    Study Notes

    Atomic Mass

    • Atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.
    • Measured in atomic mass units (amu).
    • 1 amu ≈ 1.66 × 10^-24 grams
    • Important for understanding chemical reactions and element properties.

    Calculating Atomic Mass

    • Atomic mass is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by the mass of a proton or neutron.
    • Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass, approximately 1 amu.
    • Electrons have a very small mass and contribute minimally to the total atomic mass.

    Bohr Model

    • Developed by Niels Bohr in 1913.
    • Depicts atoms as a positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting in fixed energy levels (shells).
    • Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons.
    • Helps explain the behavior and energy transitions of electrons.

    Bohr Diagram Example: Oxygen

    • Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons.
    • Nucleus contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
    • First shell: 2 electrons
    • Second shell: 6 electrons
    • Demonstrates electron distribution in shells.

    Lewis Diagrams

    • Developed by Gilbert N. Lewis.
    • Focus on valence electrons (outermost shell electrons).
    • Use dots to represent valence electrons around the element symbol.
    • Helps visualize electron sharing in chemical bonds.

    Creating Lewis Diagrams

    • Determine the number of valence electrons for the specific element.
    • Write the element symbol.
    • Place dots around the symbol, representing valence electrons.
    • Arrange dots on four sides (single dots first, then pairs).

    Lewis Diagrams and Chemical Bonding

    • Show how atoms share electrons to form molecules.
    • Dots become lines in covalent bonds.
    • Example: Water (H₂O)
    • Oxygen shares one electron with each hydrogen atom resulting in the structure H-O-H.

    Comparing Bohr and Lewis Diagrams

    • Bohr Diagrams: Show all electrons in their respective shells, including the nucleus, and provide an overall structure of the atom.
    • Lewis Diagrams: Focus on valence electrons and are useful for demonstrating chemical bonding.
    • Both models contribute to understanding atomic structure and behavior.
