Study Notes
Unit 3: Elements, Compounds, and Chemical Reactions
- Learning Outcomes:
- Compare elements and compounds, and how they are represented.
- Identify and write symbols of common elements and compounds.
- Name compounds given their formula and write formula given the name.
- Use symbols and chemical formulas to communicate information.
- Apply the law of conservation of mass to balanced equations.
- Interpret chemical formulas in terms of elements and ratios of atoms.
Main Contents
-
3.1 Elements and their Representation:
- Defines an element as a pure substance that cannot be broken down.
- Identifies some common elements and their symbols.
- Provides examples of common elements (metal and non-metal).
- Explains how element symbols are derived from names (capital letter, then smaller).
- Explains why some element symbols aren't one-letter names
-
3.2 Compounds and their Representation:
- Defines compounds as substances formed from chemically combining two or more elements.
- Explains how valence numbers relate to combining power of atoms.
- Explains how symbols are used to write the formula for simple binary compounds.
- Explains how polyatomic ions are written into the formula of compounds.
-
3.3 Simple Chemical Reactions and Equations:
- Defines chemical reactions as the transformation of reactants into products.
- Discusses how to identify signs that a chemical reaction is taking place (e.g., color change, gas evolution, temperature change, precipitate).
- States the law of conservation of mass (mass of reactants = mass of products).
- Describes steps (word equations, symbolic equations, balanced equations) for writing chemical reactions.
- Defines how to balance chemical reactions to comply with conservation of mass.
-
3.4 Uses of Chemical Reactions in Everyday Situations:
- Describes varied examples of chemical reactions found in daily life.
- Includes common examples such as fermentation, burning fuels, digestion
