    Study Notes

    Matter and Classification

    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It exists in solid, liquid, and gas states.
    • Pure substances consist of one type of atom or molecule (elements and compounds).
    • Mixtures contain two or more substances, and their properties are retained.
    • Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition (e.g., air, saltwater).
    • Heterogeneous mixtures have non-uniform composition (e.g., salad, granite).

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Physical changes alter a substance's form but not its composition (e.g., melting ice).
    • Chemical changes result in new substances with different properties (e.g., burning wood). Indicators include color change, gas formation, or temperature changes.

    Lewis Structure Diagrams

    • Lewis structures depict atomic bonding and lone electron pairs.
    • Atoms are the basic units of matter with protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Ions are charged atoms that have gained or lost electrons.

    Compounds

    • Ionic compounds form when electrons are transferred between metal and nonmetal atoms.
    • These transferred electrons create positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, held together by electrostatic forces. Example: NaCl (sodium chloride).
    • Monovalent metals form ions with a single positive charge (e.g., Na+, K+).
    • Bivalent metals form ions with a double positive charge (e.g., Ca2+, Fe2+/Fe3+).

    Polyatomic Compounds

    • Polyatomic compounds are groups of multiple atoms bonded together, carrying a charge (e.g., nitrate ion NO3-).

    Acids and Bases

    • Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water (e.g., HCl).
    • Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water (e.g., NaOH).

    Balancing Equations

    • Balancing chemical equations ensures equal atoms of each element on both sides, adhering to the Law of Conservation of Mass. Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

    Types of Reactions

    • Synthesis (combination) reactions combine two or more substances into a single product (e.g., A + B → AB).
    • Decomposition reactions break down a single compound into two or more simpler substances (e.g., AB → A + B).
    • Single displacement reactions replace one element in a compound with another (e.g., A + BC → B + AC).
    • Double displacement reactions involve exchange of ions between two compounds (e.g., AB + CD → AD + CB).
    • Neutralization reactions between an acid and a base produce a salt and water (e.g., HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O).

    Cell Parts and Functions

    • Cell membrane regulates substance movement into and out of the cell.
    • Nucleus is the cell's control center, containing DNA.
    • Mitochondria produce cellular energy (ATP).
    • Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis in plant cells.

    Organ Systems

    • Circulatory system transports substances throughout the body.
    • Digestive system breaks down food into nutrients.
    • Respiratory system exchanges gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide).

    Blood Composition

    • Red blood cells carry oxygen, while white blood cells fight infections.
    • Platelets aid in blood clotting.

    Cell Cycle

    • Interphase is the cell's growth and preparation phase, including DNA replication.
    • Mitosis is the process of cell division into two identical daughter cells.
    • Stages of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis.

    Cancer

    • Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth.
    • Causes include genetic mutations, carcinogens, radiation, and viral infections.

    Organ Transplantation

    • Organ transplantation is the surgical transfer of healthy organs from a donor to a recipient.
    • Challenges include organ rejection and organ shortages.

    Microscope Calculations

    • Total magnification = Ocular lens magnification × Objective lens magnification.
