|
Term
| Know the basic definition of a reversible reaction and roughly how it works. (Page 208) |
|
Definition
| when a chemical reaction changes direction. ties in with equilibrium. |
|
|
Term
| What is Le Chatelier’s Principle? How did Haber use it to produce ammonia? (Page 212-215) |
|
Definition
| 1. if stress is applied to a system at equilibirm, the system shifts direction to relieve the stress. 2. Haber would use equilibrium to make amonia, take the amonia out, then the reaction would make more. |

Term
| What are the 3 ways we discussed in class to affect the rate of a reaction? (Page 216-217) How does a Catalyst work? |
|
Definition
1. increase temprature, increase concentration, add a catylist. 2. a catylist decreases the activation energy which increases the rate of equilibrium. |

Term
| After Bohr’s Model, scientists discovered sublevels what we now call orbitals. What are the 4 orbital types? (Page 233) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| How many electrons can you fit in an S? In a P? In a D? in a F? How many spots do they have, and how many electrons fit in them? |
|
Definition
| 2, 6, 10, 14! Because they have 1,3, 5, and 7 spots (or orbitals, think of it as it's lines within an energy level, they are sub levels! 1 has 1. 2 has 3 sub levels. etc,) respectively. and you can fir 2 electrons per spot. |

Term
| If I am finding 17e, and it stops at 3p with 5 electrons remaining (3p fills 6) what do I do? how do I write the answer? |
|
Definition
| 3p lil 5. 3p5. because it shows how many are in there. |
