Study Notes
Basic Concepts of Chemistry
- Chemistry is the study of matter's composition, structure, and properties.
- Antoine Lavoisier is considered the father of chemistry.
- Branches of chemistry include inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical.
- Other branches such as biochemistry, war chemistry, nuclear chemistry, forensic chemistry, and earth chemistry also exist.
Matter
- Matter occupies space and has mass.
- Matter consists of small particles with spaces between them.
- Matter particles attract each other and are in continuous motion.
- Matter is classified physically (solid, liquid, gas) and chemically (pure substances, mixtures).
- Pure substances (elements, compounds) have fixed compositions, unlike mixtures.
- Elements are the simplest form of pure matter, containing only one type of atom. There are 118 known elements.
- Elements can be metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
- Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Oxygen is the most abundant in the earth's crust. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust.
- Compounds are formed from two or more elements in definite mass ratios.
SI Units and Measurement
- The SI system (International System of Units) has seven base units and two supplementary units.
- Basic SI units include: meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), ampere (electric current), kelvin (thermodynamic temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).
- Supplementary units are the radian and steradian.
- Prefixes are used to modify the base units (e.g., kilo, milli, nano).
- Mass remains constant, weight varies with gravity.
- Common temperature scales are Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).
- Volume is the space occupied by matter.
- Density is mass per unit volume.
- Scientific notation expresses measurements as a number between 1 and 9.999 multiplied by a power of 10.
Precision, Accuracy, and Significant Figures
- Precision is the reproducibility of measurements.
- Accuracy is the difference between experimental values and the true value.
- Accurate results are often precise, but precise results are not always accurate.
- Significant figures represent the meaningful digits in a measurement.
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry deals with reactant and product ratios in chemical reactions.
- Limiting reagent is completely consumed.
- Excess reagent remains unreacted.
- % yield is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100.
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the smallest indivisible particles of matter (according to Dalton).
- Atoms have electrons, protons, and neutrons.
- Electrons were discovered through cathode ray tube experiments.
- Electrons have a negative charge and very low mass.
Periodic Table
- Mendeleev's periodic law was modified by Moseley.
- Modern periodic law states properties of elements depend on their atomic numbers.
- Periods are horizontal rows, and groups are vertical columns.
- Properties repeat periodically as electrons arrangements are repeated.
Other Topics
- Biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, vitamins)
- Chemistry in Everyday Life (medicines/drugs, food, cosmetics, rocket propellants, cleansing agents)
- Nuclear Chemistry (nucleons, nuclear forces, radioactivity, fission, fusion)
- Analytical Chemistry (qualitative and quantitative analysis of inorganic and organic compounds)
