Final S1 Flashcards
What is the empirical formula?
The simplest whole number ration of elements
What is the molecular formula?
Actual whole number ratio
How do electrons exist around the nucleus?
In orbitals
How do electrons become excited?
Photons of energy is added
How do electrons return to ground state?
They release their added energy as photons (light)
When does ground state occur?
When electrons are in their lowest possible energy level (closest to nucleus)
What is the order of orbitals?
S, p, d, f
What is the trend for ionization energy and why?
Increases from left to right (more vallance electrons)
Increases from bottom to top (fewer energy shells so things are closer to nucleus)
What is ionization energy?
The minimum energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron of an isolated gaseous atom
What is atomic radius/size?
The average distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost electron
What is the trend for atomic radius and why?
Decreases from left to right across a period (more protons, stronger pull inward)
Increases from top to bottom within a group (more energy levels)
Is the atomic radius of a positive ion smaller or larger than the atomic radius of the element?
Smaller
Is the atomic radius of a negative ion larger or smaller than the radius of the element?
Larger
What is electron affinity?
The amount of energy released when an electron attaches to the neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form an anion
What is the trend for electron affinity and why?
Increases left to right (closer to noble gas, so more likely to accept that atom to get to noble gas)
Increases bottom to top (more exothermic and adding an electron releases more energy)
What is bond energy?
The energy required to break a bond
What is an exothermic reaction?
A reaction that releases energy from the system in the form of heat
What is an endothermic reaction?
A reaction that the system absorbs energy from its surrounding in the form of hear
What is an ionic bond?
A bond between a metal and nonmetal
What is a covalent bond?
A bond between a nonmetal and nonmetal
When is there the most lattice energy?
Biggest charge and smallest radius
What is the electronegativity difference for a nonpolar colavent bond?
<.4
What is the electronegativity difference for a polar covalent bond?
.4-1.8
What is the electronegativity difference for an ionic bond?
> 1.8
What is electronegativity?
The amount of energy needed for an atom to bond with another element
What are the electronegativity trends and why?
Increases upward (less orbitals, tighter rings around nucleus, more energy to pry apart)
Increases to the right (more energy is needed to complete the vallance shell)
What is a dipolar/dipole moment?
A molecule that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge
What do elements want to have?
A noble gas configuration
What is lattice energy?
The amount of energy required to break a lattice
What are the lattice energy trends and why?
Decreases down a group (more energy levels so weaker attractions)
Across a period (elements that give up electrons get smaller and elements that gain get bigger)
What do you do when elements are isoelectronic when caculating lattice energy?
Use the fact that the size decreases when there are MORE PROTONS in the nucleus (greatest atomic number is smallest)
What is the octet rule?
Each atom has 8 electrons around it in the lewis dot structures
How do you calculate formal charge?
FC+ valence-dots/dashes
What the bond angle for a linear electron geometry?
180
What is the bond angle for a trigonal planar electron geometry?
120
What is the bond angle for a tetrahedral electron geometry?
109.5
What is the bond angle for a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry?
<109.5
What is the order for molecular geometry for two electron regions?
Linear
