8.9 The electron configuration of an element follows the periodic table. The electrons are filled in the order of
the periodic table and the energy levels are determined by the row the element is in and the subshell is
given by the column, the first two columns are the s-block, the last six columns are thep-block, the d-block
has ten columns, and thef-block has 14 columns.

8.15 Based on the definition of valence, there are no examples where more than 8 electrons would occupy the
valence shell. For representative elements the valence shell is defined as the occupied shell with the highest
value of n. In the ground state atom, onlysandpelectrons fit this definition. The transition elements have
outer electron configurations: (n-1)dnnsmso the valence shell is the nssubshell.

Review Questions
8.1 Light is a form of energy that results from small oscillations in the electrical and magnetic properties of
particles.
8.2 In general, frequency describes the number of times an event occurs in a finite time period. The frequency
of light is the number of times a wave crest passes a specific point in space in a given time interval. The
symbol for frequency is the Greek letter nu, , and has the units of inverse seconds, s1.
8.3 Wavelength is the distance between consecutive maxima of a wave. The symbol is the Greek letterlambda, .
8.4 See Figure 8.2.
8.5 The amplitude affects the brightness of light. The color of light is affected by the wavelength or frequency.
The energy of the light is affected by the frequency or wavelength.
8.6 gamma rays < X rays < ultraviolet < visible < infrared < microwaves < TV waves
8.7 By the visible spectrum, we mean that narrow portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to which our eyes
are sensitive. These are the wavelengths from about 400 nm to 750 nm.
8.8 violet < blue < green < yellow < orange < red
8.9 = c, where c is a constant equal to the speed of light, is the wavelength and is the frequency.
8.10 E = h, where E is the energy, h is Plancks constant and is the frequency.
8.11 A photon is one unit of electromagnetic radiation whose energy is the product of h and .
8.12 Since = c/, we can substitute into equation 8.2 to get E = hc/.

8.14 The quantum is the lowest possible packet of energy, that of a single photon.
8.15 An atomic spectrum consists of a series of discrete (selected, definite and reproducible) frequencies (and
therefore of discrete energies) that are emitted by atoms that have been excited. The particular values for
the emission frequencies are characteristic of the element at hand. In contrast, a continuous spectrum, such
as that emitted by the sun or another hot, glowing object, contains all frequencies and, therefore, photons of
all energies.
8.16 An electron in an atom can have only certain specific values for energy. Aside from these discrete
energies, other energies are not allowed. When an excited atom loses energy, not just any arbitrary amount
can be lost, only specific amounts of energy can be lost. In other words, the energy of an electron is
quantized.
8.17 Bohr proposed a model similar in design to a solar system. The nucleus is at the center and the electrons
orbit the nucleus in specific orbits that are a constant fixed distance from the nucleus.
8.18 When an electron falls from an orbit of higher energy (larger radius) to an orbit of lower energy (smallerradius), the energy that is released appears as a photon with the appropriate frequency. The energy of the
photon is the same as the difference in energy between the two orbits.
8.19 The lowest energy state of an atom is termed the ground state.
8.20 Bohr's model was a success because it accounted for the spectrum of the hydrogen atom, but it failed to
account for spectra of more complex atoms.
8.21 Very small particles have properties that are reminiscent of both a particle and a wave. Massive particles
also have this but the wavelike properties are too small to be observed.
8.22 Diffraction is a phenomenon caused by the constructive or the destructive interference of two or more
waves. The fact that electrons and other subatomic particles exhibit diffraction supports the theory thatmatter is correctly considered to have wave nature.
8.23 To determine whether a beam was behaving as a wave or as a stream of particles, a diffraction experiment
would have to be done.
8.24 Wave/particle duality is that light and matter have both wave-like properties and particle-like properties.
8.25 In a traveling wave, the positions of the peaks and nodes change with time. In a standing wave, the peaks
and nodes remain in the same positions.
8.26 The collapsing atom paradox comes from classical mechanics and asks, "Why doesn't the electron fall into
the nucleus?"
8.27 Quantum mechanics resolves the collapsing atom paradox by allowing only certain energy levels for the
electron. The electron located in the nucleus does not give one of the allowed energies.
8.28 Wave mechanics and quantum mechanics.
8.29 This is the orbital of the electron.
8.30 First, we are interested in the energies of orbitals, because it is the energies of the various orbitals that
determine which orbitals are occupied by the electrons of the atom. Secondly, we are interested in the

shapes and orientations of the various orbitals, because this is important in determining how atoms form
bonds in chemical compounds
8.31 n= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

