Study Notes

States of Matter

  • Solids have particles in fixed arrangements, with strong forces holding them together.
  • Solids have low kinetic energy and vibrate around fixed positions.
  • Liquids have particles spaced slightly further apart with intermediate forces between them.
  • Liquids vibrate more than solids and do not have fixed positions.
  • Gases have particles furthest apart with weak forces between them.
  • Gases have a high kinetic energy and do not have fixed positions.

Converting States of Matter

  • Melting: Solid to Liquid
  • Freezing: Liquid to Solid
  • Boiling/Evaporation: Liquid to Gas
  • Condensation: Gas to Liquid

Evaporation

  • Particles with the highest kinetic energy evaporate first.
  • The average kinetic energy of remaining particles decreases.
  • Closed container: Condensation and evaporation occur simultaneously.

Diffusion

  • Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
  • Happens down the concentration gradient.
  • A passive process (does not require energy).
  • Example: Ammonia diffuses faster than Hydrochloric acid, so the white ring in glass tubing forms closer to hydrochloric end due to the lower relative atomic mass of Ammonia.

Atoms, Elements, Mixtures, and Compounds

  • Atom: Smallest particle of a substance that can exist.
  • Element: Contains only one type of atom, cannot be broken down further chemically.
  • Compound: Two or more elements chemically combined; cannot be separated into their constituent elements.
  • Mixture: Two or more elements not chemically combined, can be separated into constituent components.

Periodic Table

  • The periodic table tells you about the atomic number, which is the number of protons found in an atom.
  • Atoms are neutral, so the atomic number also represents the number of electrons.
  • The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons.
  • Nuclear number is the total number of particles found within the nucleus (same as the mass number).
  • Group number corresponds to the number of electrons in the outer shell (e.g., group 1 has 1 electron in the outer shell).
  • Period number corresponds to the number of shells of electrons.
  • Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
  • Group 0 elements are called noble gases. They have full outer shells making them unreactive.
  • Elements on the left of the periodic table's step line are metals. Elements on the right are nonmetals.

Isotopes

  • Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
  • Example: Chlorine has isotopes with mass numbers 35 and 37, leading to an average mass number of 35.5.

Ions

  • Ions are charged particles formed by gaining or losing electrons.
  • Losing electrons makes the ion positive.
  • Gaining electrons makes the ion negative.
  • In ionic bonds, metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.

Ionic Bonding Diagrams

  • Draw the electronic configuration of each element involved.

  • Identify electrons that need to be transferred for full outer shells.

  • Draw final ions, showing full outer shells and charge (+ or −).

  • Example: Sodium Chloride

    • Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons, chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons.
    • Sodium loses one electron to Chlorine.
    • Final ions are Na+ and Cl−.
  • Example: Magnesium Fluoride

    • Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons, fluorine (F) has 9 electrons.
    • Magnesium loses two electrons, one to each fluorine atom.
    • Final ions are Mg2+ and 2F−.
  • Example: Aluminum Oxide

    • Aluminium (Al) has 13 electrons, oxygen (O) has 8 electrons.
    • Each aluminium loses three electrons, two going to one oxygen and one going to another.
    • Final ions are 2Al3+ and 3O2−.

Covalent Bonding Diagrams

  • Draw a central atom with the other atoms attached.

  • Connect atoms with shared pairs of electrons.

  • Ensure each atom has a full outer shell.

  • Example: Water (H2O)

    • Oxygen is central, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to it.
    • Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with oxygen.
    • Oxygen shares two electrons with each hydrogen atom, resulting in a full outer shell.
  • Example: Methane (CH4)

    • Carbon is central, with four hydrogen atoms bonded to it.
    • Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with carbon.
    • Carbon shares one electron with each hydrogen atom, resulting in a full outer shell.
  • Example: Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    • Carbon is central with two oxygen atoms bonded to it.
    • Each oxygen atom shares two electrons with carbon (double covalent bond).
    • Carbon shares two electrons with each oxygen atom, resulting in a full outer shell.
  • Example: Ethene (C2H4)

    • Two carbon atoms are central, with four hydrogen atoms attached.
    • Each carbon atom shares one electron with each hydrogen atom.
    • Each carbon atom shares one electron with the other carbon atom.
    • Each carbon atom shares two electrons with the other carbon atom (double bond).

Chemical Structures

  • The following details are relevant for further study:
  • Giant covalent structures
    • Strong covalent bonds throughout.
    • High melting points.
    • May or may not conduct electricity.
  • Giant ionic structures
    • Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
    • High melting points.
    • Do not conduct electricity as solids, but do conduct electricity in the liquid state.
    • Brittle, layers of ions can slide creating repulsion which breaks the structure.
  • Giant metallic structures
    • Made of metal atoms.
    • Strong metallic bonds.
    • High melting points.
    • Good conductors of heat and electricity due to delocalized electrons.
    • Malleable and ductile.
  • Simple molecular structures
    • Weak intermolecular forces.
    • Low melting points.
    • Do not conduct electricity.
    • As molecular mass increases, intermolecular forces increase and melting point increases.
