Q

Why are ionization energies positive?

A

Energy must be put into the system to pull the negative e- away from the positive protons

Q

Higher energy e- are less tightly held and so….

A

more easily removed (higher n)

19
Q

n can have how many electrons?

A

2n^2

20
Q
How many e- can:
K shell
L shell
M shell
N shell
have?
A

K shell n=1 ,so e- = 2
L shell n=2 ,so e-=8
M shell n=3 ,so e-=18
N sheel n=4 ,so e-=32

21
Q

What is a subshell?

A

A group of orbitals with the same energy

22
Q

The value of l depends on what quantum number?

A

n

23
Q

What values can l have?

A

From 0 to n-1

24
Q

What are spin quantum numbers?

A

The clock-wise + anticlockwise spinning of e- produces opposite magnetic fields

25
Q

Why is Gd3+ used for medical imaging?

A

The 7 unpaired electrons have the same spin (½) but a much smaller size than protons so it can be magnetized @RT

26
Q

What other ions/elements can be used for medical imaging?

A

Iron , nickel , cobalt

27
Q

What does the Azimuthal quantum number indicate?

A

The subshell an e- is in

28
Q
If the value of l is:
-0
-1
-2
-3
what subshell is it in?
A

0=s
1=p
2=d
3=f

29
Q

Does the energy of the subshell increase with increasing of l?

A

YES

30
Q

What is the maximum number of e- a given subshell can hold?

A

2(2l+1)

31
Q
If l is
0=s
1=p
2=d
3 =f
then how many e- can it hold
A

s=2
p=6
d=10
f=14

32
Q
What is the shape of the:
s orbital
p orbital
d orbital
f orbital
A
s = spherical
p = dumbbell
d = more complex
f = still more complex
33
Q

What do magnetic quantum numbers represent ? (m/m1)

A

The orbitals in a given subshell

34
Q

What do magnetic quantum numbers indicate?

A

The direction of a particular orbital relative to the magnetic field/axes

35
Q

Does magnetic quantum numbers indicate energy?

A

NO

36
Q

m can have an integral value of what?

A

-1 through 0 to +1

37
Q

For a given value of l, total number of m value is what?

A

(2l+1)

38
Q

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

A

You cannot determine the position + momentum of an e- at the same time

39
Q

Aufbau principle

A

E- enter the lowest available energy level 1st

40
Q

Hund’s rule of max multiplicity

A

When in orbitals of equal energy , e- will try to remain unpaired (minimises repulsion between like charges , so the system is more stable)

41
Q

Pauli exclusion principle

A

No 2 e- can have the same 4 quantum numbers

-Only 2 e- can go in each orbital , if they’re of opposite spin

42
Q

What are the special cases / exceptions?

A
Chromium = 4s1 3d5
Copper = 4s1 3d10
43
Q

A large jump between successive ionisation energy indicates what?

A

A change in energy level from which the e- has been removed
