Study Notes
The Language of Chemistry
- Chemistry is a branch of science studying matter, its nature, structure, and changes under different conditions.
- Many theories helped discover the essence of matter.
- Molecules are considered the basic units of matter.
- A molecule is the smallest particle of matter with independent existence.
Pure Substances
- A pure substance comprises molecules with the same kind of atoms.
- Pure substances have a definite composition and properties like boiling point, melting point, and density.
- Pure substances are homogeneous, meaning their composition is uniform.
- Carbon dioxide gas is a pure substance with molecules made of two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom.
- Elements and compounds are pure substances.
Molecules and Elements
- A molecule may contain similar or dissimilar atoms.
- An element is a pure substance with molecules made of the same kind of atoms.
- An element is a simple substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- There are currently 118 known elements.
- Hydrogen and helium make up the majority of the universe's mass, while all other elements make up only 1%.
Atoms
- All elements consist of atoms, the smallest particles representing the element's properties.
- An atom is the smallest particle of an element that may or may not exist independently, but can participate in a chemical reaction.
- A set of identical atoms forms the molecule of the element.
Atomicity
- Atomicity describes the number of atoms in a molecule of an element.
- Elements with only one atom in their molecules are monoatomic, like noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon), metals, and carbon.
