    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
    • Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting the nucleus.
    • Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.
    • The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its atomic number and defines the element.
    • The mass number of an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
    • Atomic mass is the average mass of all isotopes of an element.
    • Electron shells or energy levels describe the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Chemical bonds hold atoms together to form molecules and compounds.
    • Ionic bonds form when one atom loses electrons to another, creating ions with opposite charges that attract.
    • Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
    • Metallic bonds involve the sharing of electrons among many atoms in a metal.
    • Hydrogen bonds are a special type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs between molecules containing hydrogen bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen).
    • The strength of chemical bonds varies.
    • Molecules are formed from two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
    • Compounds are substances formed from two or more different atoms.

    States of Matter

    • Matter exists in three primary states: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Solids have a fixed shape and volume due to strong intermolecular forces.
    • Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
    • Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume, and expand to fill their container.
    • Plasma is a state of matter that is similar to gas but contains ions and free electrons.
    • Phase transitions occur when matter changes from one state to another.
    • Changes in temperature or pressure can cause phase transitions.
    • Evaporation is the process by which liquid is converted to gas.
    • Condensation is the process by which gas is converted to liquid.
    • Melting is the process by which solid is converted to liquid.
    • Freezing is the process by which liquid is converted to solid.
    • Sublimation is the process by which solid is directly converted to gas.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
    • Reactants are the starting materials, while products are the resultant substances.
    • The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
    • Chemical equations represent chemical reactions, showing reactants and products.
    • Chemical reactions can be categorized based on several factors:
      • Types of reactions include synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion.
      • Exothermic reactions release heat, while endothermic reactions absorb heat.
      • Rates of reactions depend on factors like the concentration of reactants, temperature, and presence of catalysts.

    Solutions

    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.
    • The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.
    • Solutes are the substances that are dissolved in the solvent.
    • The concentration of a solution expresses the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.
    • Some solutions are unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated depending on the amount of solute they contain.
    • Colligative properties are the properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity.

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in water.
    • Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water.
    • The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
    • A neutral solution has a pH of 7, an acidic solution has a pH less than 7, and a basic solution has a pH greater than 7.

    Periodic Table

    • The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic structure and properties.
    • Elements are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups or families).
    • Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
    • The periodic table shows trends in atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity, and metallic character.

    Stoichiometry

    • Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
    • It's based on the balanced chemical equations.
    • It involves using mole ratios to determine the amount of substances consumed or produced.
