Study Notes

Ionic and Covalent Bonding

Charge balance is crucial; total positive charges must equal total negative charges in ionic compounds.
Sodium (Na) contributes one electron while Fluorine (F) accepts it; visual representation uses dots (F) and crosses (Na).
Ionic structures involve electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions, creating a strong intermolecular force.
Giant ionic crystal lattice forms a three-dimensional structure, where ions alternate in arrangement.

Covalent Bonding

Covalent bonds result from the sharing of valence electrons between two non-metal atoms, with each atom providing one electron.
The bond is a strong attraction between an atom's nucleus and the shared electron pair.
Molecules form from covalent bonding to achieve a stable noble gas electron configuration with a full shell.

Molecular Structures

Simple molecules have small discrete structures; strong covalent bonds hold atoms together while weak intermolecular forces hold different molecules together.
Macromolecules possess a giant covalent structure, consisting of a large network of atoms linked by strong covalent bonds.

Allotropes of Carbon

Diamond: Each carbon atom forms four strong covalent bonds in a tetrahedral structure, resulting in remarkable hardness.
Graphite: Carbon atoms are arranged in layers with hexagonal rings; strong in-layer covalent bonds but weak intermolecular forces allow layers to slide.

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

Composed of silicon and oxygen atoms; silicon bonds with four oxygens, and each oxygen connects to two silicon atoms.
Common forms include sand and quartz.

Acid Strength and Concentration

Acid concentration refers to the amount of acid dissolved in a solvent; concentrated acids contain a large solute amount in a small volume.
Acid strength indicates the degree of ionization in water:
- Strong acids fully ionize, producing many H+ ions (e.g., hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric acids).
- Weak acids partially ionize, providing fewer H+ ions (e.g., ethanoic acid, citric acid).

Acid-Base Chemistry

Acids dissociate in water, while bases (metal oxides/hydroxides) lead to the release of hydroxide ions (OH-).
Strong alkalis fully dissociate in water, e.g., sodium hydroxide, while weak alkalis dissociate partially.
Alkalis have a bitter taste, soapy feel, and turn red litmus paper blue, with pH values above 7.

Neutralization Reactions

Alkalis neutralize acids, producing salt and water as byproducts.
In reactions with ammonium salts, alkalis also produce ammonia.

Salts and Preparation

Salts are ionic compounds formed when hydrogen ions in acids are replaced by metallic or ammonium ions.
Three methods to prepare salts:
- Precipitation for insoluble salts.
- Acid plus excess solid for soluble salts containing Group 1/Ammonium ions.
- Titration for soluble salts without Group 1/Ammonium ions.

Precipitation Method

Mixing two aqueous solutions forms an insoluble salt, which is filtered and washed.

Acid plus Excess Solid

Required for preparing soluble salts, ensuring complete reaction with the acid.

General Wave Properties

Waves transfer energy without the physical transport of matter.
Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to energy transfer (e.g., electromagnetic waves).
Longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to energy transfer (e.g., sound waves).

Sound Propagation

Speed of sound varies in different media: approximately 300-340 m/s in air, 1500-1600 m/s in liquid, and 5000-6000 m/s in solids.
Increased temperature and lower density in air enhance sound transmission speed.

Reflection of Sound

Echoes occur when sound reflects off hard, flat surfaces, often perceived softer due to energy loss during reflection.
