Study Notes
Matter Classification and Separation
- Substance: A pure form of matter with a fixed composition.
- Element: A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means (e.g., gold, oxygen).
- Compound: A substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio (e.g., water, carbon dioxide).
- Mixture: Two or more substances physically combined in variable proportions; homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures do not.
Chemical vs. Physical Changes
- Chemical change: A change in which one or more substances are transformed into new substances with different properties (e.g., burning wood, rusting iron).
- Physical change: A change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not change its chemical composition (e.g., melting ice, dissolving sugar).
Significant Figures and Calculations
- Significant figures: Digits in a measured value that are known with certainty plus one uncertain digit. Follow rules for addition/subtraction and multiplication/division when rounding results to the correct number of significant figures.
- Precision: How close repeated measurements are to each other.
- Accuracy: How close a measurement is to the true value.
Density Calculations
- Density: Mass per unit volume (g/cm³ or g/mL); used to identify substances.
Scientific Notation
- Numbers in scientific notation are written as a coefficient multiplied by 10 raised to a power. Follow rules for calculations with scientific notation.
Metric Conversions and Dimensional Analysis
- Use dimensional analysis to convert between units, ensuring units cancel appropriately. Conversion factors are used to make conversions from one unit to another.
Atomic Structure and Isotopes
- Atomic number: The number of protons in an atom's nucleus. It defines the element.
- Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, hence different mass numbers.
- Atomic mass: The weighted average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.
- Protons, neutrons, and electrons: Protons and neutrons are in the atom's nucleus; the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the number of protons. Isotopic symbols display mass number/atomic number and element symbol.
Ions and Chemical Formulas
- Ions: Charged atoms (cations are positive, anions are negative).
- Chemical formulas: Represent the composition of compounds showing the ratio of elements.
- Naming chemical compounds: Use systematic rules for naming both ionic and molecular compounds
- Empirical vs Molecular formulas: Empirical formulas give the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound, while molecular formulas show the actual number of each type of atom in a molecule.
Moles and Atoms
- Mole (mol): A unit representing 6.02 × 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).
- Molar mass: The mass in grams of one mole of a substance.
- Use dimensional analysis to convert between moles and atoms or grams and moles.
Classifying Elements
- Elements can be classified as atomic (monatomic elements; e.g. Argon) or molecular (diatomic elements; e.g. Chlorine)
