Q

J.J. Thomson

A

J.J. Thomson was born on December 18, 1856, in Cheetham Hill, England, and went on to attend Trinity College at Cambridge, where he would come to head the Cavendish Laboratory. His research in cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron, and he pursued further innovations in atomic structure exploration.

Q

angular momentum quantum #

A

The angular momentum quantum number, l, (subshell) describes the shape of the orbital. l = 0, 1, 2, … , n – 1 The higher the value of l the higher the energy.

Q

transition metals

A

less easily predictable properties based on their position in the periodic table

19
Q

what does Zeff mean

A

charge “felt” by a valence electron

20
Q

order of electromagnetic spectrum

A

radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays

21
Q

principal quantum #

A

The atomic orbitals are first described by the principal quantum number (n), which describes how far the electron is from the nucleus. n = 0, 1, 2, 3 The higher the value of n, the larger the orbital. The higher the value of n, the higher the potential energy.

22
Q

quantum mechanics

A

Scientists studied hydrogen’s spectrum and found a pattern that enabled them to develop a model to predict the probability of finding an electron at any location: can be expressed graphically by atomic orbitals

23
Q

ionization energy

A

energy required to move an electron from an atom in a gaseous state

24
Q

non-metal

A

upper right side/periodic. diving line b/w metals and nonmetals. solid @ room temp. other are gaseous. tned to be poor conductors of heat and electricity, tend to GAIN electrons in chemical changes

25
orbital
- can contain up to two electrons and has a particular shape and orientation. e.g. is the z-aligned orbital in the p subshell in the second shell.
26
what does Z equal in the Zeff equation
Z = the nuclear charge = the number of protons
27
pauli exclusion principle
Atoms other than Hydrogen have more than one electron in them. Just like bowling balls on a hill, electrons all want to go to the lowest energy level (n=1, s subshell). However, just as people need space, electrons need their own space too! It turns out that at most two electrons can occupy one atomic orbital. Furthermore, the two electrons must have opposite electron spins (spin up ↑ and spin down ↓).
28
how do you find the number of angular nodes?. Define each variable
l l= angular momentum QN
29
what 2 factors does the atomic radius depend on
The valence orbital, The larger the value of n, the larger the atom Zeff, The larger Zeff, the smaller the atom
30
halogens
group 7. most familiar is chlorine, very reactive nonmetals
31
how do you find the total number of nodes? explain each variable
n-1 n= principle quantum number
32
noble gases
group 8. chemically inert, full valence electrons
33
ionic radius
For a specific element, the radius decreases with increasing positive charge As you go down the periodic table, the ionic radius increases
34
magnetic quantum #
The magnetic quantum number, ml, describes the spatial orientation. ml = -l, ... , -1, 0, 1, ... , l
35
isoelectronic
radius decreases with increasing protons,(atomic number)/ positive charge
36
emission spectrum
Spectrum assosiated with emission of electromagnetic radiation by elements or compunds
37
alkaline earth metals
fairly reactive, not as reactive as alkali
38
whats the principal QN symbol possible value, other name, and effects
symbol: n possible values: 0,1,2,3,... AKA: shell Effects: orbital
39
in effective nuclear charge, the properties of an atom are determiend by
The charge of the nucleus 2) The repulsion between electrons 3) The wave nature of the atomic orbitals
40
ground state
state of atom/molecule in which electrons occupy the lowest possible energy orbitals available
41
subshell
Subshell - a group of orbitals with particular properties like shape and angular momentum. Labelled s, p, d, f, g etc.
42
hunds rule
energy orbital in a subshell is singly occupied w/ one electron any one orbital is doubly occupied. All electrons in singly occupied orbitals have same spin
43
bonding atomic radius
The bonding atomic radius is defined as one-half of the distance between covalently bonded nuclei
44
how do you find the number of radial nodes
n-1-L
