    Study Notes

    Ions & Isotopes

    • Atomic mass is typically not an even number due to the presence of isotopes.
    • Carbon has isotopes C-12 (most abundant), C-13, and C-14, resulting in an average atomic mass of 12.011.
    • Radioisotopes have unstable nuclei that emit energy and particles to stabilize themselves.
    • Radioactive decay involves the gradual loss of neutrons from unstable isotopes, turning C-14 into stable C-12.
    • The decay of isotopes occurs at predictable rates, with half-lives varying from days (P-32) to thousands of years (C-14).

    Energy Levels of Electrons

    • Electrons have energy levels that determine their stability in orbit around the nucleus.
    • Electrons possess kinetic energy from motion and potential energy based on their distance from the nucleus.
    • Electrons can only occupy specific orbits corresponding to allowed energy levels and transition between them by gaining or losing energy.

    Electron Orbitals

    • Electrons reside in orbitals or clouds surrounding the nucleus, organized into shells.
    • The 1s orbital closest to the nucleus holds 2 electrons, followed by the 2s orbital, and then the 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) which accommodate a total of 6 electrons.
    • Higher atomic numbers provide more shells and electrons, with the next levels including 3s and 3p orbitals.

    Electron Shells and Orbitals

    • Most stable electronic configuration for atoms occurs with 8 electrons in the outermost shell (Octet Rule), except for the first shell, which is stable with 2 electrons.
    • Example: Sodium (Na) has 11 protons and neutrons totaling 12, distributed as follows: 2 electrons in 1s, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p, and 1 in 3s orbital.

    Chemical Bonds

    • Atoms with full outer electron shells are inert, while those with partially full shells are reactive.
    • Types of chemical bonds include intramolecular (covalent and ionic) and intermolecular (hydrogen bonds).

    Ionic vs Covalent vs Hydrogen Bonds

    • Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular, involving electron exchange or sharing, while hydrogen bonds occur between separate molecules.
    • Covalent bonds, formed by sharing electrons, are strong and typically occur between atoms with similar electronegativity.
    • Electronegativity increases across periods and decreases down groups in the periodic table.

    Covalent Bonds

    • Atoms aim to fill their electron shells; noble gases are stable due to full electron shells.
    • Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
    • True covalent bonds form between atoms with identical electronegativity, whereas polar covalent bonds occur when atoms differ slightly in electronegativity.

    Ionic Bonds

    • Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions and are typically stronger than hydrogen bonds.
    • Commonly formed between metals and non-metals (e.g., sodium and chlorine forming sodium chloride).
    • Ionic compounds are soluble in water and conduct electricity in solution.

    Hydrogen Bonds

    • Polar molecules exhibit partial charges; in water, oxygen has a partial negative charge, and hydrogens a partial positive charge.
    • Hydrogen bonds form between molecules like water, ammonia, and alcohols, allowing stability in biological structures.
    • Multiple hydrogen bonds create stability in DNA structures, protein secondary structures, and enzyme-substrate interactions.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the formation of bonds between atoms producing compounds.
    • Reactants undergo transformation into products, represented in a chemical equation.
    • Balanced chemical equations maintain equal counts of each atom on both sides, adhering to the conservation of mass principle.

    Upcoming Topic

    • The next lecture will cover the structure and properties of water.
