Study Notes
Unit A: Chemistry
- Chemistry is the branch of science that identifies the substances matter is made of
- It investigates their properties and how they interact, combine and change
- It also uses processes to make new substances
Terms You Should Know
- Matter: A physical substance with mass that occupies space
- Energy: Power derived from chemical or physical resources
- State: A physical condition determined by molecular structure (solid, liquid, gas)
Physical Properties of Matter
- Boiling Point/Condensation Point: The temperature at which a substance boils or condenses
- Freezing Point/Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance freezes or melts
- Malleability: The ability to be beaten or rolled into sheets without crumbling
- Ductility: The ability to be stretched out without breaking
- State: Existence as a solid, liquid, or gas
- Crystal Formation: Crystalline appearance
- Magnetism: the ability to attract other objects with magnetic properties
- Conductivity: The ability to conduct heat or electricity
- Solubility: The ability to dissolve
- Color: The color of the material
Chemical Properties of Matter
- Ability to Burn: Combustion (flame, heat, light)
- Flash Point: Temperature needed to ignite a flame
- Behavior in Air: Tendency to degrade, react, or tarnish
- Reaction with Water: Tendency to corrode or dissolve
- Reaction with Acids: Corrosion, sometimes with bubble formation
- Reaction with Heat: Tendency to melt or decompose
- Reaction to Red/Blue Litmus: Red (acid), blue (base), no change (neutral)
Properties & Classification of Matter
- Matter: Pure substances (elements, compounds) or mixtures (solutions, mechanical mixtures, suspensions, colloids)
- Pure Substances: Contain only one type of particle that cannot be broken down further by physical means
- Elements: Made up of one type of atom (e.g., gold, oxygen, diamond)
- Compounds: Made up of more than one type of element chemically combined in specific ratios (e.g., water, salt, crystals)
- Mixtures: Contain two or more pure substances
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Appear to be made of one substance and look the same throughout (e.g., sugar & water)
- Heterogenous Mixtures: Separate components are visible (e.g., suspensions, colloids)
- Suspensions: Particles dispersed throughout a fluid (e.g., sand and water)
- Colloids: Particles that cannot be filtered out easily (e.g., gelatin, milk)
Matter can Change
- Chemical Change: A chemical reaction forms new products
- Physical Change: Matter changes form but not its chemical identity
- Examples: Combustion, Rotting, Melting, Shredding, Rusting, Digestion, Boiling, Chopping
Identifying Chemical Reactions
- All chemical reactions are characterized by the formation of a new substance with new physical and chemical properties.
- All chemical reactions involve the release or absorption of energy.
Ancient Chemistry
- Metallurgy: Science of producing and using metals
- Annealing: Heating copper to make it stronger and less brittle
- Smelting: Separating metals from compounds by melting them
Food Chemistry
- Development of food preservation techniques essential for human survival
Atomic Theory
- Our understanding of the atom has changed over time, with new models emerging from experimental evidence
- Different models include: Dalton's "Billiard Ball" Model, Thomson's "Plum Pudding" Model , Rutherford's "Planetary" Model, Bohr's Model, the Quantum Mechanical Model
Idea 1: Spontaneous Generation
- Aristotle's idea that living things can be generated from non-living things
- Pneuma (vital heat) and Anima (soul)
Idea 2: The Billiard Ball Model
- John Dalton's idea that all elements are made of atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are identical
- Atoms are indivisible
- Atoms combine in fixed ratios to form compounds
Idea 3: The Raisin Bun Model
- J.J. Thomson's idea that atoms have a large positive charge.
- Small negative charges (electrons) are embedded within the positive charge
Idea 4: The Planetary Model
- Ernest Rutherford's idea that an atom has a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus.
- Negative electrons orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun
Idea 5: The Bohr Model
- Niels Bohr's idea that electrons are arranged in specific orbits or energy levels around the nucleus
Idea 6: The Quantum Mechanical Model
- The modern model describing the positions of electrons in an atom in terms of probabilities.
- Electrons can be found at any distance from the nucleus, but they tend to be more frequently in certain regions depending on energy level
