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.
