    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions

    • A chemical reaction is the interaction of substances to create new substances.
    • Reactants are the substances that interact/react.
    • Products are the substances that are created/made.
    • Example: A + B → C + D ("A plus B reacts to form C plus D")

    Chemical Change vs. Physical Change

    • Chemical change: A reaction occurs, and new chemical substances are created. Example: Rusting of iron
    • Physical change: No new chemical substances are made. Example: Water molecules changing state.

    Compound Formulae

    Compound Formulae 1

    • The small number indicates the number of atoms of an element.
    • A water molecule (H₂O): Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
    • Two capital letters in a compound formula indicate two elements.

    Compound Formulae 2

    • "Big numbers" at the start of a formula represent the number of molecules.
    • Two water molecules (2H₂O): Four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms.

    Compound Formulae with Brackets

    • Anything outside brackets is not affected.
    • Multiply everything inside brackets by the number outside the brackets.
    • Example: Mg(OH)₂ : One magnesium atom, two oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms.
    • Example: 2Mg(OH)₂: Two magnesium atom, four oxygen atoms, four hydrogen atoms.

    Compound Formulae Examples

    • Show different ways of expressing the number of atoms in a compound, using compound formula or diagrams.
    • Ex: Mg(NO₃)₂ and 3Mg(NO₃)₂
    • Demonstrate how to determine the number of atoms in a compound formula given the formula

    Relative Formula Mass

    • Mr (relative formula mass): Calculate using atomic masses of elements to determine the total mass of a compound.
    • Example: H₂O = (2 x 1) + (1 x 16) = 18.
    • Similar idea for a compound in brackets; calculate the total atomic mass.

    Naming Compounds

    Naming Compounds (Words)

    • Group 7 elements' ending changes to -ide

    • Group 6 elements' ending changes to -ide

    • When two different elements are involved : Suffixes of the second element in a compound change when more than two elements are combined, for ex : Carbon and oxygen carbonate, Sulfur and oxygen sulfate, Nitrogen and oxygen Nitrate, Hydrogen and oxygen Hydroxide

    Naming Compounds (Chemical Formulae)

    • Naming a compound from a chemical formula, converting the formula into a meaningful name with the appropriate prefixes. Example: NaF sodium fluoride

    Chemical Word and Symbol Equations

    • Chemical Word Equations: Reactants → Products (words instead of symbols)
    • Chemical Symbol Equations: Reactants → Products (using chemical symbols)

    Scatter Graphs

    • Graph with data points plotted, typically used to show relationship between two variables.
    • Careful scale selection: Use multiples of 10 for better visualization. Avoid use of 3, 6, or 9 on graphs scales to simplify read ability.
    • Points plotted with 'x': Display data plotted on graphs
    • Line of Best Fit: The best approximation of the trend, often straight or curved.
