Study Notes
Electromagnetic Radiation
- A form of energy that travels as a wave through space, can include light, x-rays, radio waves, and microwaves.
- Waves can be characterized by four properties: wavelength, amplitude, frequency, and speed.
Key Wave Properties
- Wavelength: The shortest distance between equivalent points on a wave.
- Amplitude: The height of a wave from the origin to a crest or trough.
- Frequency: Measured in hertz (Hz), equivalent to one wave per second.
Energy and Photons
- Quantum: Minimum energy that can be lost or gained by an atom.
- Energy can only be emitted or absorbed in whole-number multiples according to Planck’s theory.
- The energy of a photon is calculated using the equation (E = hv), where (h) is Planck’s constant.
Atomic Emission
- Photoelectric Effect: Electrons are emitted from a metal's surface when it is illuminated with light of certain frequencies.
- Each element has a unique atomic emission spectrum.
- A flame test can identify elements based on their atomic emission spectrum, which consists of specific colors and frequencies unique to each element.
Bohr's Atomic Model
- Predicts frequencies of lines in hydrogen’s atomic emission spectrum.
- Electrons occupy orbits around the nucleus, with lower orbits corresponding to lower energy levels.
- Electrons can move to higher-energy orbits when energy is added and emit photons corresponding to energy level transitions.
- Model fails for elements beyond hydrogen concerning atomic emission spectra.
Quantum Mechanical Model
- Treats electrons as waves and is based on the Schrödinger wave equation.
- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: It’s impossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron simultaneously.
- Atomic Orbital: A three-dimensional region around the nucleus representing the probability of an electron's location.
Electron Configuration
- Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
- S Orbitals: Spherically shaped; there is one s orbital within the first principal energy level.
- P Orbitals: Dumbbell-shaped; consist of three equal-energy orbitals.
- Electrons arrange themselves in a way that minimizes energy, achieving the lowest possible energy state (ground state).
Valence Electrons and Structure
- Valence electrons are the outermost electrons influencing chemical reactivity.
- The Aufbau Principle states that electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first.
- Electron-dot structures represent an atom's nucleus and inner electrons with the elemental symbol, while dots indicate valence electrons.
Chlorine Valence Electrons
- Chlorine has five valence electrons from its electron configuration ([Ne]3s^2 3p^5).
