Study Notes
Properties, Changes, and Observations
- Physical change: A change in form or shape, but not chemical makeup.
- Chemical change: A change where a new substance or molecule forms. Indicators include color change, bubble formation, temperature change, combustion.
- Physical property: A feature describing how a substance exists at a given temperature (e.g., color, texture).
- Chemical property: A feature describing how a substance reacts (e.g., flammability, reactivity with acids).
- Intensive property: A property that remains consistent regardless of the amount of substance.
- Extensive property: A property that changes with the amount of substance.
- Observation: The basis of science; noting and recording what is seen, heard, smelled, felt, or tasted. Focus on what happens, not why.
- Qualitative observation: Descriptive (color, feel, size).
- Quantitative observation: Based on numbers.
Naming and Formulas for Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compound formulas: Determine charges of ions, then balance the charges. Example: Li₂O, FeSe, Mg(OH)₂
- Ionic compound names: Name the cation first, indicate oxidation state if multivalent, then name the anion. If the anion is a polyatomic ion, do not change the ending. If the anion is a single element, change the ending to "-ide."
Acids
- Acids: Compounds releasing hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution (aqueous state).
- Acid formulas: Often start with "H" or end in "COOH."
- Acid naming (no oxygen): Hydro- + root name + -ic acid (e.g., H₂S – hydrosulfuric acid)
- Acid naming (with oxygens): Root name of polyatomic ion, "-ate" ending becomes "-ic acid," "-ite" ending becomes "-ous acid" (e.g., H₂SO₄ – sulfuric acid, H₂SO₃ – sulfurous acid).
Hydrates
- Hydrates: Compounds trapping water in their crystal structure (e.g., NiCl₂ • 2H₂O – Nickel(II) chloride dihydrate).
Atoms
- Atom: Tiny piece of matter, comprising a nucleus and electron cloud.
- Nucleus: Dense center containing protons and neutrons.
- Proton: Particle with +1 charge and 1 amu mass, determining the element.
- Neutron: Particle with neutral charge and 1 amu mass.
- Electron cloud: Space where electrons are found, virtually no mass, -1 charge.
- Atomic number: Number of protons.
- Atomic mass/mass number: Number of protons + neutrons (whole number).
- Neutral atom: Protons = electrons.
- Ion: Charged particle, electron loss or gain.
- Isotope: Atoms of same element, different number of neutrons.
- Atomic Orbital: Spaces around an atom where electrons are likely to be found.
Electron Configurations
- Electron configurations: Electrons fill orbitals from lowest to highest energy levels.
- Degenerate orbitals: Orbitals with the same energy.
- Shell Filling Order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p ...
- Electron configuration notation: Shows which subshells contain electrons (e.g., Carbon: 1s²2s²2p²).
- Core notation: Using noble gas symbol to represent inner electrons (e.g., Manganese: [Ar] 4s²3d⁵).
Ions
- Valence electrons are removed/added first, then s electrons, then d electrons for positive ions.
- Negative ions add electrons. This changes their electron configuration.
Bonds
- Covalent bonds: Electrons shared between atoms.
- Polar covalent bonds: Unequal sharing of electrons due to electronegativity differences.
- Ionic bonds: Complete transfer of electrons.
- Electronegativity: Ability to attract electrons.
Molecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces: Forces holding molecules together in liquids and solids.
- Dipole-dipole forces: Attraction between polar molecules.
- Hydrogen bonding: Special dipole-dipole force in molecules with H-O, H-N, or H-F bonds.
- London dispersion forces: Temporary dipoles in all molecules due to electron cloud fluctuations.
Measurement and Significant Figures
- Measurement Uncertainty: All measurements have some degree of uncertainty; estimate the last digit reported.
- Significant Figures: Indicate how well a number is known. Rules for determining significant figures
Moles
- Mole: Unit for counting atoms/molecules (Avogadro's number = 6.02 x 10²³).
- Molar mass: Mass of 1 mole of a substance, found on the periodic table.
- Molar mass conversion: Use for converting between moles and grams.
- Molar volume (STP): 22.4 L/mol for any gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
Solution Concentration
- Concentration: Amount of solute per unit volume (e.g., molarity = moles/liter).
- Dilution: Changing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical Reactions: Breaking and forming of bonds, changing chemical potential energy.
- Reaction Types: Synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, neutralization, combustion.
- Chemical Equations: Balancing equations to maintain atom conservation.
- Exothermic reaction: Energy released as a product (enthalpy is Negative).
- Endothermic reaction: Energy absorbed as a reactant (enthalpy is Positive).
- Stoichiometry: Using balanced equations to calculate reactant/product ratios.
- Limiting Reactant: Reactant used up first, controls product yield.
- Percent Yield: Comparing actual yield to theoretical yield.
Solution Properties
- Aqueous Solutions: Substances dissolved in water.
- Ionic Solutions: Dissolve into separate ions and conduct electricity.
- Molecular Solutions: Do not form ions, do not conduct electricity easily.
- Solubility: Ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
- Precipitate: Insoluble solid formed in a reaction of different aqueous solutions.
pH and Titration
- pH Scale: Logarithmic scale measuring acidity (0-14). Lower pH means more acidic.
- Titration: Analytical technique to precisely determine the concentration of a solution.
Organic Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry: Study of carbon-based molecules.
- Alkanes: Carbon chains with single bonds.
- Substituent groups: Groups attached to the main carbon chain.
