DAT Gen Chem Atomic and Molecular structure Flashcards
are closest to
the positively charged nucleus.
core electrons
which electrons are the most stable and are lowest in energy.
core electrons
Changing the number of neutrons of an atom, leaving protons the same
isotope
what produces ions
changing the number of electrons
elements within a compound always combine in
a fixed proportion.
law of constant composition
the molecules undergo
rearrangement to produce a physical change.
physical reaction
involve
the substances undergoing a chemical change
whereby a new substance is created.
chemical reaction
when two or
more atoms or molecules combine to form
a single compound.
synthesis rxn
when a
compound breaks down into two or more
products.
decomposition rxn
when
one element is replaced by another in a
compound.
single displacement rxn
exchange
of bonds between two reacting chemical
species.
double displacement rxn
common types of double displacement
neutralization
and precipitation reactions.
when a
substance reacts with O2 gas to produce
light and heat.
conbustion
Represents the main energy level
occupied by electrons.
principle quantum number
Is a positive integer, greater than or
equal to 1.
principle quantum number (n)
maximum number of electrons
that an electron shell can hold is
given by the formula:
2n squared
Describes the shape of the subshells
or the orbital shape within each
principal energy level
Azimuthal Quantum Number (l)
possible values of the azimuthal
quantum number
all integers between 0 and n-1
l=0
s subshell
l=1
p subshell
l=2
d subshell
l=3
f subshell
how many e can s sub shell hold
2
how many e can p sub shell hold
6
how many e can d sub shell hold
10
how many e can f sub shell hold
14
which orbital is spherical
s
which orbital is shaped like dumbbells
p
Describes the orientation of
orbitals in space.
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)
The magnetic quantum number
ranges between
the negative and
positive magnitude of the azimuthal
quantum number.
Describes the angular momentum of
an electron.
Spin Quantum Number (ms)
Spin Quantum Number (ms) denoted as either
+1/2 or -1/2
states that no two electrons in an
atom can have the exact same set of four
quantum numbers.
Pauli’s Exclusion
Principle
s sub shell has how many orbitals
