Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atom: The smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element.
- Subatomic particles: Protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons: Positively charged particles found in the nucleus.
- Neutrons: Neutrally charged particles found in the nucleus.
- Electrons: Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in electron shells.
- Atomic Number: Represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. It determines the atom's identity.
- Atomic Mass: Represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom’s nucleus.
- Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but varying numbers of neutrons.
Fundamental Particles
- Quarks: Fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons.
- Gluons: Fundamental particles that bind quarks together.
- Leptons: Fundamental particles that include electrons and neutrinos.
Periodic Table
- Atomic Number: The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which defines the element.
- Atomic Mass: The total mass of an atom, approximately equal to the sum of protons and neutrons.
Density
- Density: A measure of mass per unit volume. It reflects how tightly packed the particles in a substance are.
- Formula: Density = Mass / Volume.
Buoyancy
- Buoyant Force: An upward force exerted by a fluid on an object submerged in it.
- Archimedes' Principle: The buoyant force on an object submerged in fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- Explains the behavior of gases and liquids at the microscopic level.
-
Key points:
- Molecules are in constant random motion.
- The average kinetic energy of molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature.
- Collisions between molecules are perfectly elastic.
Viscosity
- Viscosity: A fluid's resistance to flow. Higher viscosity means a thicker fluid.
- Cohesion: Attractive forces between molecules of the same substance.
- Adhesion: Attractive forces between molecules of different substances.
