Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atomic number: a unique identifier for each element
- Atomic mass: the total mass of an atom, including protons, neutrons, and electrons
Subatomic Particles
- Protons, neutrons, and electrons weigh 1 Dalton each
Periodic Table
- Rows: periods
- Columns: groups
Atomic Properties
- Valence: the number of electrons an atom gains or loses to form a bond
- Note: valence refers to electrons, but also refers to the combining power of an atom
Ions and Bonding
- Ion: an atom with a net positive or negative charge
- Ionic bond: the attraction between oppositely charged ions (e.g. NaCl)
- Cation: a positively charged ion
- Anion: a negatively charged ion
Isotopes
- Isotopes: atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic masses
Molecular Structure
- Molecular formula: a formula that shows the number of atoms of each element in a molecule
- Molecular structure: a representation of the arrangement of atoms in a molecule
- Bohr model: a simplified model of atomic structure, showing electrons in energy levels
Covalent Bonds
- Non-polar covalent bond: a bond between atoms with similar electronegativities
- Polar covalent bond: a bond between atoms with different electronegativities
- Electronegativity order: Cl > O > N > C = H
- Delta + and delta -: partial charges, indicating a slight positive or negative charge on an atom
