Structure 3.1: High Yield Flashcards
Test your recall of key definitions and trend logic.
Concept
Trend: Radius across Period
Answer
Decreases ( increases, pulling shell closer).
Concept
Trend: IE down Group
Answer
Decreases (Shielding increases, outer e- further away).
Concept
Isoelectronic Series Trend
Answer
More protons () = Smaller Radius.
Concept
Why is IE < IE?
Answer
Al electron removed from 3p (higher energy/shielded by 3s).
Concept
Why is IE < IE?
Answer
Spin-pair repulsion in the 3p orbital of S.
Concept
Amphoteric Oxide Example
Answer
(Reacts with both HCl and NaOH).
Concept
Definition: Transition Metal
Answer
Atom or stable ion with incomplete d-subshell.
Concept
Why is Zn not Transition?
Answer
Atom () and Ion () have full d-shells.
Concept
Origin of Color in Complexes
Answer
d-d transitions (electron promotion across split d-orbitals).
Concept
Spectrochemical Series
Answer
Ligands ordered by splitting strength ().
