Term
Hund's Rule
Definition
Single electrons with the same spin must occupy each energy-equal orbital before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy same orbitals.
Term
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Definition
A max of 2 electrons can occupy a single atomic orbital, but only if they have opposite spins.
Term
AufBau Principle
Definition
Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available.
Term
Principle Quantum Number
Definition
Indicates relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals.
Term
Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
Definition
Shows electrons treated as waves; doesn't show movement or path.
Term
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Definition
It is fundamentally impossible to precisely know both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.
Term
Planck's Constant
Definition
6.626 x 10(-34) J/s
Term
Octet Rule
Definition
Atoms tend to lose, gain, or share, electrons in order to acquire a full set of eight valence eletrons
Term
Ions
Definition
Have charge due to loss/gain of electrons. Valence Electrons are lost first.

Term
John Newlands
Definition
(1864) Proposed an organizational structure because he recognized a pattern: properties repeated every 8 elements (Law of Octaves).
Term
Who published the periodic table and in what year?
Definition
In 1869 German Meyer and Russian Mendeleev published the periodic table, which organized elements by increasing atomic # and mass.
Term
Who complied a list of elements in the 1700's?
Definition
Lavoissier, also created the Law of Conservation of Matter!
Term
Periodic Law
Definition
There is periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of the elements when they are arranged by increasing atomic #.
Term
Meyer, what he do?
Definition
Demonstrated a connection between atomic mass and elemental properties and published the periodic table with Mendeleev in 1869.
Term
Mendeleev, what he do?
Definition
Demonstrated a connection between atomic mass and elemental properties and published the periodic table with Meyer in 1869. Also predicted the existence and properties of undiscovered elements.
Term
Henry Moseley, what he do?
Definition
Discovered that atoms contain a unique number of protons called the atomic #. Arranged elements in order of increasing atomic number, which resulted in a periodic pattern of properties.
Term
Representative Elements
Definition
Elements from groups 1 and 2 and 13 through 18.
Term
Transition Metals
Definition
Groups 3-12
Term
Inner Transition Metals
Definition
(F-Block) Group 8
Term
Speed of Light
Definition
3 x 10(8)
Term
Which color has most frequency and the shortest wavelength?
Definition
violet
Term
Most reactive element AND largest atomic radius?
Definition
Francium
Term
Electronegativity definition and trend
Definition
Def= Atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. Fluorine has greatest electronegativity.
Term
Atomic Radius trend
Definition
Francium has greatest atomic radius
Term
Ionization Energy trend
Definition
Fluorine has greatest
Term
Metalloids
Definition
Elements near squigly line
Term
Erwin Schrodinger
Definition
"Electrons are waves"
