electrons never...

stay still

100
name everything l can stand for and do

orbital

0=s (circle)
1=p (infinity)
2=d (clover)
3=f (3d clover)

100

explain the following terms: non-polar, polar, ionic, dipole moment

non-polar: electrons shared equally (0.45-)

polar: electrons shared unevenly (0.45-1.7), includes δ+/δ-

ionic: electrons are moved (1.70+)

dipole moment (polar/non-polar molecule): symmetry

100

what's an intramolecular vs. intermolecular force

intramolecular: within a molecule, strong

intermolecular: between separate molecules

100

which bond is stronger, sigma or pi

sigma

200

electrons emit different frequencies of...

light (probabilities vary: shapes)

200

what's hund's principal

fill each orbital with 1 electron before doubling up

200

describe the pattern for atomic radius

atoms get bigger going down to the left (Fr is big)

- more electrons in valence shell means smaller radius/more pull

200

describe these bonds: hydrogen, dispersion, dipole-dipole

hydrogen: attraction between a hydrogen (δ+) and another element (δ-) in another element

- liquid at room temperature. DNA, proteins etc.

dipole-dipole: attraction between a positive (δ+) and negative pole (δ-), just not hydrogen

dispersion: in all molecules due to temporary dipoles (sharing of electrons)

- liquid/gas at room temp. weak

200

what does n, m, s stand for in electron configurations

n = row (1-7)

m = orientation (-1, 0, -1 etc.)

s = spin (+-1/2)

300

what's electron probability density

biggest likelihood of finding an electron

300

what's a degenerate orbital

has the same energy

300

describe the pattern for ionization

increases going up and to the right (He is the most)

- amount of energy needed to take away from electron (noble gases wanna keep, so their # is high)

300

describe differences between diamond and graphite

diamond (tetrahedral): shiny, solid, high melting point, hard, can’t conduct electricity

graphite (hexagonal sheet): smooth, black, solid, can conduct electricity

300

how do you write/draw & the (long & short) electron configuration

write: go down the orbitals as the periodic table does, listing everything (or just go from the noble gas in the row before)

-  oxygen: 1s22p4

draw: go down the orbitals as the periodic table does, writing up and down arrows for each electron

400

what's a quanta

energy needed to get to the next shell (isn't consistent)

400

what's aufbau principal

electrons are added to an atom starting at the lowest energy and moving to the highest energy orbital

400

describe the pattern for electronegativity

increases going up and to the right (F is the most) (noble gases not included)

- ability to steal electrons (F wants to take 1 to get full = high, Fr wants to get rid of 1 to be full = low)

400

explain the following terms: adhesion, cohesion, viscosity

adhesion: attraction between unlike molecules (rises up stem)

cohesion: attraction between like molecules (water stick to water)

viscosity: measure of resistance of flow (honey)

400

what are the only true magnetic elements

iron, nickel, steel, cobalt

500

what's the photoelectric effect

electrons travel in waves, particles and both

500

what's the difference between paramagnetic vs. dimagnetic

paramagnetic: unpaired electrons

magnetic: all paired electrons

500

describe the pattern for electron affinity

increases going up and to the right (roughly?) (He is the most)

- likelihood the atom can hold its electrons

- fuller the shell and closer to nucleus, more it holds its electrons

500

explain the following: buckyballs, nanotubes, metallic crystals

buckyballs: C60, high melting point (ball)

nanotubes: buckyball without an end (open)

metallic crystals: conduct heat and electricity, soft (electrons are free to move)

500

what does VSEPR stand for and what does it mean

system for naming 3D shapes

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
