Study Notes
Virus Life Cycle
- Viruses are not considered living organisms because they cannot reproduce on their own.
- They require a host cell to replicate.
- The stages of the virus life cycle include:
- Attachment: The virus attaches to the host cell.
- Entry: The virus enters the host cell.
- Replication: The virus replicates its genetic material within the host cell.
- Assembly: Newly formed virus particles assemble within the host cell.
- Release: The newly formed virus particles are released from the host cell.
Properties of Matter
Solid
- Rigid: Solids have a defined shape and volume.
- Fluidity: Solids cannot flow easily.
Liquid
- Fluid: Liquids have a defined volume but take the shape of their container.
- Compressible: Liquids cannot readily be compressed.
- Density: Liquids have a relatively high density compared to gases.
- Viscous: Liquids have a tendency to resist flow.
Gas
- Fluid: Gases take the shape and volume of their container.
- Compressible: Gases can be compressed to a smaller volume.
- Density: Gases have a relatively low density compared to liquids.
- Diffusion: Gases spread out rapidly.
Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances.
- Examples include:
- Reactivity: The ability of a substance to react with other substances.
- Flammability: The ability of a substance to burn in the presence of oxygen.
Physical Properties
- Physical properties can be observed without changing the substance's chemical composition.
- Examples include:
- Melting and boiling points: The temperatures at which a substance changes from solid to liquid and liquid to gas.
- Density: The mass per unit volume of a substance.
- Color: The way a substance appears under visible light.
- Solubility: The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
- Conductivity: The ability of a substance to conduct heat or electricity.
Extensive Properties
- Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present.
- Examples include:
- Mass: The amount of matter in a substance.
- Volume: The space occupied by a substance.
Intensive Properties
- Intensive properties are independent of the amount of matter present.
- Examples include:
- Density: The ratio of mass to volume.
- Temperature: The degree of hotness or coldness of a substance.
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter
- The kinetic molecular theory explains the behavior of matter at the molecular level.
- Key points:
- Matter is composed of tiny particles in constant motion.
- The average kinetic energy of particles is proportional to the temperature.
- Particles interact with each other through attractive and repulsive forces.
Movement of Particles
- Diffusion: The spreading out of particles from a high concentration area to a low concentration area.
- Evaporation: The process where molecules transition from a liquid to a gas phase.
- Condensation: The process where molecules transition from a gas to a liquid phase.
- Sublimation: The transition from a solid to a gas phase without passing through the liquid phase.
- Melting: The transition from a solid to a liquid phase.
Components of Matter: The Atom
Antoine Lavoisier
- He is considered the "father of modern chemistry."
- He established the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Laws of Matter
Law of Conservation of Mass
- The total mass of reactants in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of products.
- No atoms are lost or gained during a chemical reaction.
Law of Definite Proportions
- A chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass.
Law of Multiple Proportions
- If two elements form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in ratios of small whole numbers.
Atomic Theory
- John Dalton proposed the first comprehensive atomic theory.
- Key points:
- All matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and other properties.
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged during chemical reactions.
- Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds.
How Dalton's Atomic Theory Explains Mass Laws
- Conservation of Mass: Dalton's theory states that atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
- Definite Proportions: Dalton's theory states that atoms of the same element have the same mass.
- Multiple Proportions: Dalton's theory states that atoms combine in whole number ratios.
The Modern Atomic Model and Its Story
- JJ Thomson discovered the electron by using cathode ray tubes and observing the deflection of the rays by magnets.
- Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment. The results indicated the existence of a dense, positively charged nucleus at the center of the atom.
- Niels Bohr proposed the model with electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific, quantized energy levels.
Atomic Mass, Atomic Number, and Writing the Atomic Symbol
- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus.
- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
- The atomic symbol of an atom is represented by a symbol with the atomic number and mass number as superscripts and subscripts, respectively.
Isotopes
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
- They have similar chemical properties but different physical properties.
Relative Atomic Mass
- The relative atomic mass (Ar) of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes.
Molecules and Ions
Elements in the Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on their properties.
- Elements are classified based on their metallic and non-metallic properties.
Molecules
- Molecules are formed when two or more atoms bond together.
- They are typically composed of non-metals.
Ions and Ionic Compounds
- Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have gained or lost electrons, giving them a net charge.
- Ionic compounds are formed when positively charged cations and negatively charged anions combine.
- Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals.
Mathematical Foundations for Chemistry and Physics
Scientific Notation
- a way to express very large or very small numbers concisely.
- It utilizes a base-10 number system with exponents.
Operations on Scientific Notation
- Addition and Subtraction: The exponents must be the same before performing the operation.
- Multiplication: Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
- Division: Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.
Rules for Significant Figures
- Nonzero digits are significant.
- Zeros between nonzero digits are significant.
- Zeros to the right of nonzero digits and to the right of a decimal point are significant.
- Zeros only to the left of nonzero digits are not significant.
- Numbers resulting from counting or defined values have an infinite number of significant figures.
- In addition and subtraction, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places.
- In multiplication and division, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
