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.
