Week 1 Flashcards
Elements
Atoms of differing size
Atomic Number
of Protons
In a neutral atom, what particle is the # of protons equal to?
of electrons
Isotopes
Elements w/ the same # of protons, but different in Neutrons
Orbital
Electron orbiting region
S
Spherical
P
Dumbbell
Electrons with closer orbitals to the nucleus have…
Lower energy
1st energy level
K
2nd Energy level
L
3rd Energy level
M
4th Energy Level
N
Dumbbell orbitals can travel on different planes with the same….
energy level
Other terms for energy level
energy shell, electron shell
In the same energy level, which shape has the least amount of energy
S (spherical) orbitals
Subshells
the different types of orbitals on an energy level
Aufbau Principle
Electrons occupy the lowest energy level available
Low energy S orbits fill electrons
first & sequentially
p orbits fill electrons
simultaneously (at the same time)
Valence electrons
outermost energy level electrons
What energy level to atoms pair from?
valence energy level
What do the dots represent on the lewis dot diagram?
Valence electrons
