Study Notes
Chemical and Physical Changes
- Physical changes alter shape, size, or state of matter, while chemical changes involve a chemical reaction forming new substances.
- Signs of a chemical change include heat, light emission, bubbling, and odor changes.
Solutions and Mixtures
- Solutions are composed of a solvent (dissolving substance) and a solute (dissolved substance).
- Heterogeneous mixtures have visibly distinct components.
- Homogeneous mixtures have uniformly mixed components, making their components indistinguishable.
Atomic Structure
-
Subatomic Particles:
- Protons: Positively charged, located in the nucleus, determine the element.
- Neutrons: Neutral, located in the nucleus, hold the nucleus together.
- Electrons: Negatively charged, orbit the nucleus, responsible for bonding.
- Atomic Forces: The four fundamental forces are, in descending order of strength, the Strong Force (nucleus), Weak Force (radioactive decay), Electromagnetic Force (electron orbits), and Gravity (holds atoms together).
- Electron Shells: Energy levels (shells) around the nucleus fill in a specific order: 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32.
- Valence Electrons: Electrons in the outermost shell, responsible for chemical bonding.
- Neutral Atoms: Protons equal electrons
- Ions: Atoms with a charge (positive or negative) due to unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
- Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Atomic Mass: Sum of protons and neutrons.
Atomic History and Discoveries
- Democritus: Theorized the existence of the atom.
- Dalton: Developed atomic theory.
- J.J. Thompson: Discovered electrons.
- Ernest Rutherford: Discovered the atom's mostly empty space structure (gold foil experiment).
- Neils Bohr: Discovered electron shells.
- James Chadwick: Discovered neutrons.
- Schrödinger and Heisenberg: Discovered electron clouds.
- Dmitri Mendeleev: Created the periodic table.
Periodic Table
- Organization: Families/groups (vertical columns) are arranged by similar valence electron numbers, while periods (horizontal rows) indicate the number of electron shells.
- Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids: A staircase separates metals (left) from nonmetals (right); elements on the staircase are metalloids.
- Atomic Number: The number of protons defines an atom's element and atomic number.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic Bonds: Transfer of electrons between metals and nonmetals.
- Covalent Bonds: Sharing of electrons between nonmetals.
- Metallic Bonds: A "sea" of electrons shared among metal atoms.
- Valence Electrons: The key to chemical bonding.
Chemical Energy and Reactions
- Stored Chemical Energy: Energy released during a chemical reaction.
- Molecules vs. Compounds: Molecules involve identical atoms bonded, while compounds involve different atoms bonded.
- Lewis Dot Structures: Visual representations of bonding.
- Chemical Reaction Energy Forms: Light, heat, sound, electricity, and mechanical energy can be released during chemical reactions.
- Conservation Laws: The Law of Conservation of Matter (no matter gained/lost during reactions) and the Law of Conservation of Energy (no energy gained/lost).
Acids and Bases
- Acids: Sour taste, formula often starts with "H".
- Bases: Bitter taste, formula often ends with "OH".
