    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are composed of three fundamental particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.
    • Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus, which is a tiny, dense core at the atom's center.
    • Electrons orbit the nucleus.
    • Electrons have a negative charge; protons have a positive charge; neutrons have no charge.
    • The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.

    Atomic Number and Mass Number

    • Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
    • Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
    • For a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
    • The number of neutrons is calculated as A – Z.

    Atomic Properties

    • Atomic number (Z): identifies an element (e.g., Z = 6 for carbon).
    • Mass number (A): identifies the isotope of an element.
    • Elements exist as different isotopes based on variations in their numbers of neutrons, affecting mass but not chemical properties.

    Periodic Table

    • Elements in the periodic table are arranged by increasing atomic number (Z).
    • Groups (vertical columns) show elements with similar chemical properties.
    • Periods (horizontal rows) show trends in electron configurations and properties.
    • The modern periodic table organizes elements by their atomic number and recurring chemical properties.
    • Atomic radius: increases down a group and decreases across a period.
    • Ionization energy: increases across a period and decreases down a group.
    • Electronegativity: increases across a period and decreases down a group.
    • Ionic radius: Metals tend to lose electrons and become smaller upon ionization (e.g., Ca > Ca2+); non-metals (right of table) tend to gain electrons becoming larger (e.g., O < O2-).

    Quantum Numbers

    • The four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) describe an electron's properties within an atom's energy levels.
    • n (principal quantum number): signifies the energy level.
    • l (azimuthal quantum number): specifies the subshell or orbital shape (s, p, d, f).
    • ml (magnetic quantum number): indicates the orbital's orientation.
    • ms (spin quantum number): describes the electron's spin. Electron pairing describes how electrons fill orbitals.

    Electron Configurations

    • Electron configuration illustrates the arrangement of electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of an atom.
    • Configuration is determined by the Aufbau principle.
    • Valence electrons (outermost) are involved in chemical bonding.

    Electron Orbital Shapes

    • s orbitals are spherical, p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped, d orbitals have more complex shapes.

    Electron Pairing Rules

    • Hund's rule states that electron orbitals fill singly before doubling up.
    • Pauli exclusion principle mandates that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

    Chemical Bonds

    • Ionic bonds: formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms, forming ions that attract each other.
    • Covalent bonds: formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
    • Polar covalent bonds: electrons are shared unequally due to differences in electronegativity leading to partial charges.
    • Nonpolar covalent bonds: atoms share electrons equally.
    • Polyatomic ions are multi-atom structures with a net charge.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Reactants are transformed into products via rearrangement or exchange of electrons.
    • Balancing chemical equations ensures that atoms are conserved in a reaction.
    • Identifying the limiting reagent helps determine the maximal amount of product possible.
    • Stoichiometric mixtures react in exact mole ratios, maximizing product formation.

    Atomic and Nuclear Concepts

    • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons: Protons and neutrons make up the small, dense nucleus. Electrons exist outside the nucleus.

    • Atomic Number (Z): Identifies the number of protons and thus the element type.

    • Mass Number (A): The sum of protons and neutrons. Indicates the isotope of an element.

    • Isotopes: Forms of an element with varying numbers of neutrons.

    • Radioactive decay: Unstable nuclei transforming into more stable ones.

    • Modes of Decay: Alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, positron emission, and electron capture.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Ionic bonding: Occurs when electrons are transferred between atoms, forming ions that attract each other.

    • Covalent bonding: Occurs when atoms share electrons. Polar covalent bonding is when electrons are shared unequally. Non-polar covalent is when electrons are shared equally.

    • Lewis structures: Represent atoms and bonds using dots to depict valence electrons.

    • VSEPR theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion): Predicts the shapes of molecules by considering the arrangement of electron pairs to minimize electrostatic repulsion.

    • Polarity: Differences in electronegativity may create polar bonds and molecules.

    Properties of Water

    • Water is a polar molecule due to its bent shape and uneven electron distribution.
    • This polarity allows water to dissolve many ionic and polar substances. This is known as hydration.
    • Water's properties are crucial for many biological processes.
