Re: + or - w
when work is done on the system it is + and when work is done BY the system it is -. I think in physics, they use the opposite equation where U=q-w which is why that might be opposite, but in chem we use U=q+w.

If you are just using the cathode - anode equation you don't need to flip any numbers because the minus sign takes care of that. But, if you are using the method of writing out the half reactions and making the net equation, you'll have to make sure you flip the E for the oxidation half reaction.

Re: Shielding and Electron Replusion
shielding occurs across energy levels because the electrons in the energy levels that are closer to the nucleus block the electrons higher up from receiving the full charge. electron-electron repulsion occurs within the same energy level because when there are multiple electrons, they push each othe...

Re: 1D.19
to find orbitals you would use ml. the values can range from -l to +l so you would need to find l from n and then find the values for ml.

Re: When do you use a negative sign in the Bohr equation?
the negative is always there in the equation because if we say that as n --> infinity, that E is 0, as the electron comes back down from high energy levels and approaches the nucleus, it loses energy and the values for energy are "negative." in a review session, a good analogy used was ......

Re: Increasing Light Intensity Photoelectric Effect
frequency determines whether or not electrons are emitted. the intensity increases the number of photons but not that actual energy.

Re: Why does formal charge indicate stability?
since formal charge indicates the gain/loss of electrons while forming a covalent bond, it serves as a predictor for stability in a lewis structure. The structure with the least formal charge should be lower in energy and thereby be the better Lewis structure.

Re: Effective Nuclear Charge
example: with oxygen (+8), the outer electrons are being blocked from the full charge by the inner electrons. the inner electrons shield the outer electrons from the electrostatic attraction of a positive nucleus. the outer electrons feel a reduced electrostatic attraction and this results in an eff...

Re: Electron Affinity
going off the previous answer, there is a high electron affinity for elements in the top right of the periodic table so it follows a similar trend to ionization energy in that it decreases down and group and increases across a period. this does exclude noble gases though because adding an electron t...

Ionization Energy Across a Period
I get that as you go down a group, the electrons get further away from the nucleus and are shielded by the inner electrons so the ionization energy decreases. Why does ionization energy increase across a period?

Re: 2nd Ionization Energy
Something to also consider: the 1st ionization energy is easier because the atom would be neutral and when you remove an electron, the charge becomes positive and the attraction on that 2nd electron would be higher

Re: removing electrons
You would need to pull from the outermost electrons so if you had 4d10 5s2 5p1 you would pull or add from 5p1 first and then if you need to pull more you would move on to 5s2. Pay attention to the numbers out in front of the orbitals and pull from the highest number first.

You would normally find the electron configuration and pretend like it does not have a + or -. After finding the normal electron configuration, you can go in and add or remove an electron. The only time you would not be able to look for the normal configuration in the periodic table is if you were l...

Re: Total Coulombic potential energy
electrostatic potential energy is proportional to/ depends on ((q1)(q2))/ r where q1 is the charge 1, q2 is the charge 2, and r is distance. electrostatic energy goes up when the charge of the nucleus goes up and and goes down when the distance goes up because E and r are inversely proportional.

Re: exhibiting wave-like properties
In lecture today, it was said that a particle with less than 10^-15m wavelength does not have detectable wavelength properties. If the mass is higher, it will have a smaller wavelength and therefore is more likely to only have particle-like behavior and not wave-like behavior.
