Study Notes

States of Matter

Solids, liquids, and gases have distinct properties related to particle separation, arrangement, and motion.
Changes of state (melting, boiling, evaporating, freezing, condensing) are explained by kinetic particle theory.
Temperature and pressure significantly affect gas volume.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, explained by kinetic particle theory.
Relative molecular mass influences the rate of gas diffusion.

Atoms, Elements, and Compounds

Elements, compounds, and mixtures differ in their compositions.
Atoms have a nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons in shells.
Protons, neutrons, and electrons have specific relative charges and masses.
Proton number (atomic number) defines the number of protons.
Mass number (nucleon number) is the total of protons and neutrons.
Electronic configurations, up to 20 protons, describe electron distribution in shells; e.g., 2,8,3.
Noble gases (Group VIII) have full outer electron shells.
Group number indicates the number of outer shell electrons (Groups I to VII).
Period number corresponds to the number of occupied electron shells.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same proton number but different neutron numbers. This results in similar chemical properties.
