Study Notes
Chemistry Concepts
- Chemistry is fundamental in health sciences, covering methods, measurements, and various chemical principles.
- The key chapters include atomic structure, chemical equations, states of matter, solutions, energy, and nuclear medicine.
Composition of the Atom
- Atoms are the fundamental units of elements, retaining their chemical properties.
- Three primary subatomic particles:
- Electrons: Negatively charged, move outside the nucleus.
- Protons: Positively charged, found in the nucleus.
- Neutrons: Neutral particles, also located in the nucleus.
- A neutral atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Atomic Representation
- Atomic Number (Z): Number of protons.
- Mass Number (A): Total of protons and neutrons.
- Relationship: Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.
Subatomic Particles Properties
- Electrons: Charge -1, mass ~0.00055 amu.
- Protons: Charge +1, mass ~1.0 amu.
- Neutrons: Charge 0, mass ~1.0 amu.
Isotopes
- Isotopes are variations of the same element with different masses due to differing neutron numbers.
- Chemical properties remain the same among isotopes.
- Examples of hydrogen isotopes:
- Hydrogen-1 (Protium)
- Hydrogen-2 (Deuterium)
- Hydrogen-3 (Tritium)
Atomic Mass
- Atomic mass is a weighted average of isotopes' masses.
- Example: Chlorine has isotopes with mass numbers 35 and 37 in a common 3:1 ratio.
- Weighted average calculation is vital for determining atomic mass.
Periodic Table Insights
- Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer conceptualized the periodic law, showing elemental properties vary periodically with atomic mass.
- Elements are organized in rows (periods) and columns (groups) based on similar properties.
- Metals: Tend to lose electrons, conductive, malleable.
- Nonmetals: Tend to gain electrons, brittle, varied states (solid/gas).
- Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Electron Arrangement
- Electron configuration describes how electrons are distributed within an atom and is critical for bonding.
- Valence electrons are the outermost electrons involved in chemical reactions.
Quantum Mechanical Model
- The quantum mechanical model supersedes earlier models, taking wave-particle duality into account for electrons.
- Schrödinger's equations define electron probabilities in specific spatial regions, leading to sublevels (s, p, d, f) within principal energy levels.
Principal Energy Levels
- Principal energy levels (n=1, 2, 3, ...) indicate an increase in energy and distance from the nucleus.
- Maximum number of electrons in a principal energy level can be calculated as 2(n)².
- For example, n=1 allows 2 electrons; n=2 allows 8 electrons.
Summary
- Understanding atomic structure, periodic trends, electron configurations, and isotopic behaviors is essential in chemistry with applications in health sciences.
- The interrelation among atomic particles, their properties, and behaviors forms the basis for more complex chemical behaviors and interactions.
