    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
    • Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
    • The number of protons defines the element.
    • Atomic number = number of protons in the nucleus.
    • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.
    • Atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of an element.

    Periodic Table

    • The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and recurring chemical properties.
    • Elements in the same column (group) have similar chemical properties due to similar valence electron configurations.
    • Elements in the same row (period) have increasing atomic number and gradually changing properties.
    • Metals are generally found on the left side of the periodic table.
    • Nonmetals are generally found on the right side of the periodic table.
    • Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals, found along the "stair-step" line.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Chemical bonds hold atoms together in molecules and compounds.
    • Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals through the transfer of electrons to form ions with opposite charges.
    • Covalent bonds form between nonmetals through the sharing of electrons.
    • Metallic bonds hold metal atoms together through a "sea" of delocalized electrons.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
    • Reactants are the substances present at the beginning of the reaction.
    • Products are the substances formed by the reaction.
    • Chemical equations represent chemical reactions, showing reactants and products with their respective formulas and coefficients.
    • Balanced chemical equations ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

    Stoichiometry

    • Stoichiometry deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
    • Mole concept: One mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number of particles (6.022 x 10^23).
    • Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
    • Stoichiometric calculations allow calculating the amount of reactants needed or products formed in a reaction.

    Solutions

    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.
    • The solute is the substance dissolved in the solvent.
    • The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.
    • Concentration measures the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent or solution.
    • Common units of concentration include molarity (moles of solute per liter of solution).

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids and bases are important classes of compounds with unique chemical properties.
    • Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.
    • Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
    • pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
    • pH values range from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most basic).
    • Neutralization reactions occur when acids and bases react to form water and a salt.

    Thermodynamics

    • Thermodynamics studies energy changes and transformations in chemical and physical processes.
    • Enthalpy (ΔH) measures the heat absorbed or released by a reaction.
    • Entropy (ΔS) measures the disorder or randomness of a system.
    • Gibbs free energy (ΔG) determines the spontaneity of a reaction.

    Organic Chemistry

    • Organic chemistry focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-containing compounds.
    • Many organic compounds contain carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds.
    • Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
    • Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within a molecule that impart specific chemical properties.
    • Isomerism describes compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
