Study Notes
General Chemistry Concepts
- Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties, the changes it undergoes, and the energy associated with those changes.
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter. They consist of a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) and electrons orbiting the nucleus.
- Elements are pure substances composed of only one type of atom.
- Compounds are substances formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements in a fixed ratio.
- Molecules are groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
- Chemical reactions are processes in which substances (reactants) are transformed into new substances (products).
Atomic Structure and Periodic Table
- The periodic table is an arrangement of elements based on their atomic number (number of protons) and recurring chemical properties.
- Atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
- Mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all isotopes of an element.
- Groups on the periodic table are vertical columns and contain elements with similar chemical properties.
- Periods on the periodic table are horizontal rows and show trends in properties as the atomic number increases.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonding involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
- Metallic bonding involves the attraction between positively charged metal ions and a "sea" of delocalized electrons.
States of Matter
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
- Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- Moles are a unit of amount of substance.
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
- Mole ratios are used to determine the quantities of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation.
Chemical Reactions
- Precipitation reactions result in the formation of an insoluble solid.
- Acid-base reactions involve the transfer of protons.
- Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons.
- Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of a solution.
