Study Notes
Phase Changes
- Melting: Transition from solid to liquid.
- Freezing: Transition from liquid to solid.
- Condensation: Gas or vapor converts to liquid.
- Evaporation: Liquid transforms into gas or vapor.
Temperatures and Points
- Melting Point: Specific temperature where solid becomes liquid.
- Freezing Point: Specific temperature where liquid turns into solid.
- Boiling Point: Temperature at which a liquid vaporizes at atmospheric pressure.
Mixtures and Separation Techniques
- Diffusion: Movement of particles from high to low concentration.
- Filtration: Method to separate insoluble solids from liquids.
- Filtrate: Liquid that has passed through a filter.
- Fractional Distillation: Process that separates liquids based on different boiling points.
Solutions
- Solute: Substance being dissolved in a solvent.
- Solution: Mixture created when solute dissolves in solvent.
- Solvent: Liquid that dissolves the solute.
Chemical Processes
- Galvanization: Protective coating of iron using zinc to prevent rusting.
Atomic Structure
- Atomic Number/Proton Number: Counts number of protons in an atom.
- Atom: Smallest unit of an element with distinct properties.
- Mass Number/Nucleon Number: Total of protons and neutrons in an atom.
- Nucleus: Core of an atom, housing protons and neutrons.
- Isotope: Variants of an element with the same protons but different neutrons.
Types of Matter
- Element: Pure substance consisting of one type of atom.
- Compound: Substance formed by chemical union of two or more different atoms.
- Mixture: Combination of different components not chemically bonded.
Periodic Table Organization
- Group: Columns indicating the number of electrons in the outer shell.
- Period: Rows indicating the number of electron shells in an atom.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic Bonding: Strong attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Covalent Bonding: Attraction formed by shared pairs of electrons and atomic nuclei.
- Metallic Bonding: Attraction between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons.
Particles and Molecules
- Ion: Charged particle from ionic bonding, unequal protons and electrons.
- Molecule: Neutral particle formed through covalent bonding.
Reaction Dynamics
- Rate of Reaction: Change in concentration of reactants/products over time; more frequent collisions yield a faster reaction.
- Catalyst: Substance that accelerates a reaction without altering itself; reduces activation energy.
- Enzyme: Biological catalyst, e.g., Amylase.
Mass and Moles
- Relative Formula Mass: Total atomic masses of elements in a compound.
- Mole: Amount of substance containing Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23) of molecules or atoms.
Energy Changes in Reactions
- Exothermic Reaction: Reaction that releases heat; indicated by negative ΔH.
- Endothermic Reaction: Reaction that absorbs heat; indicated by positive ΔH.
pH Scale and Bases
- pH: Scale from 0 to 14 indicating acidity, neutrality, or alkalinity of a solution.
- Base: Substance with pH above 7, reacting with acids to produce salts.
