counter ions to balance the charge

Term
coordination number
Definition
the number of donor atoms around the metal 
Term
oxidation number of Co
Definition
charge of the Co + charge of NH3 = +3

C.N=6
Definition
octahedral
Term
crystal field theory 
Definition

metal ligands bond = electron interaction

surrounding ligands disturb the D orbitals energy levels of metal center 

Term
octahedral geometry
Definition

metal cation is surrounded by 6 ligands along the x y and z axes

repulsive interaction between metal and ligands--> destabilizing d orbitals 

Term
magnetic properties
Definition
arrangement of electrons
Term
nuclear reaction 
Definition

involves changes in nucleus of atom

neutrons protons and electrons 

changes idenity of the atoms 

Term
nuclear fission
Definition

heavy nucleus deivides to form smaller nucleus and neutrons 

extremely exothermic

- more neutrons produced

Term
breader reaction 
Definition

use uranium fuel 

produces more fissionable material 

Term
critical mass
Definition
the minimum mass of fissionable material required to generate a self sustaining nuclear chain reaction 
Term
natural radioctivity
Definition

a decay of unstable radioactive nuclei 

main radiation 

Term
nuclear binding energy
Definition

1. qyantitative way to measure nuclear stability

2. energry required to break up nucleus into its component protons and neutrons

Term
electron capture 
Definition
capture of electrons usually 1 s
Term
below the belt
Definition
too many protons too few neutrons
Term
belt of stability
Definition
the stable nuclei lie outside the belt
Term
thermodynamics
Definition

study of the interconversion of energy

explain why a chemical reaction occurs

Term
energy changes =
Definition
energy trasferred from one object to another
Term
what are the three type of systems 
Definition

open 

closed 

isolated

Term
energy transfer
Definition
involves the transfer of heat and work
Term
the measurement of heat
Definition

heat=thermal energy

determined by calorimeter

Term
heat released by reaction=
Definition
heat absorbed by the water
Term
Work (W)
Definition

another form of energy

energy transferred when an object is moved by force

Term
heat absorbed by the system
Definition
+
Term
heat released by the system
Definition
-
Term
state function
Definition

depends only on the current state of the system

 

Term
the first law of thermodynamics
Definition

1. based n the law of coservation of energy

2. energy can be converted from one from to another, but cannot be created or destroyed

Term
U is affected by
Definition
P, V and T
Term
change in H 
Definition
the difference between the enthalpies of the products and the reactatns

standard ethalpy of formation
Definition

enthalpy of a compound in the standard state

obtained by enthalpy change for the formation equation 

formation equation 

Term
2nd law of thermodynamics
Definition
the entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneuous process and remains unchanged in an eq process
Term
spontaneous process occrus?
Definition
without needing to be driven by external influence
Term
Entropy (S)
Definition

a measure of disorder
