Study Notes
Atomic Radius
- Atomic radius is defined as one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical bonded atoms.
Trends in Atomic Radii
Group Trend
- Atomic size increases from top to bottom within a group in the periodic table.
- This increase is due to the addition of energy levels as you move down a group.
Period Trend
- Atomic size decreases from left to right across a period in the periodic table.
- This decrease results from increasing nuclear charge and an increased attraction to the nucleus.

- Every linear transformation T: ℝ^n → ℝ^m can be represented by a matrix A of m × n such that T(x) = A * x.
Chemical Kinetics
- Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, studies reaction rates and chemical processes.
- Investigations include the influence of experimental conditions on reaction speed, information about reaction mechanisms and transition states, and developing mathematical models for reaction characteristics.
Factors affecting reaction rates
Reactant concentration
- Reaction rate is often proportional to reactant concentration; increasing reactant concentration usually increases reaction rate.
Temperature
- Temperature greatly affects reaction rate; higher temperatures increase thermal energy in molecules, almost always increasing reaction rate.
Catalysts
- Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism.
- Catalysts are not consumed during the reaction and do not appear in the overall chemical equation.
Pressure
- Increased pressure in gaseous reactions increases collisions between reactants, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
Rate Law
- Rate law, or rate equation, is a mathematical expression relating reaction rate to the molar concentrations of reactants raised to certain powers.
- For the reaction: aA + bB → cC + dD; Rate ∝ [A]^x [B]^y; Rate = k[A]^x [B]^y
- [A] and [B] represent concentrations of reactants A and B
- x and y are reaction orders with respect to A and B
- k is the rate constant (specific reaction rate constant)
Order of a reaction
- The order of a reaction is the sum of the powers to which concentration terms are raised in the rate law (Order = x + y).
Molecularity
- Molecularity is the number of reacting species (atoms, ions, or molecules) that collide simultaneously in an elementary reaction to bring about a chemical reaction.
Difference between order and molecularity of a reaction
Feature | Order of Reaction | Molecularity of Reaction |
---|---|---|
Definition | Sum of powers of concentration terms in rate law | Number of reacting species in elementary reaction |
Nature | Experimental quantity | Theoretical quantity |
Values | Can be zero or fractional | Always a whole number |
Determination | Experimentally determined | Ascertained by looking at balanced elementary rxn |
Applicability | Applies to elementary and complex reactions | Applies only to elementary reactions |
Complex reactions | Given by slowest step | No meaning for complex reactions |
Experimental conds. | Can change with conditions (pressure, temp) | Rate does not depend on the experimental conditions used. |
Collision Theory of Chemical Reactions
- Collision theory explains reaction occurrence and rate differences based on molecular collisions.
Activation energy
- Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur and to break bonds.
Orientation factor
- Orientation factor is the fraction of collisions with correct orientation for reaction, also known as the steric factor.

Bayes' Theorem
Definition
- Bayes' Theorem describes the probability of an event based on prior knowledge of conditions related to the event.
- Expressed mathematically: $P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$
- $P(A|B)$: Conditional probability of A given B is true.
- $P(B|A)$: Conditional probability of B given A is true.
- $P(A)$ and $P(B)$: Probabilities of A and B occurring independently (marginal probability).
Deduction
- Can be deduced from conditional probability definitions:
- $P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$
- $P(B|A) = \frac{P(B \cap A)}{P(A)}$
- Since $P(A \cap B) = P(B \cap A)$, rewrite equations as: $P(A|B)P(B) = P(B|A)P(A)$
- Divide by $P(B)$ to get Bayes' Theorem: $P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$
Example
- Tech company with two chip factories:
- Factory A: 60% of chips, 4% defect rate
- Factory B: 40% of chips, 6% defect rate
- If a defective chip is found, find the probability it came from Factory A.
- Let:
- $A$: Chip produced in Factory A
- $B$: Chip is defective
- Known:
- $P(A) = 0.60$
- $P(B|A) = 0.04$
- $P(\neg A) = 0.40$
- $P(B|\neg A) = 0.06$
- Want to find $P(A|B)$.
- Calculate $P(B)$ using total probability law:
- $P(B) = P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|\neg A)P(\neg A)$
- $P(B) = (0.04 \times 0.60) + (0.06 \times 0.40) = 0.048$
- Apply Bayes' Theorem:
- $P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)} = \frac{0.04 \times 0.60}{0.048} = 0.5$
- Probability that a defective chip was produced in Factory A is 50%.
