define
REACTION RATE |
determines the speed of a chemical reaction
|
|
define
ENERGY OF ACTIVATION |
E sub(a) - energy required for the inital bond breaking
|
|
define
EXOTHERMIC REACTION |
net release of energy (hot)
|
|
define
ENDOTHERMIC REACTION |
net absorption (cold)
|
|
define
BOND ENERGY |
either absorbed as a bond breaks, or released as a bond forms - energy
|
|
formula:
energy of a reaction |
Esub(rxn [kJ/mol]) = Esub(formation/products [molxE kJ]) - Esub(breaking/reactants [molxE kJ + molxE kJ])
|
|
formula:
molar mass |
m [g] = n [mol] x M [g/mol]
|
|
formula:
concentration percent weight (volume concentration) |
concentration [%] = (volume or mass of solute) / (volume or mass of solution) x (100% solution) = % solute
|
|
formula:
concentration Molarity (mass) |
C concentration of solution [g/L] = m [g] / V [L]
|
|
formula:
concentration Molarity (mol) |
C concentration of solution [mol/L or M] = n [mol] / V [L]
|
|
formula:
# of neutrons in a nucleus |
# of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = (# protons + # neutrons) - (# protons)
|
|
rule:
atoms are neutral, therefore.. |
#protons = #electrons
|
|
rule:
properties of elements |
size decreases from left to right and from bottom to top
|
|
rule:
electronegativity |
en increases from left to right and from bottom to top
(F en = 4) |
|
define:
metals |
most of the elements in the table
shiny, opaque, good electrical & heat conductors, can change form, can bend without breaking |
|
define:
nonmetals |
poor conductors, nonmalleable, nonductile
|
|
define:
metalloids |
semi-conductors, weak electrical conductors
|
|
groups/categories:
halogens/halides |
F, Cl, Br, I
group 17 |
|
groups/categories:
noble gases |
He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe
|
|
groups/categories:

groups 3 to 12
|
|
groups/categories:

group 2
|
|
formula:
quantum concept |
E [J] = h [Js] x f [Hz or 1/s]
|
|
define:
Planck's constant |
h = 6.63 x 10^-34 Js
|
|
define:
electron volt |
eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J
|
|
formula:
energy of excited states/orbits |
Esub(n) = Esub(1) / n^2
Esub(1) depends on the atom - will be energy level of orbit #1 Esub(n) depends on the level/orbit/shell |
|
define:
quantum numbers |
1. n - main energy level
2. energy sublevel - s,p,d,f 3. orientation s - 1 orientation p - 3 orientations d - 5 orientations f - 7 orientations 4. direction of spin |
|
rule:
naming compounds |
1. name of element further to the left is followed by the name of the element further to the right, with the suffix "-ide" added to the name of the latter
2. when 2 or more compounds have different numbers of the same elements, prefixes are added to remove the ambiguity |
|
rule:
valence electrons must be.. |
..in s & p orbitals
|
|
rule:
determining the type of ion an atom needs to form |
1+ 2+ 3+ 4- 3- 2- 1- 0
|
|
define:
ionic bonds |
electron transfer
|
|
define:
covalent bonds |
electron sharing
|
|
rule/definition:
electronegativity & types of bonds |
EN = type of bond
0-.5 = covalent .5-1.8 = polar covalent 1.8 < = ionic |
|
