Chapter 1 - Atomic Structure

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
chemistry   study of the nature of matter  
🗑
atom   basic building block of matter, smallest unit, made of subatomic particles  
🗑
proton/neutron   make up the nucleus  
🗑
protons   carry single positive charge; 1 amu  
🗑
Z   atomic number, number of protons for an element  
🗑
Neutrons   carry no charge, slightly larger than protons, isotopes have diff these but the same protons  
🗑
A   mass number, protons + neutrons  
🗑
Electrons   carry single negative charge, hella small mass  
🗑
Valence electrons   electrons farthest from nucleus  
🗑
reactivity   valence electrons and their activity determine ___ of an atom  
🗑
atomic weight   weight in g/mol using avogadro's number  
🗑
isotopes   species of atoms with same number of protons but diff number of neutrons  
🗑
How to find atomic weight given percentages and amu   multiply percentage with correct amu and then add those numbers up  
🗑
A-Z   amount of neutrons  
🗑
Planck's Constant   h; 6.626x10^-34 Js  
🗑
quanta   bundles of electromagnetic radiation E  
🗑
The smaller the radius of an electron   the lower the E state of the electron  
🗑
orbitals   representation of the probability of finding an electron within a given region  
🗑
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle   states that it is impossible to determine with perfect accuracy the position and momentum of an electron simultaneously  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   no two electrons in a given atom can have the same set of 4 quantum numbers  
🗑
energy state   position and E of an electron described by quantum numbers  
🗑
Principle Quantum Number   n; the larger the number, the higher the E lvl and radius of electron's orbit  
🗑
Azimuthal Quantum Number   L; angular momentum; sublevels of each E lvl; ranges from 0 to n-1; 0, 1, 2, 3 = s, p, d, f  
🗑
Magnetic Quantum Number   m.e.; specifies the particular orbital within a sublevel where an electron is likely to be found; L to -L  
🗑
Spin Quantum Number   m.s.; intrinsic angular momentum; two orientations 1/2 and -1/2  
🗑
How to determine what subshell is filled first   n + L, whichever is lower gets filled first  
🗑
Hund's Rule   within a given subshell, orbitals are filled such that there are a max number of half-filled orbitals with parallel spins  
🗑
Paramagnetic   if the material has unpaired electrons and attract atom  
🗑
Diamagnetic   no unpaired electrons and slightly repelled  
🗑


   

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.
