Study Notes
The Modern Periodic Table
- Organized into rows (Periods) and columns (Groups) for systematic classification of elements.
Quantum Numbers
- Principal Quantum Number (n): Represents the main energy level of electrons in an atom.
- Subsidiary Quantum Number (l): Defines the shape of an electron's orbital (s, p, d, f).
- Magnetic Quantum Number (m): Specifies the orientation of the orbital in space.
- Spin Quantum Number (s): Indicates the intrinsic spin of an electron, which can be either +1/2 or -1/2.
Electron Configuration
- Follows specific principles for electron arrangement in atoms:
- Aufbau Principle: Electrons fill orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to higher levels.
- Hund’s Rule: Electrons occupy degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up to minimize repulsion.
Ionization Potential
- Definition: The amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.
- Trend: Ionization potential increases across a period (left to right) and decreases down a group (top to bottom).
Oxidation Number
- Indicates the electric charge of an ion or atom in a compound, which can be positive or negative.
- Reflects the degree of oxidation or reduction an element has undergone in a chemical reaction.
