AUFBAU Principle
Electrons are added one at a time to the lowest Electron orbital available until all electrons have been accounted for
Paullie Exclusion principle
An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, must spin in opposite directions, called paired electrons
Hunds Rule(Bus rule)
Electrons occupy electron orbitals so that a max number of unpaired electrons result

Reaction Rates Depend on...
the concentration of the reactant molecules, the temp at which the reaction occurs, the extent to which the reactant molecules are in contact and the presence of a catalyst
Catalysts
Lower the activation energy required-changes the reaction route or mechanism
catalysts
a substance that provides an alternate route between the reactants and products-lower activation energy & faster!
catalysts
isn't a part of the reaction and is left chemically unchanged-can be reused multiple times
catalysts
don't affect equillibrium, but allow equillibrium to be reached quicker
catalysts
catalyze the reaction in either direction
catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change
Reaction Rate
The speed at which the product is formed or the reactant is used up
Normalized Rate
Found by taking the rate of a single product/reactant and dividing by the coeffiecient
Normalized Rate Example
2N2O+3O2=4NO2 Rate of reaction=-1/2*N2O/t=-1/3*O2/t=1/4NO2/t
at equilibrium
rate in the forward direction =rate in the reverse direction, net rate=0
Rate Law
k[A]m*[B]n A&B are reactants, m&n are reaction orders, m+n=overall reaction order***** reaction order has nothing to do with the coefficents
Integrate Rate Laws
the relationship between time and concentration
first order reactions
rate=k[R] Integrate rate: ln[R]t/[R]0=-kt [R]t=[R]0e-kt Half Life=.693/k half life remains constant
second order reactions
rate=k[R]2 Integrate Rate: 1/[R]t-1/[R]0=kt Half Life=1/k[R]0 half life doubles successively
Zero Order Reactions
Rate=k Integrate Rate equation [R]t=[R]0-kt Half Life=[R]0/2k Half life halves successively
First order reactions
rate = k[R] [R]t/[R]o = -kt half life = Kt1/2 = 0.693 each half life decreases by half (1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2)
Second Order Reaction
Rate = k[R]2 1/[R]t = kt + 1/[R]0 Each half life is double the previous (20s, 40s, 80s)
reaction mechanism
the way in which the reaction occurs ie) what happens first, second etc
reaction steps
called elementary steps-each individual step in a reaction
unimolecular
only one molecule involved in the step (first order)
bimolecular
two molecules involved in an elementary step-second order
termolecular
very rare! three molecules involved in an elementary step-third order
reaction intermediates
produced in one step, used up in the next and do not appear in the overall chemical equation for the reaction
rate-determining step
one step will occur slower than the other, the entire reaction occurs at this rate
steady state approximation
concentration of the intermediate remains constant as the reaction proceeds
activation energy (EA)
energy required to start the reaction up
increase in temp
typically increases the rate of reaction-usually an exponential increase
Arrhenius Equation
"k=Ae-(EA/RT) or lnk=lnA-EA/RT A=frequency factor R=8.314 T=Temp (Kelvin) EA=activation energy"
Transition State Theory
the transition state or activated complex is the arrangement of atoms at the point of highest potential energy between the reactants and the products
homogenous catalyst
is in the same state/phase as the reactant
hetergeneous catalyst
in a different state/phase from the reactants
enzymes
catalysts used in biological reactions
Arrhenius Definitions
An acid is a substance that increases the concentration of H3O+ when dissolved in H2O. A base increases the concentration of OH-
Arrhenius Neutralization
occurs when H3O+ reacts with OH- to get water
strong acids/bases
completely ionize, has large Ka/Kb
weak acids/bases
remain mostly intact. Ka/Kb is very small
Bronsted-Lowry Definitions
An acid is a substance that donates an H+ to the base which recieves it each reaction has two conjugate pairs always omit the spectator ions
Lewis Definitions
an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair, base donates it
acids/bases
all are lewis acids/bases, some are bronsted lowry, all arrhenius are bronsted lowry
Acid/Base
Acid transfers H+ to a base, base accepts strong acid easily releases the H+
Ion product for water
Kw=1*10-14 =Ka*Kb
pH
-log[H3O+] one mole of strong acid=one mole of H3O+
When is it ok to ignore the 'x' in the denominator?
if the initial concentration of the acid is greater than 100xKa
calculate the hydrogen ion concentration and the pH of a .10 M solution of acetic acid (CH3CO2H) Ka=1.8x10-5
1. Write equation: CH3CO2H+H2O=H3O++CH3CO2- 2. Write Ka equation: Ka=[products]/[reactants (not including H2O)]=1.8*10-5 3. Set up ICE table 4. Place E concentrations into Ka equation 5. Solve for x 6. x=[H3O+] 7. pH=-log[H3O+]
Conjugate Partners
*The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base *strong acids are stronger than H3O+ *strong bases are stronger than OH- *If Ka>1, then acid is strong. if <1 is weak
How to release H+ ion...
1. depends on chemical structure 2. the bond between the H+ atom and other molecules should be weak 3. the bond should be polarized (H will give up electrons) 4. the fragment after the H+ ion has broken away (conjugate base) should be stable 5. The negative charge should be lower
strong acids
"HI HClO4 HBr HCl HClO3 H2SO4 HNO3"
describe the ways in which the rate of a chemical reaction can be affected
"*concentrations of reactant molecules *temperature *catalyst *extent to which the reactant molecules are in contact"
how is rate of a chemical reaction defined? how is the rate at which a reactant is used up related to the rate at which a product is formed?
"*rate of reaction is the rate at which the concentration of reactant or product changes per time *the relative rates depend on the coefficents"
intermediate 
"A + B → C + D The reaction includes these elementary steps: A + B → X* X* → C + D The chemical species X* is an intermediate."
given a reaction and a rate of consumption (i.e. -0.37 mol/Ls) find corresponding rates of consumption/production.
multiply rate by moles of what you're trying to find. switch sign if on opposite side of equilibrium sign. 
Decay to 10% of original value given half-life.
"t1/2=(.693/K) solve for K use ln[R]t/[R]o = -kt allow it to be ln(percentage in fraction) i.e. 10/100"
relationship of Kp and Kc
Kp=Kc (RT)^dn
K >,<,= 1 and its relation to acids.
"K>1 means more products than reactants, so stronger acid is on reactant side. K<1 product side. K=1 both acids same strength."
oxidation numbers
"lone element: 0 Fluorine: -1 Oxygen: -2 (except w/ F) Cl, Br, I: -1 (except w/ F & O) Hydrogen: +1 nonmetals, -1 metals Group I: +1 Group II: +2 monatomic ion: charge on ion polyatomic ion: equals out to charge on ion"

Find Delta G given reaction and Eo
use formula G = -nFEo
Balance Redox Reaction
"split reaction in two (conjugate base/acid) add water and electrons based off oxidation put equation back together if basic add OH-"
