Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds form when one atom transfers electrons to another, typically between a metal and nonmetal (e.g., Na transfers an electron to Cl).
- Ionic compounds result from ionic bonds.
- Covalent bonds form when two nonmetals share electrons (e.g., O₂).
- Polar covalent bonds occur when atoms with high electronegativity (e.g., oxygen) pull shared electrons closer.
- Metallic bonds occur between metals, with electrons free to move (forming a "sea of electrons"). This explains their conductivity.
- Prefixes (mono-, di-, tri-) are used for naming covalent compounds, but not ionic ones.
Chemical Reactions
-
Types of Reactions:
- Synthesis: Two or more reactants form one product.
- Decomposition: A compound breaks down into simpler substances.
- Single displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
- Double displacement: Two compounds exchange ions.
- Combustion: A substance reacts with oxygen producing energy.
-
Balancing equations is essential to satisfy the law of conservation of mass (reactant mass = product mass).
-
Endothermic reactions absorb heat; exothermic reactions release heat.
-
Stoichiometry involves calculating molar mass and converting between moles and grams.
Solutions
-
Types of Solutions:
- Saturated: Holds the maximum solute at a given temperature.
- Unsaturated: Can dissolve more solute.
- Supersaturated: Holds more solute than normal (often requiring heat).
- Molarity (concentration) is calculated by dividing moles of solute by liters of solution.
- Colligative properties: Adding solute lowers freezing point and raises boiling point of a solution.
- Solubility of gases decreases with temperature increase, but increases with pressure increase (e.g., soda).
Acids and Bases
- Acids release H⁺ ions in water; bases release OH⁻ ions in water.
- Examples of Strong Acids: HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃
- Examples of Strong Bases: NaOH, KOH
- Strong acids/bases dissociate completely; weak acids/bases only partially dissociate.
- The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 (0-6 acidic, 7 neutral, 8-14 basic).
- Neutralization reactions occur when acids and bases react, producing water and a salt.
- Buffers maintain stable pH by neutralizing added acid/base.
Final Tips
- Review notes and study aids (like Quizlet).
- Practice problems (especially stoichiometry and balancing equations).
- Memorize key formulas (e.g., molarity).
- Study diagrams (e.g., ionic compound dissolving in water).
- Stay calm and focused during the exam.