8.35 Yes, if the value for for this electron is 3 or larger.
8.36 The only impossible set of legitimate quantum numbers would be an electron having the exact same values
for the four quantum numbers. Recall the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
8.37 The electron behaves like a magnet, because the revolving charge (spin) of the electron creates a magnetic
field. Recall that the electron does not actually revolve but behaves in a fashion reminiscent of an electro-
magnet.
8.38 Atoms with unpaired electrons are termed paramagnetic.
8.39 No two electrons in the same atom can have exactly the same set of values for all of the four quantum
numbers. This limits the allowed number of electrons per orbital to two, since with other quantum numbers
being necessarily the same, two electrons in the same orbital must at least have different values of ms.
8.40 ms= +1/2 or1/2

8.50 As explained by the Heisenberg Uncertainly Principle, the position and momentum of an electron cannot be
known with 100% certainty, therefore it is impossible to know where an electron is, but we can determine
the probability of finding an electron in a given space. An electron is visualized as being within a cloud
around the nucleus. This electron cloud defines a volume in space where the probability of finding an
electron is high.
8.51 (a) See Figures 8.22a and 8.23 (b) See Figures 8.24a, 8.25 and 8.26.
8.52 As nbecomes larger, the orbital becomes larger.
8.53 The threeporbitals of a givenpsubshell are oriented at right angles (90) to one another.
8.54 A nodal plane is a plane in which there is zero probability of finding an electron.
8.55 A radial node is a spherical shaped node on which the electron density is zero.
8.56 Aporbital has 1 nodal plane; a dorbital has 2 nodal planes.
8.57 See Figure 8.27.
8.58 The effective nuclear charge is the net nuclear charge that an electron actually experiences. It is different
from the formal nuclear charge because of the varying imperfect ways in which one electron is shielded
from the nuclear charge by the other electrons that are present. The effective nuclear charge remains nearly
constant from top to bottom in any one group of the periodic table, and it increases from left to right in any
one row of the periodic table.
8.59 The larger atoms are found in the lower left corner of the periodic table; the smaller atoms are found in the
upper right corner of the periodic table.
8.60 The size changes within a transition series are more gradual because, whereas the "outer" electrons are in
anssubshell, the electrons that are added from one element to another enter an inner ( n1)dsubshell.
8.61 Ionization energy is the energy that is needed in order to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion.
These are positive values because the force of attraction between an electron and the nucleus of either anatom or a positive ion (cation) must be overcome in order to remove the electron.
8.62 (a) O(g)O+(g) + e
(b) O2+(g)O3+(g) + e
8.63 Ionization energy increases from left to right in a row of the periodic table because the effective nuclear
charge increases from left to right. The latter trend occurs because of the consequences of the increasingly
imperfect shielding of electrons by other electrons within the same level. The ionization energy decreases
down a periodic table group because the electrons reside farther from the nucleus with each successive
quantum level that is occupied. The farther the electrons are from the nucleus, the less tightly they are held
by the nucleus.
8.64 Removing a second electron involves pulling it away from a greater positive charge because of the positivecharge created by the removal of the first electron. Hence, more energy must be spent to ionize the second
electron than the first.
8.65 The fifth electron must be removed from a different, lower nshell. Also, an electron must be removed
from an ion having a 4+ rather than only a 3+ charge.
8.66 The last valence electron of aluminum begins the occupation of the 3pset of orbitals. This electron is
therefore well shielded from the nuclear charge by the 3selectrons.

