Study Notes
Chemistry Grade 9 Revision
- Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter.
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies a volume.
- Matter exists in four states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Organization of Matter
- Matter can be categorized as mixtures or pure substances.
- Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
- Pure substances can be elements or compounds.
- Elements are made of atoms.
- Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Definitions
- An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can exist and still show the properties of that element.
- An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary physical or chemical processes.
- A compound is a pure substance formed from two or more different types of elements chemically bonded together in fixed proportions, changing their properties.
- Molecules are groups of two or more atoms bonded together which can exist on their own. Molecules can be made of the same or different atoms.
- A formula unit represents the lowest ratio of ions in an ionic compound to give a neutral charge.
Atomic Structure
- Atoms have protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus.
- Protons have a positive charge.
- Neutrons have no charge.
- Electrons have a negative charge.
- The atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus.
- All atoms of an element have the same atomic number.
- The mass number (A) of an element is the sum of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
- The mass of an atom is primarily the mass of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- Electrons are found in orbitals around the nucleus.
Chemical Notation
- Chemical notation shows the mass number (A) and atomic number (Z) of an element.
- A = Z + N
- The mass number is written as a superscript and the atomic number is written as a subscript in front of the chemical symbol
Isotopes
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons.
- Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
Isotopes of Hydrogen
- Protium (¹H) has one proton and no neutrons
- Deuterium (²H) has one proton and one neutron
- Tritium (³H) has one proton and two neutrons
Matter and its states
- Matter has mass and occupies space.
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
- Solids have a definite shape and volume.
- Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
- Gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.
- Plasma is a highly energized state of matter.
Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Solids have a rigid structure and high intermolecular forces.
- Liquids have a definite volume and can flow.
- Gases have low intermolecular forces and expand to fill their container.
Changes of States
- Melting is the change from solid to liquid.
- Freezing is the change from liquid to solid.
- Vaporization is the change from liquid to gas.
- Condensation is the change from gas to liquid.
- Sublimation is the change from solid to gas.
- Deposition is the change from gas to solid.
Boiling Point and Melting Point
- Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the surrounding pressure, causing the liquid to change into a vapor.
- Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid
Heating and Cooling Curves
- Heating and cooling curves show how temperature changes as heat is added or removed from a substance.
The Particle Theory
- The particle theory explains the behaviour of solids, liquids and gases.
- All matter is made of particles.
- All particles of the same substance are identical.
- Particles are in constant motion.
- There are spaces between particles.
- Particles have forces of attraction between each other.
- Temperature affects the speed of particles.
Diffusion & Osmosis
- Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
- Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
Periodicity
- Periodicity is the recurrence of elements with similar properties at regular intervals in the periodic table.
- Elements are arranged according to their atomic number.
- The periodic table organizes elements according to their similar chemical properties and repeating properties.
- The arrangement of metals and nonmetals follows a pattern within the table.
Group I and II Metals
- Group I metals are called alkali metals.
- Group II metals are called alkaline earth metals.
Physical Properties of Group II Elements
- Atomic radius increases down the group, due to increasing electron shells.
- Ionisation energy decreases down the group, due to increased shielding and distance from the nucleus.
Chemical Properties of Group II Elements
- Group II metals react with oxygen and air, water, and dilute acids which lead to the formation of salt.
Physical Properties of Group VII - Halogens
- Halogens are nonmetals with low melting and boiling points.
- Halogens are more soluble in non-polar solvents than in polar solvents.
- Halogens can exist as gases, liquids or solids at room temperature.
Trends in Physical Properties
- Atomic radius increases down the group of elements.
- electronegativity decreases down the group of elements.
- Melting and boiling points increase down the group of elements.
Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules.
- Valence electrons are involved in bonding.
- Ionic bonding involves transfer of electrons.
- Covalent bonding involves sharing of electrons.
- Metallic bonding involves valence electrons in a sea of electrons.
Lewis Dot Diagrams
- Lewis dot diagrams show the valence electrons of an element.
- These show bonding capabilities of the elements.
Deriving Chemical Formulas
- The method for deriving chemical formulas varies based on the type of compound (ionic or covalent).
- Ionic compounds create formulae according to the transfer of electrons to achieve a neutral charge.
- Covalent compounds use the valency, oxidation states or numbers in a compound.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds are crystalline solids at room temperature.
- They are hard and brittle.
- They have high melting and boiling points.
- They conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water.
- They are often soluble in polar solvents like water.
Structure of lonic compounds
- Ionic compounds form crystal structures or lattices.
- The ions are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.
- The ions are strongly attracted to each other via electrostatic forces.
- Ionic crystals are considered giant ionic structures composed of ions.
Properties of Simple Covalent Compounds
- Simple covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points.
- They are typically soluble in nonpolar solvents.
- They do not conduct electricity when molten.
- Simple covalent compounds are made up of molecules which are bonded together via weak intermolecular forces.
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces are forces between individual molecules.
- These forces are weak compared to intramolecular forces.
- Two main types of intermolecular forces are Van der Waals forces and Hydrogen bonds.
Van der Waals Forces
- These are weak attractions between molecules.
- They arise due to uneven distribution of electrons.
- Instantaneous dipoles on one molecule can induce dipoles in neighbouring molecules.
Hydrogen Bonds
- Strong intermolecular forces formed when a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom.
- The hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge, which attracts an electron-rich atom in another molecule.
Structures of Simple Covalent Solids
- Solids containing discrete covalent molecules generally have lower melting and boiling points than giant ionic solids.
- Simple covalent solids, such as sulphur, phosphorus, iodine, water (ice) and carbon dioxide (dry ice), have weak intermolecular forces.
Allotropes
- Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element.
- Some elements, like carbon, can exist in multiple forms with different properties (e.g., diamond and graphite).
Giant Covalent Solids
- Giant covalent solids have high melting and boiling points.
- Covalent bonds extend throughout the structure.
- They are often insoluble in polar or nonpolar solvents
Allotropes of Carbon
- Diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
- Their different structures lead to distinct properties.
Differences Between Diamond and Graphite
- Diamond is hard but graphite is soft and slippery.
- Diamond is a good conductor of heat while graphite is a conductor of both heat and electricity.
- Diamond is transparent, but graphite is opaque.
Additional Notes
- Various experiments demonstrate the principles of chemistry.
- The periodic table organizes elements in a way that lets us see repeating patterns.
