    Study Notes

    • The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and properties.
    • Elements in the same group (vertical column) have similar chemical properties due to similar valence electron configurations.
    • Elements in the same period (horizontal row) show gradual changes in properties across the period.
    • Atomic radius generally decreases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge and increasing effective nuclear charge.
    • Atomic radius generally increases down a group due to increasing electron shells.
    • Ionization energy generally increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge and increasing effective nuclear charge.
    • Ionization energy generally decreases down a group due to increasing atomic radius and shielding effect.
    • Electronegativity generally increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge and increasing effective nuclear charge.
    • Electronegativity generally decreases down a group due to increasing atomic radius.
    • Metallic character generally decreases across a period and increases down a group.
    • The periodic table is divided into blocks based on the electronic configuration of the valence electrons.
    • These blocks have different chemical and physical properties.
    • The periodic table also displays trends in melting points, boiling points and other properties.
    • Elements in the same group have similar reactivity.
    • Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove an electron.
    • Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

    Electron Configuration

    • Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom's energy levels and orbitals.
    • Electrons fill orbitals in increasing energy order, following Hund's rule and the Pauli exclusion principle.
    • The Aufbau principle states that electrons first fill lower energy levels before filling higher ones.
    • Valence electrons are the outermost electrons and determine the chemical properties of an element.
    • Core electrons are inner electrons not involved with chemical bonding.
    • Different notations exist to represent electron configuration (e.g., spdf notation, noble gas notation).
    • Electron configuration influences the reactivity of an element.
    • Electron spin is an intrinsic property of electrons.
    • Electron configurations explain the placement of elements on the periodic table.
    • The number of electrons in orbitals is constrained by the exclusion principle
    • The behavior of electrons in an atom is explained by quantum mechanics.

    Properties of Matter

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
    • Matter exists in three fundamental states: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Solids have a definite shape and volume.
    • Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
    • Gases have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
    • Physical properties of matter include color, density, melting point, boiling point, conductivity, and viscosity.
    • Chemical properties describe how matter reacts with other substances.
    • Physical changes do not alter the chemical composition of a substance.
    • Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances.
    • Substances have unique sets of physical and chemical properties that define them.
    • The properties of matter are affected by various factors, including temperature, pressure, and other external conditions like electromagnetic radiation and magnetic fields.
    • The state of matter is affected by temperature.

    State Changes

    • Matter can transition between different states (solid, liquid, gas) through phase transitions.
    • Melting is the transition from solid to liquid.
    • Freezing is the transition from liquid to solid.
    • Vaporization (boiling) is the transition from liquid to gas.
    • Condensation is the transition from gas to liquid.
    • Sublimation is the transition from solid to gas.
    • Deposition is the transition from gas to solid.
    • State changes are influenced by temperature and pressure.
    • Phase diagrams are used to visualize the conditions under which different phases of a substance are stable.
    • The rate of state changes is temperature dependent.
    • Changes in state involve changes in potential energy and intermolecular forces.

    Energy

    • Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change.
    • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
    • Potential energy is stored energy.
    • Forms of energy include mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical, nuclear, and radiant energy.
    • Energy is conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
    • Units of energy include Joules (J) and Calories (cal).
    • The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another.
    • Energy is fundamental to all processes in the universe.
    • Energy can be transferred through various mechanisms, including heat and work.
    • The change in thermal energy of a substance is related to the amount of heat added or removed and the mass of the substance.
    • Thermodynamics describes the relationship between heat, work, and energy.
    • Different forms of energy can be converted into each other with varying degrees of efficiency.
    • Energy exchanges between systems and the surrounding environment can be either exothermic (releasing energy) or endothermic (absorbing energy).
    • Energy is required for phase changes.
    • The amount of energy needed for a phase change depends on the substance and the type of phase change.
