Study Notes
Classifications of Matter
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Matter can be classified based on its state and composition.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Temperature changes lead to transformations between these states.
Solid Matter
- Solids have tightly packed particles, retaining their shape due to limited particle movement.
- Atoms and molecules in solids vibrate but don't move freely.
- Solids have a fixed volume and shape.
- Examples of solids include ice, aluminum, iron, wood, salt, and diamond.
Crystalline and Amorphous Solids
- Crystalline solids exhibit long-range repeating patterns in their atomic or molecular arrangement.
- Examples of crystalline solids include table salt (NaCl) and diamond.
- Amorphous solids lack such long-range patterns.
- Examples of amorphous solids include graphite, rubber, glass, and plastic.
Liquid Matter
- Liquids have more loosely packed particles than solids.
- Particles in liquids move about while maintaining a fixed volume.
- Liquids flow and take the shape of their containers.
- They have a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
- Examples of liquids include water, oil, and gasoline.
Gaseous Matter
- Gases have loosely packed particles, lacking a defined shape or volume.
- Gas particles move freely relative to each other.
- Gases take the volume and shape of their containers, making them compressible.
Units of Measurement
- Units are standard quantities used for specifying measurements.
- Common systems of units include the English, Metric, and International System of Units (SI).
- The SI system is based on the metric system and is used by scientists.
Metric and SI Units for Measurement
- The metric and SI systems have specific units for each type of measurement.
- Length is measured in meters (m), volume in liters (L) or cubic meters (m3), mass in grams (g) or kilograms (kg), temperature in Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K), and time in seconds (s).
Meter: A Measure of Length
- Length is measured using a meter stick.
- The meter (m) is the unit of length in both the metric and SI systems.
- Centimeters (cm) are used for smaller lengths.
Kilogram: A Measure of Mass
- Mass measures the quantity of matter in an object.
- The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
- 1 kg equals 2.21 pounds (lb).
- 1 gram equals 1/1000 kg (10^-3 kg).
- Weight measures the gravitational pull on an object's mass.
Units for Volume Measurement
- Common units for volume include liters (L), milliliters (mL), and cubic meters (m3).
- 1 L equals 1000 mL.
- 1000 L equals 1 m3.
Volume Measurement Tools
- Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance.
Unit of Time Measurement
- Time is measured in seconds (s) in both the metric and SI systems.
- Days, hours, minutes, and seconds are also used.
Unit of Temperature Measurement
- Common temperature units include Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), and Kelvin (K).
- 0 K is absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature.
Temperature Conversion
- To convert °C to K: K = °C + 273.15
- To convert K to °C: °C = K - 273.15
- To convert °C to °F: °F = (1.8 × °C) + 32
- To convert °F to °C: °C = (°F - 32)/1.8
Prefix Multipliers
- The SI system uses prefix multipliers to modify standard unit values.
- Prefix multipliers make units larger or smaller.
- For example, a kilometer has a "kilo" prefix, indicating 1000 meters (10^3 m), while a millimeter has a "milli" prefix, representing 1/1000 meter (10^-3 m).
Modern Periodic Table
- The modern periodic table has 7 rows (called periods) and 18 columns (called groups or families).
- Each family has similar physical and chemical properties.
Classification of Elements in the Periodic Table
- Elements are categorized as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
Metals
- Metals are located on the lower left side and middle of the periodic table.
- They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
- They are solid at room temperature except for mercury (Hg), which is a liquid.
- They are malleable (pounded into flat sheets) and ductile (drawn into wires).
- They are often shiny.
- They tend to lose electrons during chemical reactions, forming cations (positively charged ions).
Nonmetals
- Nonmetals are on the upper right side of the periodic table.
- They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- They can be found in all three states of matter (gases, liquids, and solids).
- Nonmetals in the solid state are brittle, not ductile or malleable.
- They tend to gain electrons during chemical reactions, forming anions (negatively charged ions).
Metalloids
- Metalloids lie along the zigzag line separating metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
- They exhibit mixed properties of metals and nonmetals.
- They are solid at room temperature.
- They are semiconductors of electricity.
- They are poor conductors of heat.
Alkali Metals (Group 1A)
- Group 1A elements are alkali metals, highly reactive metals except for hydrogen.
- Examples include lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium.
Types of Chemical Equations
- Two types of chemical equations are used to represent chemical reactions: molecular equations and ionic equations.
- A molecular equation shows the formulas of compounds as though all substances exist as molecules.
- An ionic equation displays the strong electrolytes in the reaction as ions, not molecules.
- A net ionic equation only shows the ions that are directly involved in the chemical change.
Writing Net Ionic Equations
- Write a balanced molecular equation.
- Write the ionic equation showing strong electrolytes.
- Use solubility rules to determine if any precipitate forms.
- Cancel similar ions on both sides of the ionic equation to obtain the net ionic equation.
