Q

What are some important points when calculating relative abundance?

A
  • the larger isotope number is “x”

- the first step to isolating “x” is to multiply both sides by 100

Q

Describe the two rules for the orbital box diagram

A

Pauli Exclusion Principle:
- The maximum number of electrons in each orbital is two. If two electrons are in one orbital, they must have opposite spins.
Hund’s rule:
- When adding electrons to a sublevel with more than one orbital, the electron spins must be all the same until each orbital has one electron.

Q

State the limitations of the Bohr Model

A

Assumes or suggests:

  • electrons orbit the nucleus/is predictable
  • shape of orbits/shells are all spherical
  • an incorrect scale of an atom
  • energy of electrons in a level are all the same

Q

What are the exceptions to the full electron configuration?

A
  • Nearly full “d” sublevels will take an electron from the closest “s” sublevel to be full
  • Nearly half full “d” sublevels will take an electron from the closest “s” sublevel to be half full

Q

What is the name of group 7?

A

Halogens

18
Q

What is the name of group 0 (or 8)?

A

Nobel gasses or inert gasses

19
Q

What is the name of the two lower rows?

A

Rare earth elements

20
Q

What are the horizontal rows called and what is their significance?

A

Called periods

- the number of the period equals the number of energy levels in the ground state

21
Q

What is Atomic Radius?

A

The distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron.

22
Q

How do you find atomic radius?

A

Half the distance nuclei of two bonded atoms of the same element (ex. diatomic molecules)
- is estimated for non-identical atoms

23
Q

What is Ionic Radius?

A

Defined as the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron of an ion

24
Q

Describe on general terms the ionic radius of the ions

A
  • Cations loose electrons and are smaller than their respective atom, occurs for metals.
  • Anions have gained electrons and are larger than their respective atom, occurs for non-metals.
25
Q

Define First Ionization Energy

A

The energy needed to remove one electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

26
Q

Define electronegativity

A

Is a relative measure (having no units) of the attraction an atom has for a pair of electrons that are shared with another atom.

27
Q

Define electron affinity

A

The energy released when one electron is added to an atom in its gaseous state. (only applies to non-metals)

28
Q

What is the periodic trend for atomic radius?

A

Atomic Radius:

  • increases down the group because an extra shell is added
  • decreases across the period because there are more protons
29
Q

What is the periodic trend for ionic radius?

A

Ionic Radius:

  • increases down the group because an extra shell is added
  • decreases across the period because there are more protons
30
Q

What is the period trend for ionization energy?

A

Ionization Energy:

  • decreases down the group because an extra shell is added
  • generally increases across the period because there are more protons
31
Q

What is the periodic trend for electronegativity?

A

Electronegativity:

  • decreases down the group because an extra shell is added
  • increases across the period because there are more protons
32
Q

What is the period trend for electron affinity?

A

Electron Affinity:

  • generally decreases down the group because an extra shell is added
  • generally increases across the period because there are more protons
33
Q

What is the general trend for melting point?

A

Melting Point:

  • For Alkali metals the melting point decreases down the group
  • For Halogens melting point increase down the group
  • Across periods 2 and 3 melting point increases from group 1 to 4 and generally decreases from group 4 to 0
34
Q

What is the first type of reaction?

A

2(Alkali metal) + 2H20 -> 2(Alkali metal ion) + 2OH^- + H2

35
Q

What is the second type of reaction?

A

2(Alkali metal) + Cl2 or Br2 -> 2(Alkali metal)Cl or Br

36
Q

What is the third type of reaction?

A

(greater electronegativity halogen)2 + 2(lower electronegativity halide ion) -> 2(greater electrnegativity halide ion) + (lower electronegativity halogen)2

2(greater electronegativity halide ion) + (lower electronegativity halogen)2 -> No reaction

37
Q

What is the fourth type of reaction?

A

Metal oxide + Water -> metal hydroxides

38
Q

What is the fifth type of reaction?

A

non-metal oxide + water -> acidic oxide