8.67 The last valence electron of sulfur is placed in an orbital with another electron, and the two electrons are
required to be spin-paired by the Pauli exclusion principle. This destabilizes the last electron, making it
easier to ionize than is the case for the last electron of phosphorus.
8.68 Electron affinity is the enthalpy change associated with the addition of an electron to a gaseous atom:
X(g) + eX(g)
8.69 S(g) + eS(g), first electron affinity
S(g) + eS2(g), second electron affinity
The first electron affinity is exothermic, while the second electron affinity should be endothermic because
work must be done to force the electron into the negative Sion.
8.70 The value for fluorine is low because of the especially small size of the atom, which causes addition of an
electron to be relatively unfavorable. The comparison between chlorine and bromine follows the normal
trend on descent of a group, the electron affinity decreasing with ionization energy.
8.71 The second electron affinity is always unfavorable (endothermic) because it requires that a second electron
be forced onto an ion that is already negative.
8.72 The electron affinity becomes more negative (exothermic) as effective nuclear charge increases. Fluorine
therefore has the more exothermic electron affinity because it has the larger effective nuclear charge.

the energy required to ionize the electron.

Review Questions
9.1 A stable compound forms from a collection of atoms when bonding results in a net lowering of the energy.
The process of bonding the atoms together must release energy to make the bonded compound more stable
than the original collection.
9.2 The ionic bond is the attraction between positive and negative ions in an ionic compound. It is largely an
electrostatic attraction, and it gives rise to the lattice energy of the ionic compound. The lattice energy is
the net gain in stability when the gaseous ions are brought together to form the crystalline ionic compound.
9.3 Ionic bonds tend to form upon combining an element having a high EA with an element having a low IE.
9.4 The lattice energy is the energy necessary to separate a mole of an ionic solid into its constituent ions in the
gas phase. It is also the energy that is released on forming the ionic solid from the gaseous ions. Asdiscussed in the answer to review questions 9.1 and 9.2, it is the lattice energy that is primarily responsible
for the stability of ionic compounds.
9.5 Magnesium ([Ne]3s2) can achieve the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (Ne) by losing only
two electrons: Mg2+ 1s22s22p6. Magnesium will not form the Mg3+ion because an extremely high amount
of energy would be required to break into the 2s22p6core to remove an electron.
9.6 When chlorine gains one electron to form Cl, it has filled an orbital and achieved a noble gas
configuration. To make the Cl2ion, an electron would have to be placed in the next higher shell. The

amount of energy required for this to occur is extremely high and makes the creation of a Cl 2ion
energetically unfavorable.
9.7 Many of the transition metals in Period 4 have an 4s2outer-shell electron configuration. Since these
characteristically are the first electrons to be lost when a transition metal atom is ionized, it is common that
a 2+ ion should be formed.
9.8 The largest difference in ionization energies would be between the third and the fourth successive
ionization energies because of the extremely high amount of energy that would be required to break into the
2s22p6core to remove an electron.

9.11 (a) correct
(b) incorrect
(c) correct
(d) incorrect
9.12 Ionic bonding does not occur between two nonmetal elements because more energy must be provided in the
form of IE and EA than can be recovered from the lattice energy.
9.13 As two hydrogen atoms approach each other in forming the H2molecule, the electron density of the two
atoms shifts to the region between the two nuclei.
9.14 The energy drops to some optimum or minimum value when the nuclei have become separated by the
distance called the bond distance. The electron spins become paired.
9.15 Bond formation is always exothermic.
9.16 The bond distance in a covalent bond is determined by a balance (compromise) between the separate
attractions of the nuclei for the electron density that is found between them, and the repulsions between thelike-charged nuclei and those between the like-charged electrons. These attractions and repulsions oppose
one another, and a bond distance is achieved that maximizes the attraction while minimizing the repulsions.
9.17 The octet rule is the expectation that atoms tend to lose or gain electrons until they achieve a noble gas-type
electron configuration, namely eight electrons in the valence, or outer-most, shell. It is the stability of the
closed-shell electron configuration of a noble gas that accounts for this.
9.18 (a) one (b) four (c) two (d) three (e) one
9.19 The valence shell of a period 2 element can hold only eight electrons since only two types of subshells,s
andp, are available in this period. The valence shell of elements in row three can hold as many as eighteen
electrons. This results because there are three types of subshells,s,pand d, that can hold electrons. Thes
subshells hold 2 electrons,psubshells hold 6 electrons and dsubshells hold 10 electrons. The total is,therefore, 18 electrons.
9.20 (a) single bond: a covalent bond formed by the sharing of one pair of electrons.
(b) double bond: a covalent bond formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons.

