Bullet Points in Research
- Research is a systematic and organized inquiry aiming to discover new knowledge, establish facts, and reach new conclusions.
- Characteristics of Research:
- Systematic Process: follows a structured approach like identifying a problem, formulating a hypothesis, and drawing conclusions.
- Objective and Unbiased: research should be conducted objectively, minimizing personal bias.
- Replicability: methods and procedures should be documented in detail for repeatability.
- Empirical Evidence: knowledge should be based on observed and measured phenomena or experience.
- Purposes of Research:
- Exploration: to investigate areas with limited existing information.
- Description: to detail characteristics or functions of a phenomenon.
- Explanation: to understand causes and effects.
- Prediction: to forecast future occurrences based on current data.
- Postmodernism: analyzing how knowledge, ideas, and power relations are defined.
- Post-culturalism: a similar analysis, focusing on the impact of culture on knowledge and power.
Eastern Philosophy

- emphasizes the potential for personal transformation through contemplation.
Confucianism
- Confucianism: (East Asia, ca. 400 BCE)
- Focuses on the contemplation of the order of things, which can lead to self-transformation.
- May exhibit bias.
Bias
-
Bias: tendencies or influences that affect people's perspectives.
- Correspondence Bias (attribution effect): judging a person's personality based on their actions without considering external factors.
- Confirmation Bias: accepting information aligning with one's beliefs and rejecting contradictory information.
- Framing: focusing on specific aspects of a problem while neglecting others.
- Hindsight: seeing past events as predictable or identifying patterns in history.
- Conflict of Interest: a person or group has a stake in the issue under consideration.
- Cultural Bias: analyzing events or issues from the perspective of one's own cultural standards.
Holistic vs Partial
- Holistic: views things in their entirety, considering the whole as more than the sum of its parts.
- Partial: views things based on individual parts of a whole.
Inorganic Compounds
- Metals: elements on the left side of the periodic table, with a positive charge.
- Nonmetals: elements on the right side of the periodic table, with a negative charge.
- Metalloids: elements on the red part of the periodic table, exhibiting both positive and negative charges.
- Group Name & Ion Charge:

Ionic Bonding
-
Ionic Bonding: the transfer of electrons from a metallic atom to a nonmetallic atom.
- Type I Binary Compounds:
- First element (metal) is copied.
- Second element's name is cut and "-ide" is added.
- Example: NaCl → Sodium Chloride
- Type II Binary Compounds:
- Stock Method:
- First element (metal) and its ion charge are copied.
- Second element's name is cut and "-ide" is added.
- Example: CuCl2 → Copper (II) Chloride
- Classical Method:
- First element is derived from its Latin name and "-ous" or "-ic" is added.
- Second element's name is cut and "-ide" is added.
- Example: CuCl2 → Cuprous Chloride
- Covalent Bonding: occurs when atoms in a compound have similar tendencies to gain electrons, commonly between two nonmetals.
Naming Covalent Compounds
- Use the prefix system for the first element (omit "mono").
- For the second element, use the prefix system and replace the last letter with "-ide."
Naming Acids
- An acid is a molecular compound containing one or more hydrogen atoms.
-
Hydracids:
- Acid in Pure State: Copy "Hydrogen" and cut the second element's name, adding "-ide.
- Acid Name: Write "hydro-," cut the first element's name and add "-ic," followed by "acid."
- Example: HCl → Hydrogen Chloride → Hydrochloric Acid
- Oxyacids:
- Acid in Pure State: Copy "Hydrogen" and copy the name of the polyatomic ion.
- Acid Name: Cut and identify the polyatomic ion. If it ends in "-ate," replace it with "-ic"; if it ends in "-ite," replace it with "-ous," followed by "acid."
