Final Exam Review (Chp 1-9) Part 2 Flashcards
specification of energy and probability density of an electron at any point in an atom or molecule
orbitals
state in which the energy of a physical system is well defines by quantum mechanics
energy-level
applies to any quantized property of a particle
ground state
process through which one substance permeates another
absorption
an atom, ion, or molecule with an electron in a higher than normal energy level than its ground state
excitation state
pattern of lines formed when light passes through a prism to separate it into the dfferent frequencies of light it contains
emission
when sufficiently energetic charged particles or radiant energy travel through gases, liquids, or solids
ionization (electron leaves atom)
size of atom determines by size of all the orbitals
atomic radius
measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
electronegativity
what does the law of conservation of mass help us do
write balanced equations
What does Hess’s law help us find?
standard enthalpy of reaction and standard enthalpy of formation
group of two or more atoms that form the smallest unit of a pure substance
molecule
compound formed by ions bonding together through electrostatic forces
ionic compound
pattern formed by the points and used to represent the positions of these repeating structural elements
crystal lattice
measure of strength of ionic bonds in ionic compound
lattice energy
compound in which the atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons
covalent compound
bond that involves sharing of electron pairs between atoms
covalent bond
when electrons are equally shared
nonpolar covalent bond
what does the law of multiple proportions state
when two elements form more than one compound, the ratio of the different masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are a ratio of small whole numbers
