Study Notes
Lewis Dot Structures
- Sublevels, orbitals, and maximum electrons:
- s: 1 orbital, max 2 electrons
- p: 3 orbitals, max 6 electrons
- d: 5 orbitals, max 10 electrons
- f: 7 orbitals, max 14 electrons
- Sulfur has a Lewis Dot Structure represented by 6 valence electrons.
- Potassium has a Lewis Dot Structure represented by 1 valence electron.
- Fluorine's electron dot symbol has 7 valence electrons.
- Aluminum's electron dot symbol has 3 valence electrons.
- Neon has 8 valence electrons and is stable (noble gas) while Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and is reactive.
- Argon has the most valence electrons among the listed elements with 8 valence electrons.
- Carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Electron Configuration
- Electron arrangement is referred to as electron configuration, filling lowest energy levels first.
- Ground state is the lowest energy state for an electron.
- Aufbau Principle states that electrons fill lower energy orbitals before higher ones.
- Hund's Rule dictates that electrons must singly occupy orbitals before pairing.
- Pauli Exclusion Principle asserts that paired electrons in an orbital must have opposite spins.
- Iron’s electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s².
- Oxygen’s electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.
Noble Gas Notation
- Nitrogen: [He] 2s² 2p³
- Sulfur: [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴
- Nickel's Noble Gas Notation is [Ar] 4s² 3d⁸.
- The highest energy sublevel for Vanadium is 3d³.
- Chlorine's correct electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
Periodic Table Groups
- The valence orbital notation provided corresponds to group 17 of the periodic table.
- Breaking Aufbau’s principle happens in configurations where higher orbitals fill before lower ones.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
- Electromagnetic radiation types ranked by wavelength and energy:
- Longest wavelength & lowest energy: Infrared
- Visible light has higher energy than microwaves.
- Frequency and energy relationship is direct; as frequency increases, energy increases.
- Wavelength inversely decreases with an increase in frequency.
- Energy of a photon is directly related to its frequency and inversely related to wavelength.
- As one moves from radio waves (long wavelength, low frequency) to gamma rays (short wavelength, high frequency), photon energy increases.
- An inverse relationship graph illustrates that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
