    Study Notes

    Unit 1: Atoms and Atomic Structure

    • Everything is comprised of atoms.
    • Elements consist of one type of atom.
    • Compounds are formed from multiple different types of atoms.
    • Atoms are too small to be seen directly.
    • Cathode Ray Experiment (1897) helped discover negatively charged, massless particles (electrons).
    • Rutherford Gold Foil Experiment (1908-1914) demonstrated that atoms have a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus.
    • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.
    • Electrons orbit the nucleus.
    • Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negatively charged.
    • Atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
    • Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons.

    Unit 2: Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table

    • Subatomic particles make up atoms.
    • Protons and neutrons are heavy and reside within the nucleus.
    • Electrons are light and orbit around the nucleus.
    • Atomic number identifies the number of protons in an atom.
    • Atomic mass represents the average mass of an element's isotopes.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
    • Calculation of atomic mass involves combining data from its various isotopes and relative abundance.
    • Ions are atoms or molecules with a net electric charge due to a loss or gain of electrons.
    • The periodic table arranges elements based on atomic number.
    • Elements in the same column (group) have similar properties and the same number of valence electrons.
    • Elements with similar electron configuration exhibit similar chemical properties.
    • The table can be divided into blocks (s, p, d, and f) with different orbital electron characteristics.
    • Ionization energy measures how much energy is required to remove an electron.
    • Atomic radius is half the distance between the centers of two atoms bonded together.
    • Electron affinity measures energy released when an electron is added to an atom.
    • Ionization energy and atomic radius exhibit trends on the periodic table, related factors to their positions and properties.
    • Trends of electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, and atomic radius are related to electron configurations.
    • Elements with high ionization energy or electron affinity hold onto their electrons tightly.
    • Elements with low ionization energy or electron affinity have electrons that are readily lost or gained.
    • Trends are influenced by the number of protons and energy levels.

    Unit 4: Intermolecular Forces (IMFs)

    • Intramolecular forces bind atoms within a molecule.
    • Intermolecular forces act between different molecules.
    • London Dispersion Forces (LDFs) are the weakest IMFs, arising from temporary dipoles.
    • Dipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules.
    • Hydrogen bonds are a stronger type of dipole-dipole force.
    • Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly an atom attracts electrons.
    • The greater the difference in electronegativity within a bond, the more polar is the bond.
    • IMFs influence Boiling Points, Viscosity, and Surface Tension.
    • The strengths of IMFs dictate the physical state of a substance at a given temperature.

    Unit 5: Dimensional Analysis

    • Dimensional analysis is a systematic approach for converting units.
    • Conversion factors are used to perform unit conversions.
    • Dimensional analysis involves multiplying by conversion factors to cancel unwanted units.
    • It's a tool for calculations involving units of measurement.

    Unit 6: The Mole Concept

    • A mole is 6.02 x 10^23 particles, which is Avogadro's number.
    • Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams.
    • The concept of moles allows you to relate amounts of substance in chemical reactions by converting between mass and number of particles.
    • The molar mass of an element or compound can be determined through the periodic table.
    • Calculations can be carried out using moles.
    • The mole concept relates the macroscopic properties of a substance to the characteristics of its atoms or molecules.

    Unit 7: Nuclear Chemistry

    • Nuclear reactions involve changes in the nucleus of an atom.
    • Nuclear reactions differ from chemical reactions in that changes to the nucleus occur rather than electron transitions.
    • Radioactive decay is the spontaneous disintegration of an unstable atomic nucleus into a more stable configuration.
    • Types of decay include alpha, beta, and gamma.
    • Mass-energy equivalence (Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2) is fundamental.
    • The concept of half-life describes the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay.
