Study Notes

Lesson 1: Lab Safety Rules

  • Never conduct an experiment without teacher approval and read all instructions beforehand.
  • Wear safety goggles at all times during experiments.
  • Dispose of liquid waste properly; do not pour it down the sink.
  • Place broken glass in the designated broken glass container.
  • Report all accidents immediately to the teacher.
  • Use only the prescribed amount of materials to minimize the risk of chemical reactions.
  • Do not smell or taste chemicals; they may be harmful.
  • Maintain a safe and orderly lab environment to prevent accidents.
  • Never leave an experiment unattended, ensure all materials are ready before starting.
  • Clean up spills and equipment thoroughly after each experiment.

Lesson 2: Observation and Inferences

  • Observations are made using the five senses to gather information, including notes and facts.
  • Observations can be:
    • Qualitative: Observations made without measurement; recorded without numerical values.
    • Quantitative: Observations made with measurement; recorded using numerical values.
  • Inference: Logical interpretations based on prior knowledge and observations.

Lesson 3: Particles in Solutions

  • Matter is made up of tiny particles with spaces between them.
  • Particles in solids are closely packed together with minimal space to move.
  • Particles in liquids have more space to move around than solids.
  • Particles in gases have significant space between them and move freely.
  • Particle movement increases with increasing temperature.
  • Different substances are composed of different types of particles.
  • Particles move in constant, random motion.
  • Particles attract each other's based on the state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas).

Lesson 4: Physical and Chemical Properties

  • Physical properties are observed or measured without changing the substance's composition.
    • Examples include color, luster, optical clarity, viscosity, hardness, malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, and temperature.
  • Qualitative properties are described without numerical values, relying on observations.
  • Quantitative properties are measured with numerical values.
  • A physical change does not alter the substance's composition but only its physical state.

Lesson 5: Chemical Properties

  • Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts with other substances to form new substances.
  • Chemical properties are evident during a chemical reaction and result in observable changes in the substance's composition.

Lesson 6: Periodic Table of Elements

  • Elements are arranged in a periodic table based on their atomic number.
  • Atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
  • Elements in the same group (vertical column) share similar chemical properties.
  • Elements in the same period (horizontal row) have increasing atomic numbers.

Lesson 7: Atomic Theories

  • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
  • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Different atomic theories, including those proposed by Democritus and Dalton, gradually evolved to the modern understanding of the atom.

Lesson 8: Isotopes and Atomic Structure

  • Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
  • Mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
  • Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom and are involved in chemical bonding.

Lesson 9: Molecules and Molecular Structure

  • Molecules are formed by the chemical bonding of two or more atoms.
  • Compounds like water, nitrogen, and oxygen are examples of molecules.

Lesson 10: Chemical Bonding

  • Atoms bond to achieve a stable electron configuration in their outer shells.
  • Three main types of chemical bonding are:
    • Ionic bonding: involves the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions with opposite charges.
    • Covalent bonding: involves the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable configuration.
    • Metallic bonding: present in metals, where valence electrons are delocalized and form a "sea" of electrons.
