Study Notes

Introduction to Chemistry

  • Science is well-tested knowledge based on observations and experiments.
  • Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with matter, its composition, properties, and reactions.
  • Chemistry also deals with the study of matter's changes.

Atoms

  • Atom is the smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically.
  • Atoms consist of a nucleus (center) composed of protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) with electrons (negative particles) orbiting the nucleus.
  • Atoms are also classified by the number of protons they have.

Types of Molecules

  • Monatomic molecules: Made of a single atom, examples are noble gases.
  • Diatomic molecules: Made of two atoms of the same or different elements, e.g. N2, Cl2, HCl, NO, CO.
  • Polyatomic molecules: Made of more than two atoms, e.g., triatomic like H2O, SO2, O3; tetraatomic like BF3, SO3, NH3, P4.

Substances

  • Substances: Pure matter with uniform composition and a fixed melting and boiling point, classified as elements and compounds.
  • Elements: A substance made of atoms with the same atomic number.
  • Compounds: Two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions.

Mixtures

  • Mixtures: A matter composed of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
  • Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on their uniform composition.

Atomic Number and Mass Number

  • Atomic number (Z): The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
  • Mass number (A): The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
  • Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers due to differing neutron numbers (while having the same number of protons).

Chemical Symbols

  • Chemical symbols are shorthand representations of elements.
  • Elements are represented by one or two letters of their name, with the first letter capitalized.

Chemical Formulas

  • Chemical formula is a shorthand notation for compounds, showing the number of each type of atom.
  • Molecular formula represents the actual number of atoms in a molecule of a substance.
  • Empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound.
  • Structural formula represents the arrangement of atoms in a molecule.

Solutions

  • A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent.
  • A binary solution is a solution formed by mixing two substances.
  • Solute is the substance that dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture.
  • Solvent is the substance in which a solute dissolves to produce a homogeneous mixture.
  • Supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than a saturated solution at a temperature.
  • Dilute solution contains a small amount of solute.
  • Concentrated solution contains a large amount of solute.
  • Concentration is the amount of solute present in a given volume of solvent.

Acids, Bases, and Salts

  • Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solutions.
  • Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solutions.
  • Salts are substances formed by the reaction of an acid and a base.
  • There are different theories about acids and bases (Arrhenius, Lowry-Brønsted, and Lewis).

Electrolytes

  • Electrolytes are substances that allow electric current to pass through them in dissolved or molten state.
  • Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into ions in solution.
  • Weak electrolytes partially dissociate into ions in solution

Electrochemical Cells

  • Electrochemical cells are systems in which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy or electrical energy is converted into chemical energy.
  • Electrolytic cells use an external current to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction.
  • Galvanic cells produce an electric current from a spontaneous chemical reaction.

Water Cycle

  • Water is essential for life on Earth.
  • Water continuously circulates through the atmosphere, land, and bodies of water, via evaporation, condensation, precipitation/runoff, and infiltration.
  • Water is important for human survival (drinking water, agriculture).

Water Properties

  • Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end.
  • Water molecules can form hydrogen bonds and other molecules.
  • Water has high heat capacity, heat of vaporization, and surface tension.
  • Water exist in three states — solid, liquid and gas
  • Water's density is an unusual property.

Water Hardness

  • Hard water is water that does not readily produce lather with soap and contains dissolved minerals/cations.
  • Soft water is water that readily produces lather with soap.
  • There are two main categories of hard water (temporary and permanent) which can be softened via different processes

Urinalysis

  • Urinalysis is a medical test that examines urine for various substances.
  • Urinalysis helps diagnose or monitor different health conditions (e.g., urinary tract infections, diabetes, kidney disease).

Lipids

  • Lipids are hydrophobic organic compounds (fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, and waxes).
  • Lipids are an important structural component of cell membranes in living organisms.
  • Lipids store energy and provide insulation to the body.

Proteins

  • Proteins are polymers made of amino acids.
  • Proteins play many crucial roles.
  • Proteins are categorized by functions and shape.
