Study Notes

Atomic Structure and Bonding

An atom is the smallest building block of matter.
Isotopes are different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
A positive ion (cation) is formed when a metal atom loses one or more electrons.
A negative ion (anion) is formed when a non-metal atom gains one or more electrons.
Ionic bonds form from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).
Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and are involved in bonding.
Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.
Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets.
Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets.
Magnetic poles with similar polarities repel each other; opposite poles attract.
A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where its force is felt.
Gravitational force attracts objects towards the center of the Earth.
Contact forces act between objects when they touch.
Field forces act on objects across a distance without touching.
Orbital motion is the revolution of an object around a central body in a curved path.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Weight is the force of gravity on an object.

Cells and Organisms

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotes are single-celled or multicellular organisms with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to develop into specialized cell types.
Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume other organisms for food.
Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down organic molecules (like glucose) to release energy in the presence of oxygen.

Matter, Mixtures and Chemical Reactions

Microbes are microscopic living organisms, some beneficial and some harmful.
Root nodule bacteria live in the roots of legumes and help plants absorb nitrogen.
The moon appears illuminated because it reflects sunlight.
The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow; the penumbra is the lighter part.
Transparent objects allow light to pass through them; opaque objects do not.
A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon.
A total eclipse is when the moon is completely in Earth's shadow; a partial eclipse is when only part of the moon is in Earth's shadow.
Wood floats on water because its density is less than that of water; iron sinks because its density is greater.
Helium gas is not flammable and is lighter than air.
Stainless steel resists rusting.
Aircraft structures use aluminum-titanium alloys for strength and low weight.
Aerogel is an excellent insulator.
Vitamin D regulates calcium and phosphorus in the blood.
Nickel and cobalt are magnetic, while aluminum and silver are not.
Iron filings are attracted to the poles of a magnet most strongly.
Objects fall towards Earth's center due to gravity.
The Moon has a weaker gravitational field than Earth.
Bacteria can be prokaryotes or eukaryotes; paramecia and euglena are unicellular eukaryotes.
Green algae are producers, or autotrophs, like plants.
Rabbits are consumers, or heterotrophs, needing to eat producers like plants.
Mercury's surface has many craters from impacts.
Uranus' atmosphere is blue-green due to methane.
The moon reflects sunlight and appears bright even if it is not self-luminous.
The total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes entirely into Earth’s shadow.

Electromagnetism and Other Concepts

Lemon juice turns litmus paper red.
Wood floats on water while iron sinks.
Chlorine and sodium form an ionic compound (NaCl).
Chlorine and hydrogen form a covalent compound (HCl).
A carbon atom bonds to four hydrogen atoms to form methane.
Charged objects exert forces on each other, either attractive or repulsive, depending on their charge.
Electric shocks are caused by discharging of electric charges.
Plants need nitrogen to build proteins.
The decomposition by bacteria of plant roots releases nitrogen into the soil.
Bacteria are essential in converting proteins and other nitrogen containing organic molecules back into simple forms in the soil.
Food will be digested through a one-way path, beginning in the mouth and concluding in the anus, not a closed cycle.

Measurements and Calculations

An object with a mass of 60 kg on the Moon weighs 100 N on the Moon.

Periodic Table and Atomic Structure

The periodic table orders elements by increasing atomic number.
Elements in the same group (column) have similar properties.
Atomic radius generally increases down a group and decreases across a period.
Properties like melting and boiling points are related to the atomic radii.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is used to split water into its components: hydrogen and oxygen.
