What is an electron?
A cloud of negative charge,
1 of 17
What are the shells on atoms called?
Energy levels
2 of 17
What is the formula to discover the maximum number of electrons in an energy level?
2nsquared where n is the number of the main energy level,
3 of 17
What sub-level does Level 1 have and how many electrons can it hold in TOTAL?
's' and can hold 2
4 of 17
What sub-levels does Level 2 have and how many electrons can it hold in TOTAL?
's' and 'p' and can hold 2 in the 's' level and 6 in the 'p' level so can hold 8 in total
5 of 17
What sub-levels does Level 3 have and how many electrons can it hold in TOTAL?
's', 'p' and 'd' anc 's' can hold upto 2 electrons, 'p' sub-level can hold upto 6 electrons and the 'p' sub level can hold up to 10 with a total of 18 in Level 3,
6 of 17
What sub-levels does Level 4 have and how many electrons can it hold in TOTAL?
's', 'p'. 'd' and 'f' and the 's' sub-level can hold up to 2 electrons, 'p' sub-level can hold upto 6 electrons, the 'p' sub level can hold up to 10 and the 'f' sub-level can hold up to 14 electrons with a total of 32
7 of 17
What theory do we use for a more complete conscription of the elcetron and when was it developed?
Quantum mechanics in the 1920s
8 of 17
What does the solution to the equation give?
the probalilty of finding an electron in a given volume of space called an atomic orbital,
9 of 17
An electron fills a volume in space. What is this volume called?
Its atomic orbital,
10 of 17
What probality is there of finding a volume of space with an electron?
95%
11 of 17
What is the maximum number of electrons each ORBITAL hold?
2
12 of 17
How many electrons can one p-oribital hold and why?
2 but p-orbitals come in groups of three orbitals to give 6 electrons in the p sub-level,
13 of 17
How is an orbital represented and the electrons inside?
An orbital is represented as a box and the 2 electrons in each are two half arrows, one facing up and the other down,
14 of 17
What proeprty do electrons have?
Spin so two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins
15 of 17
What are the three rules for allocating electrons to atomic orbitals?
Lower energy orbitals are filled first and within these lower levels the lower sub-levels are filled first, -Atomic orbitals of the SAME energy fill singly first before pairing starts, -No atomic orbital can hold more than 2 electrons,
16 of 17
Why do atomic orbitals of the same energy fill singly with electrons first?
As they repel one another
