Study Notes
Chemistry Basics
- Chemistry is the science of matter's composition, structure, properties, and behavior under various conditions.
- Organic chemistry focuses on substances containing carbon.
- Inorganic chemistry studies substances that do not contain carbon but may include hydrogen.
Matter and Its Forms
- Matter is any substance that occupies space and has mass.
- An element is the simplest chemical matter that cannot be simplified without losing identity.
- Atoms are the smallest units of an element and cannot be divided into simpler substances through ordinary chemical means.
- Molecules are combinations of two or more atoms in fixed proportions.
Types of Molecules
- An elemental molecule consists of two or more atoms of the same element.
- Compound molecules (or compounds) are combinations of atoms from different elements in fixed proportions.
States and Properties of Matter
- Matter exists in three physical states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Physical properties can be assessed without chemical reactions, while chemical properties require a chemical change.
- A physical change alters the form or properties of a substance without creating a new one; a chemical change involves a change in composition.
Chemical Changes and Reactions
- Oxidation is a type of chemical change, such as altering hair color.
- Oxidation-reduction (redox) involves reactions where oxidizing agents lose oxygen and reducing agents gain it.
- An oxidizing agent releases oxygen; hydrogen peroxide is an example.
- A reducing agent adds hydrogen to a substance or removes oxygen.
Reactions and Mixtures
- Reduction is a reaction process where oxygen is removed or hydrogen is added.
- Exothermic reactions release heat during chemical processes.
- Combustion is a rapid oxidation reaction producing heat and light, such as lighting a match.
- A pure substance is a chemical combination with fixed proportions, while a physical mixture combines substances in any ratio, retaining their individual properties.
Solutions
- A solution is a stable mixture of two or more substances.
- The solute is the substance being dissolved, while the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute to form a solution.
