10 Cards in this Set

- Back
N = ? |
Principal number and Orbital energy(size) (1, 2, 3, ...) |
|
l = ? |
Orbital shape (0 to n-1). Also corresponds to s, p, d, and f orbitals respectively. |
|
Mi = ? |
Orbital orientation (-l to 0 to +l) |
|
Ms=? |
Spin (+1/2 or -1/2) |
|
Exclusion principle |
No two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers. |
|
Shielding |
Reduces the full nuclear charge to an effective nuclear charge, the nuclear charge an electron actually experiences, and this lower nuclear charge makes the electron easier to remove. |
|
Effects of penetration |
It increases the nuclear attraction for a 2s electron over that of for a 2p electron. It decreases the shielding of a 2s electron by the 1s electron. |
|
Electron configuration vs orbital diagram. |
Electron configuration involves n, l, ml, ms. Orbital diagram involves boxes with arrows drawn in. |
|
Special rule for 3d orbitals. |
Best examples are chromium and copper, though this applies to other elements too. |
|
Valence electrons |
For main-group elements, the valence electrons are the outer electrons. For transition elements, in addition to the outer ns electron, the (n-1)d electrons are also valence electrons. |
