    Study Notes

    Atoms, Elements, and Compounds

    • Atoms are the smallest parts of an element that can exist. They have a radius of about 0.1 nanometers and are neutral.
    • Elements are substances containing only one type of atom. They are represented by symbols like O, Na, Br.
    • Compounds are substances formed when two or more elements combine chemically. Compounds can only be separated into elements using chemical reactions.
    • Compounds are composed of two or more elements.
    • Atoms are made up of a central nucleus with protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells.

    The Development of the Atomic Model

    • Early models depicted atoms as solid spheres.
    • J.J. Thomson's experiments discovered electrons, leading to the "plum pudding" model where electrons are embedded in a positive sphere.
    • Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.
    • Bohr's model proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels.
    • Chadwick's work provided evidence for the existence of neutrons.

    Atomic Structure and Periodic Table

    • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge; neutrons have no charge; electrons have a negative charge.
    • The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
    • The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
    • The periodic table organizes elements by atomic number, showing trends in properties.

    Mixtures and Methods of Separation

    • Mixtures contain two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined.
    • Mixtures can be separated by physical processes such as filtration, distillation, crystallization, and chromatography. These include separating an insoluble solid from a liquid, separating a solid from a solution, separating a solvent from a solution, separating a mixture of liquids, and separating substances that move at different rates through a medium.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve energy changes, reactants turn into products.
    • Word equations use names of substances, while symbol equations use chemical formulas to represent reactants and products.
    • Conservation of Mass: Total mass of reactants = total mass of products

    Periodic Table Details

    • Alkali metals are highly reactive metals on the left side of the table, forming +1 ions.
    • Halogens (Group 7) are reactive nonmetals, forming -1 ions.
    • Noble gases in Group 0 are unreactive, with full outer electron shells.
    • Elements with similar properties are grouped together.
    • Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (number of protons).

    Relative Atomic Mass

    • A calculation that takes into account the abundance of isotopes of an element. Expressed as an average of the isotopes based on their abundance.
