Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
- Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
- Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.
- The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
- The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons in different energy levels and sublevels within an atom.
Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bonds hold atoms together to form molecules.
- Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal, where one atom loses electrons and the other gains them.
- Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals, where atoms share electrons.
- Metallic bonds form between metal atoms, where electrons are delocalized and shared among many atoms.
- Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
- Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction.
- Products are the resulting substances formed in a chemical reaction.
- Chemical equations represent chemical reactions using chemical formulas and symbols.
- The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
- Different types of chemical reactions include synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in different states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
- Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
- Phase changes involve transitions between these states (e.g., melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation).
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
- Mole concept relates the mass of a substance to the number of moles.
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
- Stoichiometric calculations allow us to determine the amounts of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Solutions
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
- The solute is the substance that is dissolved.
- The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.
- Concentration describes the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent.
- Different concentration units exist (e.g., molarity, molality, percent by mass).
Acids and Bases
- Acids are substances that produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.
- Bases are substances that produce hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
- The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
- Strong acids and bases completely dissociate in water, while weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.
- Neutralization reactions occur when an acid and a base react to form a salt and water.
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics deals with energy changes in chemical and physical processes.
- Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings.
- Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings.
Organic Chemistry
- Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds.
- Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen.
- Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within organic molecules that determine their chemical properties.
- Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures.
Kinetics
- Chemical kinetics studies the rates of chemical reactions.
- Factors affecting reaction rates include temperature, concentration of reactants, presence of catalysts, and surface area.
- The Arrhenius equation describes the relationship between reaction rate and temperature.
