Chemistry Unit 2 Flashcards
Principle Energy Level
(n), #1-7, #1 is closest to nucleus, #7 is farthest from nucleus
Sublevels
(s, p, d, f) 1st PEL has 1 sublevel (s), 2nd PEL has 2 sublevels (s, p), 3rd PEL has 3 sublevels (s, p, d), 4th-7th PELs have 4 sublevels (s, p, d, f)
How many orbitals do s, p, d, and f have?
s has 1 orbital, p has 3 orbitals, d has 5 orbitals, f has 7 orbitals
Every orbital holds a maximum of _ electrons
2
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Both electrons in the orbitals have opposite spins
Aufbau Principle
Electrons are placed in the lowest energy level possible
Hunds Rule
Every orbital within a sublevels gets one electron before any orbital in that sublevel gets two
Valence Electrons
Electrons in the highest PEL, used in bonding, first lost when forming ions, 8 is the maximum, always come from s and p sublevels
Copper Electron Configuration
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d10
Chromium Electron Configuration
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5
How many valence electrons does chromium have?
1
Excited State
When an element absorbs energy the electrons can jump to a higher energy level must be the exact amount of energy
When is energy given off in the form of light?
When electrons emit energy and fall back from the excited State to the ground state
High energy = ____ wavelength and ____ frequency
Short wavelength and high frequency
Low energy = ____ wavelength and ____ frequency
High wavelength and low frequency
Wavelength
The distance between 2 peaks or troughs (in meters)
Frequency
How often waves pass a given point (in s-1 or Hertz)
Wavelength and frequency have a(n) ____ relationship
Inverse
Continuous Spectrum
Shows all the wavelengths of visible light
Absorption Spectrum
A continuous Spectrum with black lines that represent the energy that was absorbed by an electron to transition between levels
Emission Spectrum
Shows the energy of the light being emitted as the electrons fall back down (black bar with colored lines)
What do the lines do in a hydrogen emission spectrum?
Lines converge at higher energy
