QUANTUM NUMBERS
PRINCIPAL
AZIMUTHAL
MAGNETIC
SPIN
Describes the energy of an electron and the most probable distance of an electron from the nucleus
SYMBOL (n)
PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER
Describe the shape of the orbital Also known as Orbital Angular Momentum Quantum Numbers
Symbol: (l)
Azimuthal Quantum Numbers
Describe the energy level in a shell
It explains the effect of an orbital in magnetic field
Ex. The orientation on an orbital
Symbol: ml
Magnetic Quantum Numbers
Refers to the spin of an electron which can either be up or down
Symbol : ms
SPIN QUANTUM NUMBERS
It refers to the magnetic state of an atom with one or more unpaired electrons magnetic dipole moments
Paramagnetic
characterized by paired electrons.
- there is no net magnetic moment,
- the atom cannot be attracted into a magnetic field.
Diamagnetic
very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule
Lewis Structure
The tendency of an atom to form bonds until it is surrounded by eight valences electrons
Octet Rule
is a group of atoms that is responsible for the chemical behavior of the molecule
Functional Groups
SUBSTITUENT DERIVED BY REMOVING ONE HYDROGEN FROM ALKANE CHAIN
ALKYL
THE SIMPLEST OF ALL HYDROCARBONS
METHANE IS SIMPLEST OF ALL AKANES
ALKANES
one
alkane
contains an oxygen atom that is bonded to one hydrogen atom and one carbon atom with the
Formula: R-OH
Alcohol
ARE HYDROCARBONS THAT CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE CARBON TO CARBON DOUBLE BOND
ALKENES
CONTAIN ONE OR MORE TRIPLE BONDS BETWEEN NEIGHBORING CARBON ATOMS.
ALKYNES
two
alkene
three
alkyne
consist of an oxygen atom that forms single bonds with two carbon atoms
ethers
has a carbonyl in which the carbdehydeson atom is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom.
ALdehydes
which the carbon atom is bonded to an OH group on one side and either a carbon or hydrogen atom on the other.
Carboxylic Acid
involve a carbonyl in which the carbon atom makes single bonds with two R-groups
Ketones
contain s a carbonyl where the carbon is bonded to one additional oxygen atom and one carbon or or a hydrogen atom
ESTER
