Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atomic model:
- Rutherford's nuclear model: nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons
- Electron cloud: region where electrons are likely to be found
- Subatomic particles:
- Proton: positive charge, found in nucleus
- Neutron: no charge, found in nucleus
- Electron: negative charge, found in electron cloud
- Atomic number (Z): number of protons in an atom
- Mass number (A): total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
- Isotopes: atoms of the same element with different mass numbers
- Ions: atoms or groups of atoms with a charge (gained or lost electrons)
Periodic Table
- Arrangement:
- Rows: periods
- Columns: groups (families)
- Metals: left side and center of the table
- Non-metals: right side of the table
- Periodic trends:
- Atomic radius: decreases from left to right, increases down a group
- Electronegativity: increases from left to right, decreases down a group
- Ionization energy: increases from left to right, decreases down a group
- Blocks:
- s-block: first two columns (groups 1 and 2)
- p-block: last six columns (groups 13 to 18)
- d-block: middle ten columns (groups 3 to 12)
- f-block: lanthanides and actinides (bottom two rows)
Chemical Bonding
- Types of bonds:
- Ionic bond: transfer of electrons between atoms
- Covalent bond: sharing of electrons between atoms
- Polar covalent bond: unequal sharing of electrons between atoms
- Bonding theories:
- Electronegativity: ability of an atom to attract electrons
- VSEPR theory: shape of molecules based on electron pairs
- Molecular shape:
- Linear
- Bent
- Trigonal planar
- Tetrahedral
- Trigonal bipyramidal
- Octahedral
Acid-base Chemistry
- Arrhenius theory:
- Acid: substance that donates a proton (H+)
- Base: substance that accepts a proton
- Bronsted-Lowry theory:
- Acid: substance that donates a proton (H+)
- Base: substance that accepts a proton
- pH scale:
- Acidic: pH < 7
- Neutral: pH = 7
- Basic: pH > 7
- Strong and weak acids and bases:
- Strong acids: completely ionize in water
- Weak acids: partially ionize in water
- Strong bases: completely ionize in water
- Weak bases: partially ionize in water
Stoichiometry
- Mole concept:
- Mole (mol): 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.)
- Molar mass: mass of one mole of a substance
- Empirical and molecular formulas:
- Empirical formula: simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
- Molecular formula: actual number of atoms in a molecule
- Stoichiometric calculations:
- Moles of reactants and products
- Amount of substance (mass or volume) of reactants and products
- Yield calculations: actual amount of product formed
Atomic Structure
- Atomic model consists of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by an electron cloud, where electrons are likely to be found
- Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus
- Neutrons have no charge and are found in the nucleus
- Electrons have a negative charge and are found in the electron cloud
- Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in an atom
- Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers
- Ions are atoms or groups of atoms with a charge (gained or lost electrons)
Periodic Table
- The periodic table is arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups or families)
- Metals are found on the left side and center of the table
- Non-metals are found on the right side of the table
- Atomic radius decreases from left to right and increases down a group
- Electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group
- Ionization energy increases from left to right and decreases down a group
- The periodic table is divided into blocks: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms
- Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms
- Polar covalent bonds are formed by the unequal sharing of electrons between atoms
- Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons
- VSEPR theory predicts the shape of molecules based on electron pairs
- Molecular shapes include linear, bent, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral
Acid-base Chemistry
- Arrhenius theory defines acids as substances that donate a proton (H+) and bases as substances that accept a proton
- Bronsted-Lowry theory defines acids as substances that donate a proton (H+) and bases as substances that accept a proton
- pH scale: acidic (pH < 7), neutral (pH = 7), and basic (pH > 7)
- Strong acids completely ionize in water, while weak acids partially ionize in water
- Strong bases completely ionize in water, while weak bases partially ionize in water
Stoichiometry

- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance
- Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
- Molecular formula is the actual number of atoms in a molecule
- Stoichiometric calculations involve moles of reactants and products, amount of substance (mass or volume) of reactants and products, and yield calculations
