    Study Notes

    General Chemistry Overview

    • General Chemistry covers fundamental concepts crucial for health sciences.
    • Key chapters include: Methods and Measurements, Atomic Structure, States of Matter, and Nuclear Medicine.

    Composition of the Atom

    • Atoms consist of three subatomic particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons.
    • Nucleus contains protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge).
    • Electrons are negatively charged and located outside the nucleus, moving rapidly.

    Atomic Properties

    • Atomic number (Z) equals the number of protons.
    • Mass number (A) represents the sum of protons and neutrons.
    • For a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

    Subatomic Particle Characteristics

    • Electrons: Charge of -1, mass of approximately 0.00055 amu.
    • Protons: Charge of +1, mass of about 1.0 amu.
    • Neutrons: No charge, mass of approximately 1.0 amu.

    Isotopes

    • Isotopes are variants of elements with the same number of protons but different neutrons.
    • Examples include Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Tritium.
    • Isotopes of the same element share identical chemical properties, but some can be radioactive.

    Atomic Mass Calculation

    • Atomic mass is the weighted average of isotopes' masses in nature.
    • For chlorine, atomic mass (35.34) derived from isotopes 35Cl and 37Cl with respective abundances of 75.77% and 24.23%.
    • Calculation involves converting percentages to decimal, multiplying by isotope mass, then summing contributions.

    Periodic Law and Table

    • Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer developed the Periodic Table based on atomic mass and properties.
    • Periodic Law states properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
    • Periods are horizontal rows; groups (families) are vertical columns.

    Element Classification

    • Metals: Typically lose electrons, form positive ions, have high conductivity, malleability, and luster; primarily found in the left two-thirds of the periodic table.
    • Nonmetals: Gain electrons, form negative ions; appear in the right third of the table, often brittle and gaseous.
    • Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.

    Electron Configuration

    • Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons in atoms, with valence electrons being crucial for bonding.
    • Principal energy levels increase in energy and distance from the nucleus, noted as n (n=1, 2, 3,...).
    • Each principal level has corresponding sublevels (s, p, d, f) that determine specific regions where electrons are likely to be found.

    Schrödinger’s Quantum Mechanics

    • Schrödinger developed equations to describe electrons' probable positions, integrating particle and wave characteristics.
    • Each principal level contains sublevels, with the capacity of each level calculated as 2(n)^2, defining maximum electron holdings (e.g., n=2 holds 8 electrons).

    Energy Levels

    • As n increases, energy levels rise, with each having the same number of sublevels as its value (e.g., n=3 has three sublevels).
