Cards

Term
bond energy
Definition
the energy required to break 1 mole of the bond in the gas phase
Term
electromagnetic radiation
Definition
a type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields
Term
quantum-mechanical model
Definition
explains how electrons exist in atoms and how those electrons determine the chemical and physical properties
Term
frequency equation
Definition
v=c-speed of light/wavelength
Term
order or light waves
Definition
radio, microwave, infrared,visible, uv, x-ray, gamma
Term
equation for the energy of light is directly proportional to its frequency
Definition
E=hv
Term
equation for the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength
Definition
E=(hv)/wavelength
Term
Stern-Gerlach experiment
Definition
demonstrates electron spin (ms), in experiment, they shoot a beam of silver atoms through a slit and then through a magnet, and count the number of electrons that hit a certain spot on a blank sheet
Term
Pauli's exclusion principal
Definition
each electron has to have 4 unique quantum numbers
Term
Zeff (effective nuclear charge)
Definition
as you move to the right across a period, it increases. this results in smaller radii, because the pull on the electrons is greater. the Zeff is what the electron is "experiencing".equals the actual nuclear charge - the number of core electrons
Term
ionization energy
Definition
the energy it takes to remove an electron. is always +, because it takes energy to remove an electron. TREND: increases to the right, decreases going down. it is easier to remove an electron that is farther from the nucleus because it is held less tightly.
Term
electron affinity
Definition
the energy associated with gaining an electron int he gaseous state. is more exothermic as you move to the right. when an atom gains an electron it releases energy. normally (-)
Term
paramagnetic
Definition
has unpaired electrons. IS WEAKLY ATTRACTED TO AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD
Term
diamagnetic
Definition
all electrons are paired
Term
*isoelectronics
Definition
Term
nodes
Definition
nodes mean that it is a more complicated shape; higher energy
Term
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Definition
limits how well we know where an electron is. 6.63*10^-34
Term
radical
Definition
reactive molecule
