Study Notes
Magnetic Moment
- The magnetic moment (m s) is directionally oriented with a spin of +1/2 or -1/2.
- If two electrons occupy the same orbital, they must have opposing spins.
- Elements formed by filling low-lying f orbitals have this property.
Electronegativity
- Represents an element's affinity for its electrons and ability to gain additional electrons.
- Increases from left to right across a period and from bottom to top in a group (excluding group VIIIA).
- This increase is due to the shielding effect of inner electrons diminishing the nucleus' attractive force on valence electrons.
Types of Bonding Interactions
-
Ionic Bonding: Electrostatic force between oppositely charged entities (cations and anions).
- Cations are less electronegative and lose valence electrons.
- Anions are more electronegative and gain valence electrons.
- Ionic bonding can also occur between unlike molecules, playing a role in solution formation.
- Hydrogen Bonding: Important in interactions between complex molecules and secondary protein structures.
