Tells the energy sublevel or the type of orbital the electron is in
Core Electrons
The inner electrons of an atom
Electron Configuration
The notation showing how electrons are arranged in the orbitals
Group
The vertical arrangement (18 groups) in the periodic table
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
States that no one can exactly measure everything about electron's movement and location
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)
Denotes the orientation of the orbital in space
Orbit
A definite path traveled by an electron around the nucleus as described by Planetary Model
Orbital
A region, space, or cloud outside the nucleus where electrons can be found
Period
The horizontal arrangement (7 periods) of elements in the periodic table
Principal Quantum Number (n)
Gives the energy level an electron belongs to
Spin Quantum Number (ms)
Determines the way an electron spins (either clockwise (+1/2) or counterclockwise (-1/2))
Valence Electrons
Electrons found at the outermost energy level of an atom
Ionic bond
Happens between a nonmetal and a metal
Covalent bonds
Characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more nonmetallic elements
Ionic compound
Forms when metallic and nonmetallic elements bond
Covalent compound
Forms when two or more nonmetallic elements bond
Chemical formula
Shows the kind and number of atoms present in a molecule
Chemical name
Shows the names of each element in a compound
Physical property
A characteristic that can be observed or measured
‘carbon’ is the Latin word ‘carbo’ which means charcoal.
organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds.
Hydrocarbons
The simplest organic compounds that contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen
Hydrocarbons
Classified either as aliphatic or aromatic
Aliphatic hydrocarbons
Carbon atoms are linked with each other in open chains, either straight or branched
Types of aliphatic hydrocarbons
Alkanes
Cycloalkanes
Alkenes
Alkynes
Aromatic compounds
Compounds that contain benzene rings as part of their structure
Alkanes
Saturated hydrocarbons with single carbon-to-carbon covalent bonds
Alkenes
Unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one double carbon-to-carbon covalent bonds
Alkynes
Unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one triple carbon-to-carbon covalent bonds
Functional Group
Responsible for the reactivity of the organic compound, these group of atoms affect the behavior of the parent organic molecule
Types of Functional Groups
Alcohol
Ether
Aldehyde
Ketone
Carboxylic acid
Ester
Amine
Amide
Halide
Alcohol
Due the presence of OH group, it can form hydrogen bond that will results to higher boiling pt. compare to its parent molecule
Ether
Have low boiling point compare to alcohol due to its inability to form hydrogen bond, but it is more reactive than alkanes
Aldehyde and Ketone
Both contain carbonyl group which is carbon double bonded to an oxygen, the difference is in aldehyde the carbonyl group is at the end of the organic compound while in ketone the carbonyl group is inside the organic compound
Carboxylic Acid
Organic acid that contains both hydroxyl group and carbonyl group on the same carbon
Ester
Derived from its parent molecule which is carboxylic acid and alcohol, known for its fragrant smell
Amine
Characterized by the presence of nitrogen atom a lone pair of electrons and three substituents, neurotransmitters are amine-based molecule
Amide
Derived from carboxylic acid and amine, the simplest amides are derivatives of ammonia, amides are very weak bases
Halide
Binary compound wherein one part is a halogen, halides are used as solder paste
Formula mass
The sum of atomic masses of the ions present in the formula unit of an ionic compound
