Unit 3 Review Flashcards
Which orbital ring has the lowest potential energy?
N=1
Which orbital ring has the strongest attractions?
N=1
More protons in the nucleus, more _____?
More attractions
What does an increased number of attractions mean for ionization energy and size of the atom?
IE is high, size is small
What is the core shell of an atom?
The innermost shell
What is the valence shell of an atom?
The outermost shell
What are orbitals?
Sub-sub-groups for shells and only two electrons can occupy the space
What subshell has the lowest energy?
4s^2
What is the third and fourth shell electronic configuation for an atom
4s^2, 3d^10, 4p^#
What can be classified as an electron domain?
Lone pair (valence electrons not shared with another atom), single/double/triple bonds
What is the octet rule?
When atoms combine, the most stable structures are where the atoms have a full valence shell (8 electrons)
What happens when atoms form bonds?
They bring down the total energy due to delocalization which then stabilizes the atoms
What is considered an electron domain?
A lone pair, a single bond, a double bond, and a triple bond
How can you tell which molecule to distribute electrons to?
Distribute to the molecule with stronger IMFs (larger number of protons, more electronegative)
Can bonding patterns be ignored to fulfill the octet rule?
YES
What is a polar bond?
Partial charges in both atoms
What is bond polarity directly proportional to?
The numerical difference between electronegativity values
What molecules have partial negative charges?
Molecules with the most electronegativity
What molecules have partial positive charges
Molecules with the least electronegativity
What is molecular polarity?
The sum of bond polarity; if it equals 0, the bond is non polar, if it is greater than zero, the bond is polar
What are easy ways to tell if a molecule is polar?
If it has more than one element surrounding the central atom and if the central atom has a lone pair
If a molecule is bent it is most likely…
POLAR
If a molecule only contains hydrogen and carbon, it is…
NONPOLAR
What is an isomer?
Molecules with the same chemical formula, but different spacial arrangements of atoms
