Study Notes

States of Matter

Solids have densely packed particles which cannot swap places, making them incompressible and rigid.
Liquids are densely packed with particles that can move and swap places, allowing them to flow but still be incompressible.
Gases have freely moving particles that collide but interact minimally.

Phase Changes

Melting is the transition from solid to liquid.
Freezing is the transition from liquid to solid.
A phase is a region of uniform physical properties.
Phase boundaries separate regions with differing physical properties.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Intensive properties are independent of sample size (e.g., temperature, density, melting point).
Extensive properties depend on sample size (e.g., mass, volume, energy).
Physical properties can be measured without changing the substance’s composition (e.g., color, odor, hardness, solubility).
Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts or changes (e.g., flammability, reaction with specific reagents, oxidizability).

Units of Measurement

The SI base units are: kilogram (kg), meter (m), second (s), Kelvin (K), mole (mol), Ampere (A), candela (cd).
Derived units include: volume (m³), density (g/cm³), molar mass (g/mol), force (N), pressure (N/m²), charge (C).

Amount of Substance, Mole, Molar Mass

1 mole of an object contains the same number of objects as there are atoms in exactly 12.000 g of ¹²C.
Avogadro's constant (NA) is the number of atoms in 12.000 g of ¹²C: 6.0221 x 10²³.
1 mole of any object contains 6.0221 x 10²³ of that object.
The molar mass (M) of an element is the mass (m) of one mole of its atoms.

Chemical Reactions and Reaction Equations

A chemical reaction involves the transformation of one or more compounds into different compounds, with energy being released or absorbed.
Chemical reactions can be represented by chemical equations.

Matter Waves

The equation relating matter wave wavelength (λ) to momentum (mv) is: λ = h/mv, where h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J s).
Smaller wavelengths are associated with higher energies.
Matter waves are more significant for smaller particles.

Quantum Mechanics

The Schrödinger equation describes the wave-like and particle-like nature of electrons.
Electrons are viewed as "standing waves" in quantum mechanics.
The solution to the Schrödinger equation is the wave function (Ψ).
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it's impossible to know both the position and momentum of an electron precisely.
The probability density (Ψ²) represents the likelihood of finding an electron in a given region of space.

Orbitals and Quantum Numbers

Each orbital can hold up to two electrons.
Electrons have a spin angular momentum, with possible values of +1/2 and -1/2 (represented as ↑ and ↓ respectively).
Each electron is described by four quantum numbers: n, l, ml, and ms (Pauli Exclusion Principle).

Occupation of Orbitals

Orbitals are filled in order of increasing energy (e.g., 4s before 3d).
Half-filled or fully filled electron shells are particularly stable, leading to exceptions in the Aufbau principle.

Coordination Chemistry

Metal complexes consist of a central metal ion surrounded by a group of ligands.
The central atom is a Lewis acid, often a transition metal ion, lanthanide, or actinide.
Ligands are Lewis bases, consisting of atoms or molecules that can donate electrons.
The coordinative bond (donor-acceptor bond) involves the ligand donating both electrons for bonding.
The coordination number indicates the number of ligands bonded to the central atom.
Donor atoms are the atoms within the ligands that bind to the central atom.
Bridging ligands connect more than one central atom.
Monodentate, bidentate, and polydentate ligands have one, two, or more potential donor atoms, respectively.
