CHEM H2A Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Valence Electron, Noble Gas, Principal Quantum Number
Document Summary
Textbook: chemistry structure and properties by nivaldo j. tro. Lower value of l w/in a principal level, the lower the energy: e (s orbital) < e (p orbital) < e (d orbital) < e (f orbital) Coulomb"s law: coulomb"s law: attractions & repulsions between charged particles, conclusions: Potential energy associated w/ interaction of like charges is positive but decreases as particles get farther apart. Like particles tend to repel each other so like charges that are close have a high potential energy. Potential energy associated w/ interaction of unlike charges is negative & gets more negative as the particles move closer together. The magnitude of the interaction between charged particles increases as the charges of the particles increases. Penetration: penetration: phenomenon of some higher-level atomic orbitals having significant amounts of probability w/in the space occupied by orbitals of a lower energy level, an e- that undergoes this experiences a greater nuclear charge & lower energy.
