Quantum Numbers
n and l define the energy of the electron
The principal quantum number has the symbol ~ n which defines the
energy of the shell
n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...... “shells”
The angular momentum quantum number has the symbol ~  which defines the
subshells.
 = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .......(n-1)
 = s, p, d, f, g, h, .......(n-1)
The symbol for the magnetic quantum number is m which defines the orbital.
m = -  , (-  + 1), (-  +2), .....0, ......., ( -2), ( -1), 
The last quantum number is the spin quantum number which has the symbol m s which characterizes the single electron.
The spin quantum number only has two possible values. ms = +½ or -½ one spin up ↑ and one spin down ↓
Electrons:
The Nucleus:
Hund’s Rule states that each orbital will be filled singly
Build by adding the required number of protons
before pairing begins. The singly filled orbitals will have
(the atomic number) and neutrons (the mass of the atom)
a parallel spin.
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle states that paired
electrons in an orbital will have opposite spins.
Fill the electrons in starting with the lowest energy level
adhering to Hund’s and Pauli’s rules.

Formal charge
Always Have a Full Octet
Sometimes Have a Full Octet
Sometimes Exceed a Full Octet
To calculate a formal charge
1. draw the Lewis dot structure
2. draw circles around each atom and the
electrons associated with it. Remember that
formal charges are associated with covalent
bonds and that all electrons are shared equally.
3. compare to the group number for that atom. If
the number is larger the formal charge is
negative, smaller the formal charge is positive.
To calculate an oxidation number
1. list all the elements follow with an equal sign
2. follow with the number of atoms of that type in the
molecule
1. follow with a multiplication sign
2. If the element is O follow with a -2
3. If the element is H follow with a +1
4. any other element enter a ?
5. follow with an = sign, do the math
6. draw a total line, then enter the charge on the molecule
7. Do the algebra backwards to solve for ?
VSEPR Theory
Lone pair to lone pair is the strongest repulsion.
2 Lone pair to bonding pair is intermediate repulsion.
3 Bonding pair to bonding pair is weakest repulsion.
•
Mnemonic for repulsion strengths
lp/lp > lp/bp > bp/bp
•
Lone pair to lone pair repulsion is why bond angles in water are less than 109.5o.
Electronic geometry is determined by the locations of regions of high electron density around the central
atom(s). Electron pairs are not used in the molecular geometry determination just the positions of
the atoms in the molecule are used.
Molecular geometry determined by the arrangement of atoms around the central atom(s).

Naming Saturated Hydrocarbons

Choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms which gives the
basic name or stem.
Number each carbon atom in the basic chain, starting at the end that
gives the lowest number to the first group attached to the main chain
(substituent).
For each substituent on the chain, we indicate the position in the chain
(by an Arabic numeric prefix) and the kind of substituent (by its name).
 The position of a substituent on the chain is indicated by the lowest
number possible. The number precedes the name of the substituent.
When there are two or more substituents of a given kind, use prefixes to
indicate the number of substituents.
 di = 2, tri = 3, tetra = 4, penta = 5, hexa = 6, hepta = 7, octa = 8, and
so on.
The combined substituent numbers and names serve as a prefix for the
basic hydrocarbon name.
Separate numbers from numbers by commas and numbers from words
by hyphens.
 Words are "run together".
Alcohols and Phenols
•
•
•
The stem for the parent hydrocarbon plus an -ol suffix is the systematic name for an alcohol.
A numeric prefix indicates the position of the -OH group in alcohols with three or more C atoms.
Common names are the name of the appropriate alkyl group plus alcohol.
•
Common names are used for most ethers.
Ethers
Aldehydes and Ketones
•
•
•
•
Common names for aldehydes are derived from the name of the acid with the same number of C
atoms.
IUPAC names are derived from the parent hydrocarbon name by replacing -e with -al.
The IUPAC name for a ketone is the characteristic stem for the parent hydrocarbon plus the suffix
-one.
A numeric prefix indicates the position of the carbonyl group in a chain or on a ring.
Amines
•
•
Amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one or more H atoms have been replaced by
organic groups (aliphatic or aromatic or a mixture of both).
There are three classes of amines.
Carboxylic Acids
•
•
IUPAC names for a carboxylic acid are derived from the name of the parent hydrocarbon.
– The final -e is dropped from the name of the parent hydrocarbon
– The suffix -oic is added followed by the word acid.
Many organic acids are called by their common (trivial) names which are derived from Greek or
Latin.
When compounds contain more than one functional group, the order of precedence determines
which groups are named with prefix or suffix forms. The highest precedence group takes the
suffix, with all others taking the prefix form. However, double and triple bonds only take suffix
form (-en and -yn) and are used with other suffixes.

Rules for Naming Complex Species
Cations (+ ions) are named before anions (- ions).
Coordinated ligands are named in alphabetical order.
–
Prefixes that specify the number of each kind of ligand (di = 2, tri = 3, tetra = 4, penta =
5, hexa = 6, etc.) are not used in alphabetizing
–
Prefixes that are part of the name of the ligand, such as in diethylamine, are used to
alphabetize the ligands.
For complicated ligands, especially those that have a prefix such as di or tri as part of the
ligand name, these prefixes are used to specify the number of those ligands that are
attached to the central atom.
–
bis = 2 tris = 3 tetrakis = 4 pentakis = 5 hexakis = 6
The names of most anionic ligands end in the suffix -o.
–
Examples of ligands ending in –o are:
•
Cl- chloro
S2- sulfido
O2oxo
The names of most neutral ligands are unchanged when used in naming the complex.
–
There are several important exceptions to this rule including:
•
NH3 ammine
H2O aqua
The oxidation number of a metal that exhibits variable oxidation states is designated by a
Roman numeral in parentheses following the name of the complex ion or molecule.
If a complex is an anion, the suffix "ate" ends the name.
 No suffix is used in the case of a neutral or cationic complex.
 Usually, the English stem is used for a metal, but if this would make the name awkward,
the Latin stem is substituted. ferrate instead of ironate plumbate instead of leadate

At low temperatures and high pressures real gases do not behave
ideally.
The reasons for the deviations from ideality are:
1. The molecules are very close to one another, thus their
volume is important.
2. The molecular interactions also become important.

The Kinetic-Molecular Theory
The basic assumptions of kinetic-molecular theory are:
Postulate 1
– Gases consist of discrete molecules that are relatively far apart.
– Gases have few intermolecular attractions.
– The volume of individual molecules is very small compared to the gas’s
volume.
Proof - Gases are easily compressible.
Postulate 2
– Gas molecules are in constant, random, straight line motion with varying
velocities.
Proof - Brownian motion displays molecular motion.
Postulate 3
– Gas molecules have elastic collisions with themselves and the container.
– Total energy is conserved during a collision.
Proof - A sealed, confined gas exhibits no pressure drop over time.
Postulate 4
– The kinetic energy of the molecules is proportional to the absolute
temperature.
– The average kinetic energies of molecules of different gases are equal at a
given temperature.
Proof - Brownian motion increases as temperature increases.
