Study Notes

Foundation in Science

  • Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes.
  • Matter can be physically separated and exists in different forms.
  • A substance with a uniform and definite composition is classified as a compound or element.
  • Mixtures can be categorized into homogeneous (uniform composition) and heterogeneous (distinct, separate components).

Elements and Compounds

  • An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom with a fixed composition.
  • A compound consists of two or more atoms joined by chemical bonds, forming a distinct substance.

Atoms and Molecules

  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element with the properties of that element; atoms are very small and light.
  • Most elements exist as molecules, which are formed by two or more atoms bonded together.
  • Molecules can consist of atoms of the same element or different elements, exhibiting a range of properties.

Atomic Theory

  • Atoms and molecules can carry a net positive or negative charge.
  • The term "atom" comes from the Greek word “atomos,” meaning indivisible.
  • An early proponent of atomic theory formulated his ideas based on experimental observations, suggesting the fundamental existence of atoms.
