Study Notes
Types of Crystals
- Rhombic Iodine and Monoclinic Sucrose are examples of distinct crystal structures.
- Six distinct crystal systems: Cubic, Tetragonal, Hexagonal.
Colloids
- Contain particles larger than those in solutions but smaller than in suspensions; e.g., milk.
- Tyndall Effect demonstrates light scattering by colloidal particles.
- Characteristics:
- Solubility varies (soluble in colloids, less so in suspensions).
- Optical activity, pH, color, and concentration all applicable.
- Examples include milk (colloid) and mud in water (suspension).
Properties of Matter
- Two categories: Extensive/Extrinsic and Intensive/Intrinsic properties.
- Extensive properties (e.g., volume, weight, pressure) depend on the amount of substance.
- Intensive properties (e.g., boiling point, temperature, color) are independent of the amount.
Physical Changes
- Involve phase changes without altering chemical composition.
- Example: Transition of liquid water to ice.
- Brownian Motion describes the random movement of particles in a fluid caused by collisions with molecules.
Changes in Matter
- Physical changes include melting (from liquid to solid), freezing (caused by cooling), and solidification (can occur from chemical reactions).
- Melting Point: Specific temperature at which a solid transitions to a liquid.
Chemical Changes
- Result in new substances through a change in chemical composition.
- Involves breaking and forming chemical bonds; e.g., 2H + O → H2O.
Solution Characteristics
- Solution: Uniform mixture of solute and solvent; e.g., salt in water.
- Solvent: Dissolves the solute, known as the "universal solvent" (water).
- Solute: The smaller amount of substance that is dissolved.
Types of Liquid Crystals
- Two main types:
- Smectic: Soap or grease-like properties.
- Nematic: Thread-like properties.
Suspensions
- Homogeneous dispersion where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas but are not dissolved.
- Example: Mud in water.
