    Study Notes

    Chapter 5: Memorization and Background Info

    • Physical Property: A characteristic observed or measured without changing the substance (e.g., color, shape, texture, density)
    • Chemical Property: Describes how a substance changes into a different substance, showing how it reacts with other substances (e.g., combustibility, reactivity)
    • Physical Change: A substance remains the same, even if its state or form changes, easily reversible (e.g., melting, boiling, freezing, condensation, sublimation)
    • Chemical Change: The original substance transforms into one or more different substances with different properties, difficult or impossible to reverse (e.g., burning, cooking, rusting)
    • Bohr-Rutherford diagrams: Visual representations of the first 20 elements, showing protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting around the nucleus
      • Group 1: Alkali Metals (soft, highly reactive metals)
      • Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals (light, reactive metals)
      • Group 17/7: Halogens (one of the most reactive groups)
      • Group 18/8: Noble Gases (stable, rarely react with other substances)
    • Polyatomic Ions: Groups of two or more atoms held together by ionic or covalent bonds, electrons can be shared or transferred
      • Ionic: Forms when a metal and a nonmetal come together
      • Covalent: Forms when two nonmetals share electrons to fill their outer shells (e.g., H2O)

    Chapter 6: Law of Conservation of Mass

    • Law of Conservation of Mass: Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass stays the same. Starting materials equal ending materials.
    • Synthesis: Two or more reactants combine to form a single compound product (Element + Element → Compound)

    Chapter 7: Acids and Bases

    • pH Scale: Measures acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14
      • Lower values (0-6) are more acidic; higher values (8-14) are more basic
      • A value of 7 is neutral (e.g., pure water)
    • Neutralization: Mixing acids and bases to cancel out their properties, forming water and salt as products (Acid + Base → Water + Salt)
    • Oxyacid: Acid containing hydrogen, oxygen, and another element, releasing H+ ions when dissolved in water. (e.g., sulfuric acid H2SO4)

    Chapter 11: Light

    • Light: A form of energy transferred through radiation, traveling in straight lines at high speed
    • Radiation: A method of energy transfer that does not require a medium.
    • Luminous: Produces its own light.
    • Non-luminous: Does not produce its own light. Types of light production include incandescent, electrical discharge, phosphorescence, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence

    Chapter 12: Refraction

    • Refraction: The bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.
    • The speed of light changes, and the angle changes when passing through a different medium.
    • Dispersion: The separation of colours (e.g., a rainbow) of light through refraction, caused by differing speeds and bending angles of different wavelengths.

    Other Topics

    • Index of Refraction: Ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a given medium. (n = c/v)
    • Biology: Detailed study of living things
    • Cell Theory: All living things are made of cells; all cells come from existing cells; cells are the basic unit of life.
