Study Notes

Accuracy and Precision

Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value.
Precision is how close several measurements are to each other.

Atomic Theory

All matter is made of small particles called atoms.
Atoms cannot be destroyed or created.

Intensive and Extensive Properties

Intensive properties are independent of the amount of a substance (e.g., density, boiling point).
Extensive properties depend on the amount of a substance (e.g., mass, energy).

Avogadro's Number

6.022 x 10²³ atoms

Ionic Bonding and Lattice Energy

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic compound into its gaseous ions.
Lattice energy increases with increasing charge of ions and decreases with increasing size of ions.
Coulomb's law describes the force between charged particles.

Covalent Bonding and Lewis Structures

Lewis structures show all valence electrons of atoms in a molecule.
Example: H₂O and PCl₃ have been demonstrated through an illustrative example of Lewis structures
Examples: H2O, and PC13.

Formal Charge

Calculates the difference between the valence electrons of an isolated atom and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in a molecule.

Bond Strength, Bond Length, and Bond Enthalpy

Bond strength is related to the number of bonds, and bond length between two atoms.
Bond enthalpy is the energy required to break a bond between two atoms.

Bond Order and Resonance Structures

Bond order is related to bond strength and bond length
Resonance structures are multiple Lewis structures to represent a molecule.

Polarity

Units for measuring length, including meters, centimeters, millimeters, nanometers, and angstroms (Å). Values and conversions for these units are included.

Electromagnetic Radiation

Energy (E) = hν, where h is Planck's constant and ν is frequency.
The speed of light (c) = νλ, where ν is frequency and λ is wavelength.
Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10^-34 Js.
Speed of light = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Bohr Model

Electrons orbit the nucleus in quantized energy levels (n).
Energy levels are quantized for electrons.
Energy levels are quantized, which means they can only have specific values.

Quantum Mechanics

Wave function (Ψ): describes the probability of finding an electron in a particular region of space.
Four quantum numbers describe the properties of an electron. Orbital shape depends on quantum numbers n & l.

Quantum Numbers for Orbitals

Principle Quantum Number (n): energy level
Angular momentum Quantum number (l): shape of orbital (0: s, 1: p, 2: d, 3:f)
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): orientation of the orbital in space. (-L to +L)

Aufbau Principle

Electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first.

Hund's Rule

Electrons fill degenerate orbitals individually before pairing up.

Atomic Radius and Ionic Radius

Atomic radius increases down a group.
Ionic radius: cations (positive charge) are smaller than their parent atoms. Anions (negative charge) are larger. Both get smaller as you move across a period.

Ionization Energy

Energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. It increases going from left to right across a period and decreases going down a group.

VSEPR Theory

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory determines molecular shape based on electron domain geometry.

Types of Reactions

Combination reactions: Two or more reactants combine to form one product.
Decomposition reactions: One reactant breaks down into two or more products.
Combustion reactions: A substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, producing heat and light.

Gas Laws

Boyle's Law: Pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
Charles's Law: Volume and temperature are directly proportional at constant pressure.
Avogadro's Law: Volume and number of moles are directly proportional at constant temperature and pressure.

- Electrostatic potential energy is the energy associated with interactions between charged particles
Thermochemistry: The study of heat changes accompanying chemical reactions and physical changes
Internal energy (E): is the sum of all energy in a system.
State function: property of a system that depends only on the present state of the system and not the path taken to reach that state.

Enthalpy, Hess's Law, and Standard Enthalpies of Formation

Enthalpy (H): a thermodynamic property that is defined as the sum of the internal energy of the system and the product of its pressure and volume.
Hess's Law: Enthalpy change of a reaction is the same whether the reaction takes place in one or multiple steps.
Standard enthalpies of formation are the enthalpy changes when one mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements under standard conditions.

Spontaneous Processes and Entropy

Spontaneous processes occur without external intervention
Entropy (S): a measure of disorder or randomness in a system, for spontaneous processes increasing enthalpy will tend to spread energy out to increase entropy.
Standard molar entropies (S°) are the values of entropy for one mole of a substance in its standard state

Chemical Equilibrium, Equilibrium Constants

Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state where rates of forward and backward reactions are equal, and concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
Equilibrium constant (Keq/Kc): the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at a given temperature. The equilibrium constant Kp is the same ratio under conditions of equilibrium, but the ratio is based on partial pressures.

Heterogeneous Equilibrium

Heterogeneous equilibrium involves reactants and products in different phases (solid, liquid, gas)

Acids and Bases

Conjugate acid-base pairs differ in the presence or absence of a proton.
Strong acids completely dissociate in aqueous solutions, compared to weak acids that only partially dissociate.
Strong bases are ionic hydroxides of alkali metals.
Weak bases only partially dissociate.
Acid-base strength is related to the equilibrium constant for the acid or base dissociation.

Autoionization of Water

Water undergoes self-ionization (autoprotolysis) to form hydronium (H₃O⁺) and hydroxide (OH^-) ions.

Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is the study of the interchange of chemical and electrical energy.
Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons
Galvanic cells involve spontaneous redox reactions to produce an electrical current in a battery
