Study Notes
Chemical Change and Matter
- Chemical change occurs when a substance undergoes a reaction, forming new substances with different chemical properties.
- Matter is anything occupying space and has mass, characterized by volume and weight.
States of Matter
- Solid: Particles are tightly packed, resulting in low kinetic energy. Solids have definite shape, mass, and volume.
- Liquid: Particles are loosely packed and can flow, giving liquids an indefinite shape but a definite volume.
- Gas: Particles are widely spaced, possess high kinetic energy, and have neither a definite shape nor volume, expanding to fill available space.
- Plasma: Composed of highly charged particles with extremely high kinetic energy; commonly found in stars.
Atomic Theory
- Proposes that all matter consists of discrete units called atoms.
- Atomic theory has evolved, enhancing understanding of matter.
Atomic Models
- John Dalton (1803): Proposed a solid sphere model where atoms are indivisible and identical for each element; compounds are combinations of atoms.
- J.J. Thomson (1904): Introduced the Plum Pudding model, depicting electrons scattered within a positively charged substance.
Contributions to Atomic Theory
- Henry Moseley: Established atomic number as the basis for ordering elements rather than atomic weight.
- Johann Döbereiner: Developed the Law of Triads, illustrating that the middle element's atomic weight is an average of the other two.
- John Newlands: Formulated the Law of Octaves, noting every eighth element shares similar properties when arranged by atomic weight.
- Lothar Meyer: Created a periodic table recognizing periodic relationships between atomic volumes and weights.
Key Definitions
- Valence Electrons: Determine an atom's chemical reactivity; similar valence electron numbers lead to similar behaviors.
- Electron Affinity: Energy change occurring when a gaseous atom gains an electron.
- Electronegativity: An atom's ability to attract and retain electrons.
The Periodic Table of Elements
- Dmitri Mendeleev: Arranged elements by increasing atomic mass, laying the groundwork for the periodic table's structure.
- Antoine Bequerel: First discovered radioactivity.
- Pierre and Marie Curie: Discovered the radioactive elements radium and polonium.
Classifications of Elements
- Metals: Generally shiny, dense, ductile (can be drawn into wires), malleable (can be hammered into sheets), and excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
- Actinides: Radioactive elements, many synthetic; uranium and thorium are prominent in nuclear energy.
Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (IMFA)
- Stronger IMFAs correspond to enhanced densities and reduced compressibility in solids, while gases exhibit weak IMFAs and are highly compressible.
Chemical Reactions
- Involve interaction among chemicals, resulting in new substances represented in chemical equations, with reactants on the left and products on the right.
- Stoichiometric coefficients indicate relative amounts of substances.
- Equilibrium Law describes the relationship between reactant and product concentrations at equilibrium, expressed as an equilibrium constant (K).
Concentrations of Solutions
- Weight/Weight Percent: Calculation determining the mass percent of a solute in a solution.
Important Equilibrium Constants
- Kc: Represents the concentration-based equilibrium constant for reactions in solution.
- Kp: Represents the equilibrium constant calculated using gas partial pressures.
