    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
    • Electrons are found in energy levels (shells) around the nucleus.
    • The number of protons in an atom determines the element.
    • The number of electrons in an atom can vary, leading to ions.

    Isotopes

    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
    • Examples: 12C, 13C, 14C; 35Cl, 37Cl.

    Ions

    • Positive ions have lost electrons.
    • Negative ions have gained electrons.
    • Examples: Na+ (11 protons, 12 neutrons, 10 electrons); F- (9 protons, 10 neutrons, 10 electrons).

    Relative Atomic Mass

    • The relative atomic mass is the weighted average of the mass numbers of different isotopes.
    • It is calculated based on the abundance of each isotope.
    • Formula: (mass number of isotope 1 x percentage abundance of isotope 1) + (mass number of isotope 2 x percentage abundance of isotope 2) + ... / 100.

    Electron Energy Levels

    • The number of electrons in the outer energy level determines the group number of an element in the periodic table.
    • Each energy level (shell) can hold a maximum number of electrons: 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second shell, 8 in the third shell, and 18 in the fourth shell.

    Noble Gases

    • The noble gases are very unreactive elements.
    • They have a full outer energy level.
    • Examples: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn.
    • The boiling points of noble gases increase with their relative atomic masses.
    • The boiling points of noble gases are all lower than room temperature.
