrons in the atom are interfering/blocking the attractive forces)

Q

the periodic table is divisible into four blocks corresponding to

A

the filling of the four quantum sublevels (s, p, d, and f)

30
Q

the group number of a main group element is equal to

A

the number of valence e-s for that element

31
Q

the row number of a main group element is equal to

A

the highest principal quantum number of that element

32
Q

because of level splitting, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel; therefore the ? fills before the ?

A

4s orbital, 3d orbital

33
Q

some transition metals have irregular e- configs (anomalies) in which

A

the ns only partially fills before the (n-1)d or doesn’t fill at all (ex: Cr, Mo, Cu, Ag); these anomalies happen when an s electron jumps to a d orbital to created a half-filled or completely filled sublevel

34
Q

noble gases

A
  1. 8 valence electrons (except for He, which only has 2)

2. especially nonreactive (because the electron configurations are especially stable)

35
Q

the metals (general)

A

make up majority of the elements in the periodic table

  1. alkali metals
  2. alkaline earth metals
  3. transition and inner transition metals
  4. p-block metals
36
Q

alkali metals

A
  1. have one more electron than the previous noble gas and occupy the first column
  2. in their reactions, the alkali metals lose one e- and the resulting e- config is the same as that of a noble gas
37
Q

alkaline earth metals

A
  1. they have two or more electrons than the previous noble gas and occupy the second column
  2. in their reactions, they lose two e-s and the resulting e- config is the same as that of a noble gas
38
Q

transition and inner transition metals

A
  1. located in the d-block area of the PT

2. in chemical reactions, they will lose e-s from s and then d orbitals to form cations

39
Q

p-block metals

A
  1. located in the p-block area (left-hand side of the metalloids) of the PT
  2. in chemical reactions, they will lose e-s from the s and p orbitals to form cations
40
Q

metalloids

A
  1. located in the p-block area of the PT between the metal and nonmetal elements
  2. can exhibit metallic or nonmetallic behaviors in chemical reactions
  3. can either lose e-s from p and then s orbitals to form cations or gain e-s in their p orbitals to form anions
41
Q

nonmetals

A
  1. located in the upper right-hand side of the PT in the p-block area
  2. in chemical reactions, nonmetal elements will gain electrons in the p orbitals, resulting in their ions having the same electron configuration as a noble gas at the same end of their period/row
  3. form anions
42
Q

halogens

A
  1. nonmetals
  2. have one fewer e- than the next noble gas
  3. in their reactions with metals, they tend to gain an e- and attain the e- config of the next noble gas, forming an anion
  4. in their reactions w/ nonmetals, they tend to share e-s with the other nonmetal so that each attains the e- config of a noble gas
43
Q

metals form ? and nonmetals form ?

A

cations, anions

44
Q

Zeff (increases/decreases) as you go across a period and (increases/decreases) as you descend down a column

A

increases; decreases

45
Q

Zeff =

A

Z (nuclear charge) - S (the number of e-s in lower energy levels)

46
Q

atomic radius (increases/decreases) across a period because

A

decreases; adding e-s to the same valence shell, Zeff increases across a period, valence shell held closer

47
Q

atomic radius (increases/decreases) down a group because

A

increases; valence shell farther distance from nuclear; Zeff decreases down a group

48
Q

paramagnetism

A

electron configurations that result in unpaired electrons means that the atom or ion will have a net magnetic field; will be attracted to a magnetic field

49
Q

diamagnetism

A

electron configurations that result in all paired electrons mean that the atom or ion will have no magnetic field; will be slightly repelled by a magnetic field

50
Q

cation radius is (bigger/smaller) than its corresponding atom radius because

A

smaller; the loss of e-s results in the remaining e-s in the atom experiencing a larger Zeff than the neutral atom; traversing down a group increases the (n-1) level, causing the cations to get larger; traversing to the right across a period increases the effective nuclear charge for isoelectronic cations, causing the cations to get smaller

51
Q

anion radius is (larger/smaller) than its corresponding atom radius because

A

larger; when atoms form anions, e-s are added to the valence shell, and these new valence e-s experience a smaller Zeff than the old valence e-s; traversing down a group increases the n level, causing the anions to get larger; traversing to the right across a period increases the Zeff for isoelectronic anions, causing the anions to get smaller

52
Q

in general, ion size (increases/decreases) down the column

A

increases

53
Q

cations are smaller than anions except

A

Rb^+ and Cs^+, which are bigger than or the same size as F^- and O^2-

54
Q

isoelectronic

A

same electron configuration

55
Q

ionization energy

A

the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from an atom or ion in the gas phase; an endothermic process

56
Q

first ionization energy

A

energy to remove e- from neutral atom; all atoms have this

M(g) + IE1 > M^1+(g) + 1e-

57
Q

second ionization energy

A

energy to remove an e- from a 1+ ion

M^1+(g) + IE2 > M^2+(g) + 1e-

58
Q

the larger the effective nuclear charge on the electron to be removed, the (more/less) energy it takes to remove it

A

more

59
Q

the farther the electron most probably is from the nucleus, the (more/less) energy it takes to remove

A

less

60
Q

first ionization energies trend

A

first IE decreases down the group; first IE increases across the period

61
Q

exceptions to the first ionization energy trend are ? and are usually a result of ?

A

2A to 3A and 5A to 6A; the type of orbital (s, p, d, f) and its shielding ability, repulsion factors associated with the electrons occupying degenerate orbitals (i.e., p orbitals)

62
Q

trends in second and successive ionization energies

A

they depend on the number of valence electrons an element has; the removal of each successive electron costs more energy; regular increase in energy for each successive valence e-; large increase in energy when core e-s are removed

63
Q

electron affinity

A

the energy associated with the addition of an electron to the valence shell of an atom that is in the gas phase; defined as exothermic but may actually be endothermic
M(g) + 1e- > M^-1(g) + EA

64
Q

the more energy that is released (the more ? the number), the ? the EA

A

negative; larger

65
Q

electron affinities general trend for main group elements

A

EA increases as across a period (becomes more negative from left to right); Halogens have the highest EA for any period

66
Q

characteristics of metals

A

malleable, ductile; shiny, lustrous, reflect light; conduct heat and electricity; most oxides basic and ionic; form cations in solution; lose electrons in reactions - oxidized

67
Q

characteristics of nonmetals

A

brittle in solid state; dull, nonreflective, solid surface; electrical and thermal insulators; most oxides acidic and molecular; form anions and polyatomic anions; gain e-s in reactions - reduced

68
Q

metallic character

A

how closely an element’s properties match the ideal properties of a metal

69
Q

metallic character trends

A

decreases L to R across a period; increases down the column

70
Q

metallic elements

A

ionization energy decreasing down the column; very low IEs
