Study Notes
Chemistry - U1
- Diatomic Elements: HOFBrINCl
- Naming Ionic Compounds: Metal name + non-metal name ending in "ide" (e.g., ZnCl₂ = Zinc Chloride)
- Naming Molecular Compounds: Use prefixes (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-) based on subscripts for both elements (e.g., N₂O = Dinitrogen Monoxide)
- Chemical Formulas: Use criss-cross method, considering periodic table patterns (1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
- Example: Lithium Oxide (Li₂O)
Optics - U2
- Cations and Anions: Cations are positively charged ions (lose electrons), Anions are negatively charged ions (gain electrons)
- Angle of Incidence: Angle between incident ray and normal line.
- Angle of Reflection: Angle between reflected ray and normal line (equal to angle of incidence)
- Normal Line: Line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
- Incident Ray: Incoming light ray.
- Reflected Ray: Reflected light ray.
- Focus: Point where light rays converge or diverge.
- Principle Axis: Horizontal line through centre of mirror/lens, used for calculations.
Types of Mirrors and Lenses
-
Concave Mirror: Image is always REAL, unless reflected outwards, where it is VIRTUAL
- Ray parallel to PA is reflected through F
- Ray through C reflects back on itself
- Ray through F reflects parallel to PA
- Ray aimed at V follows law of reflection
-
Convex Mirror: Image is always VIRTUAL
- Ray parallel to PA reflects as if through F
- Ray aimed at C reflects back on itself
- Ray aimed at F reflects parallel to PA
-
Converging Lenses: Images are typically VIRTUAL.
- Ray parallel to PA refracts through F
- Ray through F' refracts parallel to PA
- Ray through O continues straight
Optics - U2 (continued)
-
Convex Lenses: Image is always VIRTUAL
- Ray parallel to PA refracts through F
- Ray through F' refracts parallel to PA
- Ray through O continues straight
Biology - U3
- Cell Division: Essential for repair, reproduction, growth.
- Major Cell Organelles: Mitochondria (energy), Nucleus (control), Cell Wall (plant cells), Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Vacuole, Chloroplast.
- Functions of Systems: Digestive (breaks down food), Circulatory (moves nutrients/oxygen/waste), Respiratory (gas exchange).
- Connection of Systems: Nutrients absorbed in digestive system enter bloodstream; oxygen from lungs enters circulatory system to deliver to body.
Chemistry - U1 (continued)
- Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass of reactants equals mass of products.
- Polyatomic Ions: Ions containing multiple elements (e.g., nitrate, sulfate, phosphate)
- pH Scale: Measure of acidity/basicity. 0-6 acidic; 7 neutral; 8-14 basic.
Other
- Plant vs. Animal Cells (identification): Plant cells have chloroplasts and cell walls, animal cells have centrioles and lysosomes.
- Gas Exchange: Oxygen diffused into blood, CO₂ diffused out via capillaries in alveoli for removal.
- Refraction: Bending of light as it passes through different mediums
- Hyperopia: Farsightedness (image focused behind retina)
- Myopia: Nearsightedness (image focused in front of retina)
- Presbyopia: Age-related farsightedness due to decreased elasticity of the eye lens.
