Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Properties
- Atoms are the smallest parts of an element that retain its properties
- Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons
- Protons are positively charged and found in the nucleus
- Neutrons have no charge and are found in the nucleus
- Electrons are negatively charged and found outside the nucleus
History of Atomic Models
- Solid Sphere Model (Dalton, 1803): Atoms are indivisible and identical for a given element
- Plum Pudding Model (Thomson, 1904): Electrons are embedded in a sphere of positive charge
- Nuclear Model (Rutherford, 1911): The atom is mostly empty space, with a dense, positively charged nucleus
- Planetary Model (Bohr, 1913): Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels. Electrons can only exist at specific energy levels
- Quantum Mechanical Model (Schrödinger, 1926): Electrons exist in orbitals where their exact location is uncertain, described by probability functions
Subatomic Particles
- Protons: Positive charge, mass of 1 amu
- Neutrons: No charge, mass of 1 amu
- Electrons: Negative charge, extremely small mass (1/1836 amu)
Atomic Number and Mass Number
- Atomic Number (Z): Number of protons in an atom
- Mass Number (A): Sum of protons and neutrons in an atom
Isotopes
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
- The atomic number is the same, but the mass number is different
- Most elements exist as a mixture of isotopes -The periodic table's atomic weight is an average of the masses of its isotopes
Ions
- Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons
- Cations: Positively charged ions (formed by loss of electrons)
- Anions: Negatively charged ions (formed by gain of electrons)
Electronic Configurations
- Aufbau's principle: Electrons fill the lowest energy levels first
- Pauli exclusion principle: Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins
- Hund's rule: Electrons fill orbitals singly before pairing up
Electronic Configuration of Carbon
- Carbon is in the 2nd period and Group 4
- Ground state electronic configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p2
Noble Gas Configurations
- Noble gases have a full valence shell (8 electrons, except for Helium which has 2)
- They are used to abbreviate the electronic configuration of other elements
Orbital Diagrams
- Visual representation of electron distribution in orbitals and subshells
- Obey Pauli's exclusion principle (no two electrons can have the same quantum numbers) and Hund's rule (fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing electrons)
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Ionic Bonds: Form between a metal and a nonmetal, involving the transfer of electrons to form ions with opposite charges
- Covalent Bonds: Form between nonmetals, involving the sharing of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (octet)
Polar Covalent Bonds
- Occur when two nonmetals share electrons unequally, due to a difference in electronegativity
- The more electronegative atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly leading to a slightly positive and slightly negative end
Non-polar Covalent Bonds
- Occur when two nonmetals share electrons almost equally due to little or no electronegativity difference
Periodic Properties
- Atomic Radius: Decreases across periods, increases down groups
- Metallic character: Increases down groups and left to right across the periods
- Electronegativity: Increases across periods and decreases down groups
- Ionization energy: Increases across periods and decreases down groups
- Reactivity: Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons
Octet Rule
- Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell with 8 electrons (octet), except for hydrogen and helium
- Noble gases have a full octet
