Study Notes
Chemistry in Context
- Understand the scientific method: observation, hypothesis, experiment, analysis, conclusion.
- Differentiate between theory (explanation) and law (summary of observed behavior).
- Recognize chemistry's role in everyday life.
- Distinguish between macroscopic (observable), microscopic (atomic/molecular), and symbolic (chemical formulas/equations) domains.
Phases and Classification of Matter
- States of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma.
- Mass vs. weight: mass is the amount of matter, weight is the force of gravity on mass.
- Law of Conservation of Mass: mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- Pure substances (elements, compounds) vs. mixtures (homogeneous, heterogeneous).
- Physical changes (no change in composition) vs. chemical changes (change in composition).
- Physical properties aid in characterizing and identifying substances.
- Phase refers to states of matter & regions with uniform composition in mixtures
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Physical properties (e.g., density, boiling point) vs. chemical properties (reactivity).
- Extensive properties (depend on amount of matter) vs. intensive properties (independent of amount).
- Identify physical and chemical changes.
- Classify elements as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids using the periodic table.
Measurements
- Measurements include magnitude, unit, and uncertainty.
- Significant figures indicate precision.
- Scientific notation represents very large or very small numbers.
- Seven base SI units (Table 1.2).
- SI prefixes (Table 1.3).
- Derived units (e.g., volume, density).
- Perform density calculations.
Measurement Uncertainty, Accuracy, and Precision
- Use scientific notation in calculations.
- Report correct significant figures in calculation results.
- Identify exact numbers.
- Round answers correctly.
- Understand precision (closeness of measurements) and accuracy (closeness to true value).
Mathematical Treatment of Results
- Convert between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).
- Use factor-label method (dimensional analysis) for unit conversions.
- Understand molar mass as a conversion factor.
Early Ideas in Atomic Theory
- Dalton's postulates: elements are made of atoms, atoms of an element are identical, etc.
- Atomic symbols and their meaning (Table 2.1).
- Deductions from Dalton's theory (e.g., Law of Multiple Proportions).
Evolution of Atomic Theory
- Thomson's discovery of the electron (mass-to-charge ratio).
- Millikan's oil drop experiment (electron charge).
- Rutherford's gold foil experiment (nuclear model of the atom).
- Soddy's discovery of isotopes.
- Chadwick's discovery of the neutron.
Atomic Structure and Symbolism
- Atomic structure: protons, neutrons (nucleus), electrons.
- Relative masses and charges of subatomic particles (Table 2.2).
- Atomic number (Z) = number of protons.
- Mass number (A) = protons + neutrons.

- Isotope symbols.
- Calculate average atomic mass and percent composition.
Chemical Formulas
- Recognize chemical formulas for ionic and molecular compounds.
- Understand structural and geometric isomers.
The Periodic Table
- Mendeleev and Meyer's contributions.
- Periodic law: properties recur periodically with atomic number.
- Organization of the periodic table: periods (rows), groups (columns).
- Metals vs. nonmetals: position, properties.
- Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, chalcogens, halogens, noble gases, transition metals, inner transition metals (lanthanides, actinides).
- Trends in effective nuclear charge and electronegativity.
Molecular and Ionic Compounds
- Chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms and electrons.
- Octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve 8 valence electrons.
- Ionic compounds (ionic bonds).
- Molecular compounds (covalent bonds).
Chemical Nomenclature
- Distinguish between organic/inorganic and molecular/ionic compounds.
- Naming binary compounds, ionic compounds (including those with variable charges), ionic hydrates, molecular inorganic compounds, binary acids, and oxoacids.
- Six common strong acids and six common strong bases.
- Stronger acid has weaker conjugate base.
Formula Mass and the Mole Concept
- Determine formula mass.
- Mole concept: 1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles (Avogadro's number).
- Molar mass (g/mol) is numerically equal to atomic mass (amu).
- Conversions between mass, moles, number of molecules, and number of atoms.
Determining Empirical and Molecular Formulas
- Calculate percent composition from masses or molecular formula.
- Determine empirical formula from masses or percent composition.
- Determine molecular formula from empirical formula and molar mass.
Molarity
- Concentration: amount of solute in a solution.
- Solute, solvent, solution.
- Concentrated vs. dilute solutions.
- Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution.
- Calculations involving molarity.
Other Units for Solution Concentrations

- Strong vs. weak acids and bases.
- Neutralization reactions.
- Assign oxidation states to identify oxidized and reduced species.
- Single displacement and combustion reactions are redox reactions.
