Question
Answer
quantum number: n   principle quantum number  
🗑
quantum number: l   angular momentum quantum number; 0 to n-1  
🗑
quantum number: ml   magnetic quantum number (orbital within a subshell); -l to l  
🗑
quantum number: ms   spin quantum number; -1/2 to +1/2  
🗑
hund's rule   orbitals filled so that max # of parallel half-filled orbitals are filled first; one orbital can't have 2 e- while another has 0  
🗑
effective nuclear charge (Zeff)   attractive, positive charge of the nucleus perceived by valence e-; INCREASE w/ electronegativity  
🗑
atomic radius   size of atom; DECREASE w/ electronegativity pattern  
🗑
ionization energy   energy required to removed an election; INCREASE w/ electronegativity & Zeff  
🗑
electron affinity   amount of energy released when an e- is added to neutral atom; larger for atoms closer to octet; INCREASE w/ electronegativity  
🗑
electronegativity   attraction of an atom for e- IN A BOND; fluorine most electronegative  
🗑
metallic character   characteristics associated with metals: electropositive, good conductors of head and electricity, malleable; DECREASE w/ electronegativity  
🗑
formal charge   valence electrons - nonbonding electrons (lone pairs) - # bonds  
🗑
AX2   linear  
🗑
AX3   trigonal planar  
🗑
AX2E, AX2E2   bent  
🗑
AX4   tetrahedral  
🗑
AX3E   trigonal pyramidal  
🗑
AX5   trigonal bipyramidal  
🗑
AX6   octahedral  
🗑
AX4E2   square planar  
🗑
molecular dipole depends on...   MAGNITUDE & DIRECTION of bond dipole  
🗑
increasing strength of intermolecular forces   dispersion forces --> dipole-dipole --> ion-dipole --> hydrogen bonding (strongest)  
🗑
Boyle's law   Pressure & Volume INVERSELY proportional; P1V1= P2V2  
🗑
Charles' Law   Volume & Temperature DIRECTLY proportional; V1/T1 = V2/T2  
🗑
Ideal Gas Law   PV=nRT  
🗑
Dalton's Law   Ptotal= Pa + Pb + Pc +....; Pa= Xa Ptotal  
🗑
Graham's Law   SPEED of gas particles if proportional to square root of their MOLECULAR WEIGHT; @ same temp, particles have same average kinetic energy; (rate A/ rate B)= sqrt (MMb/ MMa)  
🗑
gas behaves most like ideal gas at...   low pressure, high volume  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
