Study Notes
General Chemistry Study Notes
- Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties, along with the changes it undergoes.
- Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all matter.
- Elements are substances composed of only one type of atom.
- Compounds are substances composed of two or more different types of elements chemically bonded together.
- Molecules are formed when two or more atoms bond together.
Atomic Structure
- Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge), surrounded by electrons (negative charge) in electron shells/orbitals.
- The number of protons determines the element.
- Atomic number = number of protons
- Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Atomic mass is the weighted average mass of all isotopes of an element.
Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on their properties and atomic structure.
- Elements are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups or families).
- Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
- Metals are typically good conductors of heat and electricity, and have high luster.
- Nonmetals typically do not conduct heat or electricity well.
- Metalloids display properties of both metals and nonmetals.
- Groups are labeled with numbers (1-18) or Roman numerals (IA-VIIIA).
- Periods are labeled 1-7.
Chemical Bonds
- Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms, creating positive and negative ions that attract each other.
- Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
- Metallic bonds occur when valence electrons are shared among all atoms in a metal.
Chemical Formulas
- Chemical formulas represent the composition of a substance using symbols of elements and subscripts indicating the number of atoms of each element.
- Subscripts refer to the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
- Prefixes in chemical names denote the number of atoms of each element.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
- Reactants are substances that undergo a change.
- Products are the substances formed as a result of the reaction.
- Chemical equations show the reactants and products of a chemical reaction, using symbols and coefficients to balance the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
- Balance chemical equations to ensure the Law of Conservation of Mass is observed (equal number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction).
Nomenclature
- Systematic naming systems exist for various types of compounds (ionic, molecular).
- Rules for ionic and molecular compounds include considering charge, prefixes, and suffixes.
States of Matter
- Solids, liquids, and gases are the three primary states of matter.
- The physical state of a substance is identified within a chemical reaction using the symbols (s), (l), (g), or (aq).
Other Topics
- Electron Dot Diagrams are visual representations of atoms and their valence electrons, used to predict and explain bonding.
- The mole is a standard unit to measure the amount of substance containing 6.022 x 1023 (Avogadro's number) particles.
- Molar mass relates the mass (g) of a substance to its amount (number of moles). The molar mass of a substance equals its molar mass in g/mol (grams per mole).
- The pH scale is a measure of acidity or basicity of a substance.
