Cards

Term

What is the energy difference btwn

n=3 , n=4

and

n=1,n=2

Include why?

Definition

n=3 and n=4 has a smaller energy difference

(they are farther away from nucleus)

compared to

 

n=1 and n=2

(closer to nucleus)

Term

define the quantum number ' n', 

what does a larger n indicate?

Definition

principal quantum number that has a integer value

 

↑n= ↑energy↑ oribtal radius

 

*remmeber high energy means more unstable (more likely to engage in chemical rxns they have further from nucleus)

Term
define the quantum 'l'
Definition

 decides the :

shape and number of subshells within a given principal energy level (shell)

Term
How does'n' affect 'l' ?
Definition

n limits l !

For any given value of n, 'l 'can only have values in the range of :

0 to (n-1)

 

Term

If n=1, what does that mean in refernce to: 

# subshells

value of 'l'?

 

Definition

n=1

1 subshell

(so the 1st principal energy level has only 1 subshell)

l= 0 (only)

(s)

Term

If n=2, what does that mean in refernce to: 

# subshells

value of 'l'?


Definition

2 subshells 

(the 2nd prinipal energy level)


'l '=  0 and 1

(s) and (p)

Term

If n=3, what does that mean in refernce to: 

# subshells

value of 'l'and name the oribtal you are in


Definition

3 shells

(3 principal energy level)

l=0, 1, 2

(s,   p,  )

Term

If n=4, what does that mean in refernce to: 

# subshells

value of 'l'?

Definition

4 subshells

 

l:  0 (s),  1  (p), 2  (d)   ,3 (f)
*remember (n-1)= l

 

Term

The maximum number of the electrons within the any given subshell?

 

in reference to n& l?

 

 

 

Definition

 

2n2

 

 

4+2 

Term
What does the quantum mumber ml mean?
Definition

tells the particular orbital within a  subshell where an electron is highly likely to be found at a given time.


(this tells us that , s shell has 1, p shell has 3, etc)

Term
What are the values for ml?
Definition

integers btwn  :

-l     to    + l

 

including 0

 ex: if l=1

(-1,0,1)

Term
Give the l,m values for the s oribtal
Definition

l=0

ml=0

 

* remember the s shell has  1 oribital

Term
Give the l,m values for the p oribtal
Definition

l=1

ml= -1 ,0,1

 the p shell oribtal has '3'oribtals

Term

give # oribitals in the following subshells:

s,p,d,f

Definition

s: 1 orbitals

p: 3 

d: 5

f:7

 

(as you go to next level you add 2)

Term
What does the quantum number ms stand for:
Definition

magnetic spin of the ELECTRON

has values of : +1/2 to - 1/2

Term
Give the formula how to calculate the  energy value of a quantum
Definition

E= hf

 

where h= 6.626 x 10-34 (Planks)

f= frequency of a photon

(could also be v)

 

 

Term

1.Give formula for the frequency of a photon

2. What is the unit for the wavelength

and give the conversion to makeit work in the equation.

Definition

f= c

     λ

 

c= 3 x 108 m/s

(speed  of light )

 

λ= wavelength (nm)

need  to mult by 109

Term

Give Avagrados constant

Planks

 

Definition

avagrados: 6.023 x 1023

(there is a holiday celebrated at 6:02,time is always positive)

 

planks: 6.626 x 10 -34

(down the plank)

Term

Define Hund's rule

Pauli's exclusion principal

Definition

Hunds: every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.


 ,     ,(the blue came first)

Pauli: states that no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers. The first three may be similar but the four quantum number must be different.

Term
Which elements on periodic table have half filled orbitals in order to decrease their stablilites?
Definition

Cr

Cu

Ag

Au

Term

Fix this config for Cr so that is more stable:

[Ar] 3d4 4s2

Definition
[Ar] 3d5 4s1
Term

Fix this config for Cu so that is more stable:

[Ar] 3d9 4s2

Definition

[Ar] 3d10 4s1

 

its adding to that big d instead of having more e- furhther from nucleus, makes it more reactive

Term

Fix this config for Ag so that is more stable:

[Kr] 4d9 5s2

Definition
Kr] 4d10 5s1
Term

fix this config so that is more stable:

[Xe] 4f14 5d9 6s2

Definition
[Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1
Term

Define 'l'

Define'ml'

Give the example of the p oribital

Definition

l: # of subshells and shape for a value of 'n'

ml:  tells what  specific oribital where you can find an electron in a subshell.

ex 

n=2

l= 0,1 (2 subshells)

ml=-1 ,0,3 (3 oribitals)

Term

atomic  weight def

give   unit

Definition

weight of an element as an average of the isotopes of a particular element

 

unit:grams  per mole

Term
isotope def
Definition

a different form of the same element (will have a charge b/c it has gained or lossed electrons)

but has a different # of neutrons


do not confused with cations and anions (these happen with rxns etc)

Term
Do isotopes have different  # of protons or electrons or both?
Definition
no isotopes only differ in the # of neutrons
Term
atomic emission  spectrum def
Definition

spectrum of light created when an atom's electron's fall to to their ground state from a higher energy level

 

*remember this causes energy to be released (emitted).

Term
atomic absorption spectrum def
Definition

spectrum of light created when an atom's electron's  are excited to  higher energy levels

 

*remember this requires energy to be absorbed

Term
paramagnetic material
Definition
has unpaired electrons
Term
diamagnetic material
Definition
no unpaired  electrons
Term
heisenberg uncertanity principal def
Definition

it is impossible to calc the:

momentum & position of an electron at the SAME time

(remember you can calculate the momentum and velocity at the same time)

Term
is an electron always static (referring an energy levels)?
Definition
no, even when an electron is in its ground state the electron is not completly static.
