Study Notes
Alkali Metal Reactivity
- Alkali metals (Group 1) exhibit increased reactivity descending the group.
- A larger atomic radius facilitates easier loss of valence electrons.
Chemical Formulas
- Chemical formulas represent elements and their proportions in a compound.
Diatomic Elements
- Certain elements exist as diatomic molecules (two atoms).
- Examples include hydrogen (H₂), oxygen (O₂), and nitrogen (N₂).
Formation of Ions
- Ions are atoms with a net charge due to electron gain or loss.
- Cations are positively charged ions (formed by electron loss).
- Anions are negatively charged ions (formed by electron gain).
Gas Tests
- Specific tests identify different gases.
- Hydrogen burns with a distinctive "pop" sound.
- Oxygen relights a glowing splint.
- Carbon dioxide turns limewater cloudy.
Solar System Components
- Our solar system includes the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and smaller objects.
- The Sun is the central star, providing light and heat.
- Planets orbit the Sun, categorized as:
- Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars): Rocky and smaller
- Outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune): Gaseous and larger
- Moons are natural satellites orbiting planets.
- Asteroids are small, rocky objects, primarily located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
- Comets are icy bodies with tails that appear when approaching the Sun.
Models of the Universe
- The geocentric model placed Earth at the center of the universe.
Variables in Experiments
- Scientific investigation involves defining independent, dependent, and controlled variables.
- Experiments are designed to test hypotheses.
