CHMB41H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Atomic Orbital, Wave Function, Covalent Bond
Document Summary
1. 1 why it matters carbon represent a small percentage of the atoms on earth. Can bond to itself and make 3d structures and react. 1. 2 organic molecules from the inside out i: the modelling of atoms. Atomic orbital a probability map of where electrons are in space around the nucleus wavefunction mathematical description of the molecular quantum state of an electron or particle. A max of two spin-paired electrons can occupy an orbital. Quantized is the fixed value of the energy of an atomic orbital. Degenerate atomic orbitals any set of orbitals that have the same energy value. The (cid:373)ost sta(cid:271)le arra(cid:374)ge(cid:373)e(cid:374)t of a(cid:374) ato(cid:373)"s ele(cid:272)tro(cid:374)s are whe(cid:374) its ele(cid:272)tro(cid:374)s o(cid:272)(cid:272)upy the lowest energy orbitals. For c, n, o, f their 2 1s electrons are so stable that they do not participate in bonding to other atoms. Less stable orbitals are valence orbitals and electrons in them are valence electrons. 1. 3 organic molecules from the inside out ii: bonding.
