Study Notes

Matter and Atomic Structure

  • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
  • Matter is composed of elementary particles known as quarks and leptons, including electrons.
  • Quarks combine into protons and neutrons, and along with electrons, form atoms of the elements of the periodic table.
  • Atoms may combine further into molecules, such as the water molecule (H₂O).

Electron Energy Levels

  • Electrons jump from one energy level to the other, moving from a ground state to an excited state.
  • The principle of quantization of angular momentum states that an electron can move only in an orbit where its angular momentum around the nucleus is an integral multiple of h/2π.

Isotopes

  • Isotopes are elements with the same atomic number (number of protons) but differing mass numbers (number of neutrons).
  • The atomic number of all carbon isotopes is 6.
  • Examples of carbon isotopes include C12, C13, and C14.

Isobars

  • Isobars are elements with the same mass number but different atomic numbers.
  • Isobars have the same number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) but differ in their proton number.
  • Example: Xe131m and Xe54m are isobars.

Isotones

  • Isotones are nuclides with the same neutron number (N) but different proton numbers (Z).

Energy and Einstein's Formula

  • The energy of an object can be measured using Einstein's formula: E = MC2.
  • This formula describes the relationship between energy (E) and mass (m) and the speed of light (c).
