Study Notes

  • Atoms are the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
  • Elements are substances composed of a single type of atom.
  • Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Isotopes are atoms with the same proton number but different neutron numbers.
  • The periodic table summarizes all chemical elements and provides information about their atomic structure.
  • Electrons are held in shells around the nucleus, and each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can hold.
  • Atoms react with each other to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
  • Chemical bonding includes ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds.
  • Macromolecules are giant structures made of millions of atoms joined by covalent bonding.
  • Diamond, graphite, and silicon dioxide are examples of macromolecules.
  • Diamond is a crystalline form of carbon with a 3D structure.
  • Graphite is another form of carbon with a layered structure.
  • Graphite has a "sea of electrons" that holds its layers together.
  • Silicon (IV) oxide has a structure similar to diamond and quartz exists as colorless crystals.
  • Quartz has properties similar to diamond, including high hardness and a high melting point.
  • Metallic bonding involves cations surrounded by a sea of electrons.
  • The sea of electrons in metallic bonding holds the lattice structure of cations together.
  • Metallic bonding is defined as the electrostatic forces between cations and their surrounding electrons.
  • Diamond and quartz are hard and do not conduct electricity.
  • Metallic bonding is responsible for the properties of metals.
