CHEM1040

General Chemistry I

TermDefinition
Principle Quantum Number (n) the main energy level of atom's electrons
Orbital Angular Momentum (l) the shape of the electron orbital
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) permitted orbitals in any group
Spin Quantum Number (ms) electron spin
Pauli's Exclusion Principle no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers, 2 electrons per orbital, same orbital = paired spin
Hund's Rule orbitals with the same momentum number fill from lowest to highest, "all have one before any have two"
Diamagnetic all spins are paired
Paramagnetic at least one unpaired e-
Aufbau Rule electrons are added one by one, orbitals are ordered by increasing energy, all electron orbitals have identical energies
Effective Nuclear Charge (Zeff) increases ↗
Atomic Size increases ↙
Ionization Energy increases ↗
Electron Affinity increases → (generally)
Bond Order indicates the degree of bonding between two atoms, higher bond order = stronger and shorter bond
Resonance Structures different representation of the same bonding
AB2 Linear, 180°
AB3 Trigonal Planar, 120°
AB2E Bent, 120°
AB4 Tetrahedral, 109.5°
AB3E Trigonal Pyrimidal, 109.5°
AB2E2 Bent, 109.5°
AB5 Trigonal Bipyrimidal, 90°, 120°, 180°
AB4E Seesaw, 90°, 120°, 180°
AB3E2 T-Shaped, 90°, 180°
AB2E2 Linear, 180°
Diatomic Molecule non-polar if items are identical, polar otherwise
Triatomic Molecule non-polar if linear with identical atoms, polar otherwise
Empirical Formula defines the mole ratio of the elements simplified to the LCD
Molecular Formula the number of each type of atom in a molecule
Molecular Equation reactants and products are written as molecular substances
Complete Ionic Equation strong electrolytes are written as separate ions in a solution
Net Ionic Equation spectator ions are cancelled out
Arrhenius Acid produces H+ ions
Arrhenius Base produces OH- ions
Bronsted-Lowry Acid proton donor
Bronsted-Lowry Base proton acceptor
K<1 favours reactants
K>1 favours products
K=1 equilibrium
Q<K too few products (shifts right)
Q>K too few reactants (shifts left)
Q=K at equilibrium
Le Châtelier's Principle if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed, the reaction proceeds to counteract the change and re-establish equilibrium
Concentration +R = shift right, -R = shift left -P = shift right, +P = shift left
Partial Pressure +V = shift to more moles, -V = shift to less moles -P = shift more moles, +P = shift less moles
Temperature Heat as R -> +H = shift right, -H = shift left Heat as P -> -H = shift right, +H = shift left
Lewis Acid electron pair acceptor
Lewis Base electron pair donor
Acidic Cations conjugate acids of weak bases, small, high charge metal ions
Neutral Cations group 1 and 2 cations, +1 charged metals
Acidic Anions HSO4-, H2PO4-
Neutral Anions conjugate bases of strong acids
Basic Anions conjugate bases of weak acids
Common Ion Effect the shift of an ionic equilibrium due to an addition of solute containing ions in the equilibrium
Buffer a solution that resists change in pH, amount between 0.1 - 10
Effective Buffer pKa +- 1

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
