Study Notes
Branches of Chemistry
- Chemistry studies matter, its properties, changes, and associated energy.
- Branches include:
- Organic chemistry: Carbon-containing compounds.
- Inorganic chemistry: Non-carbon-containing compounds.
- Physical chemistry: Physical properties and reactions.
- Analytical chemistry: Matter composition analysis.
- Biochemistry: Substances and processes in living organisms.
Matter and its Properties
- Matter occupies space and has mass.
- States: solid, liquid, gas.
- Properties:
- Physical: Observable/measurable without changing substance (color, melting point, density).
- Chemical: How substance reacts to form new substances (flammability, reactivity).
Atomic Structure
- Matter is composed of atoms.
- Atoms have a nucleus (protons, neutrons).
- Electrons orbit the nucleus.
- Element determined by number of protons.
- Isotopes: Same element, different number of neutrons.
Chemical Bonds
- Bonds hold atoms to form molecules.
- Types:
- Ionic: Electron transfer, oppositely charged ions attract.
- Covalent: Electron sharing between atoms.
- Metallic: Delocalized electrons shared among atoms.
Chemical Reactions
- Atom rearrangements form new substances.
- Reactants: Starting substances.
- Products: Substances formed.
- Equations describe reactions using formulas.
- Reaction rate factors: temperature, concentration, surface area, catalysts.
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry: Calculating reactants and products using mole ratios.
- Moles: Unit for amount of substance.
- Molar mass: Mass of one mole of substance.
Solutions
- Solutions: Homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.
- Solutes: Dissolved substances.
- Solvents: Substances doing the dissolving.
- Concentration: Amount of solute in a solution.
- Units: Molarity (moles/liter), percent by mass.
Acids and Bases
- Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in water.
- Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water.
- pH scale measures acidity/basicity.
- Neutral solution: pH 7.
- Acids: pH < 7.
- Bases: pH > 7.
- Acid-base reactions: Proton (H+) transfer.
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics: Energy changes in chemical reactions.
- Exothermic reactions: Release heat.
- Endothermic reactions: Absorb heat.
- Enthalpy: Heat content of a system.
- Entropy: Measure of disorder.
Equilibrium
- Chemical equilibrium: Forward/reverse reaction rates are equal.
- Equilibrium constant (K): Ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium.
- Le Chatelier's principle: How condition changes affect equilibrium.
Nuclear Chemistry
- Nuclear chemistry: Structure and reactions of atomic nuclei.
- Radioactive decay: Unstable nuclei spontaneously disintegrate.
- Types of decay: alpha, beta, gamma.
- Applications: Medicine, energy production.
