Study Notes
Physical Science - Light Elements
- Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: Process creating light elements
- Hydrogen and Helium: First light elements formed
- Rapid cooling: From 1032 to 109
- Quarks and Gluons: Condensed into nucleons, forming light elements
- Stellar Nucleosynthesis: Formation of heavy elements by fusion in stars
- Nebulas: Clouds of Hydrogen and Helium
- Protostar: Mass of Hydrogen and Helium
- Star element production: Stars produce elements up to Iron.
- Supernova nucleosynthesis: Explosive star death creating heavier elements
- Extreme temperatures and abundant neutrons: Key characteristics of Supernova explosions.
- Neutron capture: Neutrons are captured by nuclei, forming heavier elements.
Chemical Elements and Isotopes
- Isotopes: Forms of an element with the same atomic number but different atomic mass, or mass number.
- Stable Isotopes: Not radioactive
- Unstable Isotopes: Radioactive, decay emitting positrons and neutrinos to form new elements.
- Positrons: Same mass as electrons but positive charge
- Neutrinos: Massless and chargeless
Atomic Theory: From Ancient Greeks to Present
- Empedocles' Theory: Matter made of four fundamental substances.
- Democritus' Theory: All matter composed of indivisible atoms ('atomos')
- Aristotle's Theory: Expanded Empedocles' theory, adding his own ideas about the transformation of elements.
The Structure of the Atom
- John Dalton's Atomic Theory: Matter composed of atoms, all atoms of a given element are identical, compounds are formed by combining atoms, chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms.
- Four Main Concepts of Dalton's Atomic Theory: Listed
- Scientific Laws About Chemical Reactions: Law of Conservation of Mass and Law of Definite Proportions
- Joseph Louis Proust and Law of Definite Proportions: Detailed
- Joseph John Thomson (J.J. Thomson): Plum pudding model, discovered electrons
- Ernest Rutherford: Model atom with a positive nucleus containing most of its mass, discovered protons in his experiment
- Niels Bohr: Planetary model of the hydrogen atom
- James Chadwick: Discovered neutrons in the atomic nucleus
- Quantum Mechanical Model: Quantum, energy levels, orbitals
- Each sublevel contains a set of orbitals
- No orbital can contain more than two electrons
- Synthetic or Artificial elements: Atomic numbers 99-118, radioactive
- Radioactivity: Unstable nucleus breakdown
Bonding and Physical Properties of Matter
- Ionic Bond: Metal reacting with a nonmetal, electron transfer, cation (positive) and anion (negative) formation.
- Covalent Bonds: Sharing of electrons, nonmetal to nonmetal chemical bond, one, two, or three pairs of electrons may be shared
- Two types of Covalent Bond- non-polar and polar
- Metallic Bonds: Metallic cations attracted to delocalized electrons
- Covalent compounds: Low melting point, lack electrical conductivity when solid
- Ionic compounds: High melting point, solid form at room temperature, good electron conductors
Electronegativity and Polarity
- Electronegativity: Atom's tendency to attract electrons
- Electronegativity Trend: Increasing from left to right, decreasing from top to bottom
- Polarity: Uneven partial charge in a compound, resulting from differing electronegativities in atoms
- Polar Molecules (Dipoles): Electrons attracted to one atom in a molecule more than the other. Slightly positive and negative ends
- Nonpolar Molecules: Equal electronegativity values and electron sharing
- Intermolecular Forces: Determining factor of substance state, solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature.
Intermolecular Forces and Interactions
- Types of intermolecular forces: Ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, dispersion (London) forces
- Hydrogen Bonding: Special type of dipole-dipole interaction (hydrogen with electronegative atom)
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry: Measurement based on laws of chemical combination.
- Formula Mass/Molecular Mass: Based on ionic/covalent bonds.
- Mole: Counting unit of atoms/molecules (6.02 x 1023)
- Percentage Composition: Finding percentage of each element in a compound.
- Calculating Formulas: Determining elements and proportions of weights in experimental data.
- Empirical Formulas: Simplest ratio of atoms in a compound.
- Mole-to-Mole Conversion: Calculating moles of one substance from moles of another, using balanced equations.
- Moles-to-Grams Conversion: Converting between moles and grams of a compound
- Mass-to-Mass Conversion: Calculation between masses of substances, using molar masses and balanced reactions.
Rates of Chemical Reactions
- Collision Theory: Relationship between collisions and reaction rates
- Factors affecting rates: Concentration, particle size, temperature, catalysts
- Catalysts: speed up reactions
Limiting Reactant and Yield
- Limiting Reactant/Reagent: Reactant in short supply, limits product formation
- Excess Reactant/Reagent: Other reactant present in more than needed amount
- Theoretical Yield: Expected product amount based on calculations
- Actual Yield: Product amount produced in the experiment
- Percent Yield: Comparing actual and theoretical yield
