What orbital are radial nodes associated with?
s orbital
What is the equation to find the number of radial nodes?
n - 1 - L
What is an angular/planar node?
A single plane that electrons cannot cross
What type of node is a singular plane that electrons cannot cross?
Angular/planar
What is the equation to find # angular nodes?
L or abolsute value of m
What is a conical node?
Two cones in the d-orbital
What is the node that is associated with a d-orbital?
Conical
What is the equation to find # conical nodes?
L - |m|
What orbital are angular nodes associated with?
P-orbital
What is the equation for total nodes?
n - 1
What is the n quantum number mean?
Number of orbitals, labels them as shells
What does the L quantum number mean?
Angular momentum quantity, describes shape of orbitals
Equation to find L-orbital
N-1
What is the m quantum number?
Magnetic quantum number
How do you find m numbers?
Every value of L, + and - and zero, 2L+1
What is the s quantum number?
Spin of electron, +1/2 is spin up and -1/2 is spin down
What quantum number do energy depend on?
N and L values, lower n is lower energy
What is paramagnetic and diamagnetic?
Paramagnetic means unpaired electron exists
What equation approximates the energy?
N+L
Description of sigma bond (5 points)
S orbital, single bond, largest energy gap, no node, will switch with pi if hybridization
Description of pi bond (5 points)
P orbital, double bond, second largest energy gap, one node, will switch with sigma if hybridization
