Study Notes

Atomic Structure

  • Atom: The smallest unit of matter of an element.
  • Element: A substance composed of atoms with the same chemical characteristics.
  • Symbols: Chemical symbols for elements have Latin and German origins, such as:
    • Antimony (Sb), Copper (Cu), Gold (Au), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Potassium (K), Silver (Ag), Sodium (Na), Tin (Sn), Tungsten (W)

Periodic Table

  • Groups: Vertical columns in the periodic table.
  • Periods: Horizontal rows in the periodic table.
  • Congeners: Elements within the same group.
  • Alkali Metals: Group I (Na, Li, K, Rb, Cs).
  • Alkaline Earth Metals: Group II (Be, Ca, Mg, Sr, Ba).
  • Halogens: Group VII (F, Cl, Br, I).
  • Noble Gases: Group VIII (Kr, He, Ne, Xe, Rn).
  • Transition Metals: Located between Groups II and III.
  • Block Classifications:
    • s-block: Groups I and II.
    • p-block: Groups III - VIII.
    • d-block: Transition Metals.
    • f-block: Lanthanides and Actinides

Properties of Substances

  • Metal: Conducts electricity, has a metallic luster, malleable and ductile.
  • Non-metal: Doesn't conduct electricity, not malleable or ductile.
  • Metalloid: Appearance and properties similar to metals but behaves chemically like non-metals (e.g., Si, Ge, As, Te).

Fundamental Particle Properties

  • Electron:
    • Discovered by J.J. Thomson.
    • Carries one negative charge (denoted by e-).
    • Charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C.
    • Mass = 9.1 x 10^-28 g.
  • Proton:
    • Discovered by James Chadwick.
    • Carries one positive charge (denoted by p).
    • 1836 times heavier than an electron.
    • Located in the nucleus.
  • Neutron:
    • Discovered by James Chadwick.
    • Has no charge.
    • Mass nearly equal to a proton.
    • Located in the nucleus.

Nucleus

  • Proposed by Ernest Rutherford.
  • Positively charged.
  • Contains protons and neutrons.

Atomic Number (Z)

  • Number of protons in the nucleus.
  • Determines the element's identity.
  • Shown above the chemical symbol (e.g., Au, Z = 79).
  • Number of protons equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Mass Number (A)

  • Total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
  • Calculated by adding atomic number (Z) and number of neutrons (N): A = Z + N.
  • Written as a superscript to the left of the chemical symbol (e.g., 35Cl).

Mass of an Atom and Isotopes

  • Atomic Mass: Measured using mass spectrometry (MS).
    • 1H: 1.67 x 10^-24 g.
    • 12C: 1.99 x 10^-23 g.
  • Isotopes: Atoms of the same element (same Z) but with different mass numbers (different number of neutrons).
    • Examples: 1H (Hydrogen), 2H (Deuterium), 3H (Tritium).

Isotopic Abundance

  • Percentage of a particular isotope in a sample of an element.
  • Natural abundance: Abundance in naturally occurring material.
  • Examples:
    • Neon-20: 91% natural abundance.
    • Uranium-235: 0.7% natural abundance.

Average Atomic Mass

  • Relative atomic mass of an element considering the natural abundances of its isotopes.
  • Calculated by multiplying each isotope's exact mass by its percent abundance (expressed as a decimal) and summing the results.
  • Example: Average atomic mass of Carbon = [(12.000000)(0.9890) + (13.003355)(0.0110)] = 12.011 amu.

Relative Atomic Mass

  • One atomic mass unit (1 u) equals 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
  • Mass of one carbon-12 atom: 12 u exactly.
  • Mass of one carbon-12 atom = 1.9926 x 10^-23 g.
  • 1 u = (1.99 x 10^-23 g) / 12 = 1.6605 x 10^-24 g.

Mole (mol)

  • SI unit for amount of substance.
  • Contains Avogadro's Number (NA) of particles.
  • NA = 6.02214076(12) x 10^23 mol^-1.
  • 1 mole of any element contains NA atoms.
  • 1 mole of carbon-12 weighs 12 g.

Molar Mass

  • Mass per mole of atoms of an element.
  • Numerically, it's identical to the average atomic mass but has units of g/mol.
  • Examples:
    • 1 mol Au = 196.97 g.
    • 1 mol Cu = 63.54 g.
    • 1 mol Hg = 200.59 g.
  • Calculating the number of moles: Number of moles = (mass of sample) / (mass of one mole of the substance).
    • Example: 15 g Cl = (15 g) / (35.45 g/mol) = 0.423 mol Cl.
