    Study Notes

    Periodic Table of Elements

    • Arranged by atomic number in rows and groups sharing similar properties.
    • Dmitri Mendeleev created the first periodic table based on atomic mass.
    • Henry Moseley reorganized the periodic table based on atomic number, improving the accuracy.

    Quantum Mechanical Model

    • Principal quantum number (n): Indicates energy levels of electrons (n = 1, 2, 3,...).
    • Angular momentum quantum number (l): Defines orbital shape (l can be 0 to n-1).
    • Magnetic quantum number (ml): Specifies orbital orientation (ml ranges from -l to +l).
    • Spin quantum number (ms): Describes the electron's spin direction (ms = +1/2 or -1/2).

    Electronic Configuration

    • Represents the distribution of electrons in atomic orbitals.
    • Example for Cerium: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ 6s² 4f².
    • Key energy and orbital counts for Cerium:
      • Energy levels = 6
      • Orbitals in n=4 = 9
      • Electrons in 4s² = 2
      • Electrons in n=4 = 18.

    Quantum Numbers in Practice

    • Understanding values for l and ml when n=5: l can range from 0 to 4; corresponding ml values need to be calculated.
    • Rules of electron arrangement: No two electrons can have identical quantum numbers (Pauli’s Exclusion Principle), and orbitals in the same subshell are singly occupied before sharing (Hund’s Rule).

    Chemical Compounds and Naming

    • Lewis structure: Simplified depiction of valence electrons; aims for optimal electron configuration satisfying the octet rule.
    • Valence electrons (VE) can be determined from group number or electronic configuration.
    • Cations: Named directly from element with the addition of “ion.”
    • Anions: Named by altering the element’s name to end in “ide.”

    Ionic and Covalent Compounds

    • Ionic compounds derive names from elements, with “ide” suffix for non-metals.
    • Covalent compounds utilize Greek prefixes to indicate the number of each element (e.g., CO - carbon monoxide).
    • Ternary compounds involve metals with radicals, named after cations and radicals.

    Acid and Base Naming

    • Acids: Represented as H+ combined with a radical; naming depends on the radical ending (-ate becomes -ic, -ite becomes -ous).
    • Bases: Composed of a metal ion and hydroxide (OH-), named by the metal followed by "hydroxide."

    Example Chemical Formulas

    • NaCl: Sodium chloride; H₂O: Water; HCl: Hydrochloric acid; MgCl₂: Magnesium chloride.
    • Ionic formula example: KNO₃ includes K+ and NO₃−, listed as potassium nitrate.

    Miscellaneous Quantum Relationships

    • Number of electrons in n=9 = 162; number of orbitals in n=9 = 81; number of orbits = 9.
    • Magnetic Quantum Number specifies spatial orientation of orbitals defined by energy and shape.
    • Electronic configuration of Nickel: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁸.

    Important Concepts to Remember

    • No two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers (Pauli's Exclusion Principle).
    • Effective electron configuration confirms correct arrangements based on energy levels and orbitals available.
