Properties of Electromagnetic Radiation

Scientists study atomic structure by observing how atoms interact with radiant/transmitted energy.
A wave is a periodic oscillation that transmits energy through space.
Wavelength (λ) is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves.
Frequency (v) is the number of oscillations that pass a point per second, measured in hertz (Hz).
Amplitude is the height of a wave, directly related to energy.

Electromagnetic Radiation

All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed: the speed of light (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s).
c = λν (speed of light equals wavelength times frequency)
The image displays the electromagnetic spectrum, showing various types of radiation (gamma rays, X-rays, UV, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves) with their corresponding wavelengths and frequencies.

Nature of Matter

Matter exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties.
Energy of a molecule is quantized (specific levels).
Molecules store energy through various means (rotation, bond vibrations, electron orbitals).
Atoms and molecules often exhibit line spectra of discrete wavelengths.

Chemical Equations

Chemical reactions involve breaking and forming bonds.
All chemical equations have reactants and products, written as Reactants → Products.
Chemical equations describe the relationship between reactants and products via stoichiometry (number of each substance).
Chemical equations can indicate the state of substances involved (e.g., solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g), aqueous (aq)).
Chemical reactions involve changes in materials' chemical composition and properties, including energy changes (endo/exothermic).

Balancing Chemical Equations

Balancing equations is essential because matter is conserved; atoms/ions are neither created nor destroyed.
The numbers of each type of atom must be the same on the left(reactants) and right(products) sides.
Stoichiometric coefficients are used to balance equations.
The physical states of compounds are represented symbolically (e.g., (s), (l), (g), (aq)).
The law of conservation of energy, along with changes in bonds breaking and forming, must also be considered.

Stoichiometry Calculations

Stoichiometry relates amounts of reactants and products in a balanced chemical reaction.
Coefficients in a balanced equation are used to convert moles from reactants to products.
Masses of substances can be calculated (using molar masses) from the moles of reactants and products, and vice-versa.
The concept of limiting reactants/reagents, excess reagents, is critical to stoichiometric calculations.

Formula and Molecular Weights

Formula weight (FW) is the sum of atomic weights of atoms within a chemical formula.
Molecular weight (MW) is the sum of atomic weights of atoms within a molecule.

Mole Relationships

The mole is a fundamental unit used to measure amounts of matter.
One mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of particles (atoms, ions, or molecules).
The molar mass of a substance is its mass in grams per mole.

Calculations

Calculations involving quantities of substances in chemical reactions.
Calculating masses, moles and numbers of atoms/molecules from various information in the reaction.
Percent yield calculations are a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction.

Reaction Types

Combination reactions: two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
Decomposition reactions: one reactant breaks down into two or more products.
Combustion reactions: rapid reactions of a substance with oxygen, often involving hydrocarbons, and producing heat and light (flames).

Empirical Formulas

Empirical formulas represent the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound.
Combustion Analysis is used to determine percentages of the elements within a substance.
