    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
    • Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by orbiting electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
    • The number of protons in an atom defines its atomic number.
    • The sum of protons and neutrons defines the mass number.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Chemical bonds hold atoms together to form molecules.
    • Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms, creating ions with opposite charges that attract.
    • Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
    • Metallic bonds result from the sharing of electrons among many atoms, characteristic of metals.

    Periodic Table

    • The periodic table arranges elements according to their atomic number and properties.
    • Elements in the same column (group) have similar chemical properties.
    • Elements in the same row (period) have increasing numbers of electron shells.
    • Elements are categorized based on their properties, such as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
    • Reactants are the substances that undergo change.
    • Products are the substances formed as a result of the reaction.
    • Chemical equations represent chemical reactions, showing reactants and products.
    • Balanced chemical equations have equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides.

    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 fixed shape nor volume, and their molecules are widely spaced.

    Solutions

    • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
    • The substance present in the larger amount is called the solvent.
    • The substance present in the smaller amount is called the solute.
    • Solutions can be formed by dissolving solids, liquids or gases.
    • Properties of solutions include concentration (amount of solute per amount of solvent), solubility (maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent), and colligative properties.

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution.
    • Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution.
    • The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
    • The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
    • Acids have a pH below 7, and bases have a pH above 7.

    Thermodynamics

    • Thermodynamics studies the relationship between heat, work, and energy.
    • The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or changed from one form to another.
    • The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy (disorder) in the universe tends to increase.
    • The third law of thermodynamics establishes a zero point for entropy.

    Kinetics

    • Chemical kinetics studies the rates of chemical reactions.
    • Factors influencing reaction rates include temperature, concentration of reactants, presence of catalysts, surface area of reactants and activation energy.
    • Reaction mechanisms detail the steps involved in the transformation of reactants to products.

    Electrochemistry

    • Electrochemistry deals with the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy.
    • Redox reactions (oxidation-reduction) involve electron transfer.
    • Oxidation is the loss of electrons, and reduction is the gain of electrons.
    • Electrolytic cells use electrical energy to drive a nonspontaneous chemical reaction.
