Guide to Chapter 5. Periodicity and Atomic Structure
Answers to problem club questions in orange.
We will spend 2 - 3 lecture days on this chapter. In this chapter we will learn more about the structure of the
atom. We will start with a review of electromagnetic radiation. We will discuss the nature of matter, the
deBroglie relationship, and the hydrogen spectrum. The most important concept of the first part of this chapter is
the introduction to the postulates of quantum mechanics, use of the quantum numbers n and l, ml and ms. We
will learn the shapes of orbitals, energy diagrams, electronic configurations, ground states, excited states, orbital
box diagrams, dia- and paramagnetism, Pauli exclusion principle, electronic configuration and the periodic
table. Following that, we will shift to some very practical results of quantum mechanics: periodic trends. In this
chapter we will discuss shielding, effective nuclear charge, and atomic radii (size). More periodic trends will be
introduced in Chapter 6.
This is a chapter study guide, given section-by-section. Work problems on separate sheets of paper and keep them
with this guide. When working problems, use plenty of space and when appropriate, show all work.
The following useful formulas, equations and constants will be given to you on the exam:
c = 
E = -2.178 x 10-18J(1/n2)

E = hc/
E = Ef – Ei = -2.178 x 10-18J(1/nf2 - 1/ni2)
1/ = 1.097 x 10-2 nm-1(1/nf2 - 1/ni2)

Advice from a former student:
My only advice would be to read the chapters before the material is covered in class. Since the class
covers material quickly, it sometimes becomes difficult to spend much time on a topic in class, whereas if a person
has read the material prior, the student will have refined his or her questions

Advice from a former student:
Read the book! It helps reinforce the lecture and problem solving techniques. Don't expect to do well
unless you are willing to work one-two hours on chemistry on the week nights. (and you gotta catch up on
weekends if you were bombarded with other homework during the week, or else it's difficult when you fall
behind!) Have a clear understanding that Tests/Quizzes are the only compilation of your final grade, so I
thought it necessary to study extra hard for them. In order to study well, do all of the assigned book problems and
the problem clubs; you get better with practice. Go in early to class to ask questions of the previous night's
homework or just to listen to others' questions. It's not necessary, but helpful. Don't let the learning objectives fool
you; they were intimidating at first with all the information, but just take them day by day and you'll eventually
come to understand that everything is tied together.
