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).
- Pure Substances: Contain only one type of particle, cannot be broken down into another substance by physical means.
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.
