Study Notes
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- Proposed in 1808 by John Dalton
- Postulated that all matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms.
- All atoms of the same element are identical in mass, size, and other properties.
- Atoms of different elements have different properties, and vary in size and mass.
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms combine in fixed whole-number ratios to form compounds.
Limitations of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- Doesn't account for subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons).
- Doesn't account for isotopes, which are different atoms of the same element with differing atomic masses.
- Doesn't account for isobars, which are different elements that share the same mass number.
- Doesn't explain the composition of compounds with non-simple ratios of atoms, such as sugar/sucrose (C11H22O11).
- Doesn't explain allotropes, which are elements existing in different forms with different properties, such as diamond and graphite (both of which contain only carbon).
Photoelectric Effect
- The emission of electrons from a metal surface when exposed to electromagnetic radiation of sufficiently high frequency.
- Also known as the photoelectric emission.
- The energy required to eject an electron from a metal surface is known as the work function (Φ).
- The kinetic energy of the ejected electron depends only on the frequency of the radiation, not its intensity.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
- Stated by Werner Heisenberg in 1927.
- It's impossible to determine both the position and momentum of a particle with perfect accuracy.
- If the position of a particle is measured more precisely, the uncertainty in its momentum increases, and vice versa.
Atomic Orbitals
- Mathematical functions that describe the wave-like behavior of electrons in an atom.
- Used to calculate the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the atom's nucleus.
- Classified by quantum numbers: n, l, and m.
- Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
- Shapes of orbitals: s, p, d, and f.
- The number of orbitals is equal to 2l+1.
Quantum Numbers
- Principal Quantum Number (n): Describes the electron's energy level within the atom.
- Azimuthal Quantum Number (l): Describes the shape of an electron's orbital.
- Magnetic Quantum Number (m): Determines the orientation of an electron's orbital in space.
- Spin Quantum Number (s): Describes the intrinsic angular momentum of an electron, referred to as its spin.