9.32 A polar covalent bond is one in which the electrons of the bond are not shared equally by the atoms of the
bond, and this causes one end of the linkage to carry a partial negative charge while the other end carries a
corresponding partial positive charge. In other words, there is a dipole in a polar bond.
9.33 = q r
A dipole moment is the product of the amount of charge on one end of a polar bond (which behaves as a
dipole) and the distance between the two partial charges that compose the dipole. It is also normally taken
to be the product of the charge in the dipole of a polar bond and the internuclear distance in the polar bond.

9.34 Electronegativity is the attraction that an atom has for the electrons in chemical bonds to that atom. Pauling
based his scale of electronegativity on the greater bond energy polar bonds have than would be expected if
the opposite ends of the bonds were electrically neutral.
9.35 Fluorine has the largest electronegativity, whereas oxygen has the second largest electronegativity.
9.36 (b) and (d) are the only ones with an electronegativity difference greater than 1.7.
9.37 Elements having low electronegativities are metals. Elements with low ionization potentials and low
electron affinities tend to have low electronegativities.
9.38 This has to do with the ease of oxidation. Aluminum is easier to oxidize than iron.

9.46 N is in the second period, it can only have an octet of electrons, so it cannot form five bonds. Whereas, As
is in the fourth row, it can have an expanded octet and form five bonds; therefore, it can form AsCl 3 and
AsCl5.
9.47 Bond length is the distance between the nuclei of two atoms that are linked by a covalent bond.
Bond energy is the energy that is needed to break a chemical bond; conversely, the energy that is released
when a chemical bond is formed.
9.48 The number of electron pairs that comprise a covalent linkage (bond) between two atoms is called the bond
order. As bond order increases, so does the strength of the bond. Therefore, as bond order increases, bond
energy increases and bond length decreases, in keeping with increased bond strength.
9.49 The HCl bond energy is defined to be the energy required to break the bond to give atoms of H and Cl,
not the ions H+and Cl. In other words, when the bond is broken between the H and the Cl atoms, one of
the two electrons of the bond must go to each of the atoms. When ions are obtained, however, both
electrons of the bond are given to the chlorine atom and the lattice energy would be the more appropriate
term to use.
9.50 The formal charge on an atom is its apparent charge in a particular Lewis diagram. For any particular atom
in a Lewis diagram, the formal charge is calculated by subtracting the number of bonds to the atom, and the
number of unshared electrons on the atom, from the number of valence electrons that the unbonded atom
normally has in the ground state.
9.51 It is generally held that the Lewis structure having the smallest formal charges is most favored. This isbased on the notion that either an accumulation of too much charge, or too much charge separation, is
destabilizing.
9.52 The formal charges on the atoms in HCl are 0. The actual charges are H: +0.17eand Cl:0.17e. The
formal charges arise from the bookkeeping in Lewis structures, and are not the same as actual charges.
9.53 A coordinate covalent bond is one in which both electrons of the bond are contributed by (or donated by)
only one of the atoms that are linked by the bond.

9.54 Once formed, a coordinate covalent bond is no different than any other covalent bond.

9.56 Lewis structures are often inadequate, without the concept of resonance, to describe the distribution of
electrons in certain molecules and ions. Sometimes more than one Lewis structure is needed to describe a
molecule. These structures differ only in the placement of electrons. Resonance more fully describes the
distribution of electrons in a molecule.
9.57 A resonance hybrid is the true structure of a molecule or polyatomic ion, whereas the various resonance
structures that are used to depict the hybrid do not individually have any reality. The hybrid is a mix, or
average, of the various resonance structures that compose it.
9.58
The resonance structures of benzene are more stable than the ring containing three carbon-carbon double
bonds because six bonds with a bond order of 1.5 is more stable than three single bond and three double
bonds together.

