Study Notes
Electron Configuration and Principles
- The Aufbau Principle dictates that electrons occupy energy levels starting from the lowest energy level to higher levels.
- The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no more than 2 electrons can occupy the same orbital, and they must have opposite spins.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds involve the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
- Covalent bonds involve sharing electrons between two non-metals to achieve stability.
Periodic Table Organization
- Elements in the Periodic Table are arranged based on their similarity in chemical properties, following trends across periods and groups.
Valence Electrons and Lewis Dot Structures
- In Lewis dot structures, the number of valence electrons determines the number of dots representing the electrons around an element's symbol.
Atomic Stability and Ionization
- Ionization energy represents the ability to remove electrons from a neutral gaseous atom to attain stability.
Allotropes and Element Symbols
- Elements that can exist in two or more different forms are referred to as allotropes.
- The system for naming chemical symbols based on Latin names or initials was proposed by J.J. Berzelius.
Theoretical Concepts in Chemistry
- Silicon has a theoretical ability to form four covalent bonds due to its four valence electrons.
Historical Figures in Atomic Theory
- John Dalton is credited with formulating Dalton's Atomic Theory.
- Ernest Rutherford conducted the Gold Foil Experiment, which led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.
- Niels Bohr is associated with the development of the Bohr model, which describes electrons in fixed paths or orbits.
Quantum Mechanics and Electron Behavior
- The Principal Quantum Number indicates the energy level or distance of an electron from the nucleus.
- The s orbital has a sharp spherical shape, representing the simplest type of orbital.
- The Magnetic Quantum Number indicates the specific orientation of an electron's orbital in space.
- The Spin Quantum Number indicates the direction of an electron's spin, either up or down.
Electron Configuration Notation
- In electron configuration, 's=2' signifies that the s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
