    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Three states: solids, liquids, and gases
    • Particle arrangement: solids – tightly packed, vibrating; liquids – close, random motion; gases – widely spaced, free movement
    • Energy transfer: melting/boiling – energy from surroundings; freezing/condensing – energy to surroundings
    • Particle model limitations: doesn't account for forces between particles or their non-spherical nature

    Melting and Boiling Points

    • Melting point: temperature stops rising until all solid melts
    • Melting process: enough energy breaks forces between particles
    • Boiling point: temperature remains constant as energy transfers
    • Cooling effects: particles move closer, leading to condensation and freezing
    • Sublimation – some solids directly change to gases without melting

    Compounds and Bonds

    • Compounds: formed when elements chemically combine
    • Ionic bonds: electron transfer between metals and non-metals
    • Positive ions (cations): atoms lose electrons (e.g., Na⁺)
    • Negative ions (anions): atoms gain electrons (e.g., Cl⁻)
    • Dot and cross diagrams: show electron transfer in ionic bonding
    • Noble gases: stable electron arrangements, unreactive
    • Mixing vs. reacting: mixing doesn't change composition, reacting does
    • Electron structures: crucial for ion formation
    • Group 1 & Group 7 reactivity: Group 1 loses electrons, Group 7 gains electrons
    • Stability: Atoms react to achieve stable electron configurations
      • Group 1 ions: form 1+ ions
      • Group 2 ions: form 2+ ions
      • Group 3 ions: form 3+ ions
      • Group 5-7 ions: form 3-, 2-, and 1- ions respectively
      • Group 0 elements: do not form ions

    Ionic Compounds

    • Ionic compounds: held together by strong electrostatic attraction (ionic bonding) between oppositely charged ions
      • Ion formation: metals form positive ions, nonmetals form negative ions
    • Giant ionic structures: large numbers of ions in a repeating pattern
    • Properties: high melting/boiling points, conduct electricity when molten or dissolved (not in solid form), typically hard and brittle
    • Examples: MgO, CaCl₂, NaCl, etc.
      • Lattice structure: 3D arrangement of ions
      • Electrical conductivity in different states (solid, molten, dissolved)

    Covalent Compounds

    • Covalent bonds: atoms share electron pairs to achieve stability
    • Simple molecules: molecules like H₂, O₂, N₂
      • Bond types: single, double, triple bonds
    • Examples: H₂O, NH₃, CH₄ (methane)
    • Properties of simple molecular compounds: low melting/boiling points, non-conductors of electricity, various shapes.
    • Intermolecular forces: weak forces between molecules influencing properties like melting and boiling points
    • Giant covalent structures: very hard substances (e.g., diamond, each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds making it exceptionally hard)

    Polymers

    • Polymers: long chains of small reactive molecules bonded together
    • Example: polyethylene (from ethene molecule)

    Fullerenes and Graphene

    • Fullerenes: carbon molecules forming hollow cages (e.g., C60, Buckyball)
    • Graphene: single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice
    • Properties: high tensile strength and electrical conductivity
    • Applications: in specific cases like drug delivery, lubricants, catalysts, and flexible displays, etc.

    Metallic Compounds

    • Giant metallic structures: regular arrangement of metal atoms
    • Delocalized electrons: free to move throughout the structure
    • Properties: high melting/boiling points, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity
    • Alloys: mixtures of metals, often harder than pure metals
      • Different sized atoms distort layers, hindering sliding, improving strength.
      • Examples of metals: copper (good electrical conductivity)

    Nanoscience

    • Nanoscience: study of structures on a nano-scale (1-100 nm).
    • Nanoparticles: particles with nano-scale dimensions
    • High surface area to volume ratio (SA:V): leads to high reactivity compared to larger particles
    • Applications of nanoparticles: drug delivery, cosmetics, catalysts, electronics, and more.
    • Potential health risks: possible effects from entering bloodstream through cosmetic products.
    • Examples and their applications: drug delivery systems (e.g., cancer), sunscreens (e.g., higher UV protection), and more.
