What is the Aufbau Principle
Electrons enter orbitals at the lowest energy first (fill lowest first)
What principle is when ‘Electrons enter orbitals at the lowest energy first (fill lowest first)’
Aufbau Principle
What is Pauli exclusion principle
no pair of electrons in an atom can have the same quantam numbers
- atomic orbital may descirbe at most 2 electrons
What principle is when
“no pair of electrons in an atom can have the same quantam numbers - atomic orbital may descirbe at most 2 electrons”
Pauli exclusion principle
What is Hund’s Rule
When electron occupy orbitals of equal energy levels –> one electron enters each orbital until all oribitals contain one electron
What rule ‘When electron occupy orbitals of equal energy levels –> one electron enters each orbital until all oribitals contain one electron’
Hund’s Rule

Metal + H20 (water) –>
Metal Hyrdoxide + H2 gas
Metal + Oxygen –>
metal oxide
Metal + Acid –>
Salt + H2 gas

What is positive nuclear charge
Caused by protons (charge from protons on electrons) that pull electrons closer and increase ionization energy
What is shielding effect
Caused by electon shells shielding valence electron from positive nuclear charge and thus decreased charge and decreasing ionization energy
Positive nuclear charge and shielding effect left-right period and down group
atomic number increases poeriod - more protons acting on each other - thus eletrons closer to protons since higher positive nuclear charge of more protons on each electron
shielding effect increases down a group since the previous shells shield the positive nuclear charge on valence electrons, requireing less ionization energy - to remove electrons
How does the radius of atoms change due to what ion it is
Less radius of cations since less electrons and protons (+ve nuclear charge) can act on electrons more efficientley (1 less electron for unchanged protons to attarct closer) and opposite with anions
- Repulsion is larger with more electrons also pulling electrons further away from nucleas increasing radius
(anions = bigger radius)
(cations = smaller radius)
What is ionization energy
The minimum energy that is required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an atom in it’s gaseous state
How to write the first ionization energy of (Na)
Na(g) –> Na+(g) = e-(g)
What is the trend of ionization energy across a period from left to right
Left to right a period - n. protons increase - +ve nuclear charge increases –> valence electrons are pulled closer to the nucleas thus is harder to remove and
(INCREASE IN IONIZATION ENERGY)
with 4 exceptions each period
What is the trend of ionization energy down a group
N. shells increases –> +ve nuclear charge is blocked due to the shielding effect since protons have less attraction to the valence electrons + repulsion of valence electrons pushing them outward makes it easier to remove valence electrons
(DECREASE IN IONIZATION ENERGY)
Explain the exception in ionization energy across left to right period (that it should increase left to right)
(only up to period 4) Between group 2 and 13 –> 2
Group 2 has full electron subshell of s2 therfore it takes more energy to remove from more stable electron config
Group 3 has one extra in p1 and wants to lose it to gain a more stable full subsheel of s2 thus less energery is required to remove it
What is electron affinity?
How easy it is to accept electrons into a gaseous state atom into a anion (higher easier to accept electrons) and vise versa
the amount of energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form an anion
What is electronegativity?
The ability an atom has to pull electrons towards itself
Defines how likely an atom can form a cation/anion
- since LOW ionization energy & LOW affinity = pull electron away = cation
- HIGH ionization energy & LOW affinity = pull electron towards = anion
What oxides do non-metals generally form
Non-metals can dissolve in water to form acidic oxides
What oxides do metals generally form
Metals can dissolve in water to form basic oxides (alkaline solutions)
What happans to amphoteric metal oxides
React with both acids and bases to create salts and water
How does Sulfer and O2 react in water and where does it come from
Sulfer and Dioxide –> Sulphur Dioxide + Water –> acidic rain
sulfer is gained from coal burning
How do oxides change from left to right a period and down a group
Oxides go from basic –> amphoteric –> acidic
More electronegativity = more acidic it is
DOWN -
increases in basic down a group since electronegativity generally decreases (with transition metals vary)
What are three acidic oxides to memorise
CO2 - Carbon Dioxide
SO2 - Sulfur Dioxide
NO2 - Nitrogen Dioxide
All form acids/acid rain when react with water and oyxgen in air
Add 2 hydrogen at front and an extra oxygen (CO2 –> H2CO3 or H2CO2 (can vary between 2/4 or 3 but 2 is usually the acid rain)) (Carbonate acid)
What happans when Nitrogen Oxide reacts with water and where does it come from
Cars produce nitrogen –> acid rain since caues HNO2 or HNO3 and falls
What is H2SO4 or H2SO3
H2SO4 = Sulfuric acid
H2SO3 = sulfourius acid
What are all the properties of ionic bonds
- electricity
- structure
- force
- physical property
- Between…
- Crystal lattice structure of a 3 dimensional arrangement of positive and negative ions
- Conduct electricity if dissolved in solvent since electrons are free to move - solid cannot
- Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged (+ve and -ve) ions
- Hard and brittle
- Metal + Non-metal
What are all the properties of covalent bonds
- electricity
- structure
- force
- physical property
- Between…
- There are simple molecular covalent e.x.(NH3, H2O, CH4)
- Between non-metals (no ions)
- The sharing of electrons
- There are no free electrons thus cannot conduct electricity
- Electron clouds overlap and both protons attract electron to share it
Acids and bases with electricity?
Strong acids + bases are good conductors and thus good electrolytes
Define valency
The power to combine
