Lecture One. Flashcards
Second most electronegative element
OXYGEN
Diatomic Molecules
hydrogen , oxygen, nitrogen and HALOGENS
Atomic Radius
Increase Down and to the Left
distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost electron
Ionization Energy
Increase Up and to the Right
The energy needed to detach and electron from an atom
Electronegativity
Increase UP and to the RIGHT
Tendency of an atom to attract electrons shared in a covalent bond
Electron Affinity
Increase UP and Right
willingness of an atom to accept an additional electron
Isoelectronic Ions
same number of electrons but different elemental identities
O2- , F- , Ne , Na+ , Mg2+
ranked from largest to smallest in size.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
uncertainty in the position of a particle and its momentum. the more we know about one the less we know about the other, Vice Versa.
Chromium (Cr) E-Configuration
[Ar] 4s1 3d5
Copper (Cu) E-Configuration
[Ar] 4s1 3d10
Paramagnetic Elements
have unpaired electrons
amount of energy in a photon
(Delta)E = (6.6x10-34)(frequency)
Work Function
The minimum amount of energy required to free a electron on metal
Electrons Kinetic Energy
K.E= hf(energy in)- Work function ( energy out)
Bond Length
the distance between the nuclei of two atoms in a bond when they are at their lowest energy levels.
