Study Notes
Definition and Branches of Chemistry
- Chemistry studies matter and its changes in composition.
- Inorganic Chemistry focuses on compounds without C-H bonds, including many inorganic metals.
- Analytical Chemistry involves the study of the chemistry of matter and tools to measure its properties.
- Physical Chemistry combines physics and chemistry, applying thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
- Biochemistry examines chemical processes in living organisms.
Matter and Its Properties
- Matter is the physical substance of the universe, characterized by having mass and occupying space.
- Matter is classified by its physical state:
- Solids are rigid, with fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids have fixed volumes but take the shape of their containers.
Atomic Models
- Dalton's Atomic Model laid the groundwork for atomic theory.
- J.J. Thomson proposed the Plum-Pudding Model, suggesting that electrons are embedded in a positive sphere of matter.
- Ernest Rutherford’s work established the planetary model where atoms consist of dense nuclei surrounded by electrons orbiting like planets.
Bohr's Atomic Model
- Niels Bohr introduced quantized energy levels for electrons, postulating their orbital behaviors and assuming they do not fall into the nucleus due to quantization.
- Described electrons in terms of standing waves, requiring whole wavelengths to fit in an orbit.
Quantum Mechanical Description of Atoms
- Erwin Schrödinger's equation unifies wavelike and particle-like properties of electrons, leading to quantum mechanics.
- Heisenberg highlighted the limits of measuring an electron's position and momentum simultaneously, establishing the uncertainty principle.
Intermolecular Forces
- Dipole-dipole interactions occur when polar molecules with partially charged ions attract each other.
- Hydrogen bonds, a strong type of dipole-dipole interaction, form between hydrogen and electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
Measurements in Chemistry
- Measurements provide macroscopic information on matter and energy behaviors, categorized as length, mass, and temperature.
- Quantum numbers describe electron orbitals and their properties:
- Principal Quantum Number (n) indicates the energy shell, with each shell having 'n' subshells.
- Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l) describes subshell shapes.
- Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) indicates orbital orientation.
- Spin Quantum Number (ms) specifies electron spin with values of +1/2 or -1/2.
Summary of Quantum Properties
- The number of orbitals in a shell is determined by n².
- Orbitals with the same l value but different ml are degenerate.
- An electron shell is a collection of orbitals with the same n value, while an electron subshell includes orbitals with the same n and l values.
