Study Notes
Branch of Science
- Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the composition, structure, and properties of matter.
Properties of Matter
- Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Matter has weight and occupies space.
Avogadro's Contribution
- Avogadro's work relates to the quantity of particles in a gas.
- Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10²³, representing the number of particles in one mole.
Mole Concept
- A mole is a way to count small molecules, acting as a group measure.
- One mole of any substance has mass, occupies space, and represents a specific quantity.
- Units for measuring moles include moles, atoms, or grams.
Molecule and Atom Distinction
- Molecules consist of two or more elements and can exist in liquid state.
- Atoms are single elements as listed on the periodic table.
Formula Units
- Formula units are composed of two elements with distinct properties and usually exist in solid form.
Types of Bonding
- Metallic Bonding: Involves bonding between metals.
- Ionic Bonding: Involves the transfer of electrons, typically between a metal and a non-metal.
- Covalent Bonding: Occurs between non-metals where electrons are shared.
Molecular Mass and Atomic Mass
- Molecular mass is the total mass of all atoms in a molecule, expressed in grams, and is generally rounded.
- Atomic mass refers to the mass of individual atoms, also measured in grams.
