Study Notes

Atomic Structure

An atom is the smallest unit of matter forming a chemical element.
Atoms are composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons.
The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; neutrons have no charge.
The number of protons defines the atomic number of an element.
The number of protons plus neutrons is the mass number.
Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms with a net positive or negative charge due to loss or gain of electrons.

The Periodic Table

The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and properties.
Elements with similar properties are grouped together.
Elements are classified into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Elements also categorized into groups (vertical columns).

Electron Configuration

Electrons fill atomic orbitals following rules: Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, Hund’s rule.
The arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals is its electron configuration.
The different types of orbitals: s, p, d and f.
Each principle energy level corresponds to a certain orbital.

Periodic Table Trends

Atomic radius generally increases going down a group and decreases going across a period.
Ionization energy generally increases going across a period and decreases going down a group.
Electronegativity generally increases going across a period and decreases going down a group.
Electron affinity generally increases going across a period and decreases going down a group.
Effective nuclear charge generally increases going across a period.

Types of Chemical Bonds

Ionic bonds: Occur between atoms with large differences in electronegativity. One atom loses electrons to become a cation, while another gains electrons to become an anion.
Covalent bonds: Occur when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Hydrogen bonds: A special type of dipole-dipole interaction occurring between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, or F) and an electronegative atom in a different molecule.
Van der Waals forces: Weak intermolecular forces resulting from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution.
Metallic bonds: Occur between metal atoms, where valence electrons are delocalized and shared among many atoms.

Chemical Forces

Intramolecular forces: Strong forces that hold atoms together within a molecule.
Intermolecular forces: Weak forces that exist between molecules.

Chemical Nomenclature

Chemical nomenclature is the systematic naming of chemical compounds.
Ionic compounds are named by stating the cation followed by the anion.
Molecular compounds are named by using prefixes to indicate the number of each element.

Naming Oxoacids and Oxoanions

systematic naming of oxygen-containing acids and their conjugate bases.
The naming scheme differentiates between -ic and -ous in acid names, and the corresponding -ate or -ite suffixes in the names of oxoanions (conjugate base of oxoacids).

Elements and their Properties

Specific elements (e.g., alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases) have characteristic properties that influence their behavior.
All elements have unique properties defining their behaviors and interaction with other elements and molecules.

Isotopes

Different forms of the same element which have the same number of protons but are different in the number of electrons.

Formulae/Models

Different ways of representing chemical compounds (e.g., molecular formula, structural formula, ball-and-stick model).
Chemical formulae and models aid in picturing the shape of the molecules and their constituent atoms.

Orbital Hybridisation

Hybridization of atomic orbitals occurs when atoms bond to form molecules.
Hybridization involves mixing atomic orbitals of comparable energies to produce new orbitals (hybrid orbitals).
Different types of hybridization (e.g., sp³, sp², sp) lead to unique molecular shapes and bonding patterns.

Molecular Shapes

Different molecular shapes (e.g., linear, bent, tetrahedral, trigonal planar) result from different bonding arrangements.
The arrangement of atoms in a molecule impacts its physical and chemical properties.

Polarity

A molecule's dipole moment is a measure of its overall polarity.
It is influenced by the differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms.
Polar molecules exhibit net dipole moments due to an uneven distribution of charge.

Boiling Point

The boiling point is the temperature where the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the surrounding pressure.
Varied by surrounding pressure and different properties of various compounds.

Melting point

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes state to liquid.
Affected by surrounding pressure.

Solubility

Solubility refers to how much of a substance (solute) can dissolve in another substance (solvent).
Factors affecting solubility include temperature, pressure, and chemical properties.

Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism

Paramagnetic materials are weakly attracted to magnetic fields due to the presence of unpaired electrons.
Diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by magnetic fields due to all paired electrons.

Definitions of Some Terms

Several terms are defined to aid in understanding different chemical behaviours and compounds.
