Study Notes
System and Object Definition
- An object becomes a system when microscopic details like molecules or atoms are not relevant.
- The transition between a system and an object involves a change in perspective, rather than physical changes.
Components of Atoms
- An atom consists of three basic components: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Each element is defined by a unique number of protons in its nucleus, distinguishing them from one another.
Atomic Structure
- The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons; electrons orbit around it.
- The equation to find neutrons is atomic mass minus atomic number.
Neutrons and Their Properties
- Neutrons are the largest subatomic particles with no charge and comprise three quarks, categorizing them as baryons.
Electron Transitions
- Energy emitted during electronic transitions can be calculated; for instance, a transition from n_i=5 to n_f=2 can emit energy of -4.58*10^-19 J.
- Exciting an electron to a higher energy state requires the absorption of energy.
Energy Levels
- The energy corresponding to the first energy level in hydrogen is -2.18*10^-18 J.
- Energy levels refer to the specific energy of the orbit occupied by an electron in an atom.
Quarks and Hadrons
- Quarks are designated by color charge and fall under flavors: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top.
- Hadrons are categorized primarily into baryons and mesons.
Atomic Mass and Composition
- Atomic mass is calculated by summing the number of protons and neutrons; hydrogen’s atomic mass is approximately 1.
- An oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons, leading to an atomic mass of 16.
Protons and Their Charge
- Protons are represented by a charge of +1 or 1e, made of two up quarks and one down quark.
- Electrons carry a negative charge and are not counted in atomic mass due to their minimal size compared to protons and neutrons.
Isotopes and Atomic Number
- The atomic number indicates the number of protons in an atom; the atomic number for iodine (I) is 53.
- Isotope I-129 of iodine is viable based on neutron and proton ratio consistency.
Core Names and Definitions
- The core of an atom is called the nucleus, differentiating it from the surrounding electron cloud and orbitals.
- Substructure in physics pertains to the components that constitute a whole object, forming the basis of matter.
