    Study Notes

    Four Laws of Thermodynamics

    • Zeroth Law: Two systems in equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium with each other, example: a glass of ice water in a room warming to room temperature.
    • First Law: Energy can change forms, but is neither created nor destroyed, example: rubbing hands together creates heat.
    • Second Law: Entropy of an isolated system always increases, Example: a house of cards falling apart.
    • Third Law: Entropy of a system approaches a constant value as its temperature approaches absolute zero, example: entropy of a perfect crystal is zero.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atomic Structure: Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Location: protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, and electrons are in a cloud surrounding the nucleus.
    • Function: Protons determine the identity of the atom and are positively charged. Neutrons provide stability in the nucleus, and are neutral. Electrons determine the chemical properties of the atom and are negatively charged.
    • Scientists & Models:
    • Democritus: Proposed indivisible particles (atomos)
    • Dalton: Hard spheres, all atoms of an element are identical
    • Thomson: Electrons embedded in a positive sphere (plum pudding model)
    • Rutherford: Nucleus with electrons orbiting (nuclear model)
    • Bohr: Electrons in specific energy levels (orbits)
    • Schrödinger: Electron orbitals (clouds), electron location not definable.

    Nuclear Chemistry

    • Decay: Radioactive decay releases energy and particles
    • Alpha Decay: Loss of an alpha particle (Helium nucleus).
    • Beta Decay: Loss of a beta particle (electron or positron).
    • Half-life: Time taken for half of a radioactive material to decay.

    Periodic Table

    • Arrangement: Elements ordered by increasing atomic number
    • Groups: Vertical columns; similar properties.
    • Periods: Horizontal rows; properties vary across the row.
    • Families: Specific groups of elements which share similar properties
    • Metals: Good conductors, ductile, malleable, lose electrons to form positive ions.
    • Nonmetals: Poor conductors, brittle, gain electrons to form negative ions.
    • Noble Gases: Nonreactive, full outer electron shells.
    • Trends: Atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity
    • Atomic Mass: The average mass of atoms of an element calculated by taking into account each isotope.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Ionic Bonding: Transfer of electrons between metals and nonmetals, forming positive (cations) and negative (anions) ions.
    • Covalent Bonding: Sharing of electrons between nonmetals.
    • Types of bonds: based on the electronegativity difference between atoms involved in a bond.
    • Intramolecular vs Intermolecular forces: Intramolecular forces are the forces within the molecule influencing the characteristics of the molecule itself. Intermolecular forces are between molecules that influence physical properties, such as melting and boiling points.
