FINALS! Flashcards
homogeneous
same properties throughout
heterogeneous
different properties in different parts of mixture
elements
cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substance
compounds
can be broken down chemically into elements
precision
degree of agreement among several measurements of the same quality
accuracy
the agreement of a particular value with the true value
sigfig zero rules
- non-zero always count as sigfigs
a) leading 0s never count
2) captive 0s always count
3) trailing 0s only included if theres decimal points
density formula
mass/volume
atomic number
protons/electrons
atomic mass
protons + neutrons
ground state orbitals
lowest energy level/orbital
can be moved up by heat, electricity, light (excited)
quantum mechanics
how small particles behave
energy levels
measures fixed energy e-
since e- cannot exist between rungs, a quantum is the exact energy needed to move an e- up a rung
principal quantum number
denotes the energy level e- is located in
max in an energy level: 2n^2
aufbau
electrons enter the lowest energy level first
pauli exclusion
2 electrons max per orbital
hund’s rule
electrons don’t pair up unless they have to
alkali metals
group 1
most reactive
not found in nature
reacts with air and water
alkaline earth metals
group 2
reactive, but not as much as alkali
transition metals
group 3-12
all metals
least reactive on periodic table
found in nature
rare earth metals
bottom 2 rows
lanthanides
1st bottom row on periodic table
soft metals, not that rare
actinides
2nd bottom ro won periodic table
radioactive, synthetic
halogens
group 17
most reactive nonmetals
noble gases
group 18
rarely combine - low reactivity
group on periodic table
up & down, column
period on periodic table
left & right, row
atomic radius trend
1) increases down a group
2) decreases across a period
electronegativity trend
1) decreases down a group
2) increases across a period
ionization energy trend
1) decreases across a group
2) increases across a period
ion size trend
1) larger when anion (gain electron)
2) smaller when cation (lose electron)
metallic character trend
1) increases down a group
2) decreases down a period
ionic bond
attractions between oppositely charged ions
covalent bond
2 nonmetals bonding by sharing electrons
non-polar covalent
equal sharing of electrons
diatomic molecules
polar covalent
unequal sharing of electrons
electrons spend more time around the nonmetallic tom
charge seperation - dipole movement
metallic bonds
electrostatic attraction between cations (2 metals)
covalent network solids
combinations of nonmetals
hard and brittle
extreme melting and boiling points
interconnected, insoluble
1 central, 2 atoms
linear
1 central, 3 atoms
trigonal planar
1 central, 4 atoms
tetrahedral
1 central + 1 lone pair, 2 atoms
bent
1 central + 1 lone pair, 3 atoms
trigonal pyramidal
1 central + 2 lone pairs, 2 atoms
bent
polar bond vs polar molecule
polar bond: unequal sharing of e-
polar molecule: non symmetrical shape, lone pair on central atom
non polar bond vs non polar molecule
nonpolar bond: equal sharing of e-
nonpolar molecule: symmetrical molecular shape
hydrogen bonds
dipole-dipole
strong intermolecular froce
occurring between hydrogen atoms with fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen
