The quantum mechanical model of the atom primarily describe The energies and probable positions of electrons around the nucleus. the fundamental principle that states we cannot simultaneously know both the exact position and momentum of an electron- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle According to the Quantum Mechanical Model, what describes the region of space where an electron is MOST LIKELY to be found is the ORBITAL lowest principal quantum number (***n***) that an electron can have IS *n=1*, because it represents the first energy level where electrons can exist. orbital designation has the highest energy-4s, because it fills before 3d but still has higher energy once occupied. **Properties of Ionic Compounds** 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. **-** methane considered the simplest alkane **Because it contains only one carbon atom, making it the smallest possible alkane.** **-CH3CH2CH2CHCH2CHCH2CH3, because it is a branched alkane with eight carbon atoms**. -condensed formula for octane -carbon form stable chains while other elements typically **cannot Due to carbon\'s unique ability to form strong carbon-carbon bonds** **-**Alkene, because it contains at least one double bond between carbon atoms -Carbon atoms can form single, double, or triple bonds.\" Because **The ability to share multiple pairs of electrons** **-**organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen -**HYDROCARBON** compounds with carbon and hydrogen atoms only. -ALKANE SINGLE BOND ALKENE DOUBLE BOND ALKYNE TRIPLE BOND
