Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons carry a positive charge, electrons a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral.
- Protons and neutrons reside in the atom's nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus.
Atomic Number, Mass, and Isotopes
- Atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
- Atomic mass refers to the average mass of an atom, considering isotopes.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
The Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and properties.
- Elements are arranged in groups (vertical columns) and periods (horizontal rows).
- Groups share similar chemical properties due to a similar number of valence electrons.
- Periods show trends in atomic size and electronegativity.
Element Properties and Categories
- Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids based on their properties.
- Electronegativity measures an element's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
- Atomic radius increases down a group and decreases across a period.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons.
- Covalent bonds form between nonmetals through the sharing of electrons.
- Metallic bonds form between metal atoms by sharing a "sea" of delocalized electrons.
Predicting Bond Types
- Bond types can be predicted based on the types of elements involved in the reaction.
Chemical Equations
- Chemical equations represent chemical reactions.
- Chemical equations are balanced to maintain conservation of mass.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Synthesis reactions combine two or more substances to form a more complex one.
- Decomposition reactions break down a complex substance to simpler ones.
- Other types of reactions exist, such as single-displacement/replacement, double-displacement/replacement, and combustion reactions.
