Study Notes
Branches of Chemistry
- Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, how it changes, and the energy involved in these changes.
- Branches of chemistry include organic chemistry (carbon-containing compounds), inorganic chemistry (non-carbon compounds), physical chemistry (deals with properties and behavior of matter), analytical chemistry (identifying and quantifying substances), and biochemistry (chemical processes in living organisms).
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, consisting of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons.
- Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral.
- The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, determining the element.
- The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons but the same amount of protons.
Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bonds hold atoms together in molecules and compounds.
- Types of chemical bonds include:
- Ionic bonds: Formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms, creating ions (charged particles) that attract each other.
- Covalent bonds: Formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonds can be polar (unequal sharing) or nonpolar (equal sharing).
- Metallic bonds: Formed by the attraction between metal ions and a "sea" of delocalized electrons.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions are processes in which one or more substances are transformed into new substances.
- Key characteristics include:
- Reactants are substances undergoing transformation.
- Products are resulting substances.
- A chemical equation describes the reaction, showing reactants and products.
- Types of chemical reactions include:
- Combination reactions (synthesis).
- Decomposition reactions.
- Single replacement reactions.
- Double replacement reactions.
- Combustion reactions (reaction with oxygen to produce heat and light).
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- Concepts include:
- Mole concept: A mole is a unit of measurement for the amount of a substance.
- Molar mass: The mass of one mole of a substance.
- Balancing chemical equations: Ensure the same number of each element are on both sides of the equation
- Limiting reactants: The reactant that is completely consumed in the reaction, limiting how much product can be formed.
- Percent yield: The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances, consisting of a solute (dissolved substance) and a solvent (dissolving substance).
- Concentration is a measure of the amount of solute present in a solution.
- Units include molarity, molality, and percentage.
- Colligative properties depend on the concentration of solute particles but not on their identity, such as boiling point elevation and freezing point depression.
Acids and Bases
- Acids and bases are chemical substances that affect the acidity or basicity of a solution.
- Acids typically contain hydrogen ions (H+) and bases typically contain hydroxide ions (OH-).
- The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.
- Strong acids and bases completely dissociate in water, while weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.
- Neutralization reactions occur when acids and bases react to form water and a salt.
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics deals with energy changes in chemical reactions.
- Concepts include:
- Enthalpy (ΔH): Heat absorbed or released during a reaction.
- Entropy (ΔS): Measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
- Gibbs free energy (ΔG): The overall energy available to do work in a system.
- Exothermic reactions release heat (ΔH < 0), and endothermic reactions absorb heat (ΔH > 0).
Kinetics
- Chemical kinetics studies the rates of chemical reactions.
- Factors affecting reaction rates include concentration of reactants, temperature, catalysts, and surface area of reactants.
- Reaction mechanisms are the step-by-step processes of chemical reactions.
Organic Chemistry
- This branch focuses on carbon-containing compounds, which form the basis of many biological molecules.
- Types of organic compounds include:
- Alkanes (single bonds), alkenes (double bonds), alkynes (triple bonds).
- Functional groups determine the properties of organic molecules.
Nuclear Chemistry
- This branch studies the structure and properties of atomic nuclei and radioactive processes.
- Radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion are important applications in nuclear chemistry.
