Water Flashcards
What is the universal solvent?
Water
What is a solution?
A homogenous mixture of at least two chemicals that are both in the same physical state.
What is a phase?
A region of space where physical properties are uniform.
What are the three stages of a solution?
Unsaturated, Saturated and (temporarily) super saturated
What is an electron shell?
A collection of orbitals with the same value for n.
How many electrons can the electron shell n have?
n^2
What shape are p-orbitals
dumbell
what shape are d-orbitals
four-leaf clover
How many electrons can be in each orbital?
2
What is Coloumbs law?
The force of attraction between the nucleus and an electron depends on the net nuclear charge and the distance between the two.
What is atomic radius?
Half of the distance between two chemically bonded atoms.
What is an isoelectric series?
A group of atoms with the same number of electrons.
Which electrons are removed first?
The ones from the least filled orbital with the largest quantum number.
Where are electrons added to first?
The lowest quantum orbital that is partially filled
What are the thee types of chemical bond?
Ionic, metallic and covalent
What are ionic bonds?
two ions bonded via their difference in charge
What are covalent bonds?
two particles sharing electrons
What are metallic bonds?
Occur when many particles are bonded together
Which electrons are involved in bonding?
Valence electrons
Which subshells are full in an octet?
s and p
In a bond where do the electrons reside?
Closer to the more electronegative atom
What are resonance lewis structures?
Structures of the same molecule with different electron configurations.
What is electron domain geometry?
The arrangement of electron domains around a central atom
When does mollecular geometry = electron geometry
when all electron domains are bonds
