FOREWORD/DISCLAIMER

First and formost, I am going to say what everone has on their minds. No you really should not just forget
about taking notes anymore in AP Chemistry class because of this packet. This packet is meant to be a
review and should be used as such. However that does not mean you can use this packet as your main
notes and write notes in the margins to supplement your learning. Please take into account that this entire
thing was written over the course of 4 days. As such it is inevitable that I made mistakes in spelling and/or
formulas.
If you have any questions/comments/fixes to the text you can email me at [email protected]
Good Luck

Bohr Model

Neils Bohr:
1. Only orbits of certain radii, corresponding to certain definate energies are permitted for the electron in
a hydrogen atom.
2. An electron in a permitted orbit has a specific energy and is in an allowed energy state. An electron in
an allowed state will not radiate energy and therefore will not spiral into the nucleus.
3. Energy is emmitted or absorbed by the e only as the e changes from one allowed energy state to
another.
4. Flawed theory because it only works for hydrogen

Nuclear Stability

Understanding why are some nuclides are radioactive while others are not.
15.4.1

Forces Invloved

Electrostatic
. Try to rip apart the nucleus because of like charges
Strong Nuclear
. Try to pull together the nucleus because subatomic particles naturally stick together
The Glue
. Neutrons act as the glue and more of it is required when the electrostatic force gets really strong
15.4.2

Belt of Stability

Area A
. More neutrons than protons - Beta decay creates protons
Area B
. Less neutrons than protons - Positron emission (Smaller B) or Electron Capture (Larger B)
Area C
. Every element above 83 p+ is radioactive and no glue can hold it together - Alpha decay

Chemical Bonds

When 2 or more atoms are strongly attached (attracted) to each other.

18.1

Intramolecular

These forces act inside an atom or molecule:

17

18.1.1

Ionic Bonding

Gain/lose e s (strong metal + strong nonmetal)

18.1.2

Covalent Bonding

Share e s (weak metal or nonmetal + nonmetal)

18.1.3

Metallic Bonding

There are two models that explain metallic bonding:

Electron Sea Model

. Metal atoms are floating in a sea of e s. No one e belongs to any particular atom.
Orbital Bonding Model
. The valence e s are overlapped and shared so much you have bonds of delocalized e s that are
free to move but are still holding the atoms together.
Properties that result from metallic bonding include:
Conductivity of electricity and heat
Malibility and ductility
Ability to form alloys

18.2

Intermolecular

These forces act between molecules:

18.2.1

Ion-Dipole

Ions bonding to molecules with a dipole (polver solvent). The strongest intermolecular force.
18.2.2

Dipole-Dipole

Polar near another polar. Weaker than Ion-Dipole but still strong, based on how strong the
polarity is.
18.2.3

Hydrogen Bond

Either (H N ), (H O), or (H F ). No shielding e s on Hydrogen so central atoms e pair gets full pull
of Hydrogen nucleus.
18.2.4

London Dispersion/Van der Waals

An induced dipole between 2 polar molecules. An increase in pressure or decrease in temperature will cause
one side to have a more positive force as the majority of e s move to other side.
1 Of

the two theories, this is generally the more accepted one

18

18.2.5

Intermolecular Flowchart

Rule of Octet

Atoms tend to bond in such a way as to gain, lose, or share e s in order to gain a complete valence (outer s
and p).

Lewis Structures for Molecular Structures (Covalent)

1. Add valence e s from all the atoms.

2. Write the symbols for the atoms. If there are more than 2 atoms, identify the central atom. Connect
them with a single line which represents 2 shared e s. Subtract the number of e s from total found in
step 1.
. Central atom will be closest to Si, P or Metaloid staircase.
3. Complete octets around the atoms bonded to the central atom (Hydrogen does not get more than 2).
4. Place the remaining pairs around the central atom even if doing so gives more than an octet to the
central atom.
5. If there are not enough pairs to complete an octet in the central atom, then you ned to try using double
or triple bonds.

Polarity in regards to organic chemistry relies on an element disrupting the symmetry of a molecule. For
example the double bonded oxygen in Acetone allows it to be more polar than Propane.

Alkane Branch Structure Naming

To name all single-bonded Carbon chains, see subsection on Alkanes above.

To name a branch structure first look for the longest unbroken Carbon chain, this is the root name. Then
take the root prefix of the alkyl (the branch of the root chain) and add -yl (for instance Methane becomes
methyl). Number the Carbon chain giving the side with an alkyl the lowest number. The end result should
be something such as 2 Methyl Butane.
2 Methyl Butane

Alkene Naming

Naming Alkenes is similar to naming Alkanes save for the naming of the root chain. To name the root chain
you must give side where the double bond is the lowest number and name all branches after using this number
scheme. You should end up with something like 2 Pentene

Reaction Mechanisms

Many/most reactions do not take place in one step. If a reaction were to react in one step, then you could
use the balanced reaction to determine the rate law. For example, assume the following occured in one step.
M gCl2 + 2Hbr 2HCl + M gBr2
rate = k[M gCl2 ]1 [HBr]2
In reality though, things are not always as easy.
Through experimentation we figure out that the rate law for:
N O2 + CO N O + CO2
is
rate = k[N O2 ]2
Because the rate law does not link up with the equation, it is not a single step reaction.

Equilibrium

The state where the concentration or partial pressures (if it is a gas) of all the reactants and products remain
constant with time. For equilibrium to occur, the forward reaction rate must equal the reverse rate. In other
words, the amounts do not have to be equal, but the rates must be.

The Nernst equation to be used under standard conditions is:

E cell = E

0.0592
log(Q)
n

E = Normal standard potential

n = Number of moles of e s changing
Q = Reaction Quotient =

[P roduct]
[Reactant]

Example
+2
+2
Cu(s) + Cu
| {z } Cu
| {z } +Cu(s)
1 M

0.1 M

Q = 0.1
1 = 0.1
n = 2 (2 e being transfered)
E = 0(1M 1M = N ovoltage
E cell = 0 0.0592
2 log(0.1)
This Nernst equation is to be used when the temperature is not standard and the concentrations
are not equal.
