    How does the ground state radius change with atomic number (Z)?

    The ground state radius decreases as the atomic number increases. This is because a higher nuclear charge attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling them closer to the nucleus.

    Course Information

    • Course title: CHEM 231 Inorganic Chemistry I
    • Credits: 3.0
    • Instructor: Dr. Mohamed Qenawy, Assistant Professor, Chemistry Department, UAEU

    Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry I (CHEM231)

    • Textbook: Inorganic Chemistry by Housecroft & Sharpe (5th Edition)
    • Images/figures in the presentation are copyrighted by Prentice Hall.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are mostly empty space, with a nucleus containing protons and neutrons
    • Electrons orbit the nucleus within an electron cloud.
    • Atomic Number (Z): Number of protons in the nucleus; defines the element
    • Mass Number (A): Total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) in the nucleus
    • Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons (and thus different mass numbers)
    • Properties of Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons:
      • Charge (in Coulombs)
      • Relative charge
      • Rest Mass (in kg)
      • Relative mass

    Atomic Mass Units (amu)

    • 12C atom has a mass of exactly 12 amu
    • 1 amu = 1/12 the mass of a ¹²C atom (1.66054 x 10⁻²⁴ g)
    • Atomic weights/average atomic masses of elements listed in the periodic table are reported in amu.
    • Values in amu are equal to values in g/mol.

    Isotopes

    • Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and different mass numbers (e.g., ¹²C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O)
    • If an element has only one nuclide, it is called monotopic (e.g., F-19, P-31)
    • Isotopes can be separated and quantified by mass spectrometry

    Mass Spectrometry

    • Technique used to separate and identify isotopes based on their mass-to-charge ratio
    • Relative signal intensities in a mass spectrum correspond to the fractional abundances of the isotopes

    Relative Atomic Mass (Chlorine Example)

    • Relative atomic mass is the weighted mean of the mass numbers of the isotopes (e.g., 35Cl and 37Cl).
    • The relative atomic mass of chlorine is calculated considering percentage distribution of each isotope

    Allotropes

    • Different structural modifications of the same element (e.g., different forms of sulfur)

    Bohr's Theory of the Atomic Spectrum of Hydrogen

    • Electrons determine the properties of atoms, ions, and molecules
    • Bohr model is only directly applicable to one-electron systems.
    • Wave model is applicable to all systems but only solvable exactly for one-electron systems.
    • Atoms emit and absorb characteristic wavelengths of light.
    • Wavelength is inversely related to energy (ΔE=hv=hc/λ)

    Hydrogen Emission Spectrum

    • Spectral emission lines (e.g., Lyman, Balmer, Paschen) correspond to specific transitions between electron energy levels.
    • Formula (Rydberg formula): predicts the wavelengths of spectral lines (e.g., Lyman, Balmer, Paschen)

    Bohr Model Applications and Concepts

    • Bohr explained the line emission spectra of hydrogen
    • Bohr model quantizes electron energy
    • Electrons in atoms can absorb light, promoting to higher energy levels; when in the lowest energy level is the ground state
    • Formulae for radii and energy levels are provided

    Additional Information

    • The presentation includes diagrams and figures illustrating concepts (e.g., atomic structure, mass spectrum, hydrogen emission spectrum).
    • The notes include equations for calculations (relative atomic mass, energy differences, Bohr's model).
    • Important variables for Bohr model equations are Z (atomic number) and n (principal quantum number).
