module 2.2 up to 2.2.8 Flashcards
Does energy of shells increase or decrease as you move away from the nucleus?
increase
what is the principal quantum number?
n
what is the formula for the maximum number of electrons a shell can hold?
2n^2
where are electrons found?
in atomic orbitals
what is an atomic orbital?
a region around the nucleus which can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spins (upspin & downspin)
what are the 4 orbitals?
s p d f
how many s orbitals are there per shell?
1
how many p orbitals are there per shell?
3, found in 2 and above
how many d orbitals are there per shell?
5, found in 3 and above
how many f orbitals are there per shell?
7, found in 4 and above
what are the max number of electrons per shell?
2,8,18,32…
what is the shape of an s orbital?
spherical
what is the shape of an p orbital?
dumb-bell
what is a subshell?
all of the orbitals of the same type in the same shell
what fills before 3d (electron configuration)
4s
why don’t orbitals pair when going into boxes immediately?
they only pair when they have to
what is the electron configuration for cobalt (27)?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7
~why are orbitals not filled in numerical order?
because the principal energy levels get closer together as you go further from the nucleus
what does an ion have the same of but a different amount of
ion-same amount of protons, different amount of electrons
what type of ion does oxygen form?
oxide ion
what type of ions do metals form?
positive ions (cations)
what type of ions do non-metals form?
negative ions (anions)
what is the electron configuration of sodium(11) and the sodium ion?
sodium: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
na+:1s2 2s2 2p6
what do you notice about the electron configuration of ions?
all ions have the same electron configuration as noble gasses.
write the shorthand configuration of Na
[Ne]3s1
as the 4s shell fills first…
it is always first to empty ( eg for ions)
what is an ion
an atom that has gained or lost electrons- it possess a positive or negative charge
what group changes their name when becoming ions
halogens
what is the name of fluorine when it becomes an ion
fluoride
what is the name of nitrogen when it becomes an ion
nitride
what is the name of chlorine when it becomes an ion
chloride
what is the formula of the complex ion: nitrate
NO3-
what is the formula of the complex ion: sulfate
SO4^2-
