Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Bonding
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, composed of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by orbiting electrons.
- Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral.
- The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, defining the element.
- The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with varying numbers of neutrons.
- Electrons occupy specific energy levels (shells) and sub-levels (orbitals).
- Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell and are crucial for chemical bonding.
- Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, forming positively charged cations and negatively charged anions.
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, forming molecules.
- Metallic bonding involves the delocalization of valence electrons, creating a "sea" of electrons that holds metal atoms together.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
- Reactants are the substances that undergo change, and products are the substances formed.
- Balanced chemical equations represent the conservation of mass in a reaction, with equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides.
- Chemical reactions can be classified based on various factors, such as the type of reaction (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement).
- Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings, while endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings.
- Reaction rates depend on factors such as temperature, concentration, surface area, and presence of catalysts.
- Catalysts speed up reactions without being consumed.
- Le Chatelier's principle describes how a change in conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, concentration) affects the equilibrium of a reversible reaction.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in four states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with strong intermolecular forces holding particles in place.
- Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container. Intermolecular forces are weaker than in solids.
- Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume, with particles widely dispersed and weak intermolecular forces.
- Plasma is a highly energized state of matter, with electrons stripped from atoms.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances, where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent).
- Solubility describes the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.
- Concentration expresses the amount of solute in a given amount of solution. Various units are used (e.g., molarity, molality, percent by mass).
- Colligative properties of solutions depend on the number of solute particles, not their chemical identity (e.g., vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure).
Acids and Bases
- Acids are substances that donate protons (H+ ions) in an aqueous solution.
- Bases are substances that accept protons (H+ ions) in an aqueous solution or donate hydroxide ions (OH−).
- The pH scale quantifies the acidity or basicity of a solution; a lower pH indicates higher acidity, a higher pH indicates higher basicity.
- Strong acids and bases completely dissociate in water, while weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.
- Neutralization reactions involve the reaction of an acid and a base to form a salt and water.
Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements by atomic number and recurring chemical properties.
- Elements in the same group (vertical column) share similar chemical properties due to similar valence electron configurations.
- Elements in the same period (horizontal row) show gradual changes in properties across the period.
- Metals generally are good conductors of heat and electricity and tend to lose electrons.
- Nonmetals generally are poor conductors of heat and electricity and tend to gain electrons.
- Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Nomenclature
- Chemical nomenclature provides a systematic way to name chemical compounds.
- Rules specify how names reflect the composition and structure of the compounds.
- Different naming conventions apply to inorganic and organic compounds.
