FORMULAS Radium – violet red

Copper – blue green
Relative Abundance of Isotopes Iron – yellow
M1(x) + M2(1-x) = M(E) Boron – dark green
Indium – dark blue

R=
h = plank’ s constant, J˙s t 1/2
c = speed of light (3 x 108 m/s)
Eo = Working Function, J R - Activity
λo = Maximum Wavelength, m N – number of reactive nuclei
t1/2 – half – life
* Conversion: 1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 J
*N must be multiplied by 6.02 x 1023 /mol
Kinetic Energy of electron *Conversion: 3.16 x 107 s = 1 yr.

Af = final amount
Ao = initial amount
k = constant

Formal Charge of an Atom

FC = VE – UB – ½(B) or FC = VE – (B + d)

FC = formal charge
VE = valence electrons
UB = unbonded electrons
B = bonded electrons or number of bonds
d = number of dots
Bond Angles

Excess and Limiting Reactant and Percent

Yield
A) Convert mass of reactants to mols
B) Compare mols of reactants with each
other
If B>A, limiting and B<A, excess
* Use limiting to solve for amount of
products
*Excess left is A – B
%yield = Experimental/computed x 100%
Solve for Kp using Kc

Kp = Kc( RT )∆ n

* n – refers to the number of moles of the

products and reactants (meaning
subscript)
