Study Notes

Topic 1: Formulae, Equations, and Amount of Substance

Simplifying ionic equations involves writing the normal equation, replacing reactants and products with ions, and then removing spectator ions.
If a solid product forms in a solution reaction, only the ions involved in forming the solid product are written in the simplified equation. Other ions are spectator ions and are omitted.
Acid reactions with metals produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Acid reactions with metal oxides produce salt and water.
Acid reactions with metal hydroxides produce salt and water.
Acid reactions with alkalis produce salt and water.
Acid reactions with metal carbonates produce salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Acid reactions with hydrogencarbonates produce salt, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Displacement reactions are redox reactions.
Double displacement reactions are not redox reactions and no oxidation number change.
Precipitation reactions involve the formation of a solid product from ions in solution.
The test for carbon dioxide involves adding it to limewater. Limewater turns from clear to milky if carbon dioxide is present.
The test for sulfates involves adding barium ions. Barium sulfate precipitates as a white solid if sulfate ions are present.
The test for halides involves adding silver ions. Silver halides precipitate as a solid if halide ions are present.

Topic 2: Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table

Relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an atom, compared to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
Mole calculations include calculations for moles from mass and molar mass, percent yield calculations, atom economy calculations, and volume calculations.
Mass spectrometry vaporizes a sample into a gas.
High energy electrons ionize the gas vapor.
An electric or magnetic field deflects the positive ions.
The strength of the field determines the amount of deflection, which depends on the ion's mass-to-charge ratio (m/z).
The relative abundance of ions is represented as a spectrum.

Topic 3: Bonding and Structure

Ions attract each other due to electrostatic attraction.
Ionic bonding involves electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
The smaller the ion and the larger its charge, the more energy is needed to overcome the attraction.
Ionic compounds are brittle and conduct electricity when molten.
Metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons surrounding positive ions.
Metals have high melting points and are good conductors of electricity.
Covalent bonding involves sharing electron pairs between atoms.
Covalent bonds can be σ (sigma) or π (pi) bonds.
The strength of a covalent bond depends on bond length – shorter bonds are stronger.
Electronegativity is an atom's ability to attract bonding electrons in a molecule and is given values on a scale.

Topic 4: Introductory Organic Chemistry and Alkanes

Alkane general formula is C_nH_2n+2
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they consist only of carbon-carbon single bonds.
Displayed, structural, and skeletal formulas describe organic compounds.
Functional groups give specific properties to molecules.
Alkanes are generally unreactive and undergo substitution reactions.
Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
Cycloalkanes are different cyclic forms of alkanes.

Topic 5: Addition Reactions of Alkenes

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C).
Addition reactions involve the addition of atoms or groups to the double bond (C=C).
Hydrogenation (adding hydrogen) forms alkanes.
Halogenation (adding halogens) forms dihalogenoalkanes.
Hydration (adding water) forms alcohols.
Addition of hydrogen halides forms halogenoalkanes.
Oxidation to diols involves addition of water and oxidation.

Topic 6: Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides

Halogens are not polar but electrons in the C=C bond can induce polarity.
Electrophilic addition involves the attack of a positive species (electrophile) on a molecule with high electron density.
During the reaction, an intermediate carbocation is formed (positive ion). Bromine ions are attracted to the positive carbocation for covalent bond formation.

Additional information
