Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Subatomic Particles: Protons (+1, mass 1), electrons (-1, mass ~0), neutrons (0, mass 1)
- Relative Charge and Mass: Protons have a positive charge and a relative mass of 1. Electrons have a negative charge and a negligible relative mass (approximately 0). Neutrons have no charge and a relative mass of 1.
- Electronic Structure: Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells (or energy levels).
- Shell Models: In simpler models (e.g., O-levels) atoms have shells (or energy levels) filled as follows:
- Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell.
- Core electrons are the other electrons.
- The number of electrons in each shell increases as you move further from the nucleus.
Quantum Model
- Electrons: Electrons are arranged in shells (n=1, 2, 3...).
- Subshells: Each shell has subshells that can hold a given number of electrons (s, p, d, f).
- Orbitals: Each subshell has orbitals.
- Maximum number of electrons: Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. If orbitals have equal energy, each orbital will fill with one electron before pairing of electrons occurs in that orbital.
- Filling Order: Electrons fill subshells in order of increasing energy levels.
- Spin: Electrons have a property called spin. To fill an orbital, the first electron will have one spin and the second electron will have the opposite spin.
Electronic Configuration
- Elements: Fill orbitals using the Aufbau principle. The shells are filled according to increasing energy level. Use orbital diagrams for filling in electrons. Show the order of filling the subshells, as well as representing the electrons with arrows representing spin.
- Electron Configuration: Representing arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom using symbols for different subshells (e.g., 1s², 2s², 2p6, 3s², etc.)
- Shorthand: Use noble gases as shorthand to represent the full configuration (e.g., [Ar] 4s13d5 for chromium).
- Anomalous Configurations: Some elements have unusual electron configurations (e.g., Cr, Cu) because stable configurations occur when the subshells are half-filled or completely filled.
- Ionization Energy: Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom.
Periodic Table
- Blocks: Elements are organized into blocks (s, p, d, f) based on their electron configuration.
- Trends in First Ionization Energy: The first ionization energy generally increases across a period because the nuclear charge is increasing and shielding is constant across the period. The nuclear charge pulls the electrons in more tightly as you go to the right of the periodic table, increasing the energy required to remove the electron.
- Trends in First Ionization Energy (Down a Group): Generally decreases down a group because the shielding effect of core electrons increases, hence the attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons weaken.
- Trends in Atomic Radius: Generally decreases across a period because the force of attraction increases across the period. Generally increases down a group due to increasing in shell number.
- Periodicity: Properties of elements show patterns based on their electron arrangements—this is due to the repeating electron structures. It is important to understand the relationship between the trends across a period/column in the periodic table.
Ions
- Formation: Formed by removing or adding electrons to neutral atoms.
- Electronic Configuration of Ions: Removing an electron uses electronic configuration, removing from higher to lower energy level orbitals first, then subshells.
- Shorthand: Use noble gas configuration as shorthand to represent the full electronic configuration of the ion. Remove electrons first from the highest energy level orbitals and then from the highest energy level subshells before filling the other subshells.
Orbital Shapes
- s orbitals: Spherical
- p orbitals: Dumbbell-shaped, three orientations (px, py, pz)
