    Study Notes

    Unit A: Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the branch of science that identifies substances, investigates their properties, and examines how they interact, combine, and change, ultimately forming new substances.

    Terms You Should Know

    • Matter: A physical substance that occupies space and has mass.
    • Energy: Power derived from chemical or physical resources.
    • State: A physical condition determined by molecular structure (solid, liquid, or gas).

    Physical Properties of Matter

    • Boiling Point/Condensation Point: The temperature at which a substance boils or condenses.
    • Freezing Point/Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance freezes or melts.
    • Malleability: The ability of a substance to be beaten or rolled into sheets without crumbling.
    • Ductility: The ability of a substance to be stretched without breaking.
    • State: Existence as a solid, liquid, or gas.
    • Crystal Formation: Crystalline appearance.
    • Magnetism: Magnetic attraction between objects.
    • Conductivity: Ability to conduct heat or electricity.
    • Solubility: Ability to dissolve.
    • Color: The color of the material.

    States of Matter

    • Solid: Molecules held in a fixed pattern.
    • Liquid: Molecules packed closely together, free to move.
    • Gas: Molecules widely separated.

    Chemical Properties of Matter

    • Ability to Burn: Combustion (flame, heat, light).
    • Flash Point: Temperature needed to ignite a flame.
    • Behaviour in Air: Tendency to degrade, react, or tarnish.
    • Reaction with Water: Tendency to corrode or dissolve.
    • Reaction with Acids: Corrosion, sometimes bubble formation.
    • Reaction with Heat: Tendency to melt or decompose.
    • Reaction to Red/Blue Litmus: Red-acid; blue-basic; no color change-neutral. Note: color change is a chemical property.

    Properties & Classification of Matter

    • Matter: Pure substances or mixtures.
    • Pure Substances: Elements or compounds.
      • Elements: Made up of one type of atom (e.g., gold, oxygen, diamond).

        • Suspensions: Particles dispersed throughout a fluid (e.g., sand and water).
        • Colloids: Particles suspended, cannot be filtered (e.g., gelatin, milk).

    Breaking It Down: Pure Substances

    • Pure substances contain only one type of particle and cannot be broken down into another substance by physical means.

    Matter Can Change

    • Chemical Changes: A chemical reaction forms new products. Examples include combustion, rotting, rusting, digestion, and boiling.
    • Physical Changes: Matter changes form. Examples include melting, shredding, chopping.

    Identifying Chemical Reactions

    • All chemical reactions are characterized by:
      • Formation of a new substance with new physical and chemical properties.
      • Release or absorption of energy.

    Ancient Chemistry

    • Metallurgy: The science of producing and using metals.
      • Annealing: Heating copper to make it stronger and less brittle.
      • Smelting: Separating metals from compounds by melting them.

    Food Chemistry

    • Development of food preservation techniques for human survival (e.g., cooking, freezing, drying, salting, smoking, spicing, fermenting).

    Atomic Theory

    • Our understanding of the atom has evolved over time with newly developed models incorporating new data.

    Idea 1: Spontaneous Generation

    • Who: Aristotle
    • The idea that living things can be generated from non-living matter.

    Idea 2: The Billiard Ball Model

    • Who: John Dalton
    • Matter is composed of atoms.
    • Atoms of the same element are identical.
    • Atoms are indivisible.
    • Atoms combine in fixed ratios to form compounds.

    Idea 3: The Raisin Bun Model

    • Who: J.J. Thompson
    • Atoms have a large positive charge.
    • Small negative charges are embedded within the positive charge.

    Idea 4: The Planetary Model

    • Who: Ernest Rutherford
    • Atoms are very tiny with a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.
    • Negative electrons orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun.

    Idea 5: The Bohr Model

    • Who: Niels Bohr
    • Electrons are arranged around the nucleus in specific orbits (energy levels).
    • Electrons can only exist in specific locations.

    Idea 6: The Quantum Mechanical Model

    • The modern model of the atom describes electron positions with probabilities.
    • Electrons tend to exist more frequently in certain regions around the nucleus (depending on energy level).
