What is a quantum
A Packet of energy
Who's theory was it that energy was quantized into specific units?
Planck
What are photons?
Electromagnetic radiation that can be viewed as a stream of particles
What is deBroglie's Equation and what does it prove?
Wavelength = (Planck's Constant (h)/mass*velocity). This proves that matter exhibits properties of waves
What happens when a sample of H2 gas receives a high energy spark?
The H2 molecules absorb energy and some of the H-H bonds are broken
What is an emission spectrum?
A group of various colors. A specific color is released based on the wavelength of the excited atom
What does a "line" emission spectrum indicate in a hydrogen atom?
Only certain energies are allowed for the electron in the hydrogen atom.
What is Niels Bohr's quantum equation for the hydrogen atom?
E=(-2.178*10^-18J) * (Z^2/N^2)
n = integer for energy state of atom
Z=nuclear charge of the atom
What is the equation for ∆E?
Energy of final state - Energy of initial state
What is the general equation for the electron moving from one level to another level?
∆E=(-2.178*10^-18J)*(1/n^2final-1/n^2initial)
According to the Bohr electron model, what happens to the electron as it becomes more tightly bound
The electron's energy becomes more negative.
What does the square of a wave function (Ψ^2) indicate
The square of the wave function (Ψ^2) indicates the probability of finding an electron near a particular point in space
What is Ψ^2 most conveniently represented as?
A probability distribution
What does the Ψ indicate and how is it characterized?
an orbital. it is characterized by a series of numbers called quantum numbers
What is the value of l for every term of n
l=0 to n-1
What are the letters assigned to:
l=0
l=1
l=2
l=3
s
p
d
f
What is the value of m(l)?
-l...0...l
What are angular momentum quantum numbers?
numbers related to the shape of the atomic orbital. symbolized by l
What are magnetic quantum numbers?
numbers related to the orientation of the orbital in space relative to the other orbitals in the atom. symbolized my m(l)
What is the Pauli Exclusion Principal?
In a given atom no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n,l,m(l),m(s)
what is the value of m(s)
1/2 or -1/2 based on the spin of electrons. 1/2 of odd, -1/2 is even
What is Hund's rule
The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed in a particular set of degenerate orbitals. All of the electrons spin up before more downspin electrons are added to
What are Valence electrons?
electrons in the outermost principle quantum level of an atom
What two atoms have a special case and what is it
Cr and Cu. One of the s electrons is moved to the d orbital to make it more stable
What is the first ionization energy?
the energy required to remove the highest-energy electron of an atom
Why does Phosphorus have a greater ionization energy than Sulfur
The electron configuration of Phosphorus shows that since it has 3 up spinning electrons it is more stable than sulfur that has only one electron with a dual spin
What is a polar covalent bond?
A bond between two atoms where electrons are shared unequally between nuclei resulting in fractional (partial) charges
What are the rules for electronegativity trends?
1. Increases from left to right across a period
2. Generally decreases from top to bottom down a group
3. Fluorine is the most electronegative element
What type of bond is there when the electronegativity difference is zero?
Covalent
What type of bond is there when the electronegativity difference is intermediate?
Polar Covalent
What type of bond is there when the electronegativity difference is large?
Ionic
Explain Dipolar
When a molecule (such as HF) has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge:
1. The molecule has a dipole moment.
What are isoelectric ions?
ions containing the same number of electrons (O2-, F-, Na+, Mg2+, Al 3+)
What is Lattice Energy?
the change in energy that takes place when separated gaseous ions are packed together to form an ionic solid
What is the formula for enthalpy?
∆H=∑D(Bonds Broken)-∑D(Bonds formed)
Which elements can exceed the octet rule?
elements in period 3 or below
Which two elements often have fewer than 8 electrons around them in their compounds?

What is Resonance?
Resonance is invoked when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a molecule. The correct description of the molecule is not given by any one of the resonance structures, but by the superposition of all the resonance structures.
What is Formal Charge?
The difference between the number of valence electrons on the free atom and the number of valence electrons assigned to the atom in the molecule.
