Study Notes
Atoms and Elements
- An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- Carbon cannot be divided into anything smaller than two pieces of carbon.
- An atom of carbon is the smallest possible piece of carbon.
- Atoms are the smallest particles of an element.
Compounds
- A compound is a substance made up of two or more elements bonded chemically.
- Carbon dioxide is made of carbon and oxygen.
- The smallest piece of carbon dioxide is one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms.
- Water is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen.
- The smallest piece of water is one oxygen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.
Molecules
- Molecules are atoms bonded together chemically.
- Elements like oxygen exist naturally as molecules of two atoms bonded together.
- The smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
Chemical Formulae
- Element symbols always start with a capital letter and the second letter, if present, is lowercase.
- Subscripts after element symbols indicate the number of atoms of that element in the molecule.
Mixtures
- Substances in mixtures are not chemically bonded and can be separated using physical methods.
- Mixtures can include elements and compounds.
- Some mixtures, like cordial, have specific amounts of components but do not have atoms bonded together.
Physical Change
- A physical change alters the appearance of a substance but does not create a new substance.
- Changes in shape, state (solid, liquid, gas) and dissolving are examples of physical changes.
Chemical Change
- A chemical change forms a new substance.
- The process is known as a chemical reaction.
- Ingredients involved are reactants and the new substances are products.
- New substances can't be created from nothing.
Signs of Chemical Change
- The new substance shows different properties.
- Changes in color, temperature, production of a gas, and production of light indicate a chemical change.
Atomic Structure
- Protons have a positive charge and a mass of 1.
- Neutrons have no charge and a mass of 1.
- Electrons have a negative charge and negligible mass.
Atomic Structure
- Atomic number = number of protons in an atom
- Atomic mass = number of protons and neutrons in an atom
- Number of electrons = Number of protons
Variables
- Independent variables are manipulated to see their effect.
- Dependent variables are measured to observe the effect of the independent variable.
- Control variables are kept constant to ensure that the only factor affecting the dependent variable is the independent variable.
Metamorphic Rocks
- Metamorphic rocks form from existing igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure.
- Heat and pressure change the minerals and textures of the parent rock without melting.
- Common examples of metamorphic rocks include: marble (from limestone), slate (from shale), quartzite (from sandstone).
Igneous Rocks
- Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
- Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly on the surface, resulting in fine-grained textures.
- Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the surface, resulting in coarse-grained textures.
- Igneous rocks are hard, strong, and consist of interlocking crystals.
Weathering
- Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.
- Physical weathering involves breaking rocks through forces like temperature changes, ice, and plant growth.
- Chemical weathering involves chemical reactions between water and chemicals in the water and the air with rocks that chemically alter the rock.
Erosion and Sedimentation
- Erosion is the process of carrying away weathered rock particles.
- Erosion is driven by wind, water, and ice.
- Sedimentation is the deposition of eroded particles in a new location.
- This occurs when processes like water flow slow down.
Sedimentary Rocks
- Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments that have been cemented together under pressure.
- The cemented sediments can be pieces of weathered rock, minerals, or plant/animal material.
- Types of sedimentary rocks include clastic, chemical, and organic rocks.
Chemical Sedimentary Rocks
- Chemical sedimentary rocks form when dissolved minerals come out of solution and form solid crystals as water evaporates.
Organic Sedimentary Rocks
- Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of dead plant or animal material.
- This matter is compressed, typically buried in layers, and cemented together over time
- Coal is a common example of an organic sedimentary rock.
Uses of Sedimentary Rocks
- Many sedimentary rocks have various uses, including construction, making cement, glass, steel, and energy sources.
Life Cycle of a Star
- Stars begin as huge gas clouds called stellar nebulae.
- Protostars are formed through the collapse of these clouds.
- Average stars evolve through stages of main sequence, red giant, white dwarf, and eventually a black dwarf.
- Massive stars go through stages of main sequence, red supergiant, supernova, and black hole.
