Study Notes
Actual Yield and Percent Yield
- Actual yield is the measured amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction.
- Percent yield formula: (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) × 100.
Atomic Structure
- John Dalton introduced the atomic theory in 1808, describing atoms as the smallest indivisible particles of matter.
- Atomic radii are approximately 10^(-8) cm.
- Atoms consist of three subatomic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Electron
- Discovered by J.J. Thomson through cathode rays; named by Stoney.
- Carries a negative charge of -1.6 × 10^(-19) C.
- Mass: 9.11 × 10^(-31) kg; one mole of electrons has a mass of 0.55 mg.
- Characteristics of cathode rays:
- Travel in straight lines, causing fluorescence when striking glass.
- Induce mechanical motion in pinwheels placed in their path.
- Produce X-rays upon hitting metals and are deflected by electric/magnetic fields.
- J.J. Thomson measured the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron (e/me) as 1.758820 × 10^(11) C/kg.
Proton
- Discovered by Rutherford from anode ray experiments.
- Carries a positive charge of +1.6 × 10^(-19) C.
- Mass: 1.007276 u; the specific charge ratio is 9.58 × 10^(-4) C/g.
- Characteristics of anode rays:
- Travel in straight lines with significantly greater mass than electrons.
- Generated in the space between anode and cathode; they can also induce mechanical motion and are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Neutron
- Discovered by Chadwick in 1932 as neutral particles.
- Mass: 1.675 × 10^(-24) g or 1.008665 amu.
- Example reaction: 4Be + 42He → 12C + 10n (producing neutrons).
Other Subatomic Particles
- Positron: A positive electron (+1e) discovered by Dirac and Anderson.
- Neutrino and antineutrino: Small mass, no charge, identified by Fermi.
- Mesons: Unstable particles, including pi ions (π +, π −, π 0), discovered by Yukawa and Kemmer.
- Anti-proton: Negative counterpart of proton, discovered by Segre and Weigland.
Thomson's Atomic Model
- Proposed atom as a positive sphere with electrons within; known as the plum pudding model.
- Could not explain results from Rutherford’s scattering experiments.
Rutherford’s Nuclear Model
- Based on α-particle scattering experiments; proposed that:
- Most of the atom is empty space, contradicting Thomson's model.
Key Concepts in Atomic Structure
- Topics include Dalton's Atomic Theory, the Mole Concept, Atomic Mass, and concepts such as Stoichiometry and Quantum Theory (Bohr's model, de-Broglie principle, etc.).
- Related topics in the study of atomic structure include atomic number, mass number, electromagnetic wave theory, and electronic configuration.
