Study Notes
Matter
- Definition: Anything that has mass and occupies space.
- States of Matter: Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- Properties: Physical properties are observed without changing composition (e.g., color, melting point). Chemical properties are observed when matter undergoes a chemical change (e.g., flammability).
Safety
- Always wear appropriate lab gear (goggles, gloves, lab coat).
- Know the location and proper use of safety equipment (fire extinguisher, eyewash station).
- Follow instructions precisely and handle chemicals with care.
- Never eat, drink, or taste substances in the lab.
Measurement
- Use standard units from the International System of Units (SI): meters (m), kilograms (kg), seconds (s), etc.
- Precision: How close measurements are to one another.
- Accuracy: How close measurements are to the true value.
Scientific Notation
- Used to express very large or small numbers.
- Format: a x 10b
Significant Figures
- Rules: Non-zero digits are significant; zeros between non-zero digits are significant; leading zeros are not significant; trailing zeros are significant if there's a decimal point.
- Calculations: Multiplication/Division: Result has the same number of significant figures as the value with the fewest significant figures; Addition/Subtraction: Result has the same number of decimal places as the value with the fewest decimal places.
Unit Conversion
- Use dimensional analysis.
- Conversion factors express equivalence between units (e.g., 1 inch = 2.54 cm).
- Set up conversions so units cancel out.
Lab Techniques
- Common Equipment: Beakers, test tubes, Bunsen burners, pipettes.
- Measuring Liquids: Use a graduated cylinder at eye level; read the meniscus.
- Handling Solids: Use a spatula or scoop.
Chemical vs. Physical Change
- Physical Change: Change in form, not composition (e.g., melting ice).
- Chemical Change: Formation of new substances (e.g., rusting iron).
Atom
- Basic unit of matter.
- Structure: Nucleus (protons (+) and neutrons (neutral)); Electrons (-) orbit around the nucleus.
Isotope
- Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
Electron
- Negatively charged subatomic particle.
- Found in energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus.
- Determines chemical properties and bonding.
Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS)
- Range of all types of electromagnetic radiation.
- Includes (in order of increasing wavelength): Gamma rays, X-rays, UV, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves.
Scientific Method
- Ask a question
- Do background research
- Form a hypothesis
- Conduct experiments
- Analyze data
- Draw conclusions
- Share results
Thermal Energy
- Energy related to temperature; the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
- Transfer: Conduction, convection, radiation.
Light Energy
- A form of electromagnetic radiation.
- Travels in waves and behaves as particles (photons).
- Visible spectrum: ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
Half-Life
- Time required for half of a radioactive substance to decay.
- Formula: Where N(t) is remaining amount, N0 is initial amount, t is time elapsed, and T1/2 is half-life.
Density
- Formula: Density = mass/volume.
Radioactive Decay
- Process where unstable nuclei emit radiation to become stable.
- Types: Alpha (α), Beta (β), Gamma (γ).
Electron Configuration
- Distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals.
- Rules: Aufbau Principle, Hund's Rule, Pauli Exclusion Principle.
Periodic Table
- Organized by increasing atomic number.
- Groups/Families: Vertical columns (similar properties).
- Periods: Horizontal rows.
- Key Features: Metals, nonmetals, metalloids.
- Trends: Atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity.
Physical Properties
- Characteristics observed without altering the substance's identity (e.g., color, density, melting point, boiling point, solubility).
Chemical Properties
- Characteristics that describe how a substance reacts to form new substances (e.g., combustibility, reactivity with acids).
Classification
- Elements: Pure substances made of one type of atom.
- Compounds: Substances composed of two or more elements chemically combined.
- Mixtures: Physical combinations of substances that can be separated by physical means (homogeneous or heterogeneous).
Lab Safety Rules
- Always wear appropriate protective gear.
- Avoid loose clothing and tie back long hair.
- Never work alone.
- Know the locations of the fire extinguisher, eyewash station, and safety shower.
- Report all accidents or spills immediately to the instructor.
Measuring Liquids
- Read at eye level and at the meniscus.
- Use pipettes for precise volume transfers.
Uncertainty in Measurement
- Use proper significant figures to express precision.
- Estimate one decimal place beyond the smallest marking on a measuring tool.
Exponential Decay
- Formula: N(t) = N0e-λt
- N(t): Remaining quantity at time t
- N0: Initial quantity
- λ: Decay constant
- t: Time elapsed
Weighted Average
- Formula: Weighted Average = Σ(wixi)/Σwi
- wi: Weight of each value
- xi: Value associated with each weight
Percentage Average
- Formula: Percentage Average = Σ(Percentage Weight * Weight)/ΣWeights
- Use when different percentages of different categories are to be combined