9.82 (a) We predict the formula H2Se because selenium, being in Group VIA, needs only two additional
electrons (one each from two hydrogen atoms) in order to complete its octet.
(b) Arsenic, being in Group VA, needs three electrons from hydrogen atoms in order to complete its
octet, and we predict the formula H3As.
(c) Silicon is in Group IVB, and it needs four electrons (and hence four hydrogen atoms) to complete
its octet: SiH4.
9.83 (a) Each chlorine atom needs one further electron in order to achieve an octet, and the phosphorus
atom requires three electrons from an appropriate number of chlorine atoms. We conclude that a
phosphorus atom is bonded to three chlorine atoms and that each chlorine atom is bonded only
once to the phosphorus atom: PCl3.
(b) Since carbon needs four additional electrons, the formula must be CF4. In this arrangement, each
fluorine atom acquires the one additional electron that is needed to reach its octet.
(c) Each halogen atom needs only one additional electron from the other: ICl.

electronegativities between the linked atoms.

9.108 The Lewis structure for NO3is given on page 395, and that for NO2
is given below.
Resonance causes the average number of bonds in each NO linkage of NO3to be 1.33. Resonance
causes the average number of electron pair bonds in each linkage of NO2to be 1.5. We conclude that the
NO bond in NO2should be shorter than that in NO3
.
9.109 The Lewis structures of the four must be compared. Carbon monoxide has a triple bond, :OC:; the formate
ion (see text) has an average CO bond order of 1.5; CO2has double bonds; and CO32has a bond order of

(b) The formal charge on the oxygen atom bonded to the hydrogen is +1 which is unlikely since it is
the most electronegative element in the molecule.
(c) Carbon never makes more than four bonds.
9.118 The two structures are not resonance structures because the atoms do not have the same connectivity. The
first structure with the phosphorous in the middle is a resonance structure of POCl 3. The other structure is
not because the atoms are in a different order, and have a different connectivity. The latter structure is not
reasonable one because it has five bonds to oxygen, so the first structure is the more likely structure for
POCl3.

atom is2 and the central nitrogen is +1 while the leftmost nitrogen has a formal charge of zero. The
bottom two resonance structures are both poor because each violates the octet rule. The left bottom

10.8 Polar molecules attract one another, and that influences the physical and chemical properties of substances.
10.9 A bond's dipole moment is depicted with an arrow having a + sign on one end, where the "barb" of the
arrow is taken to represent the location of the opposing negative charge of the dipole:
10.10 A molecule will be polar if the bonds are polar and these polar bonds are arranged in such a geometry thatthey do not cancel one another.
10.11 A molecule having polar bonds will be nonpolar only if the bond dipoles are arranged so as to cancel one
another's effect.
10.12

The individual bond dipoles do not cancel one another.
10.13 Both VB and MO theory have wave mechanics as their theoretical basis. In each theory, bonds areconsidered to arise from the overlap of orbitals. Valence bond theory uses the overlap of atomic orbitals
while molecular orbital theory uses the molecular orbitals to describe the bonding.
10.14 Lewis structures do not explain how atoms share electrons, nor do they explain why molecules adopt
particular shapes. Also, electrons are known to be delocalized, a fact which only MO theory addresses
from the beginning. Also, odd-electron systems can be more effectively discussed with MO theory.
10.15 VB theory views atoms coming together with their orbitals already containing specific electrons. The
bonds that are formed according to VB theory do so by the overlap of orbitals on neighboring atoms, and
this is accompanied by the pairing (sharing) of the electrons that are contained in the orbitals.
MO theory, on the other hand, considers a molecule to be a collection of positive nuclei surrounded by a set
of molecular orbitals, which, by definition, belong to the molecule as a whole, rather than to any specificatom. The electrons of the molecule are distributed among the molecular orbitals according to the same
rules that govern the filling of atomic orbitals.
10.16 Orbital overlap occurs when orbitals from different atoms share the same space. This overlap provides a
more stable region for the electrons, which find themselves under the stabilizing influence of the positive
charge of two nuclei.
10.17 The greater the orbital overlap the greater the bond energy.
10.18 This is the same as the HF molecule, shown in Figure 10.16. A halffilled valenceporbital of Br overlaps
with the halffilled 1sorbital of the hydrogen atom.
10.19 Hybrid orbitals provide better overlap than do atomic orbitals, and this results in stronger bonds.
10.20 These are shown in Figures 10.21.

