100

What does the quantum number ms tell us?

The spin of the electron

100

What does an orbital diagram tell us?

The 3D description of how the electrons are most likely to orient in the atom

100

What happens to atomic size as the principle quantum number n increases?

Increases

100

Are anions smaller or larger than their parent atoms?

larger

100

What is the name of the cult classic that has the famous song "The Time Warp" and stars Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter?

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

200

What is effective nuclear charge Zeff?

The nuclear charge an electron actually experiences

200

What is the aufbau principle say?

electrons are always placed in the lowest energy sublevel available

200

Why do cations have low IE and anions have high IE

Because when the atom is more willing to have a positive charge it is easier to take away an electron and visa versa for anions

200

Are cations smaller or larger than their parent atoms?

smaller

200

Which movies have over 24 minutes of just staring in them?

Twilight

300

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

No two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers

300

What is Hund's rule?

An electron will occupy the lowest energy configuration that has the maximum number of unpaired electrons

300

Why does ionization energy raise significantly for the inner electrons?

Because the atom is more stable with the inner electrons and taking them away makes the atom unstable

300

What does diamagnetic mean?

An atom with all of its electrons paired

300

What TV Show did Ariana Grande first appear in on Nickelodeon?

Victorious

400

Rank the energy of the orbital sublevels


s < p < d < f

400

What is the similar for atoms with similar electron configurations and group of the periodic table?

Chemical behavior

400

Why do reactive nonmetals have highly negative electron affinities?

Because they attract electrons to form noble gas configuration

400

What does isoelectronic mean?

Having the same electron configuration as a different atom (typically with noble gasses)

400

What is your S2i leader's major(s)?

Environmental Chemistry and Biochemistry

500

Explain how electron shielding works

The inner electrons block the outer from feeling the pull from the nucleus. The farther away from the nucleus, the lower Zeff that is felt

500

What is the difference between outer electrons and valence electrons?

Outer electrons are the ones in the highest n value and valence electrons are the one involved in bonding

500

Why does atomic size decrease as the group number increases?

Because the electrons pull in to the nucleus as the fill and become more stable

500

Does ionic size decrease or increase with increasing nuclear charge in an isoelectronic series

decreases

500

What was the name of the episode/show that brought Hannah Montana, Raven, and Zack and Cody together?

That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana
