Study Notes

Atomic Structure

  • An atom is electrically neutral because the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

Nuclear Atomic Model

  • Thomson's Model:
    • Proposed a model of the atom as a sphere of positive matter with electrons positioned by electrostatic forces.
  • Rutherford's Model:
    • Atoms have a dense central core (nucleus) containing positive charge.
    • Protons have opposite (+) charge of electrons (-).

Quantum Mechanics Model

  • Dual Nature of Electron:
    • De Broglie's Postulate: Electron energy is quantized, and electrons exhibit wave-like behavior.
    • Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: It is impossible to know both the position and momentum of an electron with unlimited accuracy.
  • Quantum Numbers:
    • Principal Quantum Number (n): Describes the energy level of an electron.
    • Azimuthal Quantum Number (l): Describes the shape of the orbital.
    • Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): Describes the orientation of the orbital in space.
    • Spin Quantum Number (ms): Describes the spin of an electron.

Atomic Orbitals

  • Each set of n, l, and ml describes an orbital.
  • Orbitals with the same value of n are in the same principal energy level.
  • Orbitals with the same value of n and l are in the same subshell.
  • Shapes of Atomic Orbitals:
    • s Orbitals: Spherical
    • p Orbitals: Like two balloons tied at the knots
    • d Orbitals: Like four balloons tied at the knots
    • f Orbitals: Like eight balloons tied at the knots

Electronic Configurations and Orbital Diagrams

  • Electron Configuration: Describes how electrons are distributed among atomic orbitals.
  • Orbital Diagrams:
    • Represent orbitals as squares and electrons as arrows.
    • Direction of the arrow represents the spin of the electron.
  • Rules for Assigning Electron Configuration and Orbital Diagrams:
    • Aufbau Principle: Electrons occupy orbitals in order of increasing energy.
    • Pauli's Exclusion Principle: No two electrons in an atom may have the same set of four quantum numbers.
    • Hund's Rule: Not mentioned explicitly in the text.

Periodic Classification of Elements

  • Not explicitly discussed in the provided text.

Periodic Variations in Physical Properties

  • Not explicitly discussed in the text.
