Study Notes

Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data

Qualitative data does not involve numbers (e.g., color, size, texture).
Quantitative data is numerical and based on measurement.

Periodic Table Groups

Group 1: Alkali Metals
Group 2: Alkali Earth Metals
Group 17: Halogens
Group 18: Noble Gases

Definitions

Malleability: The ability of a material to be hammered into a thin sheet.
Conductivity: The ability of a material to transfer heat or electricity well.
Luster: A science term for shine/brightness
Precision: How close multiple measurements are to each other.
Accuracy: How close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.
Ductility: The ability of a material to be stretched into a thin wire.
Atom: Means "indivisible"
Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass/matter is neither created nor destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction.

Periodic Table

Group: Elements in the same vertical columns. The group number indicates the number of valence electrons.
Period: Elements in the same horizontal row.
Aufbau Principle: Electrons occupy orbitals in order from lowest to highest energy.
Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons within an atom can have the exact same set of four quantum numbers.
Hund's Rule: Orbitals in a set are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is doubly occupied.
SI Units:
- Time: seconds
- Length/Distance: meters
- Mass: kilograms
- Electric current: amperes
- Temperature: Kelvin
- Amount of a substance: moles
- Luminous intensity: candelas

Scientific Notation

Example: 82,680,000 = 8.268 x 10⁷

Atoms

Atoms are electrically neutral due to the equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons (atomic number).
Neutrons are calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

Energy Levels

Excited State: Highest energy state of an atom.
Ground State: Lowest energy state of an atom.

Quantum Numbers

Principle Quantum Number: Indicates the energy level.
Angular Momentum Quantum Number: Describes the shape of the orbital.
Magnetic Quantum Number: Indicates the orientation of the orbital.
Spin Quantum Number: Indicates the spin state of the electron.

Electron Configurations

Electron configurations describe the arrangement of electrons in an atom.

Mixtures vs. Compounds

Mixture: A physical combination of substances where individual substances maintain their properties and can be separated by physical methods.
Compound: A chemical combination of substances where a new substance with different properties results as a result; it cannot be separated by physical methods.

Physical and Chemical Changes

Physical Change: Change in state, shape, or temperature of matter without a new substance forming.
Chemical Change: Production of a new substance, unexpected temperature changes when mixing substances, color change.

Dalton's Atomic Theory

Atoms are indivisible (incorrect - divisible into smaller parts.)
Atoms of the same element are identical (incorrect - Isotopes exist)

Calculations

Conversion from meters to millimeters. Example: 3.23 m = 3230 mm

Significant Figures

Rules for determining the number of significant figures in a number.
