Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The smallest particle of an element that maintains the chemical properties of that element is called an atom.
- An element is comprised of atoms that share the same chemical properties.
- Sb, Cu, Au, Fe, Pb, Hg, K, Ag, Na, Sn, and W are element symbols derived from Latin and German names.
Periodic Table
- The periodic table arranges elements into vertical columns called groups and horizontal rows called periods.
- Elements in the same group are called congeners.
- Alkali metals make up Group I (Na, Li, K, Rb, Cs).
- Alkaline earth metals make up Group II (Be, Ca, Mg, Sr, Ba).
- Halogens make up Group VII (F, Cl, Br, I).
- Noble gases make up Group VIII (Kr, He, Ne, Xe, Rn).
- Transition metals are located between Groups II and III.
- s-block elements refer to Groups I and II.
- p-block elements refer to Groups III to VIII.
- d-block elements refer to transition metals.
- f-block elements refer to lanthanides and actinides.
Minerals in Multivitamins & Baby Formula
- Calcium (Ca)
- Phosphorus (P)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Iron (Fe)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Manganese (Mn)
- Copper (Cu)
- Iodine (I)
- Selenium (Se)
- Sodium (Na)
- Potassium (K)
- Chlorine (Cl)
General Information
- A metal is a substance that conducts electricity, has a metallic luster, and is malleable and ductile.
- A non-metal is a substance that does not conduct electricity and is neither malleable nor ductile.
- A metalloid has the physical appearance and properties of a metal but chemically acts like a non-metal. Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), and Tellurium (Te) are examples.
Atomic Components
- Electrons were discovered by J.J. Thomson.
- Electrons have one negative charge (e–), a charge of 1.6 x 10–19 coulombs (C), and a mass of 9.1 x 10–28 grams.
- Protons were discovered by James Chadwick.
- Protons have one positive charge (p+). They are approximately 1836 times heavier than an electron.
- Protons are located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons are neutral. They are located in the nucleus.
- The nucleus is the positively charged center of the atom where protons and neutrons reside. It was proposed by Ernest Rutherford.
Atomic Number, Mass Number, and Average Atomic Mass
- The atomic number (Z) is the quantity of protons in the nucleus. It is written above the chemical symbol.
- An atom is electrically neutral, its number of protons must equal the number of electrons.
- Mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons: A=Z+N
- The mass of an atom is measured by mass spectrometry.
- Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different masses due to a variation in the number of neutrons.
- Isotopic abundance is the percentage of an isotope in a sample.
- Natural abundance refers to the abundance of an isotope in a natural sample.
- Average atomic mass (also called atomic weight) is the average relative mass of an element, taking into account the natural abundance of its isotopes.
- Relative atomic mass is a comparison of an atom's mass with the mass of one atom of carbon-12.
- 1 atomic mass unit (u) is equivalent to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
The Mole and Molar Mass
- 1 mole of atoms of any element contains Avogadro’s number (NA) of atoms, which is 6.022 x 1023.
- 1 mole of carbon-12 is 12 grams.
- The molar mass of an element or compound is the mass of 1 mole expressed in grams.
- The molar mass of an element is numerically equal to the average atomic mass in atomic mass units (amu).
- For example, 1 mole of gold (Au) has a mass of 196.97 grams, 1 mole of copper (Cu) is 63.54 grams, and 1 mole of mercury (Hg) is 200.59 grams.
