CHEM 001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Unpaired Electron, Isoelectronicity, Diamagnetism

15 views3 pages

Document Summary

Paramagnetic species have 1 unpaired electron(s) and are attracted to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic species have no unpaired electrons and are slightly repelled by magnetic fields. To determine if a species is para or dia, consider its orbital diagram. Ionic radii increase going down a group. Cations are smaller than their corresponding atoms; anions are bigger. In an isoelectronic (same number of electrons) series: S 2- > cl - > k + > ca 2+ Cations are much smaller than their corresponding atoms. A decrease in electron-electron repulsions pulls in the remaining electrons. Anions are much larger than their corresponding atoms. An increase in electron repulsions causes electrons to spread out. The minimum energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. Valence electrons are much easier to remove. M + (g) + ie 2 m 2+ (g) + e- Ie increases up a group because valence electrons are closer to the nucleus.
