Study Notes
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).
