Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are composed of a minute, positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons.
- The mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus.
- The electron configuration can be deduced from the atomic number.
- Atoms are fundamental building blocks of everything.
- Atoms have been theorized about for over 2500 years.
- Experimental evidence for atoms emerged in the 19th century.
- Atoms are too small to be seen directly.
- All atoms of a given element have identical chemical properties.
- Atoms of different elements have different properties.
- Atoms consist of subatomic particles.
- Atoms are largely empty space.
- Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Subatomic Particles
- Protons have a positive charge.
- Neutrons have no charge.
- Electrons have a negative charge.
- Relative masses and charges are given in the IB data booklet.
- The mass of the electron is negligible compared to protons and neutrons.
- Protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons.
- The nucleus is a small, dense, positively charged core.
- Electrons occupy the space outside the nucleus.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with varying neutron numbers.
Atomic Number and Mass Number
- Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons.
- Mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons.
- Isotopes have the same atomic number (Z) but different mass numbers (A).
Atomic Number
- The atomic number identifies the element.
- The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Mass Number
- The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Isotopes
- Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers are called isotopes.
- These atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
- Isotopes have different physical properties (e.g., boiling and melting points).
Nature of Science
- Scientific knowledge is continually evolving.
- New technologies facilitate scientific discoveries.
- Scientific ideas are often initially speculative before gaining experimental support.
- Scientists' work often involves collaborations and diverse perspectives.
- Models can be used to explain processes that may not be observable directly.
- Models are simplifications of reality, which may not be entirely accurate.
- Modifications and expansions to models happen as more data is collected.
- Models are adjusted or replaced when they are no longer aligned with observations.
Electron Configuration
- Electrons occupy specific energy levels (shells).
- Each energy level can hold a maximum number of electrons. (2n²).
- Each main energy level is divided into sub-levels (s, p, d, f).
- Sub-levels consist of orbitals.
- Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
- Hund’s rule describes the filling of orbitals within a sublevel.
- The Pauli exclusion principle indicates that each orbital can hold only two electrons.
Atoms Contain Electrons
- Electrons were discovered in the late 19th century.
- Different metals produce streams of negatively charged particles (electrons) when a high voltage is applied.
- Atoms contain electrons surrounding the nucleus.
- The electron configuration provides information about the arrangement of electrons within the atom.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
- Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels as waves.
- Different types of electromagnetic radiation have different wavelengths.
- The wavelength and frequency of radiation are related: c=νλ
- Electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
- Different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum correspond to different energies.
- Emission spectra are produced when excited electrons return to lower energy levels, giving off specific wavelengths of light..
- Atoms have unique emission spectra that can be used for identification
Atomic Emission Spectra
- Atoms emit light at specific wavelengths.
- Each element has a unique pattern or spectrum of wavelengths.
- This unique pattern is used to identify elements.
Bohr Model and Schrödinger Model
- Bohr's model envisions electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels.
- Schrödinger's model describes electron locations in orbitals, which are regions of space where an electron is likely to be found.
- Schrödinger's model is based on wave-like properties of electrons.
Electromagnetic Radiation
- Electromagnetic waves carry energy.
- The energy of electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency.
- Different types of electromagnetic radiation have different energies.
