Study Notes
Physics
- Physics studies matter, its motion, behavior in space and time, and related concepts like energy and force.
- Key areas include:
- Classical mechanics: Describes macroscopic object motion, including Newton's Laws.
- Thermodynamics: Studies heat, work, and temperature relationships.
- Electromagnetism: Explores electric & magnetic phenomena and their connections.
- Optics: Focuses on light and its properties.
- Quantum mechanics: Examines matter and energy at atomic and subatomic levels.
- Fundamental forces: Gravity, electromagnetism, weak force, and strong force.
- Key concepts:
- Energy: Capacity for work.
- Force: Push or pull that alters motion.
- Momentum: Tendency for moving objects to continue in a given direction and speed.
- Work: Energy transferred by a force on an object.
- Physics uses math models and equations to describe phenomena.
Chemistry
- Chemistry studies matter's composition, structure, properties, and reactions.
- Key branches:
- Organic chemistry: Focuses on carbon-containing compounds.
- Inorganic chemistry: Studies non-carbon-containing compounds.
- Physical chemistry: Applies physics principles to chemistry.
- Analytical chemistry: Develops methods to identify and quantify substances.
- Matter is made of atoms, elements' basic building blocks.
- Elements cannot be broken down chemically.
- Compounds form from multiple elements combined in fixed ratios.
- States of matter (solid, liquid, gas) differ in properties and behavior.
- Chemical reactions rearrange atoms to form new substances.
- Key concepts:
- Atomic structure: Arrangement of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Chemical bonding: Forces holding atoms together.
