    Study Notes

    Ions and Their Characteristics

    • Ions are charged species resulting from the gain or loss of electrons.
    • Cations have a positive charge due to the loss of electrons; e.g., Zn²⁺ has 30 protons and 28 electrons.
    • Anions have a negative charge due to the gain of extra electrons; e.g., Cl⁻ has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
    • Remembering the terms: "Cation" can be associated with a positive charge (+), while "Anion" corresponds to a negative charge (-).

    Hydrogen Isotopes

    • Hydrogen primarily exists as hydrogen-1 (protium) with just 1 proton.
    • Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) has 1 proton and 1 neutron, making it a heavier isotope.
    • Harold Urey isolated deuterium using fractional distillation, earning the 1934 Nobel Prize.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons, held together by fundamental forces.
    • The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons; it is short-range but powerful.
    • Electrostatic forces are significant between charged particles and govern chemical behavior.

    Nuclear Properties

    • The nucleus contains protons and neutrons (nucleons) and is extremely dense at around 1.8 x 10¹⁴ g/cm³.
    • As the number of protons increases beyond 83, atomic nuclei become unstable.

    Isotopes and Atomic Weights

    • Isotopes are variants of the same element with differing neutron counts, affecting atomic masses.
    • Average atomic weights on the periodic table reflect the weighted averages of isotopes based on their natural abundances.

    Weighted Averages in Atomic Mass Calculations

    • Atomic weights are calculated using the natural isotopic abundances of elements, like chlorine (75.53% Cl-35 and 24.47% Cl-37).
    • Example calculation shows the contribution of each isotope to the average atomic weight, resulting in precise periodic table listings.

    The Periodic Table and Element Discovery

    • Elements were arranged based on similar chemical properties, leading to the discovery of patterns or "triplets."
    • Dmitri Mendeleev, who created the periodic table in 1869, emphasized chemical properties over atomic weights in element placement.
    • Each row on the periodic table is referred to as a period, comprising seven known periods currently.