bondThe electron density lies above and below an imaginary straight line joining the bonded nuclei.
10.34 The characteristic sidetoside overlap ofpatomic orbitals that characterizes bonds is destroyed upon
rotation about the bond axis. This is not the case for a bond, because regardless of rotation, a bond is
still effective at overlap.

hybrid orbitals are used for each carbon atom. Consequently, each bond angle is 120. See Figure 9.42.
10.38 If an electron is forced to occupy the higher energy MO, the molecule loses stability and the bond is made
weaker than if an electron, or a pair of electrons, occupies the lower energy (bonding) MO.

10.45 As bond order increases, bond energy (and strength) increases.
10.46 See Figure 10.40.
10.47 A delocalized MO is one that extends over more than two nuclei. Benzene is planar and each carbon atomhas a half-filled p orbital perpendicular to the plane of the molecule. These orbitals overlap to form a pi
bonding system throughout the molecule.
10.48 Delocalization increases stability.
10.49 Delocalization energy is a term used in MO theory to mean essentially the same thing as the term resonance
energy, which derives from VB theory. They both represent the additional stability associated with a
spreading out of electron density.
10.50 For conductors, metals, the valence band and the conduction band are the same so electrons can easily
move throughout the metal.
For insulators, non-metals, the valence band is filled and the gap between the valence band and conductionband is very large so electrons cannot move into the conduction band.
For semiconductors, the valence band is filled but the separation between the valence band and the
conduction band is small so electrons can easily be promoted into the conduction.
10.51 The band containing the valence electrons of the element is called the valence band.
The conduction band is the empty or partial filled band existing throughout the element.

10.52 Increasing the temperature of a semiconductor excites more electrons from the valence band into the
conduction band.
10.53 The 2sband is completely filled and much lower in energy than the conduction band. It is not possible to
excite electrons from the 2sband into the conduction band. Calciums valence band is formed from the 4s
electrons and therefore, it is that band that conducts electrons.
10.54 p- type transistors are those formed by doping silicon with elements containing three valence electrons, the
3A family of elements. The doping creates a site with a positive hole. It is the movement of the hole
throughout the semiconductor that results in current flow.
An n-type transistor if formed by doping silicon with elements containing five valence electrons, the 5A
family of elements. Doping results in an extra electron at the doping site. This electron can move into the
conduction band and cause current flow.
10.55 Any element in the 3A family such as boron or gallium would form a p-type germanium transistor.
Any element in the 5A family such as phosphorus or arsenic would form an n-type germanium transistor.
10.56 A solar cell operates on the principle that light falling on the cell disturbs the equilibrium of the p-n
junction causing a flow of current.
LEDs operate on the opposite principle of a solar cell. That is, a current flows through the p-n junction
causing an emission of light.
10.57 Of the nonmetals, only the noble gases exist in nature as isolated atoms.
10.58 Period 2 elements form strong bonds because the atom size is small which enables atoms to approach
each other very closely. Period 3 elements (and all other elements) are too large to accommodate the close
proximity required to form strong bonds. Because the period 3 and higher elements are large and form
only weak bonds, it is much more effective to form only bonds than to form a bond and a bond.
10.59 Because the halogens need only a single electron to complete their valence shell, these elements do not
require the formation of bonds. The formation of a single bond creates an extremely stable diatomicmolecule.
10.60 An allotrope is a different structure or physical form of an element. An isotope is a form of an atom that
differs from other atoms of the same element in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. An example is H
and D, two of the isotopes of hydrogen.
