    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table

    • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge.
    • Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus.
    • Atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons in an atom.
    • Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
    • Relative isotopic mass compares the mass of an isotope to one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
    • Relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an atom compared to one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
    • Relative molecular mass is the average mass of a molecule compared to one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

    Mass Spectrometer

    • Mass spectrometers determine the isotopes present in a sample.
    • They identify elements by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ions.
    • Relative atomic mass is calculated as a weighted average of isotopic masses.
    • The spectrometer's output shows a spectrum with peaks corresponding to different isotopes.
    • Each peak represents an isotope, its abundance and its m/z value.

    Ionization Energies

    • The first ionization energy is the minimum energy needed to remove one electron from each atom in a mole of gaseous atoms.
    • Successive ionization energies are progressively higher because removing electrons from a positively charged ion requires more energy.
    • Ionization energy trends: It tends to increase across a period due to increasing nuclear charge. It tends to decrease down a group due to increased electron shielding and larger atomic radius. There are occasional irregularities.
    • Factors affecting ionization energy: Effective nuclear charge, atomic radius and shielding.
    • The large jump between successive ionization energies indicates the removal of an electron from a different energy level. This can be used for identifying the electronic structure of an element.
