Q

The ground state electron configuration of any element can be determined by following three rules of electron filling. What are they and how do they determine the location of electrons in an atom?

A

Aufbau principle fill lower energy levels in sub levels before adding electrons to higher energy sublevels.

**Pauli exclusion **principle there is a maximum of two electrons per orbital, and they must have opposite spins.

**Huns rule **half filled orbitals of equal energy before pairing electrons in any one orbital in a given sub shell.

Q

What are the five periodic trends?

A

Atomic size, first ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, acidity/basicity.

20
Q

What are three types of covalent bonds?

A

Normal (which can be polar or nonpolar), metallic, and coordinate covalent bonds.

21
Q

Give to other names for Lewis bases.

A

Ligand, nucleophile, or chelator

22
Q

What three geometric family names are associated with each type of hybridized orbitals?

A

Linear= Sp
Trigonal planar= sp2
Tetrahedral= sp3

23
Q

Name the various intermolecular forces from strongest weakest.

A

Hydrogen bonds > dipole-dipole forces > London dispersion forces.

24
Q

Give two examples of elements that do not obey the Aufbau principle.

A

Chromium (Cr) and it’s family members or copper (Cu) and it’s family members.

25
Q

Which electrons do transition metal atoms lose first when ionized?

A

Valance “S” electrons

26
Q

Explain the difference between paramagnetic and diamagnetic elements, and give an example of each.

A

Paramagnetic elements have unpaired electrons like nitrogen (N).

**Diamagnetic **elements have all their electrons paired like Ne or any element with a field orbital sub shell.

27
Q

What happens to the spacing between successively higher energy levels in an atom as you move farther from the nucleus?

A

it decreases

28
Q

Describe each kind of nuclear decay

A

A= nucleus emits helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons)

**B- = **a neutron converts into a proton and the electron, e- which is emitted

B+ = a proton converts into a neutron in the pro positron, e+ which is emitted

**EC= **a proton in the nucleus captures an inner shell electron and converts it into a neutron.

gamma= excited nucleus drops to a lower energy state by admitting a gamma photon

29
Q

What type of mathematical relationship is associated with all radioactive decay?

A

Radioactive elements decay exponentially with respect to time.

30
Q

Why is the mass of a nucleus not equal to the mass of the individual protons and neutrons that comprise it?

A

The binding energy that is released when the nucleons are bound together in the nucleus comes from the mass defect according to E=mc2

31
Q

Define each periodic trend

A

Atomic radius: extent of the valence electrons of an atom.

Ionization energy: energy required to remove a mole of valence electrons from a mole of gaseous atoms of a given element.

**Electron affinity: **Energy associated with adding a mole of electrons to the valence shell of a mole of gaseous atoms of a given element.

Electronegativity: a measure of the amount of pull an atom has on shared valence electrons in a bond.

Acidity: the tendency for a molecule to give up a hydrogen ion.

32
Q

Which three periodic trends follow the same pattern?

A

First ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. They are all inversely related to atomic size.

33
Q

What charge is generally associated with larger ions? And with smaller ions?

A

Generally, negative ions are larger and positive ions are smaller (than a neutral atom)

34

A

By frequency Red< orange< yellow< green< blue< violet

35
Q

A

By wavelength, gamma rays <x-rays< ultraviolet< visible light< infrared< microwaves< radio waves.

36
Q

What are the key characteristics about photons an electron energy levels?

A
  1. A product of the wavelength and frequency of a photon is equal to 3.0 x 10^8 m/s
  2. The difference in energy between adjacent energy levels decreases as the energy level increase
  3. Energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency
37
Q

Explain d subshell and whhy its backfilled

A

For an atom in the d block of period n, the d sub shell will have a principal quantum number of n-1.

the product of the wavelength and frequency of a photon is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s.

the difference in energy between adjacent energy levels decreases as the energy levels increase.

the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency.
40
Q
