    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • An atom is the smallest particle of matter involved in a chemical reaction.
    • Many elements are monatomic; others (like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and halogens) are diatomic.
    • Some elements (phosphorus and sulfur) are polyatomic.

    Subatomic Particles

    • Electrons: Discovered by J.J. Thomson, they carry a negative charge and have a tiny mass (approximately 1/1837 the mass of a hydrogen atom).
    • Protons: Discovered by Goldstein, they carry a positive charge and have a mass roughly equal to that of a hydrogen atom.
    • Neutrons: Discovered by James Chadwick, they carry no charge and have a mass nearly equal to that of a proton.

    Atomic Representation

    • A = Mass number (sum of protons and neutrons)
    • Z = Atomic number (number of protons)
    • X = Chemical symbol of the element

    Atomic Number and Mass Number

    • Atomic number (Z): Indicates the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. For a neutral atom, it's also equal to the number of electrons.
    • Mass number (A): The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

    Isotopes

    • Isotopes: Atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number (Z) but different mass numbers (A).
    • Isotopes have the same chemical properties but different physical properties.

    Isobars

    • Isobars: Atoms of different elements that have the same mass number (A) but different atomic numbers (Z).

    Bohr's Atomic Model

    • Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific, stable energy levels (orbits).
    • Electrons can only exist in these specific orbits; they cannot exist between them, and their angular momentum is a multiple of h/2π.
    • Energy levels are quantized; electrons can only absorb or emit energy in discrete packets (quanta).
    • An electron can transition from one level to another by absorbing or emitting a photon of light with energy equal to the difference in energy levels.

    Quantum Mechanical Model

    • Describes the electron as both a particle and a wave.
    • Electrons do not follow precise orbits; instead, they occupy regions of space called orbitals where the probability of finding an electron is high.
    • The location of an electron is described in terms of its probability density.
    • The positions and momentum of an electron cannot be simultaneously known with perfect precision (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle).

    Quantum Numbers

    • Principal quantum number (n): Describes the energy level and size of the electron's orbital. (n=1, 2, 3...)
    • Azimuthal quantum number (l): Describes the shape of the electron's orbital and the sublevel. (l=0, 1, 2, ... n-1).
    • Magnetic quantum number (ml): Describes the orientation of the electron's orbital in space. (ml= -l, -l+1, ..., 0, ..., l-1, l)
    • Spin quantum number (ms): Describes the intrinsic angular momentum or spin of the electron. (ms = +1/2, -1/2)

    Electron Configuration

    • Aufbau Principle: Electrons first occupy the lowest energy levels, then fill higher levels.
    • Hund's Rule: Electrons fill orbitals individually before pairing up in a given sublevel.
    • Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

    Electromagnetic Spectrum

    • The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They are characterized based on their frequency and wavelength.
