    Study Notes

    Elements and Atoms

    • An element consists of atoms that share the same atomic number.
    • Matter on Earth is composed of 24 naturally occurring elements.
    • Ca(H2PO4)2 is found in bones; potassium is not a component of this substance.
    • Barium has the symbol Ba and an atomic number of 56; the incorrect statement is that it has an atomic mass of 56.

    Subatomic Particles

    • Protons contribute to both atomic number and atomic mass.
    • Electrons in sodium move around the nucleus; those with more energy are located farther from the nucleus.
    • A positively charged subatomic particle has a mass of 1 amu.
    • In any element, all atoms contain the same number of protons.

    Isotopes and Atomic Mass

    • An atom "X" losing two electrons will result in a net charge of +2 and increased instability.
    • Example of an isotope of carbon: 6 protons, 8 neutrons, 6 electrons leads to an atomic mass of 14.
    • Fluorine's atomic mass, with 15 protons, 16 neutrons, and 15 electrons, totals to 31.

    Bonding

    • The valence (outermost) shell contains electrons necessary for bonding.
    • Polar covalent bonds occur between water molecules and in compounds like ammonia (NH3) and methane (CH4).
    • Ionic bonds form when one atom donates and another gains electrons.
    • Bonds that share electrons unequally are known as polar covalent bonds.

    Chemical Reactions and Properties

    • In the reaction 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O, H2O is recognized as a compound.
    • Increasing the volume of a gas results in a decrease in pressure.
    • The primary difference between covalent and ionic bonding lies in electron sharing versus electron transfer.
