Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Properties
- Neutrons possess no electrical charge, being neutral particles within an atom's nucleus.
- The atomic number signifies the number of protons in an atom, distinguishing one element from another.
- A molecule is formed when two or more of the same atoms are chemically bonded together.
Mixtures and Solutions
- In instant hot cocoa preparation, the dry cocoa acts as the solute, dissolved in a solvent.
- Suspensions are mixtures composed of two or more different molecules that tend to separate when left undisturbed.
- Ointments are organic mixtures combined with a medicinal agent.
Elements and Compounds
- Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the second most prevalent in the atmosphere.
- Water is a compound formed when two hydrogen atoms bond with one oxygen atom.
Chemistry in Hair Care
- Surfactants facilitate shampoo lathering; a common misconception is that they prevent it.
- Conditioning shampoos contain additives to enhance hair's tensile strength and elasticity.
- Amines/quats in conditioners help make hair easier to comb and reduce static.
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Hair, comprising carbon, sulfur, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, demonstrates varying physical properties.
- A physical change example is water freezing into ice, differentiating from chemical changes like iron rusting.
- Acids have a higher concentration of positive hydrogen ions compared to negative hydroxide ions.
pH and Hair Care Products
- A pH-balanced shampoo restores hair to a pH of 4.5 to 5.5, optimal for maintaining hair health.
- Chlorine is added to purification processes primarily to kill bacteria in water.
- Neutral solutions, such as distilled water with a pH of 7, do not alter the pH balance of substances.
Chemical Bonds and Hair Structure
- Hydrogen bonds in hair are weak and can be disrupted by heat and water.
- Disulfide bonds are crucial in hair structure and of significant concern for salon professionals.
- Side bonds organize protein chains essential for hair integrity and appearance.
Conditioners and Treatments
- Body-building conditioners penetrate the hair shaft, depositing proteins to repair damaged areas.
- Instant conditioners, often with a vegetable oil base, are recommended for fine or limp hair.
- Normalizing conditioners contain vegetable proteins and an acidic pH to close the cuticle post-alkaline treatments.
Matter and Solutions
- Liquids possess a definite weight and volume but lack a fixed shape.
- A saturated solution cannot dissolve additional solute at a given temperature.
- Shampooing effectively cleans hair and scalp while preserving their integrity.
Additional Facts
- Rinses that accumulate on hair can be detrimental if not properly managed.
- The oil-loving part of a surface active agent is referred to as lipophilic, crucial in the formulation of hair care products.
- The chemical symbol for carbon is "C," serving as a fundamental element in organic chemistry.
