Study Notes
States of Matter
- Matter exists as solids, liquids, and gases.
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with particles tightly packed and vibrating.
- Liquids take the shape of their container but have a fixed volume, with particles moving freely.
- Gases have no fixed shape or volume, with particles moving rapidly.
- Changes of state (e.g., melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation) occur due to energy transfer.
- Temperature remains constant during phase changes (melting and boiling).
Melting Point Graphs
- Melting or boiling point graphs show temperature changes during heating.
- A flat section appears during changes of state (phase changes), where energy is used to break bonds rather than raise temperature.
The Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements by atomic number.
- Elements in the same column (group) have similar chemical properties.
- Elements in the same row (period) have increasing atomic numbers.
- Metals are predominantly on the left of the table, non-metals on the right.
- Group 1 (alkali metals) are highly reactive.
- Group 7 (halogens) are reactive non-metals.
- Group 0 (noble gases) are unreactive.
Element Case Study: Oxygen (O₂)
- Oxygen (O₂) is a non-metal gas critical for respiration and combustion.
- It is present in water (H₂O) and the atmosphere.
Atoms, Elements, Compounds, and Molecules
- Atoms are the fundamental units of matter.
- Elements are substances composed of only one type of atom.
- Compounds form when two or more elements chemically combine.
- Molecules are groups of atoms bonded together.
Chemical Bonding
- Compounds are formed through chemical bonds.
- Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals (e.g., NaCl).
- Covalent bonding occurs between non-metals (e.g., H₂O).
- Chemical formulas represent element ratios in compounds.
Separating Elements from Compounds
- Elements can be extracted from compounds through chemical reactions.
- Electrolysis separates elements (e.g., splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen).
- Thermal decomposition (e.g., heating copper carbonate) is another method.
Mixtures vs. Compounds
- Mixtures are combinations of physically combined substances.
- Compounds are substances with chemically bonded elements.
- Mixtures retain component properties and are separable by physical methods (e.g., filtration, distillation).
- Compounds have properties different from their elements and require chemical reactions for separation.
- Air is an example of a mixture of gases.
- Water (H₂O) is an example of a compound.
