    1. Yes: Pure substances; Can it be decomposed by ordinary chemical means
      1. Yes: Compounds (water, NaCl, sucrose)
      2. No: Elements (H, He, Li)
    2. No: Mixtures; Is the composition uniform?
      1. Yes: Homogenous mixtures (air, sugar in water, stainless steel)
      2. No: Heterogenous mixtures (granite, wood, blood)
  2. Solute: dissolved substance in a solution
  3. Solvent: dissolving medium in a solution
  4. Best dissolution:
    1. Nonpolar solutes dissolve best in nonpolar solvents (fats, steroids, waxes, benzene, hexane, toulene)
    2. Polar and ionic solutes dissolve best in polar solvents (inorganic salts, sugars, water, small alcohols, acetic acid)
  5. Factors affecting solubility:
    1. Solids:
      1. Increases with temperature (generally)
      2. Increases with increasing surface area of the solid (generally)
      3. Increases with stirring
    2. Gases:
      1. Decreases with increases in temperature (generally)
      2. Increases with pressure above the solution (generally)
  6. Saturation:
    1. A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that may be dissolved under existing conditions is saturated.
    2. A solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under existing conditions is unsaturated.
    3. A solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution under the same conditions is supersaturated.
  7. Electrolytes:
    1. Electrolyte: A substance whose aqueous solution conducts an electric current.
    2. Nonelectrolyte: A substance whose aqueous solution does not conduct an electric current.
    3. Can be tested by running current through solution and ammeter; no current means nonelectrolyte
  8. Ionization:
    1. Ionic compounds disassociate (eg NaCl(s) = Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq))
      1. Ions prefer positioning to conduct a current rather than forming a solid.
      2. Polar water molecule pulls positive ions to the negative end (oxygen) and negative ions to the positive end (hydrogen).
    2. Some covalent compounds ionized: hydrogen chloride molecules, which are polar, give up their hydrogens to water, forming chloride ions (Cl-) and hydronium ions (H3O+).
    3. Acids:
      1. Strong acids are totally ionized
      2. Weak acids (often containing carboxyl group) rarely (5%) ionized

Solution concentration

[edit | edit source]
  1. Mole fraction – the ratio of moles of solute to total moles of solution
    1. Mole fraction of A = xA = nA / (nA + nB)
  2. Molarity is the ratio of moles of solute to liters of solution
    1. Molarity = M = moles of solute / Liters of solution

Add up each element's atomic weight, multiplied by the number of times the element appears.

eg: Calculate the formula mass of sodium chloride.

  1. sodium chloride = NaCl
  2. Sodium atomic weight: 22.99 g Na * 1
  3. Chloride atomic weight: 35.45 g Cl * 1
  4. Sodium chloride formula mass: 22.99 g Na + 35.45 g Cl = 58.44 g NaCl

Divide each element mass in the formula by total mass and multiply by 100% to find percent composition. Add all percentages to check correctness; should equal approximately 100%.

eg: Calculate the percentage composition of sodium chloride.

  1. Sodium percentage composition: (22.99 g Na / 58.44 g NaCl) * 100% = 39.34%
  2. Chloride percentage composition: (35.45 g Cl / 58.44 g NaCl) * 100% = 60.66%
  3. Total: 39.34% + 60.66% = 100% (+/- a tiny bit is fine)

To determine empirical formula:

  1. Assume 100g of compound.
  2. Determine moles of each element per 100g.
  3. Divide each molesofelement by the smallest molesofelement.
  4. If fractional, multiply by reciprocal of smallest fraction until all are whole numbers.

Shroedinger equation for multiple electrons

[edit | edit source]

Base: ĤΨ = EΨ

  1. H (1 electron): ĤΨ(r1θ1φ1) = EΨ(r1θ1φ1)
  2. He (2 electrons): ĤΨ(r1θ1φ1r2θ2φ2) = EΨ(r1θ1φ1r2θ2φ2)
  3. Li (3 electrons): ĤΨ(r1θ1φ1r2θ2φ2r3θ3φ3) = EΨ(r1θ1φ1r2θ2φ2r3θ3φ3)
  4. At high enough levels, it is mathematically impossible to solve the Shroedinger equation; instead, an approximation is used.

