Study Notes

Statistical Measures

Median: The middle value in a ranked dataset; in an ordered list (e.g., 1, 1, 1, 2, 3), the median is the central number.
Mode: The most frequently occurring value in a dataset; in (1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4), the mode is 1.

Bonding Types

Metallic Bond: Involves a lattice of metal cations surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons.
Ionic Bond: Occurs between oppositely charged ions, formed via complete electron transfer, prevalent in salts.
Covalent Bond: Formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, can be polar or nonpolar based on electronegativity differences.

Covalent Bond Subtypes

Nonpolar Covalent Bond: Occurs between atoms with similar electronegativities; equal sharing of electrons (e.g., Cl2).
Polar Covalent Bond: Forms when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally (e.g., HCl).

Intermolecular Forces

Weaker forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules compared to intramolecular forces.

Types of Intermolecular Forces

Cohesion: Attraction between similar molecules.
Adhesion: Attraction between different molecules.
Van der Waals Forces: Weak interactions including dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and induced dipole interactions.

Van der Waals Forces

Keesom Forces: Dipole-dipole interactions between polar molecules.
Debye Forces: Dipole-induced dipole interactions, where polar molecules induce dipoles in nonpolar partners.
London Forces: (Dispersion effect) Induced dipoles between nonpolar molecules.

Special Interactions

Hydrogen Bond: Strong attraction between hydrogen and highly electronegative atoms (N, O, F).
Ion-Dipole Interaction: Attraction between polar molecules and charged ions, critical in solubility.
Ion-Induced Dipole: Occurs when a charged ion induces a dipole in a nonpolar molecule.

The Gaseous State and Gas Laws

Boyle's Law: In a closed system, volume inversely varies with pressure when temperature is constant; P1V1 = P2V2.
Gay-Lussac's Law: Pressure varies directly with absolute temperature, volume constant.
Charles' Law: Volume is directly proportional to temperature when pressure is constant.

Ideal Gas Law

Describes the state of a hypothetical perfect gas; PV=nRT.

Solutions and Concentrations

Types of Solutions: Classified by the state of solute and solvent (e.g., gas-liquid, solid-liquid).
Molality: Moles of solute per kg of solvent.
Molarity: Moles of solute per liter of solution.

Solubility Terms

Solubility definitions range from "very soluble" (<1 part) to "practically insoluble" (>10,000 parts).

Solvent Characteristics

"Like dissolves like": Polar substances tend to dissolve in polar solvents while nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Polar solvents dissolve ionic and polar substances; solubility increases with the presence of polar functional groups.

Solute-Solvent Interaction

Hydrogen bonding significantly enhances solubility in polar solvents, impacting drug formulation and delivery.
