    Study Notes

    Chemistry, the Particle Nature of Matter

    • Chemistry is the branch of science that studies matter, its properties, composition, characteristics, structural changes, and the energy released during such changes.
    • The five branches of chemistry are: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry.
    • Organic chemistry focuses on the study of carbon and its compounds, including the chemistry of life.
    • Inorganic chemistry investigates compounds not covered by organic chemistry, specifically those that do not contain a carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond.
    • Analytical chemistry involves the study of matter and the development of tools to measure its properties.
    • Physical chemistry uses physics principles to study chemistry, often applying thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
    • Biochemistry studies chemical processes within living organisms.

    Matter

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
    • "Materia" (Latin) means material or stuff.
    • Energy is not matter.

    Physical Properties of Matter

    • A physical property is observable or measurable without changing the substance's identity.
    • Examples include viscosity (resistance to flow), conductivity (ability to transmit heat or electricity), malleability (ability to be hammered into a sheet), melting point, boiling point and density (mass compared to volume), solubility (ability to dissolve in another substance).

    Two Common Separation Points

    • Filtration separates materials based on particle size.
    • Distillation separates substances based on boiling points.

    Measurable Properties

    • Mass: the amount of matter. Used with a triple beam balance or scale.
    • Weight: the pull of gravity on an object. Units are grams or kilograms.
    • Volume: the amount of space an object occupies. Measured differently for regular solids (using dimensions), irregular solids, and liquids (using graduated cylinder).

    Chemical Properties of Matter

    • A chemical property describes a substance's ability to undergo a change and form a new substance with different properties.
    • Examples include flammability (ability to burn in the presence of oxygen) and reactivity.

    Chemical Properties Table

    • A table showing physical and chemical properties of different substances.

    The 5 Physical States of Matter

    • Bose-Einstein condensate: Exists at extremely low temperatures, particles are locked together and move as a single unit.

    • Solids: Particles are tightly packed, fixed positions, definite shape and volume. Particles vibrate but do not move.

    • Liquids: Particles are closely packed but able to move around. Have a definite volume but no definite shape.

    • Gases: Particles are widely spread with high kinetic energy. They move freely and have no definite shape or volume.

    • Plasma: Exists at extremely high temperatures. Particles are broken apart and move with high energy.

    Kinetic Molecular Theory

    • All matter is composed of atoms and molecules in constant motion.
    • The energy of this motion is dependent on temperature.

    Classification of Matter by Composition

    • Pure substances: Composition does not change, single type of atom or molecule.
    • Mixtures: Two or more types of atoms or molecules combined in variable proportions which give different properties.
      • Elements: pure substances that cannot be broken down.
      • Compounds: pure substances which can be decomposed into simpler substances.
      • Homogenous Mixtures: uniform composition
      • Heterogenous Mixtures: uneven composition

    Building Molecules/Compounds

    • Molecules are formed when atoms bond together.

    • Compounds are substances containing two or more different types of atoms.

    • Compounds are molecules.

    Phase Changes

    • Phase changes involve a change in state (solid, liquid, or gas) and involve the absorption or release of energy.

    Melting Point/Boiling Point

    • Substances change state at specific temperatures (temperatures at which matter changes phase) Melting point: solid to liquid, Boiling point: liquid to gas. Melting point and boiling point are tabulated.

    Changes of State

    • Melting: solid to liquid
    • Freezing: liquid to solid
    • Vaporization: liquid to gas (e.g., evaporation, boiling)
    • Condensation: gas to liquid
    • Sublimation: solid to gas
    • Deposition: gas to solid

    History of Atomic Theory

    • Leucippus and Democritus (450 BCE): Proposed the idea of atoms as indivisible units.
    • John Dalton (1803): Developed atomic theory with postulates about atoms.
    • Joseph John Thomson (1904): Discovered the electron and proposed the plum pudding model of the atom.
    • Ernest Rutherford (1911): Discovered the atomic nucleus and proposed a nuclear model of the atom.
    • Niels Bohr (1913): Developed a planetary model of the atom, with quantized energy levels.
    • Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg (1920s): Developed the quantum mechanical model of the atom, which describes electrons as wave-like functions.

    Isotopes

    • Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons thus different mass numbers.

    Periodic Table

    • Elements are organized in a table based on their properties.

    • Chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.

    • Elements with similar properties are grouped together.

    • Trends within the periodic Table exist like atomic size, metallic character, reactivity; electronegativity; and ionization energy.

    Quantum Numbers

    • Set of numbers describing electron properties such as energy level, shape, orientation, and spin.
    • Four quantum numbers are needed to specify an electron- Principal, azimuthal, magnetic and spin.

    Orbitals

    • Region within an atom where an electron is most likely to be found.
    • Each orbital can hold at most two electrons with opposite spins.

    Electronic Configuration

    • Arrangement of electrons in an atom. Based on aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule.

    Radioactive Isotopes

    • Different isotopes of an element and the uses of radioisotopes such as Calcium-47, Chromium 51,lodine -131, and Copper 67 in medicine.
