Study Notes

Stoichiometry

The limiting reactant determines the amount of product formed in a reaction
The percent yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100%
The actual yield is the amount of product obtained in a reaction
The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed from a given amount of reactants

Solutions

Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution
The mass of solute can be calculated from the molarity, molecular weight, and volume
The number of moles of solute can be calculated by dividing the mass of solute by the molar mass

Quantum Numbers

The four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) describe the state of an electron in an atom
The principal quantum number (n) describes the electron shell and its average distance from the nucleus
The azimuthal quantum number (l) describes the shape of the orbital and its subshell
The magnetic quantum number (ml) describes the orientation of the orbital
The spin quantum number (ms) describes the spin of the electron

Pauli Exclusion Principle

No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers
This means that each orbital can only hold a maximum of two electrons, which have opposite spins
The spin magnetic moments of these two electrons cancel each other out

Electron Configuration

The electron configuration of an atom is the way in which electrons are arranged in the atom
The ground-state electrons occupy the shells in order of increasing value of n and then in order of increasing value of l
The orbital diagram represents each orbital with a dash and the electron with an arrow pointing up (↑) or down (↓) to represent its spin

VSEPR Theory

The VSEPR theory predicts the shapes of molecules by considering the repulsion between electron pairs in the valence shell
Nonbonding electrons occupy an equatorial position in SF4 to minimize repulsion
Nonbonding electrons occupy equatorial positions in ClF3 to result in a T-shaped molecule
The triiodide (I3-) ion has a linear shape because the nonbonding electrons occupy equatorial positions

Hybridization

The type of hybridization taking place within the atomic orbitals of the interacting atoms can predict the molecular geometry
Hybridization combines atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals

Chemical Bonding

Atoms bond to achieve a more stable state
This stable state is often achieved when the valence shell is filled with electrons or when the octet rule is satisfied (eight valence electrons)
Atoms can achieve stability by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons via bonds

Ions and Ionic Bonds

Ions are charged particles formed by gaining or losing electrons
Cations are positive ions formed by losing electrons
Anions are negative ions formed by gaining electrons
Ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

Formulas of Compounds

The chemical formula of a compound indicates the relative number of atoms of each element in the compound
The molecular formula gives the number of atoms of each type in a single molecule of the compound
The empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
Ionic compounds are composed of ions held together by electrostatic attraction and are not molecular
Their formulas represent the simplest ratio of ions in the compound

Periodic Law

The periodic law states that the properties of elements recur periodically when arranged in order of increasing atomic number
Mendeleev's periodic table organized elements so that similar elements appeared in vertical columns called groups
Mendeleev predicted the properties of missing elements based on his periodic table, which later led to the discovery of those elements
The discovery of noble gases expanded the periodic classification of elements
The atomic number, determined using X-rays, was found to be a more fundamental property than atomic weight for classifying elements
Moseley's discovery of X-ray spectra provided evidence for the atomic number being a fundamental property of elements, solving the problem of elements misplaced based on atomic weight alone
