Excited atoms
absorbed energy and electrons are bumped up to upper energy levels and are unstable
Ground State
When electrons are at their lowest energy configuration
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
It is impossible to determine accurately the momentum and position of a particle (You can never know where electrons are)
Orbital
an area of high probability of finding an electron
n
energy levels
l
sublevel (s=0,p=1,d=2)
m
orbital (-l → +l)
s
spin ( +/- 1/2)
Electron Configuration
Organizing electrons in an atom with the lowest energy level to the orbital with the highest energy level
S orbital
O- shape
P orbital
infinity- shape
Aufbau principle
electrons will fill the lowest energy level first (arrow thing)
Hund
electrons will fill one orbital at a time (-1, 0 , 1)
Pauli
No two electrons can have the same quantum numbers (opposite spin)
Valence electrons
electrons in the outermost energy level
core electrons
electrons that are not in the outer energy level
Periodicity
periodic trend
Atomic radius
1/2 the distance between 2 nuclei of 2 like atoms in a solid crystal
electronegativity
the attraction that an atom has between a shared pair of electrons and its positive nucleus
e- affinity
energy change for adding an electron to an atom in a gaseous state
ionization energy
energy change for the removal of 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole in a gaseous state
Periodic trends
know about AR, IE, E- affinity, electronegativity
ionic bonds
an electrostatic attraction due to opposite charges
octet rule
atoms will lose, gain, or share e- to achieve the same electron configuration to the nearest Noble gas.
Covalent Bond
Sharing electrons
Resonance structures
2 or more valid electron dot formulas for a single molecule (can write the Lewis dot structure multiple different ways)
Sigma Bond
Bonding orbitals that overlap head to head (each bond has 1 )
Pi bond
Bondin orbitals that overlap side by side (2 in triple bonds, 1 in double bond)
VSPER Theory
electron pairs want to be as far away from each other as possible. (Why we get the shapes and angles)
Polar
unequal sharing of electrons
Non-Polar
equal sharing of electrons
Unshared pair (lone pair)
the 2 dots on dot structure
unpaired electron
alone dot on lewis dot structure
Hybridization
When S and P mold to make SP
Polar molecule
one end of the molecule is slightly negative
Non-polar molecule
symmetric polarity within the molecule
Atomic Radius Periodic trends
Side to side makes more protons and more electrons in the same energy level = less nuclear pull so decrease. Smaller . Down is more energy levels Bigger so increase (Fr is highest)
Ionization Energy Periodic Trend
side to side there is more valence electrons so increases. Up is Smaller the atom the more nuclear pull-on valence electron so smaller (He is the largest)
Electron affinity Periodic Trend
Side to side is more protons so increse. Down is more shielding. Bigger the atom the less nuclear pull so decrease (F highest)
Electronegativity Periodic trends
Side to side is more protons so increase. Down is bigger so less nuclear pull so decrease. (F highest)
shielding
inner electrons block outer electrons. Larger the atom this is increased
Orbitals of equal energy
degenerate
Isoelectronic
Species atoms/ and or ions that have the same number of electrons (same electron configuraation
intermolecular forces
weak forces of attraction between two or more molecules
Dispersion forces
the positive end of a momentary dipole is attracted to the negative end of another momentary dipole
dipole- dipole forces
the occurrence of an electrostatic attraction between the positive end of a dipole to the negative end of another
Momentary dipoles
asymmetric distribution of electrons in an atom at a gien time
Hydrogen Bonding
a dipole-dipole force of attraction between two or more molecules but is due the hydrogen bond within a molecule, specifically between H-N, H-O, and H-F
Mega
Know types of bonds chart
Know types of Bonds charts
Metallic bonds
an attraction of positive ions to a “sea” of electrons
