New cards

Anions

________ are larger than atoms because the atom has an overall negative charge, increasing the amount of electron- electron repulsions.

2
New cards

photoelectron spectrum

A(n) ________ (PES) is a graph of the ionization energies for all electrons when ejected from the nucleus.

3
New cards

Electrons

________ have significantly less mass than protons and neutrons and do not contribute to the mass.

4
New cards

Electronegativity

________ is how much an elements nucleus attracts electrons.

5
New cards

Isotopes

________ are atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons, but same amount of protons.

6
New cards

Molarity

________ (M) expresses the concentration of a solution in terms of volume.

7
New cards

Percent composition

________ is the percent by mass of each element in a compound.

8
New cards

Aufbau principle

________ says electrons must fill up orbitals, subshells, and shells in order of increasing energy.

9
New cards

electromagnetic radiation

When electrons absorb ________, a form of energy, the electrons can jump to higher energy levels.

10
New cards

Bohr model

The ________ serves the purpose of understanding atomic structure rather than structural accuracy.

11
New cards

Avogadros Number

________ is the number of atoms in a single mole of any given element.

12
New cards

electrostatic force

The ________ is the attraction between opposite charges and the strength can vary depending on now for the charges are from each other.

13
New cards

subshell

A(n) ________ is the shape of the space an electron can be found in.

14
New cards

ionization energy

Once a shell is empty, the ________ greatly increases because it is closer to the nucleus.

15
New cards

mass spectrometry

determines the average mass for different isotopes of a specific element

16
New cards

Coulomb’s Law

the closer an electron is to the nucleus, the stronger the attraction and the less potential energy there is.

17
New cards

Pauli Exclusion Principle

________ states that when two electrons fill up an orbital, they must spin in opposite directions: clockwise and counterclockwise.

18
New cards

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.

19
New cards

valence electrons

electrons in the outermost shell of an element

20
New cards

cation

an ion that is positively charged after giving up an electron
