Term
What is Daltons Atomic Theory?
Definition

states that atoms are indivisible and indestructable particles of matter.

atoms of the same element have the same properties and atoms of different elements have different properties

Two or more element combine to form compounds with rearanged atoms in whole number ratios.

 

Term
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Definition
mass or matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Term
What is the Law of Constant Composition?
Definition
compounds consist of elements combined in definite proportions by mass
Term
How is Daltons Atomic Theory different from the Modern Atomic Theory?
Definition
Atoms can be divided and atoms of the same element can have different masses
Term
What does an atom consist of?
Definition
a nucleaus containg protons and neutrons with electons in a cloud around the nucleaus containg mostly empty space.
Term
What are the three subatomic particles and what are their charges?
Definition

Protons-+

Neutrons- no charge

electrons- negative

Term
What does 1 atomic mass unit equal?
Definition
1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
Term
What is the Atomic Number of an element?
Definition

It is specific for each element

is the same for all atoms of an element

is equal to the number of protons in an atom

Term
What is the number of protons equal to in an atom?
Definition
The number of electons
Term
What is the Mass Number?
Definition

represents the nember of particles in the nucleaus.

is equal to the protons plus the neutrons.

can be different for different atoms of the same element.

Term
How do you find the number of neutrons in an atom?
Definition
Mass Number - Atomic Number
Term
What are isotopes?
Definition
atoms of the same elemment that have different mass numbers.
Term
What are Ions?
Definition

They form when atoms lose or gain electons.

Have unequal numbers of protons and electrons.

have a net electrical charge.

Term
What are cations?
Definition
a loss of electrons forming a positive ion.
Term
What are anions?
Definition
a gain of electrons forming a negative atom
Term
What is the electon configuration?
Definition
How electons are distributed in the electron cloud.
Term
What does light equal?
Definition
electomagnetic radiation
Term
what is λ?
Definition
Wavelength
Term
what is ν?
Definition
Frequency
Term
what is c?
Definition
the speed of light
Term
What is the speed of light equation?
Definition

λ(Wavelength) • ν(Frequency)

 

Term
How are wavelength and frequency related?
Definition
They are inversly related
Term
λ(Wavelength) has units of what?
Definition
M, μm, nm, & Å(angstroms)
Term
ν(Frequency) has units of what?
Definition
s-1, Hz, kHz, and MHz
Term
what is the energy of light directly related to?
Definition
The frequency
Term
What is the equation for the energy of light?
Definition
E(energy of light)= h(Plancks constant) • ν(Frequency)
Term
Explain what the Bohr Model shows?
Definition

Showed that when energy is added to atoms, electrons move from their lowest energy state(ground state) to a higher energy level(excited state).

when electrons fall from the higher state to a lower state of energy they give of packets of light energy called photons

Term
What is the Heinsburg uncertainty principle?
Definition
it is impossible to know simiultaneously the position and momentum of an electron.
Term
What is the principle quantum number?
Definition

the number associated with shells of electrons and is directly related to the size and energy of the orbital.

represented as n

Term
What is the angular momentum quantum number?
Definition

relates to the shape of the orbital and has ranges from 0 to n-1.

represented as an l

Term
What are the orbital shapes and what is their angular momentum quantum number?
Definition
s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3
Term
What is the magnetic quantum number?
Definition
related to how the orbital is aligned in 3-dimensional space. values range from negative l to l.
Term
how many orbital are possible for s,p,d, and f?
Definition
s=1, p=3, d=5, f=7
Term
What is the max number of electons in th s, p ,d, and f subshells?
Definition
s=2, p=6, d=10, f=14
Term

What is the filling order orbital diagram?

                                        6s 6p 6d 6f

                                        7s 7p 7d 7f

Term
What is the valence shell?
Definition
the highest numbered, outermost shell.
Term
What are the core electrons?
Definition
The electrons below the valence shell that do not normally participate in chemical reactions
Term
What are the two exceptions to expected electron configurations you need to know?
Definition

Cr=[Ar]4s13d5

Cu=[Ar]4s13d10

Term
What is the octet rule?
Definition
the rule stating that every electron is tryin to fill the the outermost shell with 8 electrons
Term
What is the natural trendecies of metals and nonmetals?
Definition

Metals tend to lose electrons to for cations

nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form anions
