26
Q

how many electrons can each orbital hold

A

2

27
Q

what is the pauli exclusion principle

A

no two e- can have the same set of 4 quantum numbers

28

what l values correlate to subshells?

A

l = 0, s
l = 1, p
l = 2, d
l = 3, f

29

A

n - 1

31
Q

A

32
Q

diamagnetic definition

A

all e- are paired

33
Q

paramagnetic definition

A

at least one unpaired e-

34
Q

isoelectronic definition

A

same #e-

35
Q

isovalent definition

A

same #valence e-

36
Q

what are degenerate orbitals

A

having the same energy

37
Q

what is effective nuclear charge

A

Zeff
- strength of the e- – nucleus interaction
- = Z (atomic number) - # core e-
- increases from left to right
- increases as electron subshell level decreases

38
Q

what are the common periodic table trends

A
  • atomic radii (size) increases from right to left and down
  • ionization energy (to remove an e- from a gaseous atom) increases left to right and up
  • electron affinity (energy change with addition of an e- to a neutral gas) more negative left to right and up
  • ionic radii –> anions are larger than cations
39
Q

definition of electronegativity

A

the degree to which an atom can attract an e- in a bond

40
Q

nonpolar covalent bond

A

equal sharing of e- between two identical nonmetal elements

41
Q

polar covalent

A

unequal sharing of e- between two nonmetals
small electronegativity difference

42
Q

ionic

A

metal + nonmetal
e- are transferred to nonmetal
large electronegativity difference

43
Q

as electronegativity increases, what happens to the following?
- bond polarity
- ionic character
- covalent character

A
  • increase
  • increase
  • decrease
44
Q

what is bond order

A

essentially, number of bonds
= # bonds/ # bond locations

45
Q

as bond order increases, what happens to the following?
- bond strength
- bond length
- bond dissociation energy

A
  • increase
  • decrease
  • increase
46
Q

what is formal charge

A

charge on an atom as determined by lewis dot structure
= #valence e- - #e- shown around atom in lewis dot structure

47
Q

what is needed for a lewis dot structure to contribute most in resonance?

A
  • smaller (ideally 0) formal charges
  • more zeros for formal charges
  • if formal charges are equal, the structure with the more negative formal charge on the more electronegative atom
48
Q

electron pair geometry versus molecular geometry

A

EPG:
- geometry including all domains (including lone pairs)
MG:
- refers to actual arrangement of atoms
- does not include lone pairs

49
Q

what is a dipole moment? when does it cancel?

A

dipole moment: measure of molecular polarity
- cancels when bond vectors cancel out –> nonpolar molecule
- when bond vectors create a net vector –> polar molecule

50

A

(#atoms, #lone pairs)
POLAR: (2,1) (3,1) (2,2) (4,1) (3,2) (5,1)
