Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Composition
- An atom's nucleus contains protons and neutrons
- Electrons orbit the nucleus
- Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral.
Element Classification
- Potassium (K) is a metal.
- Chlorine (Cl) is a nonmetal.
- Aluminum (Al) and sulfur (S) form an ionic compound.
- The formula for the ionic compound formed by aluminum and sulfur is Al₂S₃
Chemical Formulas and Names
- SrO is strontium oxide
- PCl₃ is phosphorous trichloride
- The formula for ammonium carbonate is (NH₄)₂CO₃
Subatomic Particles
- The smallest and lightest subatomic particle is the electron
Isotopes
- Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Average Atomic Mass
- The average atomic mass is calculated from the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes.
- Weighted masses of isotopes and their percentage abundances are used in this calculation.
Chemical Properties
- Elements with similar chemical properties are often found in the same column (group) of the periodic table.
Ionic or Molecular Compounds
- Compounds involving metal and nonmetal elements are most often ionic.
- Compounds involving nonmetal elements are most often molecular.
Electromagnetic Radiation
- The wavelength of light is inversely proportional to its frequency.
Quantum Numbers
- Quantum numbers describe the properties of an electron in an atom.
- An example of quantum numbers used are: (n, l, ml)
Electron Configuration
- Electron configuration describes how electrons are distributed in an atom's orbitals.
- Electron configurations describe orbitals with specific sublevels of increasing energy in the atom.
Atomic Radius and Ionization energies
- Atomic radius and ionization energies are atomic properties.
- Atomic radius generally increases down a group, and decreases across a period.
- First ionization energy generally increases across a period, and decreases down a group.
- Second ionization energy is usually greater than the first.
