Study Notes

Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration

Hund's Rule: Electrons fill orbitals singly before pairing.
Energy Level Rule:
- Defined by the formula (n+l).
- Different orbitals: s (l=0), p (l=1), d (l=2), f (l=3), g (l=4).
- Number of orbitals = 2l + 1; Electrons = 2(2l + 1).
- A maximum of 4l + 2 or 2n^2 electrons for energy levels.
Electronic Configuration:
- Hydrogen: 1s¹, Helium: 1s².
- For Lithium: [He] 2s¹; Beryllium: [He] 2s²; Boron: [He] 2s² 2p¹; Nitrogen: [He] 2s² 2p³; Oxygen: [He] 2s² 2p⁴; Neon: [He] 2s² 2p⁶; Sodium: [Ne] 3s¹.

Ion Formation and Group Characteristics

Ion Formation:
- Example: H₂O + H⁺ → H₃O⁺ involves lone pair electrons.
- Group 1, 2, 3 elements prefer losing outermost electrons.
Periodic Table Groups:
- Group 8 is inert, while groups 5, 6, 7 are reactive.

Theories of Chemical Bonding

Molecular Bond Theory: Atomic orbitals combine to form molecules through mixing.
Valence Bond Theory: Only valence electrons (outer shell) participate in reactions; overlapping of atomic orbitals forms bonds.

Hybridization and Bond Types

Hybridization:
- Mixing of atomic orbitals to form equivalent orbitals.
- Examples:
  - sp³ (tetrahedral),
  - sp² (trigonal planar),
  - sp (linear).
Pi Bonds: Formed from overlapping orbitals. Sigma bonds precede pi bonds.

Bond Energies and Reactions

Bond Lengths:
- CH₄ (1.54 pm), C=C (1.34 pm), C≡C (1.21 pm).
- Sigma bonds are stronger and require more energy to break than pi bonds.
Resonance: Bond order indicates reactivity and can yield fractional values in cases of resonance (e.g., NO₂ has a bond order of 1.33).

Chemical Bonding Basics

Bonds can be ionic or covalent (including ordinary and coordinate covalent).
Electronegativity: Measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons, critical in determining bond types.

Coordination Chemistry

Complex ions consist of a metal ion bonded to ligands; can be homoleptic (one type of ligand) or heteroleptic (multiple types).
Ligands: Can be unidentate, bidentate, or polydentate based on the number of donor atoms.
Coordination Number: Represents the number of ligands surrounding a metal ion.

Drug Interactions and Applications

Tetracycline: A drug that interacts with calcium, leading to reduced bioavailability when taken with dairy products.
EDTA: Chelating agent used for detecting metals and treating lead poisoning.
Chemical Interactions: Various types influence medicinal chemistry and drug design, including covalent interactions.

Additional Notes

Coordination Compounds: Formed from metals, primarily transition metals, and ligands. Naming depends on the charges and types of ligands.
Dative Bonds: Formed when an electron-deficient atom accepts an electron pair from another atom, creating strong bonds.
Electron Deficient Atoms: Examples include BF₃ and BeCl₂, which can form coordinate bonds through their electron deficiency.
