Study Notes
Types of Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures have a constant composition throughout.
- Heterogeneous mixtures exhibit non-uniform composition.
Separation Techniques
- Density: Utilizes methods like decantation and centrifugation.
- Boiling Point: Employs distillation for separation.
- State of Matter/Solubility: Filtration is used to separate based on these properties.
- Intermolecular Forces: Chromatography utilizes these forces for separation.
- Vapor Pressure: Separation accomplished through evaporation.
- Magnetism: Magnets are used to separate magnetic materials.
Types of Matter
- Substances: Composed of elements and compounds.
- Mixtures: Includes both homogeneous and heterogeneous types.
Units and Measurement
- Length measured in meters (m).
- Mass standardized at kilograms (kg) using platinum-iridium alloy.
- Temperature recorded in Kelvin (K).
- Volume measured in liters (L) or cubic meters (m³).
- Energy measured in joules (J) or calories (Cal).
- Density calculated in grams per liter (g/L) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Significant Figures
- Consist of certain and uncertain digits; indicate precision.
- For addition/subtraction: result limited by least decimal places.
- For multiplication/division: result limited by least significant figures.
Precision versus Accuracy
- Precision: Closeness of multiple measurements to each other.
- Accuracy: Closeness of a measurement to the actual value.
Unit Conversions
- Dimensional Analysis: Method to convert quantities across units.
- Exact Conversion: Same system units.
- Inexact Conversion: Different system of units.
Development of Atomic Theory
- Bohr Model: Developed in 1922.
- Important Laws:
- Law of conservation of mass: Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
- Law of constant composition: All samples of a compound have the same mass ratio.
- Law of multiple proportions: Mass ratio of elements in a compound is always a whole number.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- Matter consists of indivisible particles (atoms).
- Atoms of an element are identical with unique properties.
- Atoms combine in simple ratios to form compounds.
- In chemical reactions, atoms rearrange but are not created or destroyed.
Subatomic Particles
- Proton (p): Positive charge.
- Electron (e-): Negative charge.
- Neutron (n): Neutral charge.
- Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus; electrons occupy the surrounding space.
Atomic Mass Unit
- Defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon atom with six protons and neutrons.
Ions
- Result from an imbalance of protons and electrons.
- Cations: Positively charged (fewer electrons).
- Anions: Negatively charged (more electrons).
Atomic Number and Isotopes
- Atomic number (Z): Number of protons; unique to each element.
- Atomic weight: Weighted average considering isotope abundance.
Periodic Table
- Developed by Dmitri Mendeleev; organizes elements by properties.
- Groups: Vertical columns (18 total), share similar properties.
- Periods: Horizontal rows (7 total), show periodic trends.
Specialized Group Names
- Group 1A: Alkali metals.
- Group 2A: Alkaline earth metals.
- Group 6A: Chalcogens.
- Group 7A: Halogens.
- Group 8A: Noble gases.
Element Characteristics
- Metals: Shiny, solid, ductile, good conductors (left side).
- Non-metals: Brittle, poor conductors (right side).
- Metalloids: Exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Group Characteristics
- Group 1A metals react with water and air, exist as compounds.
- Group 2A metals produce alkaline solutions in water.
- Group 4A elements show varying metallic properties.
- Group 6A oxygen comprises 20% of the atmosphere, essential for life.
Atomic Size and Trends
- Atomic radii increase down a group and decrease across a period.
- Ionization Energy: Energy needed to remove an electron increases across a period.
Excursions in Trends
- Group 3A exhibits lower ionization energy due to easier removal of np electrons compared to ns electrons.
