    Study Notes

    Unit A: Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the branch of science that identifies substances, investigates their properties, and studies how they interact, combine, and change to form new substances.

    Matter

    • Matter is a physical substance that has mass and occupies space.

    Energy

    • Energy is power derived from chemical or physical resources.

    State

    • State is a physical condition determined by molecular structure.

    Physical Properties of Matter

    • Boiling Point/Condensation Point: The temperature at which a substance boils or condenses.
    • Freezing Point/Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance freezes or melts.
    • Malleability: The ability of a substance to be beaten or rolled into sheets without crumbling.
    • Ductility: The ability of a substance to be stretched without breaking.
    • State: Existence as a solid, liquid, or gas.
    • Crystal Formation: Crystalline appearance.
    • Magnetism: Magnetic attraction between objects.
    • Conductivity: Ability to conduct heat or electricity.
    • Solubility: Ability to dissolve.
    • Color: The color of the material.

    Physical States of Matter

    • Solids: Molecules held in a fixed pattern.
    • Liquids: Molecules packed closely together, able to move freely.
    • Gases: Molecules widely separated.

    Chemical Properties of Matter

    • Ability to Burn: Combustion (flame, heat, light).
    • Flash Point: Temperature needed to ignite a flame.
    • Behaviour in Air: Tendency to degrade, react, or tarnish.
    • Reaction with Water: Tendency to corrode or dissolve.
    • Reaction with Acids: Corrosion, sometimes bubble formation.
    • Reaction with Heat: Tendency to melt or decompose.
    • Reaction to Red/Blue Litmus: Red-acid; blue-basic; no color change-neutral.

    Properties & Classification of Matter

    • Matter can be classified as pure substances or mixtures.
      • Pure Substances: Contain only one type of particle, cannot be broken down into another substance by physical means.
        • Elements: Made up of one type of atom (e.g., gold, oxygen).
        • Compounds: Made up of more elements chemically combined in specific ratios (e.g., water, salt).
      • Mixtures: Contain two or more pure substances.
        • Homogeneous Mixtures: Appear to be made of one substance, look the same throughout (e.g., sugar and water).
        • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Separate components are visible.
          • Suspensions: Particles dispersed throughout a fluid (e.g., sand and water).
          • Colloids: Particles suspended, cannot be filtered apart easily, look like one substance (e.g., gelatin, milk).

    Matter can Change

    • Chemical Changes: A chemical reaction forms new products, altering the substance's composition. These are generally irreversible.
      • Examples: combustion, rotting, rusting, digestion
    • Physical Changes: Matter changes form, but not its chemical identity. These are often reversible.
      • Examples: melting, shredding, chopping, boiling

    Identifying Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions involve the formation of a new substance with new physical and chemical properties, and often involve the release or absorption of energy.

    Ancient Chemistry

    • Metallurgy: The science of producing and using metals.
      • Annealing: Heating metal to make it stronger and less brittle.
      • Smelting: Separating metals from compounds by melting them.

    Food Chemistry

    • Food preservation techniques, such as cooking, freezing, drying, salting, smoking, spicing, and fermenting, are essential for human survival.

    Atomic Theory

    • Our understanding of atoms has evolved over time. Models are revised to fit new evidence.
    • Dalton's Model (Billiard Ball): Atoms are indivisible, identical atoms of an element, combine in fixed ratios.
    • Thompson's Model (Raisin Bun): Atoms have a positive charge with embedded negative charges.
    • Rutherford's Model (Planetary): Atoms have a small, dense, positive nucleus with negative electrons orbiting it.
    • Bohr's Model: Electrons exist only in specific energy levels.
    • Quantum Mechanical Model: Electrons' positions are described by probabilities; they can be found anywhere around the nucleus, but tend to be more frequent in certain regions.

    Idea 1: Spontaneous Generation

    • Aristotle's idea that living things can arise from non-living material.

    Idea 2: The Billiard Ball Model

    • Dalton's description of the atom characterized by indivisibility and the fixed ratios of atoms when combining to form compounds.

    Idea 3: The Raisin Bun Model

    • Thompson's model illustrating embedded electrons within a positively charged atom.

    Idea 4: The Planetary Model

    • Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, with electrons orbiting the nucleus. Evidence came from experiments using gold foil and high-speed particles.

    Idea 5: The Bohr Model

    • Bohr's model suggesting electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels.

    Idea 6: The Quantum Mechanical Model

    • The modern model of the atom, describing electron positions using probabilities instead of fixed orbits.
