Q

What are the five hypothesis’ of dalton’s atomic theory

A

1) matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms

2) an element consists of only one type of atom

3) atoms of one element differ in properties from atoms of all other elements

4) a compound consists of atoms of two or more elements combined in a small, whole number ratio

5) atoms are neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change

All the electrons in the square brackets

145
Q

When ionizing you take the electrons from the ___ numbered shell

What she’ll wojld you take electrons from 3S or 4s

A

HIGHEST

4s

146
Q

Pg 40-43

A

___

147
Q

Elements are arranged in the periodic table in increasing ______ ____

A

Atomic number

148
Q

What are the three periodic table trends

A

-atomic size and ionic size

-ionization energy

-electron affinity

149
Q

Atomic size: in a group atomic size/atomic radius increases ____ a group

And why

A

Down

The # of electrons increases and the occupy a new shell, more shielding, size increases

150
Q

Which way does a period go for trends

A

Left to right

151
Q

Atomic size: in a period atomic size/atomic radius ____ across a period

And why

A

Decreases

Zeff increases and stronger nuclear attraction pulls electrons closer to the atom

152
Q

Metals lose valence ____ to form ____

Nonmetals gain valence ___ to form ___

A

Electrons

Cations

Electrons

Anions

153
Q

Oxidation numbers!!

A

___

154
Q

How to predict the “magnetic behaviour” of ions in a compound!!!

A

——

155
Q

Trends in ionic radii: ionic radius ____ down a group but ______ across a period

A

Increases

Decreases

156
Q

Trends in ionic radii: higher proton to electron ratio= ____ size

A

Smaller

157
Q

What is a high ratio!!!

A

__

158
Q

Is ionization endothermic or exothermic and why

A

Endothermic because it requires energy

159
Q

Does first ionization require more energy or 4th

And why

A

4th

since those electrons are closer to the nucleus

160
Q

Trends in ionization energy: ionization energy of elements _____ down a group

And why

A

of core electrons increases, so more shielding, so easier to remove outside electron

Decreases

161
Q

Trends in ionization energy: ionization energy of elements ____ across a period

And why

A

Increases

Zeff increases across a period

162
Q

Trends in ionization energy: Na has one valence electrons and Mg has 2, which has the higher 2nd ionization energy

And why

A

Na

Because it takes more energy to remove a core electron since with Mg there’s another valences electron to remove

163
Q

Trends in ionization energy: what is the first discontinuity

Why

How does this discontinuity extend

A

B has LOWER ionization energy than Be

B has three orbital levels while Be, only has two, so there’s more shielding is higher in B, easier to take an electron out

Extends vertically down those elements

164
Q

Trends in ionization energy: what is the second discontinuity

Why

How does this discontinuity extend

A

O has LOWER ionization energy than N

In the out shell of N all the electrons are unpaired, makes it the most stable, so more energy needed to remove electron, electron electron repulsion forces in outer shell of O makes electron easier to remove

Discontinuity extends vertically down

165
Q

Trends in electron affinity: it is the ___ change that occurs when an atom or ion in its ____ state ____ an electron

And what does it depend on

A

Energy

Gaseous

Gains

Depends on atomic size

166
Q

Is electron affinity endothermic or exothermic

and why

A

Exothermic

Cuz the nucleus must attract the electron strongly enough

167
Q

Trends in electron affinity: across a period EA ___

And why

A

Increases

Because atomic size decreases

168
Q

Trends in electron affinity: down a group EA ____

And why

A

Decreases

Because atomic size increases

169
Q

Is EA value positive or negative

A

Negative

170
Q

Larger EA (not including negative sign) = ____ for atom to accept the electron

A

Easier

171
Q

Oh 51-53!!!

A

___

172
Q

What are group 1 elements called

And what is their fundamental characteristic, so they are ____

A

Alkali metals

The ease with which they lose their valence electron, so very reactive

173
Q

Oxidation state of oxygen

A

-2

174
Q

Oxidation state of hydrogen

A

+1

175
Q

Oxidation state of group 2 metals (and where are they located)

A

+2

Second from the left

176
Q

Which is the oxidizing agent

A

The one being reduced

177
Q

What is the reducing agent

A

The one being oxidized
