Study Notes

Key Laws in Chemistry

Law of Conservation: Matter and mass cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
Law of Definite Proportions: Elements in a compound exist in fixed mass ratios regardless of the amount or method of formation.
Law of Multiple Proportions: Compounds are formed from elements in whole number ratios.

Atomic Structure

Atom: The smallest particle of an element retaining its chemical properties.
Regions of Atoms: Comprised of a nucleus (center with protons and neutrons) and electrons (surrounding the nucleus).

Electron Properties

Present in all atoms and elements.
Have consistent mass and charge.
Possess a high charge-to-mass ratio.
Mass of an electron is approximately 9.109 x 10^-31 kg.

Rutherford's Atomic Model

Discovered positive charge in the center due to electrons bouncing back during gold foil experiment.

Atomic Identity

Atomic Number: Unique number identifying an element, equal to the number of protons.
Isotopes: Variants of the same element with different masses due to differing neutron numbers.
Isotopes share the same atomic number but differ in neutron count.

Mass and Moles

Mass Number: Total of protons and neutrons in an isotope's nucleus.
Mole: Quantity containing the same number of particles as atoms in 12g of carbon-12, defined as 'mol'.
Avogadro's Number: The number of particles in one mole, approximately 6.022 x 10^23.

Molar Mass

Equal numerically to the atomic mass and expressed in g/mol.
Conversion between grams and moles and vice versa requires formulas based on molar mass.

Conversion Formulas

Moles to grams: Multiply moles by molar mass.
Grams to moles: Divide grams by molar mass.
Moles to atoms: Multiply moles by Avogadro's number.
Grams to atoms: Convert grams to moles and then to atoms using Avogadro's number.

Structure of the Nucleus

Comprised of protons and neutrons, discovered by Rutherford.

Examples of Chemical Compounds

Demonstrating Law of Multiple Proportions: Carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Additional Notes

Maintain clarity in unit conversion steps to avoid mistakes in calculations.
