Q

bohr

A

proposed that electrons in an atom don’t exist as a cloud of negative charges, but rather occupy specific “orbits” around the nucleus with specific energies associated with them. Electrons can only absorb from one “orbit” to another, so they have to be in shells

16
Q

d-subshell

A

“double peanut” shape
contains 5 orbitals
can contain 10 electrons
only exists in third shell and larger shells
is shifted by one energy level on the periodic table (like if you see it in the 4th row then it is in the third shell)

17
Q

f-subshell

A

flower shape
contains 7 orbitals
can contain 14 electrons
exists only in the fourth shell and larger shells
is shifted by 2 energy levels on the periodic table (so if you see it in the sixth row, then it is in the fourth shell)

18
Q

valence electrons

A

all electrons outside of the core and electrons in filled d and f subshells

19
Q

laws of electrostatic forces

A

1) opposite charges attract
2) like charges repel
3) the greater the distance between the charges, the smaller the electrostatic force between them
4) the greater the charge on the particles, the greater the electrostatic force between them

20
Q

atomic number and electrostatic forces

A

as you go from left to right across a period, the atomic number increases = the number of protons in the nucleus increases = the amount of positive charges on the nucleus increases
but the average distance from the nucleus to the electron shells remain the same

21
Q

atomic radius and electrostatic forces

A

as you go from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases. if there’s a higher charge, it shrinks because of higher attraction. if there’s a lower charge, it expands a bit because of lower attraction
as you go from top to bottom within a group, the number of electron shells increases. therefore, the atomic radius increases because when there are more layers, its wider

22
Q

ionization energy

A

the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom form a positive ion (K + energy = K+)
it increases as you go from left to right. the further the right, the higher the charge, thus the higher the attraction, thus the more energy is needed to pull them apart
as you go from top to bottom within a group, the ionization energy decreases because the distance between the nucleus and the electrons increase, so the attraction goes down.

23
Q

shielding effect

A

competition between attraction of nucleus and repelling of electrons

24
Q

polar molecules dissolve in ___

non-polar molecules dissolve in ___

A

polar solutions

non-polar solutions

25
Q

electronegativity

A

the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons of another atom
in general, as you go from left to right across a period, the electronegativity increases
in general, as you go from top to bottom within a group, the electronegativity decreases

26
Q

ionic bonds

A

the difference in electronegativity is greater than 1.6

27
Q

covalent bonds

A

the difference in electronegativity is less than 0.2

28
Q

polar covalent bond

A

results when the difference in electronegativity is between 0.2 and 1.6. it is a partial separation of charge = dipole

29
Q

anions

A

negatively charged ions (gained electrons)

30
Q

cations

A

positively charged ions (lost electrons)

31
Q

the greeks

A

early form of elements, earth water fire and air

32
Q
water is (polar/non-polar)
hexane is (polar/non-polar)
A

polar

non-polar

33
Q

polar molecule

A

unequal dipoles do not cancel out
