L2 atoms, compounds and chemical bonding Flashcards
rutherford - bohr model
energy levels
energy levels are quantised and movement of an electron from one orbital to another leads to absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation.
principal quantum number
average distance of electron from nucleus
orbital quantum number
shape of orbital
magnetic quantum number
orientation of orbitals in space
spin quantum number
direction of electron spin in magnetic fields
how do you calculate orbital energy level
principal quantum level + orbital quantum number
hund’s rule
degenerate orbitals are partially filled before any orbital is completely filled
valency
how many bonds an element can form
electronegativity required for covalent and ionic bonding
> 1.7 = ionic
<0.7 = covalent
what is a pi bond
adjacent crossing over of p orbitals
resonance
when a compound can be represented in more than one lewis structure and the actual structure is a hybrid of the structures
hackle’s rule
any planar ring molecule with (4n+2)pi electrons is aromatic
