Gen Chem Questions

chapter 1, 2, 3, 4 review slides

QuestionAnswer
Tera (T) 10^12
Giga (G) 10^9
Mega (M) 10^6
Kilo (k) 10^3
Hecto (h) 10^2
Deca (da) 10^1
deci (d) 10^-1
centi (c) 10-2
milli (m) 10^-3
micro (mu) 10^-6
nano (n) 10^-9
pico (p) 10^-12
atomic mass unit equals 1/12th of the mass of one 12C atoms -12C is the most abundant isotope of carbon - 1 amu = 1.66054 x 10^-24
avogardos number -represent s the number of atoms that exist in 12 grams of 12C - 6.022 x 10^-23
Thermal energy associated with random motion -hot vs cold -heat and the "absence of heat"
Ways PE can be increased 1. when objects that attract each other are pulled apart (rock lifted off the ground) 2.when objects that repel each other are forced together (compressing a spring, push two H atoms close)
when two atoms combine to form a molecule 1. only e- interact 2. chemical properties related to e- distribution in atom
line spectra use light and how it interacts with atoms to determine e- structure
speed of light C= 2.998 x 10^8
relationship between wavelength and frequency inversely related
quantization of energy EM radiation emitted in packets ; quanta = photons - revolutionized way of thinking
If Ephoton = "binding energy" of e- e- ejected
If Ephoton greater than "binding energy" of e- e- ejected and carries extra kinetic energy
If Ephoton is less than "binding energy" of e- no e- ejected
in a gas discharge tube electric, discharge... excites gas atoms; transfers energy to e- - e- relax (drop to lower energy) energy emitted as light - not continuous, get specific colored lines
line spectrum is atomic spectrum - specific to specific elements
Bohr's Theory of the Hydrogen Atom discrete energy levels=orbits -assumed electrons are particles only but in reality, electrons have a wave property which schrodinger applied
as e- absorbs energy e- moves to a higher orbital (excited state, less stable further from nucleus)
as the electron falls it releases some thing such as energy or a photon
Louis De Brogolie reasoned that id energy (light) can behave as a particle (photon) then perhaps electrons could demonstrate eave characteristics
how observe wave properties for an electron -diffraction: properties of waves -constructive interference vs. destructive interference
standing (stationary) waves crests, troughs, and nodes stay localized (don't travel) -otherwise it would disappear (de Brogolie
Heisenberg uncertainty Principle the more precise the measurement of position, the less precise of measurement of speed (mu) -e - cannot orbit the nucleaus in a well-defined orbit
Schrodinger Equation different energy states give different wave patterns -darker region= higher density,
Hydrogen's energy levels are degenerate every value of n (shell) only has one energy value bc hydrogen only has 1 electron
multielectron once you have multiple electrons, the subshells do have different energies, even in the same shell - notice the words "for a one electron system" when calclating energy levels
higher the n... ...spacing between shells decreases
Pauli exclusion principle each orbital can only have 2 e- e- in the same orbital have opposite spin
Aufbau "build up" principle -from lowest to highest energy
Hund's rule "maximize spin" electrons will not pair until they have to -arrows should all be up before you pair
Special cases of electron configuration Cr,Cu, Ag, Au, Mo do not have to have full s shell to go into d shell
1/2 shells are.. full shells ..extra stable noble gas configurations
electron affinity electron released when an electron is added
Ea1 positive values -bring e- closer to nucleus
EA2, and EA3 unfavorable (negative values) adding e- to anion

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
