Electron Configuration Flashcards
1
Q
how does electron configuration explain periodic table trends?
A
the max # of e- in s, p, d, f sublevels corresponds to the # of columns in s, p, d, f blocks on periodic table
2
Q
how do electron configurations explain ion charges?
A
-transition metals with multiple charges
-when they loose charges
3
Q
what elements are ferromagnetic
A
-iron
-nickel
-cobalt
4
Q
what properties of ferromagnetic
A
-strongly magnetic
-based on the properties of a collection of atoms
-orient themselves with domains (N poles in same direction)
5
Q
what makes electrons Paramagnetic
A
-weakly magnetic elements with
-unpaired e-
-cannot form domains
