Study Notes

Matter, Measurement, and Experimental Analysis

Matter is conserved in chemical and physical processes. The law of conservation of matter states that total mass remains the same, regardless of changes within a closed system.
Chemical reactions result in products with different properties compared to the original reactants.
Chemical formulas represent compounds, where subscripts indicate relative numbers of atoms in a molecule or formula unit.
Atoms are held together by electromagnetic forces.
Intramolecular bonds form between atoms to attain stability.
Covalent bonds involve electron sharing between nonmetals.
Ionic bonds involve electron transfer between metals and nonmetals.
Physical properties describe observable characteristics without changing composition.
Chemical properties describe the ability of a substance to react and form new substances.

Essential Knowledge and Skills

Distinguish between chemical and physical properties.
Differentiate pure substances from mixtures (homogeneous/heterogeneous).
Classify elements as metals, metalloids, or nonmetals.
Name chemical formulas for binary covalent and ionic compounds.
Relate compound types to the use of "formula units" and "molecules".
Calculate percent yield and percent error for a given process.
Explain various separation techniques like chromatography, filtration, decantation, magnetic separation, evaporation, and centrifugation.
