Atom: Smallest part of any element, which can take part in a chemical reaction • Element: Pure substance consisting of one type of atom only • Compound: Substance consisting of two or more elements (e.g. H2O) • Mixture: Consists of two or more substances but they are not joined together chemically (e.g. sand and iron filings)
Molecule: Smallest part of a substance which can exist on its own (e.g. Cu, H2, H2O) • There are monatomic, diatomic or triatomic molecules
The Bohr Model Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom Electrons orbit the nucleus in ‘shells’ or ‘energy levels’
1st energy level can hold 2 electrons 2nd energy level can hold 8 electrons 3rd energy level can hold 18 electrons
7 3 3P 4N E.g. Lithium Li
23 11 11P 12N E.g. sodium Na
Isotopes: Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons (e.g. carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14)
Isotopes: Atoms having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons (e.g. carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14) • Atomic Number (Z): The number of protons in an atom • Mass Number (A): The number of protons and neutrons in an atom • Relative atomic mass: The mass of an atom compared to of the mass of an atom of carbon
An energy level is a specific level of energy which an electron has in an atom
The emission spectrum is the series of lines which are given out by excited atoms of an element
E2 Higher energy level Photon of light emitted Lower energy level E1
E2 – E1 = hf E2 = energy of electron in higher energy level E1 = energy of electron in lower energy level h = Planck’s constant f = frequency of light emitted
The ground state is the energy level of the electron before it gains energy The excited state is the energy level of the electron after it gains energy
The Aufbau Principal • Electrons always fill the lowest energy level available when the atom is in the ground state • Remember that lower energy levels are nearer the nucleus, and higher energy levels are further away from the nucleus
2 8 18 • 1st shell (n =1) holds up to electrons • 2nd shell (n=2) holds up electrons • 3rd shell (n=3) holds up to electrons • 4th shell (n=4) holds up to electrons • Each of these main energy levels (shells) contains “sub-levels” 32
Consider it like 5th year is split into 3 classes; so an energy level is split into ‘sub-energy levels’
4f 4d N=4 4p s holds 2 p holds 6 d holds 10 f holds 14 4s 3d N=3 3p 3s 2p N=2 2s N=1 1s
They are filled in this order 4f 4d 4p 3d 3d “jumps” up! 4s 3p 3s 2p 2s 1s

1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 4s1, 3d5 3d4
1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 4s1, 3d10 3d9
Atomic Orbitals • An atomic orbital is the region around a nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron
Main energy level Atomic orbitals Sub-level s s px py pz
s s px py pz
s s px py pz s px py pz
s sub-level has 1 orbital • spherical in shape
p sub-level has 3 orbitals • dumb bell shape px py pz
Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity • When two or more orbitals of equal energy are available to electrons the electrons occupy them singly, before filling them in pairs Sometimes called the“Bus Seat Rule”
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle • No more than two electrons can occupy an orbital, and they can only do this if they have opposite spin
Example • Oxygen • O
Quantum Numbers • A code consisting of 4 numbers, which give the full information about any one electron in an atom
Question • Give the 4 quantum numbers for each of the electrons in the Berylium atom
electronic configuration: 1s2 2s2 1st electron: 1, 0, 0, ½ 2nd electron: 1, 0, 0, -½ 3rd electron: 2, 0, 0, ½ 4th electron: 2, 0, 0, -½
The Periodic Table • Groups go from top to bottom • Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, and so have similar chemical properties • NB: Group 1 (Alkali metals) • Group 2 (Alkaline earth metals) • Group 7 (Halogens) • Group 8 (Noble gases)
Periods go from left to right • Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells occupied
A group is a vertical column in the Periodic Table A period is a horizontal row in the Periodic Table
