Electrons & Bonding Flashcards
What are the 4 types of orbitals?
S, p, d and f
What different types of shape does each orbital have?
S orbital = sphere
P orbital = dumbbell Px, Py and Pz
How many orbitals does s, p, d and f have?
S = 1
P = 3
D = 5
F = 7
How many subshells are in s, p, d and f orbital?
S = 1s
P = 2s + 2p
D = 3s + 3p + 3d
F = 4s + 4p + 4d + 4f
What increases as shell number increases?
Energy level
How are spins drawn in an orbital?
Opposite spins
How are the spins drawn in a p-orbital?
One electron occupies each orbital before pairing starts
What is the electron configuration for Li?
1s2 2s1
What is the shorthand notation for electron configuration of Li?
[He] 2s1
What is ionic bonding?
The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
What is the overall structure of an ionic compound?
Giant ionic lattice
What is the melting and boiling point like for ionic bonding?
High mp and bp to provide enough energy to overcome strong electrostatic attraction between ions
Why is there a higher melting point for lattices with a greater charge on ions?
Because the attraction between ions are stronger
Are ionic compounds soluble?
Only in polar solvents (water) by surrounding each ion
What 2 main processes does solubility require?
- Ionic lattice must be broken down
- Water molecules must attract and surround the ions
