Electron Energy and Chemical Bonding Lecture Review

Flashcards based on lecture notes covering electron energy levels, atomic structure, single and polar covalent bonding, and thermal observations of ice.

What terms are described as meaning the same thing as electron energy levels?

Shells and orbitals.

How many total electrons can the second energy level hold?

Eight.

If an atom has a total of six electrons, how many electrons are in its second energy well?

Four.

Can an electron travel in between energy levels as it moves from an inner shell to an outer shell?

No, it cannot travel in between.

What is the stable number of electrons referred to by the "octagonals"?

Eight.

What is the atomic number and proton count for hydrogen as stated in the lecture?

Atomic number one, with one proton.

What type of bond is formed in water when two electrons are shared?

A single bond.

What type of bonding leads into involvement in a hydrogen bond?

Polar covalent bonding.

In the experiment described in Chapter 3, which axis represents temperature?

The y-axis.

What sequence of temperature changes occurs when ice in a container is placed on a lighted stove?

The temperature goes up a little bit, then levels off, and then starts to rise again.
