Exam 2 Flashcards
All s orbitals are spheres so..
They have no angular dependence on orientation
When does the orbital size increase?
With and increase in the value of quantum number N
All orbitals with an N>= 2 have…?
A subs hell containing 3 P orbitals
What is a node?
A plane in which the probability of finding an electron is 0 (zero electron density)
How many nodes does each orbital, s, p and d have?
1S=0 because 2s and 3s have radial nodes
P=1
D=2
For the same N value what is the relationship between P and S orbitals and PE?
With the same number N a P orbital will have higher PE because the electron density is farther from the nucleus
What is an orbital?
The electron occupies a 3 dimensional space called an orbital
What does an orbital show about the electron?
The volume of where the electron is 90% of the time
Tell me about the density of the 1s orbital
It’s greatest at its nucleus
What is the Aufbau Principal?
Electrons are placed in the lowest energy orbitals and each orbital can only obtain 2 electrons that are spin paired (opp)
What is the trend for probability density?
Highest at the Nucleus and lowest away
In general what is a shell?
Refers to an energy level
When are electrons in the same shell?
Electrons are in the same shell if they have the same N value and same type of orbital (s,p,d,f)
Each orbital has different energy
As N increases what does E do?
Increase
What type of cations do S block elements form?
Monoatomic cations by losing all their outer shell electrons leaving it with the electron configuration of the Noble Gas directly preceding it
What kind of anion does a P block element form?
A monoatomic anion by gaining enough electrons to fill its valence shell and has the configuration of the noble gas at the end of its row
What is an isoelectric ion?
Ions with the same electron configuration, (Na+,F-,Ne)
What do electrons in orbitals with the highest N values do?
They ionize first and are farther from the nucleus. So as N increases, D increases and thus E increases
What happens to the size of an atom as atomic number increases and you’re going down a group of elements?
Atom size increases
What happens to atom size with an increase in atomic number but going left to right on the table?
Size decreases
Where are the valence electrons?
In the highest energy level ( whatever # is the highest and the orbital containing it)
ANYTHING AFTER THE NOBLE GAS CONFIGURATION
Any element with an electron configuration with that of a noble gas is…?
The most abundant and thus stable
Generally what is the PE of electrons?
Basically 0 because they are infinitely far away from the nucleus
What is ionization energy?
The energy required (KJ / mil) to remove 1 mile of electrons from 1 mile of gas-phase atoms or ions in their ground state
ALWAYS REQUIRES ENERGY TO REMOVE ELECTRONS
How to find the total I.E.
It’s the sum of the ionization energies
Which orbital takes more energy to remove an electron? P or S?
S
What does the repulsion of electrons in electron configurations do?
They have higher energy and thus require less energy to be ionized
Periodic trend of I.E.?
I.E. Decreases from top to bottom of every group on the periodic table
Which orbital: Density decreases as distance increases
S orbital
