1
Anions
________ are larger than atoms because the atom has an overall negative charge, increasing the amount of electron- electron repulsions.
New cards
2
photoelectron spectrum
A(n) ________ (PES) is a graph of the ionization energies for all electrons when ejected from the nucleus.
New cards
3
Electrons
________ have significantly less mass than protons and neutrons and do not contribute to the mass.
New cards
4
Electronegativity
________ is how much an elements nucleus attracts electrons.
New cards
5
Isotopes
________ are atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons, but same amount of protons.
New cards
6
Molarity
________ (M) expresses the concentration of a solution in terms of volume.
New cards
7
Percent composition
________ is the percent by mass of each element in a compound.
New cards
8
Aufbau principle
________ says electrons must fill up orbitals, subshells, and shells in order of increasing energy.
New cards
9
electromagnetic radiation
When electrons absorb ________, a form of energy, the electrons can jump to higher energy levels.
New cards
10
Bohr model
The ________ serves the purpose of understanding atomic structure rather than structural accuracy.
New cards
11
Avogadros Number
________ is the number of atoms in a single mole of any given element.
New cards
12
electrostatic force
The ________ is the attraction between opposite charges and the strength can vary depending on now for the charges are from each other.
New cards
13
subshell
A(n) ________ is the shape of the space an electron can be found in.
New cards
14
ionization energy
Once a shell is empty, the ________ greatly increases because it is closer to the nucleus.
New cards
15
mass spectrometry
determines the average mass for different isotopes of a specific element
New cards
16
Coulomb’s Law
the closer an electron is to the nucleus, the stronger the attraction and the less potential energy there is.
New cards
17
Pauli Exclusion Principle
________ states that when two electrons fill up an orbital, they must spin in opposite directions: clockwise and counterclockwise.
New cards
18
Hund’s Rule
________ states that when electrons are filling the orbitals of the subshell, they will only have two in one orbital when it is not possible to have each electron in its own orbital.
New cards
19
valence electrons
electrons in the outermost shell of an element
New cards
20
cation
an ion that is positively charged after giving up an electron
