Unit 1 Chem - A1 structure and bonding in applications in science Flashcards
What does the nucleus contain?
Positive Protons and Neutral neutrons
What surrounds the nucleus
Energy shells
What do the energy shells contain?
Negative electrons
Relative mass of protons and neutrons
1
Relative mass of an electron
0
Maximum no of electrons in shell 1
2 electrons
Maximum no of electrons in shell 2
8
Maximum no of electrons in shell 3
18
Maximum no of electrons in shell 4
32
Maximum no of electrons in shell 5
50
What are the energy levels/shells broken down into (sub shells) ?
S,p,d,f orbitals
Aufbau principal
Electrons fill the orbital with the lowest available energy state in relaxation to the proximity to the nucleus before filling orbitals with higher energy states.
What’s the point of Aufbau principle
It gives the most stable electron configuration possible
Electrons have the same charge so they _________ each other
Repel
Orbitals
Regions where there is a 95% probability of locating an electron. An orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
Electronic Configuration
The distribution of electrons in an atom or molecule
Spin
Electrons have two possible states, spin up or down. In each orbital an electron will be in a differ spin state.
