Question
Answer
Aufbau procedure   "building up"; adding electrons to one subshell until it's full before moving to the next subshell  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   a max of 2 electrons per orbital as long as they have opposite spin; no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers  
🗑
Hund's Rule   parallel before paired; when filling degenerate orbitals, electrons occupy them singly (one at a time) with parallel spin before pairing up  
🗑
ground state   the lowest energy state  
🗑
excited state   not the lowest energy state  
🗑
degenerate   equal in energy  
🗑
node   a region in space where there is zero probability of finding an electron  
🗑
shell   n (1, 2, 3, ...)  
🗑
subshell   n & l (1s, 2s, 2p, ...)  
🗑
Where is the "s" block found?   the left side  
🗑
Where is the "p" block found?   the right side  
🗑
Where is the "d" block found?   the middle  
🗑
Where is the "f" block found?   the bottom  
🗑
The s block starts with what?   1s  
🗑
The p block starts with what?   2p  
🗑
The d block starts with what?   3d  
🗑
The f block starts with what?   4f  
🗑
Special electron configurations occur when what are involved?   1. filled outermost subshells 2. half-filled subshells  
🗑
Which electrons are removed in cations?   the electrons from the outermost shell (which is not necessarily the outermost subshell)  
🗑
isoelectronic   having the same electron configuration  
🗑
paramagnetic   attracted into a magnetic field; having unpaired electrons  
🗑
diamagnetic   slightly repelled by a magnetic field; having all electrons paired  
🗑
valence electrons   outer shell electrons  
🗑
core electrons   inner shell electrons  
🗑
For abbreviated electron configurations...   Put the proceeding noble gas symbol in brackets before writing the valence electrons  
🗑
shielding   the ability of other electrons, especially inner core electrons, to decrease the nuclear attraction for an outer electron  
🗑
effective nuclear charge   the nuclear charge that an electron experiences  
🗑
atomic size trend   increases toward the lower left and decreases toward the upper right  
🗑
ionization energy trend   increases toward the upper right and decreases toward the lower left  
🗑
What is the relationship in size between a cation and its parent atom?   smaller than their parent atom  
🗑
What is the relationship in size between an anion and its parent atom?   larger than their parent atom  
🗑
In an isoelectronic series, what is the trend in size?   size decreases with increasing nuclear charge  
🗑
ionization energy   the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion  
🗑
What are the exceptions in ionization energy?   1. between column 2 and 13 because it is easier to remove the higher energy p electron than the lower energy s electron. 2. between column 15 and 16 because column 15 has a half-filled subshell  
🗑
When does a "huge jump" occur in ionization energies?   when an inner core electron is removed  
🗑
electron affinity   the energy change (delta E) the occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom; some negative and some positive  
🗑
The more electronegative the element,   the more the atom "wants" the electron  
🗑
What groups have positive or near-positive electron affinities?   Groups 2 and 18  
🗑
What group has the most negative/most exothermic electron affinities?   Group 17 (halogens)  
🗑
What do you use to make individual predictions?   electron configuration and nuclear charge  
🗑


   

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.
