Study Notes
Solutions and Mixtures
- Solutions are homogenous mixtures of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent.
- Examples include sodas, seawater, air, and metal alloys.
- Solutions cannot visually differentiate their individual components.
- An ionic solute dissolved in a solvent dissociates into cations and anions.
- Solutions can be classified by the state of matter of solute and solvent:
- Solid-solid (e.g., bronze)
- Liquid-liquid (e.g., hand sanitizer)
- Gas-gas (e.g., air)
- Solid-liquid (e.g., sports drinks)
- Liquid-gas (e.g., sodas)
- Gas-solid (e.g., hydrogen gas and platinum)
- Heterogeneous mixtures have uneven distribution of constituent particles (e.g., sand and water).
- Suspensions are heterogeneous, separate into layers (e.g., sand in water).
- Colloids are heterogeneous, do not separate (e.g., milk).
- Mixtures have variable proportions of elements, making them impure substances.
Pure Substances
- Pure substances are made of one type of element or compound, for instance, table salt or water.
- Purity is measured, ideally 100%, but rarely achieved.
- Refining methods, like distillation, are used to improve purity.
- Pure substances have specific melting & boiling points.
- Conductivity can vary based on purity.
- Pure substances are predictable in chemical reactions.
Separation of Mixtures
- Mixtures are formed when two or more components are physically combined.
- Solutions and alloys are homogeneous mixtures (e.g., air, steel, saltwater, gasoline).
- Suspensions and colloids are heterogeneous mixtures (e.g., pizza, a bag of marbles, sandy water).
- Various physical methods separate mixture components (chromatography, distillation, evaporation, crystallization, filtration, magnetism, manual separation).
- Chromatography separates components based on different affinities for mobile and stationary phases.
- Retention factor (Rf) calculation: (distance traveled by component/distance traveled by solvent).
- Distillation separates mixtures based on differing boiling points.
- Evaporation/Crystallization separates mixtures based on vaporization.
- Filtration separates solids from liquids in heterogeneous mixtures.
- Dissolving, then separating, is useful for multiple component mixtures.
- Magnetism separates magnetic metals.
Atoms and Subatomic Particles
- Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons are positively charged, located in the nucleus, with a mass of 1 amu.
- Neutrons have no charge, located in the nucleus, with a mass of 1 amu.
- Electrons are negatively charged, outside the nucleus, with negligible mass.
- Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, unique to each element.
- Mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Atomic mass is the weighted average of isotopes' mass numbers.
The Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on atomic number (number of protons).
- Historical developments include Dobereiner's Law of Triads, Newlands' Law of Octaves, and Mendeleev's periodic table.
- Moseley arranged the modern periodic table based on proton number.
- Periods are horizontal rows, groups are vertical columns.
- Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
- Periodic trends predict element properties (e.g., valence electrons, atomic radius, ionization energy).
Metals
- Metals are shiny, hard, ductile, malleable, and good conductors.
- Five main metal groups: alkali, alkaline earth, transition, lanthanides, actinides.
- Alkali and alkaline earth metals are in the s-block.
- Transition metals are in the d-block.
- Lanthanides and actinides are in the f-block.
- Examples include iron, gold, silver, zinc.
- Low ionization energy leads to high reactivity.
- Metals form hydroxides, halides, and oxides.
- Transition, lanthanide, and actinide metals form complexes.
Metalloids
- Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
- Examples include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium (and sometimes bismuth, polonium, astatine).
- They are typically solids, have a metallic luster, are brittle, and are semiconductors.
- Properties (melting/boiling point, reactivity) vary.
- Their behavior depends on valence electrons and involved elements in reactions.
Nonmetals
- Nonmetals typically have high ionization energies and electronegativities.
- They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- Nonmetals are reluctant to give up electrons.
- Majority of nonmetals are gases at room temperature; some are solids, one is a liquid
- Nonmetals form covalent bonds when reacting with each other.
- Located on the right side of the periodic table (except hydrogen).
- Common nonmetal families: halogens, noble gases, some metalloids.
