    Study Notes

    General Chemistry Study Notes

    • Chemistry is the scientific study of matter and its properties, transformations, and the energy associated with these processes.
    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
    • Elements are the fundamental building blocks of matter, composed of only one type of atom.
    • Compounds are formed when two or more elements combine chemically in a fixed ratio.
    • Mixtures are formed when two or more substances combine physically, without chemical bonding.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms are composed of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.
    • The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
    • The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

    Periodic Table

    • The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and recurring chemical properties.
    • Elements in a vertical column (group) share similar chemical properties due to their similar electron configurations.
    • Elements in a horizontal row (period) show gradual changes in properties across the series.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Chemical bonds hold atoms together in molecules and compounds.
    • Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
    • Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, forming oppositely charged ions.
    • Metallic bonds involve the sharing of delocalized electrons among a lattice of metal atoms.

    Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
    • Reactants are the substances present at the start of a reaction.
    • Products are the substances formed as a result of a reaction.
    • The balanced chemical equation shows the relative amounts of reactants and products involved in a reaction.

    Stoichiometry

    • Stoichiometry deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
    • Mole ratios from the balanced equation are used to calculate amounts of substances.
    • Limiting reactants determine the maximum amount of product that can be formed.

    Solutions

    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of a solvent and a solute.
    • The solvent is the dissolving medium, and the solute is the dissolved substance.
    • Concentration expresses the amount of solute in a given amount of solution.
    • Various concentration units exist, including molarity, mass percent, and mole fraction.

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) in water.
    • Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water.
    • The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
    • Neutralization reactions occur when acids and bases react to form water and a salt.

    Thermochemistry

    • Thermochemistry studies the energy changes accompanying chemical reactions.
    • Enthalpy (ΔH) measures the heat absorbed or released by a reaction at constant pressure.
    • Exothermic reactions release heat, while endothermic reactions absorb heat.

    Kinetics

    • Chemical kinetics studies the rates of chemical reactions.
    • Reaction rates depend on factors such as reactant concentrations, temperature, and catalysts.
    • Reaction mechanisms describe the steps involved in a reaction.

    Equilibrium

    • Chemical equilibrium is the state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.
    • Le Chatelier's principle describes how changes in conditions affect the position of equilibrium.
    • Equilibrium constants (K) quantify the extent of a reaction at equilibrium.

    Electrochemistry

    • Electrochemistry deals with the relationship between chemical reactions and electrical energy.
    • Oxidation involves the loss of electrons, and reduction involves the gain of electrons.
    • Electrochemical cells involve the use of chemical reactions to generate electrical energy or vice versa.
