CHEM1211 Exam 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ionization Energy | the energy required to remove an electron from an ion in the gaseous state |
| What is first ionization energy | Energy to remove the first electron |
| Why does ionization energy decrease down a group | Because n increases |
| Why does ionization energy increase across a period | Because Zeff increases |
| Electronegativity | The ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself in a chemical bond |
| Quantum Number Format | (n, l, m sub l, m sub s) |
| n | Principle quantum number, size and energy |
| l | Orbital angular momentum quantum number, shape |
| m sub l | Magnetic quantum number, orientation of orbital |
| m sub s | Electron spin quantum number, orientation of electron spin |
| Principle shell | Orbitals with the same value of n |
| Subshell (sublevel) | Orbitals with the same value of n and l |
| Number of orbitals | 2l+1 |
| s orbital shape | spherical |
| p orbital shape | dumbbell |
| d orbital shape | a lot of dumbbells |
| Node | Zero probability of finding electron density |
| n-1 | Total number of nodes in different orbitals |
| Pauli exclusion principle | No 2 electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers |
| Degenerate meaning | Orbitals with the same principal number have the same energy |
| Single electron atom | Degenerate |
| Multi electron atom difference | Shielding (screening) and penetration |
| Penetration | The ability of inner (core) electrons to get closer to the nucleus versus outer (valence) electrons |
| Shielding | Because of penetration, the inner electrons shield/screen outer electrons from the nucleus |
| Zeff | Effective nuclear charge, attraction electrons would experience in the absence of intervening electrons |
| Electrons with smaller Zeff values have what | Greater energies |
| Aufbau principle | Electrons fill subshells of the lowest available energy first, and then subshells with the greatest energy |
| Hund's rule | - The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons in a set of degenerate orbitals - Electrons in singly occupied degenerate orbitals must have parallel spins |
| Paramagnetic | Atom or ion that contains unpaired electrons and that is attracted to an external magnetic field |
| Diamagnetic | Atom or ion that in which all electrons are paired and that is not attracted to an external magnetic field |
| Polarizability | The ease of distorting the electron density in an atom or ion |
| Polarizability and atom size relationship | Increasing atom radii increases polarizability (same with ions) |
| Lattice energy | Energy required to separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions |
| Exothermic | The change in energy when gaseous ions are packed together to form an ionic solid |
| Endothermic | The energy required to separate one mole of a crystalline ionic solid into its gaseous ions |
| Isoelectronic series | Atoms and ions with an identical number of electrons |
| Magnitude and lattice energy relationship | The larger the magnitude, the more favored the lattice energy |
| Ion size and lattice energy relationship | Increased atomic radii decrease energy release |
| Electronegativity | The ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself in a chemical bond |
| Most electronegative element | Fluorine |
| Least electronegative element | Francium |
| Period 2 elements | Especially N,O,F, and Cl- , high electronegativity |
| Unpaired electrons are more likely to? | Form bonds |
| Resonance | When more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a molecule or ion |
| Resonance hybrid | The actual electronic structure is the average of all resonance structures |
