    Study Notes

    • The text discusses various elements and their roles in the body, as well as atomic orbitals and their energies.

    • The human body is mainly composed of main group elements, but first transition metal to appear is iron (0.006%).

    • Iron is essential for red blood cells, which transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, and each hemoglobin molecule has four iron atoms.

    • Other transition metals like zinc, copper, manganese, and cobalt have critical functions in the body, despite being present in small amounts.

    • According to quantum mechanics, electrons in atoms have specific energies and are organized into shells and subshells.

    • Shells and subshells have labels like s, p, d, and f, and each subshell holds a specific maximum number of electrons.

    • The first shell has only an s subshell, the second shell has an s and p subshells, and the third shell has s, p, and d subshells.

    • The modern theory of electron behavior is called quantum mechanics, which states electrons have quantized energies and are organized into sets called shells.

    • The higher the energy of a shell, the farther it is from the nucleus on average, and each shell is further divided into subshells.

    • Different subshells hold a different maximum number of electrons, with any s subshell holding up to 2 electrons, p holding 6, d holding 10, and f holding 14.

    • The text discusses various elements and their roles in the body, as well as atomic orbitals and their energies.

    • Different subshells hold a different maximum number of electrons, with any s subshell holding up to 2 electrons, p holding 6, d holding 10, and f holding 14.

    • The periodic table is used to predict the properties of elements based on their location.

    • Elements are grouped into columns called groups, each with unique properties.

    • Alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) are highly reactive and form common compounds, some of which are abundant in nature.

    • Alkaline earth metals (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium) are less common but important in various industries, and calcium and magnesium are the fifth and sixth most abundant elements on Earth.

    • The halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine) are highly reactive and form compounds with metals, such as table salt. Fluorine is used in toothpaste and Teflon.

    • The noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are unreactive monatomic gases, with helium being the second most abundant element in the universe.

    • Periods on the periodic table vary in length, with some being very long and requiring a separate section.

    • Elements can be classified as metals, nonmetals, or semimetals, with metals being shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, and malleable/ductile, while nonmetals are poor conductors, dull, and brittle.

    • The main group elements consist of the first two columns and the last six columns on the right, while the transition metals occupy the ten-column block between them. The inner transition metals (lanthanide and actinide metals) are in the two rows beneath the main body of the table.

    • The text provides links to several educational videos on the periodic table and its elements.

    • The text discusses various elements and their roles in the body, as well as atomic orbitals and their energies.

    • The human body is mainly composed of main group elements, but first transition metal to appear is iron (0.006%).
