Study Notes
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
- Atoms are indestructible and cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms of an element are identical.
- In compounds, atoms of different elements join in fixed ratios.
- Atoms rearrange during chemical reactions to form new substances.
Chemical Reactions
- Signs of a chemical reaction include color change, gas production, solid formation in solution, or temperature change.
- The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
- Example: Hydrogen + Chlorine → Hydrogen Chloride
Changes of State
- Changes of state are physical changes.
- No atoms are lost or gained during a physical change.
- Mass of the substance remains the same.
Elements and Symbols
- Elements are represented by unique symbols.
- Each symbol starts with a capital letter.
- Additional letters, if needed, are lowercase.
- Examples: Nitrogen (N), Lithium (Li), Chlorine (Cl), Iron (Fe), etc.
Metals and Non-metals
- Metals: Generally high melting point, shiny, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Non-metals: Generally low melting point, dull, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Atoms in a Compound
- Chemical formulas show the ratio of atoms in a compound.
- Example: Water (H₂O)
Periodic Table
- Elements are organized in order of atomic number (number of protons).
- Elements in the same group have similar properties.
- Elements in the same period show trends in properties.
Metal and Non-metal Oxides
- Many metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides (e.g., calcium + oxygen → calcium oxide).
- Metal oxides usually form alkaline solutions when reacted with water.
- Non-metals react with oxygen to form nonmetal oxides (e.g., carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide).
- Non-metal oxides usually form acidic solutions when reacted with water.
