Study Notes
Units of Measurement
- Units are standard quantities used to define measurements, which are crucial in chemistry.
- There are three common systems of units: English system, Metric system, and International System of Units (SI).
- SI system is based on the metric system and preferred by scientists.
- The metric system uses one unit for each type of measurement:
- Length: meter (m)
- Volume: liter (L)
- Mass: gram (g)
- Temperature: Celsius (°C)
- Time: second (s)
Measuring Length
- Length is the distance between two points.
- A meter stick is used to measure length.
- Centimeters (cm) are used for smaller lengths.
Measuring Mass
- Mass measures the amount of matter in an object.
- The mass of an object is measured using a balance.
Prefixes
- Prefixes adjust the size of a unit.
- Students should memorize the prefixes, their symbols, and their factors.
- Prefixes that increase the size of the unit: kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-
- Prefixes that decrease the size of the unit: deci-, centi-, milli-, micro-, nano-, pico-
Density
- Density of a material is its mass per unit volume.
- Density is typically measured in units of g/L, g/mL, or g/cm3.
- Formula for density: Density = Mass / Volume.
History of Atomic Structure
- The atom comes from the Greek word "atomos," meaning indivisible.
- An atom consists of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) and surrounding electrons.
Molecular Elements
- Molecular Elements occur as multi-atom molecules, with atoms of the same element bonded by covalent bonds.
- Examples: H2, O2, N2, Cl2, P4, S8, Se8
Molecular Compounds
- Molecular Compounds are formed by molecules made of only nonmetals, bonded by covalent bonds.
- Examples: H2O, NH3, HCl, CH4
Ionic Compounds
- Ionic Compounds have particles made of metal cations and nonmetal anions, bonded by ionic bonds.
- Examples: NaCl, AlF3, Fe2O3, Mg2S
Classification of Elements
- Atomic Elements: Composed of individual atoms.
- Molecular Elements: Composed of molecules where atoms of the same element are bonded.
- Molecular Compounds: Composed of molecules where atoms of different elements are bonded.
- Ionic Compounds: Composed of ions of different elements.
Formula Mass and Molar Mass
- Formula mass (amu) is the mass of an individual molecule or formula unit, expressed in atomic mass units (amu).
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
Types of Chemical Equations
- Molecular equations: Show the formulas of compounds as if they existed as molecules.
- Ionic equations: Show the ionic forms of strong electrolytes in solution.
- Net ionic equations: Eliminate spectator ions (those that do not participate in chemical reactions) from the ionic equation, showing only the reacting species.
Writing Net Ionic Equations
- To Write a net ionic equation:
- Balance the molecular equation.
- Write the ionic equation for strong electrolytes.
- Identify precipitates using solubility rules.
- Cancel identical ions on both sides of the ionic equation.
Chemical Bonds
- Compounds are formed by atoms held together by bonds.
- Chemical bonds are attractive forces between atoms.
- Bonds form because they lower the potential energy between charged particles (protons and electrons).
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Ionic bonds: formed when electrons transfer between atoms, resulting in oppositely charged ions.
- Covalent bonds: formed by sharing electrons between atoms.
- Metallic bonds: formed by the attraction of delocalized electrons to a lattice of metal atoms.
