| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Electron Configuration? | It is a particular distribution of electrons among the avaliable subshells. |
| What is an Orbital Diagram? | A diagram to show how the orbitals of a subshell are occupied by electrons. |
| What is the Pauli exclusion principle? | It summarizes about experimental observations about that no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. |
| What is the Aufbau principle? | It is a scheme used to reproduce the electron configurations of the ground states of atoms by successively filling subshells with electrons in a specific order. (s = 2, p = 6, d = 10, f = 14) (1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,5s,4d,5p,6s,4f,5d,6p,7s,5f) |
| What is Hund's Rule? | It states that the lowest-energy arrangement of electrons in a subshell is obtained by putting electrons into separate orbitals of the subshell with the same spin before pairing electrons. |
| What is a paramagnetic substance? | Is a substance that is weakly attracted by a magnetic field, and this attraction is generally the result of unpaired electrons. |
| What is a diamagnetic substance? | Is a substance that is not attracted by a magnetic field or is very slightly repelled by such a field. This property generally means that the substance has only paired electrons. |
| A cation of +2 indicates that an element has? | Lost two electrons. |
| When you see a (-) in an element that indicates what? | Additional electron. |
| What is a ground state of an atom? | It is the lowest-energy configuration of an atom. |
| In what group are Noble gases? | In group 8A: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton |
| What group are located the Halogens? | Group 7A: Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine, and Tennessine. |
| What group are located the Alkali Metals? | Group 1: H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr |
| What group are located the Alkaline Metals? | Group 2A: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra |
| What group are located the Chalcogens? | Group 6A: O, S, Se, Te, Po |
| How many valence electrons do the halogens possess? | 7 |
| What is Molecular Geometry? | It is the general shape of a molecule, as determined by the relative positions of the atomic nuclei. |
| What is the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model? | It predicts the shapes of molecules and ions by assuming that the valence-shell electron pairs are arranged about each atom so that electron pairs are kept away from one another as possible. |
| What is the Valence bond theory? | It is an approximate theory put forth to explain the electron pair or covalent bond by quantum mechanics. |
| What are hybird orbitals? | Are orbitals that are used to describe the bonding obtained by taking combinations of the atomic orbitals of the isolated atoms. |
| What is a sigma bond? | It has a cylindrical shape about the bond axis. |
| What is a pi bond? | It has an electron distribution above and below the bond axis. |
| List the number of sigma bonds and pi bonds in a single bond? | 1 sigma, 1 pi |
| List the number of sigma and pi bonds in a double bond? | 1 sigma, 2 pi |
| There are ______ sigma bonds and _______ pi bonds in H3C-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-C-=CH. | 16,3 |
| Identify the number of electron groups around a molecule with sp hybridization? | 1 |
| What is Molecular orbital theory? | Is a theory of the electronic structure in terms of molecular orbitals, which may spread over several atoms or the entire molecule. |
