Study Notes
Atomic Number
- The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
Basic Structure of Atoms
- Hydrogen: Consists of 1 proton and 1 electron.
- Oxygen: Contains 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons.
Mass Number (Atomic Mass)
- The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
Subatomic Particles
- Protons: Positively charged particles located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons: Neutral particles also found in the nucleus.
- Electrons: Negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus.
Atomic Orbitals
- The Pauli Exclusion Principle:
- A maximum of two electrons can occupy a single atomic orbital.
- These two electrons must have opposite spins.
Filling of Atomic Orbitals
- The table shows electronic configurations for elements from Lithium (Li) to Neon (Ne).
- Up and down arrows represent electrons with opposite spins.
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Ionic Bond:
- Formed by electrostatic attraction between ions.
- An atom losing electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
- Gaining electrons leads to a negatively charged ion (anion).
- Example: Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl).
- Covalent Bond:
- Sharing of a pair of valence electrons between two atoms.
- This sharing results in a noble gas electronic configuration.
- Examples: Hydrogen (H₂) and Methane (CH₄).
Type of Covalent bond
- Polar Covalent Bond:
- Unequal sharing of electrons leading to a partial positive charge (δ+) on one atom and a partial negative charge (δ-) on the other.
- Example: H:F.
- Nonpolar Covalent Bond:
- Equal sharing of electrons between two identical atoms, resulting in no charge separation.
- Example: F:F.
Electronegativity
- An atom's tendency to attract bonding electrons towards itself, creating a polar charge distribution.
- Periodic Table: Electronegativity values are shown on the periodic table, ranging from low to high.
How To Write and Interpret Structural Formulas
- Different representations of a molecule:
- Ball-and-stick model: 3D representation with atoms as spheres and bonds as sticks.
- Electron-dot formula: 2D representation showing atoms and valence electrons as dots.
- Dash formula: 2D representation showing atoms and bonds using dashes.
- Condensed formula: Simplified representation showing the order of atoms and associated hydrogens.
- Bond-line formula: Simplified representation using lines for bonds.
Families of Organic Compounds
- Organic Compounds:
- Open chain or Aliphatic organic compounds:
- Alkanes
- Alkenes
- Alkynes
- Closed chain or Cyclic organic compounds:
- Homocyclic compounds:
- Alicyclic organic compounds
- Heterocyclic compounds:
- Aromatic organic compounds
- Homocyclic compounds:
- Open chain or Aliphatic organic compounds:
