Q

Hund’s rule

A
  • orbitals within a subshell have equivalent energy, and since electrons repel, they spread out through out the orbitals as much as possible
  • Because electrons repel each other, they spread out until they no longer can

Q

slit screen experiment

A

-showed that electrons must be spinning because sometimes they are attracted to the magnet. Whether an electron has an up or down spin is completely random. IF one electron in an orientation changes, the other must change as well.

Q

however, having lowest possible energy in order to be stable breaks down in the transition metals because….

A

sometimes, an electron will move up a level (breaking the principle) to further stabilize an atom by having either a filled or half-filled subshell for the valence electrons

21
Q

levels of stability (even charge distribution leads to the most stability

A
  • most stable: full s and p
  • stable: full subshells in general
  • medium stable: exactly half-filled subshells
  • not particularly stable: anything else
22
Q

transition metals

A
  • have incompletely filled d subshells, and will readily lose electrons to try to stabilize
  • Form cations (although they will not be quite isoelectronic with a noble has, they will have full s and p subshells like a noble gas
23
Q

ionic reaction

A

any time something loses/gains electrons
-happens because every participating atom either loses or gains electrons ignored to become isoelectronic with a noble gas

24
Q

atomic radius

A
  • increases diagonally from the top right to the bottom left (protons decrease to the left and shells increase toward the bottom)
  • Increases in the same pattern as shielding because shielding lessens the nucleus’s ability to hold on to its electrons
  • distance from the nucleus to the valence shell (measured as 1/2 the distance between two nuclei that are bonded together
25
Q

Electronegativity (EN)

A
  • increases to the top right (the less shielding there is, the more electronegativity there will be)
  • measures how much an element will own an electron in a bond
  • An electron spends more time with the nucleus that is more electronegative
26
Q

electron affinity (EA)

A
  • Increases diagonally from the bottom left to the top right (represents how attractive a nucleus is to an electron)
  • Highest in the halogens. This is because the noble gases do not want to receive electrons
  • The energy that is released when an electron is gained (to produce an anion)
  • If the attraction is strong, lots of energy is released
  • EA and IE are basically the same thing, just with different experimental methods
27
Q

Ionization energy (IE)

A
  • increase diagonally from the bottom left to the top right
  • the energy it takes to remove an electron
  • we can electrocute atoms, and if there’s enough energy, an electron will fly off and form a cation
  • it takes more energy to remove the second electron than the first and so on. The energy before the big jump is the final valence electron.
28
Q

shielding

A
  • electrons are attracted to the nucleus and repelled by each other
  • Because of repelling core electrons, outer electrons do not feel as attracted to the nucleus
  • proportional to the number of shells. Adding more electrons to a row does not really make a difference. In fact, it decreases shielding because across a row, number of protons increases as number of electrons increases.
  • Inversely proportional to the number of protons (fewer protons = more shielding towards the bottom left)
29
Q

effective nuclear charge

A

Zeff

  • The force of attraction is inversely proportional to the distance o
  • Fbetween charges [fish proportional symbol] 1/ distance
  • Fbetween charges is proportional to the magnitude of the charge
30
Q

force

A

the interaction between two charges

31
Q

when you cross the staircase, do elements want to gain or lose electrons?

A

they want to gain electrons

32
Q

covalent bond

A
  • when the electrons in a bond are shared equally
  • happens among nonmetals
  • delta EN among non polar covalent bonds ranges from 0-0.5
  • Strong bonds (not broken by melting/boiling)
  • Atoms have no charge
33
Q

Polar covalent bond

A
  • electrons are shared unequally
  • transfer of an electron that results in charges that attract
  • occurs among nonmetals that are far enough away from each other
  • 0.5-1.7
  • Atoms have slight positive and slight negative charges
34
Q

ionic bond

A
  • when electrons are transferred
  • always happens between a metal (cation) and a nonmetal (anion)
  • A big difference in EN
  • 1.7-3.3
  • Atoms have full charges
  • Disconnect in water
  • Satisfies the octet rule by transferring electrons
35
Q

metallic bonds

A
  • valence electrons are shared collectively, delocalized across all the nuclei
  • the source of a metal’s strength, conductivity, and malleability
36
Q

dative bond

A

if something shares a pair of electrons, and both electrons originally came from

37
Q

octet rule

A

generally, all atoms will have 8 valence electrons (full s and p subshells) in the final structure

38
Q

bonding pairs

A

a pair of shared electrons

39
Q

lone pair

A

a pair of electrons belonging to only one atom

40
Q

formal charge

A

represents how many electrons are gained or lost by an atom (valence electrons - associated electrons)

  • associated electrons = unshared + shared/2
  • the more stable structure has more evenly distributed formal charge
41
Q

ionic compound binary naming

A
  • name of the metal + name of the nonmetal with -ide suffix
  • metal (cation) always comes before the nonmetal (anion)
  • If a transition metal, the charge is a roman numeral after it
  • if a polyatomic atom, use the collective name
42
Q

molecular compounds

A
  • name first nonmetal and then second nonmetal with -ide suffix (in the order of the formula)
  • If more than one of each type of atom, use a prefix to denote the number
