-n describes the ____ of an orbital
-l describes the ____ of an orbital -m describes the number of ____ orbitals an element possesses choices: shape size atomic |
size
shape atomic |
|
the n level describes the energy level (1, 2, 3,...)
|
measure of size
|
|
the smaller the n number...
|
the smaller the energy level...
the closer it is to nucleus |
|
s orbital
|
spherical
symmetrical centered on the nucleus |
|
p orbital
|
composed of two lobes
symmetrically about nucleus contain a node |
|
node
|
an area where the probability of finding an electron is zero
|
|
d orbital
|
4 symmetrical lobes
2 nodes |
|
when two atomic orbitals combine, they form a ____ orbital
|
molecular
|
|
if the signs of the wave functions are the same for the molecular orbital, they form a bond/non-bond orbital
|
lower energy = bond
|
|
if the signs of the wave functions are different for the molecular orbital, they form a bond/non-bond orbital
|
higher energy = non-bond
|
|
sigma bond
|
head to head or tail to tail overlap
single bond accommodate 2 electrons |
|
pi bond
|
when two p orbitals line up in parallel (8 8); electron clouds overlap
-2 bonds form; double bond sigma and pi bond |
|
triple bond
|
2 pi bonds and a sigma bond
|
|
double/triple bonds both ____ rotation
|
hinder
|
|
pi bonds ____ a sigma bond
|
require
|
|
pi bonds are ____ than sigma bonds in comparison, but strength is additive(strength of pi bond and sigma bond of the double bond) so therefore double/triple bonds are ____ overall
|
weaker
stronger -breaking single bond requires more energy than a pi bond... |
|
the more bonds between molecules, the ____ the distance between them