Approximation: Treat the wavefunction of the many orbitals as the product of a one electron approximation for each.

  1. He (2 electrons):

Multi-electron vs hydrogen atom wavefunctions

[edit | edit source]

Argon: 1s22s22p63s23p6

  1. Similarities:
    1. Similar in shape
    2. Identical Radial Probability Distribution and nodes
  2. Differences:
    1. Each multi-electron orbital is smaller than the corresponding hydrogen atom orbital, because the nucleus is more positively charged.
    2. Orbital energy depends on both the shell (n) and the subshell (l) or angular momentum quantum number.
    3. Binding orbital energy in multi-electron atoms is lower (more negative) than in corresponding H-atom orbitals.
    4. In hydrogen, all orbitals for a given n have same energy level; in a multi-electron atom, orbitals increase in energy for both n and l
      1. For 1-electron: En = -IEn = -Z2RH/n2
      2. For multi-electron: En = -IEn = -(Znleff)2RH/n2
      3. Z != Zeffective
  3. Shielding and binding energy:
    1. Scenario: Helium (He) nucleus has 2 protons (z = 2). Electron 1 is very close to nucleus. Electron 2 is far enough out that it doesn't affect electron 1. Electron 1 is thus "no shielded" and electron 2 is "totally shielded".
    2. EHe = -IEHe = -(Zeff)2RH/n2 = -(+2)2RH/12 = 8.72 x 10-18 J, Zeff = 1
    3. EHe = -IEHe = -(Zeff)2RH/n2 = -(+1)2RH/12 = 2.18 x 10-18 J, Zeff = 2
    4. Reality: IEHe = 3.94 x 10-18 J
  4. Finding Zeff:
    1. Zeff = [n2(IE/RH)]1/2
    2. He: [12(3.94 x 10-18 J/2.18 x 10-18 J)]1/2 = 1.34
  5. Shielding
    1. S is less shielded than P, because over RPD, average Zeff of 2p is less than Zeff of 2s (etc.)
    2. RPD of orbitals

Photoelectric spectroscopy (PES)

[edit | edit source]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

  1. X-rays are commonly used because they have sufficient energy; UV rays may be, but are sometimes insufficient.
  2. Neon:
    1. 1s22s22p6 -> 1s22s22p5 + e- with most KE
    2. 1s22s22p6 -> 1s22s12p6 + e- with middle KE
    3. 1s22s22p6 -> 1s12s22p6 + e- with least KE
  3. IE = Ei + KE
    1. IE = Ionization energy
    2. Ei = Energy of photon
    3. KE = Kinetic energy of electron
  4. Neon IE (with Ei = 1254)
    1. 1s22s22p6 ; KE = 1232 eV ; IE2p = 22 eV (1254 - 1232)
    2. 1s22s22p6 ; KE = 1206 eV ; IE2p = 48 eV (1254 - 1206)
    3. 1s22s22p6 ; KE = 384 eV ; IE2p = 870 eV (1254 - 384)
    4. Each would be represented as a bar with x = KE in order 1s, 2s, 2p
  5. Practice: If PES produces 5 lines, which elements could it be?
    1. 5 lines, 5 orbitals: 1s2s2p3s3p: Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar
  6. Practice: PES would reveal how many lines in hafnium (z = 72)?
    1. 1s2s2p3s3p3d4s4p4d4f5s5p5d6s (or 1s2s2p3s3p4s3d4p5s4d5p6s4f5d)

