| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| stoichiometry | process of using a balanced chemical equation to determine the relative masses of reactants and products in a reaction |
| limiting reactant | runs out first |
| excess reactant | isn't fully used up |
| theoretical yield | max amount of a product that can be formed when the limiting reactant is completely consumed |
| actual yield | amount of product recovered in a reaction (most often less than theoretical yield) |
| percent yield | percent of theoretical yield recovered in a chemical reaction %yield=actual yield/theoretical yieldX100 |

| velocity | all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed |
| ground state | lowest energy level for electrons |
| excited state | electrons have absorbed energy |
| electron orbital | region of space around a nucleus where there is a 90% chance of finding an electron |
| principal energy level | -each level has different # of sublevels -each sublevel is a different region of space(s,d,p,f) |
| orbital | specific region of space inside a sublevel -up to 2 electrons in each orbital -each electron must have an opposite spin |
| electron configuration | a way to display the location of all electrons in an element (look at electron config. periodic table) (Ex. Li: 1s^2, 2s^1) |
| core electrons | electrons in inner levels |
| valence electrons | electrons in outer sublevel |
| noble gas configuration | shortcut for electron config. (Ex. Li: [He] 2s^1) |
| activeness of atoms | -most chemically active metals=lower left -most chemically active nonmetals=upper right(except noble gasses) -properties of metalloids=between metals+nonmetals |

| ionic bonding | attraction between oppositely charged ions |
| ionic compound | compound results when a metal reacts with a nonmetal to form cations and anions |
| covalent bonding | atoms share electrons |
| polar covalent bond | electrons are not shared equally because 1 atoms attracts shared electrons more than the other atom |
| electronegativity | tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself |
| electronegativity on period table | -increases left to right -decreases when going down a group |
| bonds depended on electronegativity | -very similar=very little polarity bond -very different=very polar bond -difference>2.0=ionic bond |
| dipole moment | property of a molecule in which the charge distribution can be represented by a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge |
| charges on ions | -gr. 1 metals=1+ cations -gr. 2 metals=2+ cations -aluminum in group 3A=3+ cation -gr.7A=1- anions -gr. 6A=2- anions |
| anions and cations | anions are negative and are larger cations are positive and are smaller |
| lewis structure | representation of a molecule or polyatomic ion showing how valence electrons are arranged among the atoms in the molecule or ion (only valance electrons are included) |
| duet rule | H and He both need 2 valance electrons to fill the first level |
| octet rule | most atoms must have 8 valance electrons to be stable |
| bonding pair | pair of electrons that are shared |
| lone pair(unshared pair) | pair of electrons that aren't shared |
| single bond | 1 pair of electrons are shared by 2 atoms |
| double bond | 2 pairs of electrons are shared by 2 atoms |
| triple bond | 3 pairs of electrons are shared by 2 atoms |
| resonance | condition occurring when more than 1 valid lewis structure can be written for a particular molecule |
| molecular structure(geometric structure) | 3-D arrangement of atoms in a molecule |
| bent or V-shape structure | 2 bonds and 2 unshaired pairs on central atom(could also be double bond, single bond, and 1 unshaired pair) |
| linear structure | 2 double bonds on central atom (or only 2 atoms in molecule) |
| trigonal pyramid structure | 3 single bonds and an unshaired pair or central atom |
| tetrahedral structure | 4 single bonds on central atom |
| valence shell electron pair repulsion(VSEPR) model | model used to predict molecular geometry -the structure around a given atom is determined by minimizing repulsions between electron pairs |
