Study Notes

Atomic Structure

  • Atomic number: number of protons in an atom
  • Atomic mass: total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
  • Number of protons = number of electrons
  • Number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number
  • Atomic structure consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons

Isotopes

  • Isotopes: atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but different atomic mass
  • Isotopes have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
  • Relative atomic mass calculation: weighted average of the atomic masses of the isotopes

Chemical Bonding

  • Ion: a charged atom formed by losing or gaining electrons
  • Classification of ions: cation (positive ion) and anion (negative ion)
  • Ionic bond: formed between a metal and a non-metal by the transfer of electrons
  • Ionic bond diagram: dot cross diagram and outer shell diagram

Covalent Bonding

  • Covalent bond: formed between two non-metals by sharing electrons
  • Covalent bond diagram: dot cross diagram and outer shell diagram
  • Properties of covalent compounds: differ from ionic compounds

Chemical Calculations

  • Relative molecular mass (Mr): sum of the atomic masses of the atoms in a molecule
  • Moles: amount of substance that contains Avogadro's number of particles
  • Molar mass: mass of one mole of a substance
  • Molar volume: volume of one mole of a gas
  • Empirical and molecular formula: different types of formulae to represent a compound
  • Percentage composition by mass: calculation of the percentage of each element in a compound

Ceramics and Polymers

  • Ceramics: inorganic, non-metallic materials
  • Types of ceramics: earthenware, porcelain, and bone china
  • Polymers: long chains of molecules formed by repeating units of monomers
  • Types of polymers: natural (e.g. proteins, cellulose) and artificial (e.g. nylon, polyethylene)
  • Uses and sources of polymers: varied and diverse
