Study Notes
Geometry and Angles
- A figure formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint is called an angle.
- The measure conventionally defined as the ratio of a circular arc length to its radius is known as radian measure.
- The Latin word 'angulus' translates to 'corner' or 'angle'.
- The Greek word 'ἀγκύλος (ankylοs)' means 'bent' or 'curved'.
- The inclination of two lines that meet and do not lie straight relative to each other is called an angle of intersection.
Molecules
- A molecule is defined as a group of two or more atoms bonded together.
- A homonuclear molecule consists of atoms of one chemical element.
- In the kinetic theory of gases, individual gas particles are often referred to as molecules, regardless of their atomic composition.
- Ionic interactions do not typically result in the formation of discrete molecules.
- Modern investigation into the nature of molecules and their bonds began in the 19th century, with key developments in molecular theory.
- The term 'molecule' is frequently used in contexts that involve polyatomic ions, which are charged species composed of multiple atoms bonded together.
- The kinetic theory of gases relaxes the requirement that a molecule must contain two or more atoms by considering monatomic gases as individual molecules.
- Contributions to molecular physics or molecular chemistry have been refined over time by prominent scientists such as John Dalton, Amedeo Avogadro, and Dmitri Mendeleev.
