Transition metals *lose 4s e-s first*
Remember, d orbital wants to come close to half-filled or fully filled orbital.
Using PV = nRT to find MW
Remember, if they're asking about the moles, n= PV/RT. However, if they ask about MW (grams/mole), the equation would be *flipped* to RT/PV.
The element that produces the *highest transition energy* is usually associated with a high energy *color* in the spectrum (closer to the *violet end*)
S-block cations size ↑, their electronic transition E ↑
*Galvanic cell* Discharge voltage (harness energy of redox rxns). Negative delta G. (+) emf Anode to Cathode. e- flow L to R (anode to cathode) thru wire.
Salt bridge for spectator anions to go from CATHODE TO ANODE. Spectator anion (chloride, nitrate): high solubility and lack base properties. Anode dissolves away. Cathode plates out. [Ions] in cathode solution are increased or [ions] of anode solution are decreased to *increase voltage*. Multiple cells in series are used to increase the voltage significantly.
Allotropes
Same elements in different forms (mostly solids with varying connectivity of their matrices)
Positron
Same mass as an electron, but POSITIVE (electron's opposite)

The *more electronegative* species pushes *electrons away* from themselves & give the other species *(less e-negative)* a *(+)* charge.
Vapor pressure (*T*-dependent) Independent of the (shape & volume) of the container.
The *rate* of vaporization is GREATER with greater SURFACE area. However, *Vapor pressure* is the *SAME* in both containers.

The absorbance intensity varies with [solute]. Light *absorbance* is proportional to *[solute]*. (Abs. x V) initial = (Abs. x V) final
Galvanizing
The addition of a more reactive metal to be preferentially oxidized over the metal preserved. A thin, reactive metal plate is added to the surface of the steel to prevent iron in steel from rusting away in boats. The metal used is usually *slightly* more oxidizable than the plated metal (i.e. Zn plated over Fe).
*Thomson Experiment* Applied electric field perpendicular to a beam of electrons.
The beam deflected based on field strength & magnitude of deflection. Found out there were two opposite charges in the field (different orientation)
*Why is n = 1 to n = 2 transition has the highest energy?
The bigger n, the smaller the Energy. As the value of n increases, the energy levels become CLOSER to each other.
Density of a material depends on the closeness of the particles of which it is composed.
The closer particles pack, the denser the material would be.
Atomic size
The distance from the nucleus center to the exterior of the valence electron cloud.
Ionization energy can predict the oxidation potentials of an element
The easier to ionize is the easier to oxidize. Easier loss leads to a larger (more +) oxidation potential. *Low IE correlates* with smaller (*more negative reduction potentials*) of the formed cation.
Which of the following would result in a 10-fold dilution? 1. 9 parts solvent with 1 part solution. 2. 10 parts solvent with 1 part solution. 3. 10% solvent with 90% solution. 4. 91% solvent with 9% solution.
The final solution should be 10% the original, so the first choice is right (9 parts solvent + 1 part solution = 10 parts new diluted solution). 1 part solution (original) is 10% of 10 parts of the new solution (new).
Boiling point and nucleophilicity are related to the gas mass
The gas *closest to the ideal gas* has to have *low a & b* values.
Surface tension
The liquid's resistance to increased surface area. *Intermolecular forces* or *MW* increase *viscosity.*
Cations are smaller than neutral atoms (i.e. Na+ ions in CNS)
The loss of electrons allows it to compact more tightly (diminished repulsion associated with the missing electrons).
Coordination number
The number of atoms attached to the central atom within a molecule (BF3 has a coordination number of 3). It does NOT count the lone pairs.
Combustion reactions (A special type of redox rxns.)
The oxidizing agent is a gas. The products are oxides. Examples are hydrocarbons & carbs into CO2 & water.
Reference standard of emf 2H+ → H2 gas
The reduction of 2 protons (H+) to form hydrogen gas (H2). emf of the reference = 0 volts.

*Alkaline earth* metals Strong reducing agents (readily lose electrons). They are NOT as reactive as alkali metals. React with high electron affinity elements or compounds. Reactivity increases increase as they go down.
Their cation form is * not as soluble in water* due to a small radius and +2 charge. Their react favorably with water (except Be) to form metal hydroxide and H2. *M(s) + 2H2O → M(OH)2(eq) + H2 (g)* All form oxides (MO) when oxidized by oxygen gas. *2M (s) + O2 (g) → 2MO (s)* They can be *oxidized by N, halogens, H*.
Alkali Group I metals Strong reducing agents (as neutral elements), they become +1 cations. *Reactivity increases ↓* (easier to lose e-).
Their cation forms are *very water soluble* with any anion & react favorably with water to *form metal hydroxide* and *H* gas. *2 M(s) + 2H2O(g) → 2 MOH (aq) + H2* Also, they can be oxidized into cations by: 1. Halogens 2. Nitrogen 3. Hydrogen
Group I & II metals
Their cations have very NEGATIVE reducing potentials.
Liquids have the highest heat capacity of all phases
They are compressible. Liquid density decreases at T increases (with the exception of water at 0-4C).
Molecules only evaporate from the surface of a liquid
They tend to *evaporate from the corners* (fewer neighboring molecules, fewer intermolecular forces).
Photoelectric effect
Think ionization energy of metals
Greatest sublimation point?
This means requiring MOST energy to reach the temperature to sublimate (*highest MW*)

Transition from n= 2 to n= 3 is higher than transition from n = 3 to any higher level.
Electrolysis
Unfavorable reaction run by adding voltage. It generates less favorable products. Used to obtain pure gas samples (O2, Cl2) & reduced metals naturally found in an oxidized state. Applied voltage must *overcome* the negative voltage of the unfavorable rxn (only *slightly* higher to avoid multiple products).
As a liquid temperature increases, its vapor pressure increases EXPONENTIALLY

ΔH sublimation = ΔH fusion + ΔH vapor
Water heat capacity = 1.0 cal/g K
Water trivia Its liquid form is DENSER than its solid form. *High heat capacity of water = absorbs most energy with least T change*
Water is *densest at 4C*. Ice can be compressed to liquid water. Extremely high BP compared to similar MW compounds due to *H-bonding*. Water has the *densest H-bonding of any compound*
Freezing point depression occurs because solutes disrupt crystalline structure formation.
Water moves from solution of low osmotic pressure to solution of HIGHER osmotic pressure.
Conductance
Water needs IONS to be able to conduct an electrical current. Pure water is NOT conductive. Conductance is DIRECTLY proportional to [salt] in soluton. Electrical conductance is observed ONLY with ionic solutes.
If given a reduction half-potential table and is asked for strongest reducing potentials?
What's requested is the species that gets oxidized, so the values in the table should be *reversed*. Then look for the most positive value.

Raoult's Law
Xi: mole fraction of the component in solution (not vapor state). P1: vapor pressure of a pure sample of the component under same conditions. Vapor pressure is calculated as (partial vapor pressure) since it is of only one component.
It takes MORE energy to make vapor than to melt a solid
You can reason that condensation releases more heat than freezing (i.e. vaporization requires more ΔH than melting).
