    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Gases have no particle connections and are in constant, random motion.
    • Gases exist at higher temperatures than solids and liquids.
    • Heating increases particle motion, causing solids to melt into liquids and liquids to evaporate into gases.
    • Cooling decreases particle motion, leading to gases condensing into liquids and liquids freezing into solids.

    Atomic Structure

    • Matter consists of 118 elements, with atoms as the smallest units retaining element properties.
    • Atoms comprise protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge).
    • Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons occupy outer electron shells.
    • The identity of an element is defined by its number of protons, referred to as the Atomic Number.

    Electron Shells

    • Electron shells have specific capacities: 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second shell, and 18 in the third shell.
    • The outermost shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons for stability, except hydrogen and helium, which can hold 2.

    Compounds and Seawater

    • Water (H2O) is a compound made of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom.
    • Compounds exhibit different properties from their individual elements.
    • Seawater is a mixture containing various substances such as water, sodium chloride, carbon dioxide, and glucose.

    Atomic Bonding

    • Atoms bond to achieve stable outer electron configurations, mainly by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons.
    • Covalent bonds form when atoms share electron pairs to fill outer shells.
    • Water is an example of a covalent molecule, with oxygen sharing electrons with hydrogen to complete their outer shells.

    Chemical Formulas and Representations

    • Coefficients indicate the number of molecules, while subscripts denote the number of atoms in a molecule.
    • Covalent bonds can be illustrated through dot and cross diagrams or line diagrams showcasing shared electrons.

    Ionic Bonds

    • Ionic bonds occur when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve full outer shells, resulting in positive (cation) or negative (anion) ions.
    • Ionic bonds form through the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
    • Sodium (Na) transfers an electron to chlorine (Cl), resulting in the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl) through ionic bonding.

    Crystal Lattices

    • Ionic compounds form large crystal lattice structures due to the repeating arrangement of cations and anions, exemplified by sodium chloride and calcium carbonate.
