Study Notes

Periodic Table and Atomic Structure

The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the elements, organized by atomic number and other chemical properties.
Atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
Atomic mass is the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.

Chemical Bonding and Molecules

Chemical bonding involves the interaction of atoms to form molecules.
Molecules are groups of atoms chemically bonded together.
Compounds are formed when two or more different elements combine.

Mixtures and Chemical Formulas

Mixtures are blends of two or more substances, where each substance maintains its chemical properties.
Chemical formulas represent the composition of a compound using chemical symbols and numbers.

Acids, Bases, and pH

Acids are substances that donate a hydrogen ion (H+).
Bases are substances that accept a hydrogen ion (H+).
pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.

Gas Laws

Boyle's Law: the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
Charles' Law: the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
Ideal Gas Law: a combination of Boyle's and Charles' Laws, relating pressure, volume, and temperature.

Gas Concentrations and Conversions

Concentrations of vapors, gases, and particulates can be expressed in various units.
Conversion factors can be used to convert between units of pressure, volume, and concentration.

Regulations and Standards

Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulates workplace safety and health.
