Study Notes
Chemistry for Engineers 1: The Periodic Table of Elements
- The course covers the periodic table, quantum theory, and the history of the periodic table.
- Objectives include defining quantum numbers and periodic classification of elements, differentiating between energy levels, subshells, and atomic orbitals, and illustrating quantum numbers and electronic configurations.
Quantum Theory and The History of The Periodic Table
- Quantum mechanics is based on the wave properties of matter and describes the behavior of small particles (electrons in atoms, etc.)
- Quantum Mechanics is an important theory for understanding atomic structure.
Basic Ideas of Quantum Mechanics
- Atoms and molecules exist in specific energy states. Each energy state corresponds to a definite energy level.
- When atoms or molecules absorb or emit radiation, they change their energy.
- The energy states of atoms and molecules can be described using quantum numbers.
Energy Level, Subshells & Atomic Orbital
- Energy levels, also called electron shells, are regions in space where the probability of finding an electron is highest.
- Energy subshells (sublevels) are subdivisions of electron shells.
- Atomic orbitals are regions in space with a high probability of finding a specific electron— sometimes described as electron clouds.
Electrons in Each Energy Levels
- The maximum number of electrons allowed in each energy level (n) is given by the formula 2n2. For example, the first energy level (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons (2 x 12 = 2), and the fourth energy level (n=4) can hold a maximum of 32 electrons (2 x 42 = 32).
Energy Level, Subshells & Atomic Orbital (Diagram)
- A diagram illustrates how energy levels, subshells, and atomic orbitals are related. The diagram shows the increasing energy levels and the orbitals within each subshell.
Principal Quantum Numbers
- The principal quantum number (n) describes the main energy level or shell occupied by an electron.
- Values for n are positive integers (1, 2, 3, 4...). Higher values correspond to higher energy levels.
Angular Momentum Quantum Number
- The angular momentum quantum number (l) defines the shape of the electron's orbital.
- The value of l can be integers from 0 to n-1 (example: if n = 3, the values of l can be 0, 1, and 2).
- l = 0 is an s orbital, l = 1 is a p orbital, l = 2 is a d orbital, l = 3 is an f orbital.
Magnetic Quantum Numbers
- The magnetic quantum number (ml) describes the orientation of the orbital in space.
- Values for ml range from -l to +l, including 0. For example, if l = 1 (a p orbital), ml can be -1, 0, or +1, corresponding to the three possible orientations in space.
Spin Quantum Numbers
- The spin quantum number (ms) refers to the spin of an electron and the orientation of the magnetic field produced by that spin.
- It can only have two values: +1/2 or -1/2, indicating the two possible spin directions.
Guiding Principles
- Aufbau Principle: Electrons first fill the lowest energy levels available before filling higher levels.
- Hund's Rule: Electrons singly occupy orbitals within a subshell before pairing up, maximizing the total spin.
- Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
Electron Configuration
- The arrangement of electrons in different shells (energy levels) and subshells (orbitals).
- Different symbols (e.g., [He], [Ne]) represent the core electron configuration of noble gases for convenience.
- Elements have unique electron configurations which relate to their chemical properties. Example configurations provided.
Periodic Table
- Elements in the table are arranged according to increasing atomic number.
- Rows (periods) show periodic patterns in element properties.
- Columns (groups or families) contain elements that share similar chemical properties.
- Different blocks (s, p, d, f) in the table relate to the subshells where electrons fill.
Periodic Variations of Elements
- Studying how properties of elements change across and down the periodic table.
- The values (trends) of atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, and ionic size differ from place to place on the periodic table.
Summary of Periodic Trends
- Summary table of trends for atomic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity, electron affinity, and ionic size. The trends for the periodic properties of the elements are presented in a table.
