1
New cards

schrodingers & heisenberg atom

cloud of electrons and explained how electrons jump

2
New cards

heisenberg uncertainty principle

we cannot state where an electrons exactly is on any given time but we do know the region it exists (it is on)

3
New cards

bohrs atom

included electrons circling the nucleus in orbits

4
New cards

orbital

region where electron is found 90% of the time (2 electrons can fit in the orbital)

5
New cards

how many orbitals does sublevel S have?

1

6
New cards

how many orbitals does sublevel P have?

3

7
New cards

how many orbitals does sublevel D have?

5

8
New cards

how many orbitals does sublevel F have?

7

9
New cards

sublevel S & P

4 total orbitals (1+3) (x2= total # of electrons)

10
New cards

sublevel S, P, & D

9 total orbitals (1+3+5) (x2= total # of electrons)

11
New cards

sublevel S, P, D, & F

16 total orbitals (1+3+5+7) (x2= total # of electrons)

12
New cards

what 2 things does the energy level indicate

amount of energy an electron has and how far they are from nucleus

13
New cards

what 2 things does the subevel indicate

number of electrons & shapes (direction they are travelling)

14
New cards

pauli exclusion principle

maximum of 2 electrons per orbital opposite signs (roomates who dont like eachother)

15
New cards

aufbau principle

fill lowest energy orbital first (few expectations to this rule except Cu, Cr, Ag, & Au because having half full on completley full d sublevel by taking one s e- is more stable)

16
New cards

hunds rule


max # of unpaired electrons in equal energy orbital

17
New cards

atomic emissions spectra

pattern of light color emitted by electrons

18
New cards

electron jumping to higher energy level

the absorption of a photon (bundle) of energy (matches difference between two energy levels)

19
New cards

photon

packet of light that an electron absorbs/ emits

20
New cards

electron jumping back down to ground state

releases its energy by emitting a photon (packet of energy) which causes an electron to emit light

21
New cards

elements emitting light with particular color ‘fingerprint’

their electrons occupy energy levels & every element has a different # of protons/ electron (they absorb different frequencies of photon energy)

22
New cards

ground state

normal energy level/ sublevel (write it with electron configuration)

23
New cards

excited state

greater than normal energy level for electron

24
New cards

what kind of light emits a mixture of frequencies?

sunlight, LED light

25
New cards

different colors of light when burning fireworks

different metals produce different colors when burned because they absorb different frequencies of photons

26
New cards

electronegativity

ability of an atom to attract electrons in compound (F= highest, Fr= lowest)

27
New cards

ionization energy

energy needed to remove atom/ existing electron (F= highest, Fr= lowest)

28
New cards

atoms get smaller, electronegativity increases, & ionization energy increases (as you go left to right across PT within same group)

because of increase # of protons & increase in nuclear charge (proton pull) (elements are less inclined to lose electrons & want one more)

29
New cards

proton pull

increases as you move left to right, it affects period trend because # of proton in nucleusnincrease (protons have stronger pull in nucleus on valence e-)

30
New cards

atoms get bigger, electronegativity decreases, & ionization energy decreases (as you go top to bottom on PT)

because youre adding layers of electrons & distance from nucleus (shielding, creates interference between nucleus & valence e- which causes electronegativity & ionization energy to decrease)

31
New cards

shielding

distance from nucleus, interference from inner electrons, it affects group trend because it increases as you move down a column, as you move down PT there are many layers of electrons that create interference between nucleus & valence e- (Fr= high shielding, Fe= low shielding)

32
New cards

smallest atomic size

closest to right/ farthest up because proton pull, less energy levels (layers)

33
New cards

lowest electronegativity

closest to left/ farthest down because more shielding (group trend) & less proton pull

34
New cards

highest ionization energy

closest to right/ farthest up because less shielding (higher on PT) & more proton pull, electrons are difficult to remove from atom

35
New cards

why does increasing the # of protons make the element/ atom smaller & electronegativty/ ionization energy higher?

because of shrinking of atom, as you increase the p+ they pull on valence e- more

36
New cards

why does increasing shielding make the element/ atom bigger & electronegativty/ ionization energy lower?

because shielding makes more energy levels, creates interference between nucleus (p+) % valence e-, extra electron shells are added as you go down which increases inner-electron shielding/ distance which weakens nucleus oull on outer electrons
