How does the atomic radius change across a period?

Decreases

100

What type of bond is formed between Na and I?

ionic

What is the relationship between wavelength and temperature in blackbody radiation?

Shorter wavelengths are associated with higher temperatures. ie they are inversely proportional

200

what is the Pauli's Exclusion Principle?

Pauli's Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in the same atom can have identical values for all four of their quantum numbers.

200

Is fluorine paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

It is paramagnetic as it has unpaired electrons

200

What are the characteristics of an ionic compound?

  • They all form crystals.
  • They have high melting and boiling points.
  • They are hard and brittle. 
  • They conduct electricity well when dissolved in water.
  • As a solid, ionic compounds are good insulators.

What does |Ψ|² represent in the Schrödinger equation?

Probability of finding an electron at a particular point

300

What is the electronic configuration of Cu?

[Ar] 4s1 3d10

300

Which group atoms absorb energy when they aquire an electron?

Atoms in group 2, group 18 and N

300

What is the electron pair geometry around an atom with 4 electron pairs?

Tetrahedral

400

How many radial nodes does the 2p orbital have?

radial nodes = n-l-1

for 2p orbital, n=2 and l=1

radial nodes = 2-1-1 = 0

400

what is the ground state electronic configuration of Br+2

[Ar] 4s3d10 4p3

400

why does ionization energy decrease from N to O?

the nitrogen atom has a half-filled atomic orbital and hence, it will be more stable than the oxygen atom. So more energy is required to remove an electron from N than O.
