Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Properties
- Protons define the atomic number, while electrons equal protons in neutral atoms. Neutrons are calculated by subtracting atomic number from the mass number.
- Robert Boyle defined elements as pure substances that cannot be decomposed further, establishing a foundation for modern chemistry.
- Antoine Lavoisier, the "Father of Modern Chemistry," initiated a standardized naming system, identified gases like oxygen and hydrogen, and formulated the Law of Conservation of Mass.
- Atomic properties include metallic property (ability of an atom to donate an electron), atomic size (distance from the nucleus to the valence electron), reactivity (tendency to react), and ionization energy.
Periodic Table Organization
- Groups: Vertical columns group elements with similar valence electrons and chemical properties.
- Periods: Horizontal rows denote elements with the same number of electron shells.
Rydberg’s Equation
- Used to quantify wavelengths during electron transitions from excited to ground states.
- The equation is expressed as ( \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right) ).
Electron Wave Theory
- Louis de Broglie proposed that electrons exhibit wave-like behavior, impacting their representation in quantum mechanics.
Quantum Mechanical Model
- Models describe electron positions as probabilities in 3D space, characterized by quantum numbers:
- Principal (n): main energy level,
- Azimuthal (l): shape of orbitals,
- Magnetic (m): orbital orientation,
- Spin (s): electron spin direction.
Atomic Spectrum of Hydrogen
- The emission spectrum results from atom excitation followed by photon release, observed in the Hydrogen Spectrum Series.
Light as a Particle
- Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect demonstrated that light can eject electrons from metals when photons strike the surface.
Kinetic and Work Function Energy
- Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy driving electron ejection given by ( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 ).
- Work Function (φ) is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron, represented by ( φ = h f_0 ).
Electron Configuration
- Electron configuration denotes how electrons are arranged in atomic orbitals, following principles like Aufbau (building from the lowest to highest energy).
- Valence electron configuration includes electrons at the highest energy level.
Chemical Bonds
- Chemical bonds arise from electron transfer or sharing to achieve stable electronic configurations.
- Mole: A mole equals Avogadro’s Number (approximately ( 6.022 \times 10^{23} )).
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination Reaction: Two or more reactants form one product (A + B → AB).
- Decomposition Reaction: A single compound breaks down into two or more substances (AB → A + B).
Le Chatelier’s Principle
- Describes system shifts in response to changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature, aimed at re-establishing equilibrium conditions.
Radioactive Decay
- Stability in nuclear reactions is influenced by the neutron-to-proton ratio, with stable nuclei having certain "magic numbers."
- Types of radioactive decay include alpha, beta, and gamma decay.
