Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter.
- Composed of a nucleus containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral).
- Electrons (negatively charged) orbit the nucleus.
- Atomic number is the number of protons.
- Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons in energy levels and sublevels.
Chemical Bonding
- Atoms bond to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by filling their outermost electron shell.
- Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, forming ions (charged particles).
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
- Metallic bonding involves the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of metal atoms.
- Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules.
- Types include: hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, and London dispersion forces.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
- Reactants are the starting materials.
- Products are the substances formed by the reaction.
- Chemical equations represent reactions, showing reactants and products.
- Balanced equations have equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides.
- Types of chemical reactions include: synthesis, decomposition, single-displacement, double-displacement, and combustion.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
- Solids have fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
- Gases have neither fixed shape nor volume, filling their container completely.
- Changes of state involve changes in energy.
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
- Mole concept is fundamental in stoichiometry.
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
- Mole ratios from balanced equations are crucial for stoichiometric calculations.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.
- Solvent is the substance present in the largest amount.
- Solute is the substance dissolved in the solvent.
- Concentration describes the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution (e.g., molarity, molality, percent by mass).
Acids and Bases
- Acids are substances that donate protons (H+ ions) in an aqueous solution.
- Bases are substances that accept protons.
- pH scale measures acidity or basicity (0-14).
- Neutral solutions have a pH of 7.
- Strong acids and bases completely dissociate in water.
- Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics deals with energy changes in chemical reactions.
- Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings.
- Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings.
- Enthalpy (H) is a measure of the heat content of a system.
- Entropy (S) measures the disorder or randomness of a system.
- Gibbs free energy (G) determines spontaneity of a reaction.
Kinetics
- Kinetics studies the rates of chemical reactions.
- Reaction rate is the speed at which reactants are consumed or products are formed.
- Factors affecting reaction rate include concentration, temperature, catalysts, and surface area.
- Collision theory explains how reactions occur by collisions between molecules.
Equilibrium
- Equilibrium is the state where the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.
- Le Chatelier's principle describes how a system at equilibrium responds to changes in conditions (temperature, pressure, concentration of reactants or products).