Ionization energy

[edit | edit source]
  1. First (smallest) ionization energy
    1. Implied whenever "ionization energy" is stated
    2. IE = -Enl
    3. Boron:
      1. B(1s22s22p1) -> B+(1s22s2) + e-
      2. ΔE = Ep - Er = IE = -E2p
  2. Second ionization energy
    1. FILLER
    2. Boron:
      1. B+(1s22s2) -> B2+(1s22s1) + 2e-
      2. ΔE = IE2 = -E2s in B+
  3. Third ionization energy
    1. FILLER
    2. Boron:
      1. B2+(1s22s1) -> B3+(1s2) + 3e-
      2. ΔE = IE3 = -E2s in B+
  4. Periodic table:
    1. [22], [23]
    2. Moving right in a row, Z (charge) while n (shell) remains constant; thus, Zeff (effective charge) increases, so IE increases
    3. Moving down in column, Z (charge) and n (shell) increases; increasing n overpowers increasing Z, so Zeff decreases and IE decreases
    4. Exceptions in Lithium - Neon row: http://staff.norman.k12.ok.us/~cyohn/index_files/ionizationenergynotes_files/image001.gif
      1. Beryllium (1s22s2 to Boron 1s22s22p1: Energy required to add new orbital is greater than the increased distance from the nucleus
      2. Nitrogen (1s22s22p3 to Boron 1s22s22p4: Oxygen has 4 electrons in a 6 electron-orbital (3 subshells of 2 each) which forces 2 electrons to pair up
  • Which element has smaller IE (and why): Al or P?
  1. Al (lower Zeff)
  2. P (lower Zeff)
  3. Al (higher Zeff)
  4. P (higher Zeff)

Electron affinity

[edit | edit source]
  1. Electron affinity (EA or Eea) = -ΔE
  2. Chlorine:
    1. Cl + e- -> Cl- ; ΔE = -349 kJ/mol ; EA = 349 kJ/mol
    2. Energy is released, so negative ion is more stable than atom.
  3. Nitrogen:
    1. N + e- -> N- ; ΔE = +7 kJ/mol ; EA = -7 kJ/mol
    2. Energy is added, so atom is more stable than negative ion.
  4. Periodic table:
    1. Moving right in a row, EA increases.
    2. Moving down in a column, EA decreases.

Electronegativity

[edit | edit source]
  1. Electronegativity (χ) is proportional to (0.5)(EA + IE)
  2. Periodic table:
    1. Upper right: high χ (electron expector)
    2. Bottom left: low χ (electron donor)

Atomic radius

[edit | edit source]
  1. Atomic radius: value of r which encompasses 90% of electron density
  2. Atomic radius: value of r which is 0.5 of distance between two atoms in a compound
  3. Both are very similar values
  4. Periodic table:
    1. Moving right in a row, r decreases (because ZEff decreases).
    2. Moving down in a column, r increases (because new orbitals are larger).
  5. Ions:
    1. F- is larger than F (more shielding, less ZEff))
    2. Na+ is smaller than Na (less shielding, more ZEff))

Isoelectronic

[edit | edit source]
  1. Neon: 1s22s22p6
  2. Flourine:

  3. Sodium:
    1. Na: 1s22s22p63s1
    2. Na+: 1s22s22p6
  4. Which atom is isoelectronic with Krypton (Z=36)? Selenium2- (Z=34).

Covalent bonds

[edit | edit source]
  1. Chemical bonds: rearrangement of the nuclei and electrons of the bonded atoms results in a lower energy than separate atoms.
  2. Covalent bond: a pair of electrons shared between 2 atoms.
  3. Terms:
    1. Internuclear distance: r
    2. Energy: E = nuclear-nuclear repulsion + electron-nuclear attraction + electron-electron repulsion
    3. Disassociation energy: ΔEd = energy necessary to break covalent bond = bond strength = distance from EH + H to EH2
    4. Energy vs interatomic distance [24][25]
  4. Example with H:
    1. H+ + e- = 0 kJ/mol
    2. 2H (unbonded): E = 2 * -1312 kJ/mol = -2624 kJ/mol
    3. H2 (bonded): E = -3048 kJ/mol
    4. H2 is lower energy, so 2H bonds
    5. ΔEd = -2624 kJ/mol - (-3048 kJ/mol) = 424 kJ/mol
  5. N2 vs H2: N2 is stronger bond, because its ΔEd is lower than H2's, which means that the bond is more stable.
