Chemistry 1 Study Guide

1. Matter and its Properties:

 States of Matter: Solid, liquid, and gas.


 Physical Properties: Characteristics that can be observed without
changing the substance's composition (e.g., color, density, melting
point).
 Chemical Properties: Characteristics that describe how a substance
reacts with other substances (e.g., flammability, reactivity).
 Changes of State: Physical changes that involve a change in the
state of matter (e.g., melting, freezing, boiling).
 Mixtures vs. Pure Substances: Mixtures are combinations of
multiple substances, while pure substances have a fixed composition.

2. Atoms and Elements:

 Atomic Structure: The atom is the basic unit of matter, consisting of


a nucleus (protons and neutrons) and electrons orbiting around it.
 Elements: Pure substances made up of only one type of atom (e.g.,
gold, oxygen, carbon).
 Periodic Table: Organizes elements based on their atomic number
and recurring chemical properties.
 Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of
neutrons.

3. Chemical Bonding:

 Ionic Bonds: Formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms,


creating ions (charged particles).
 Covalent Bonds: Formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
 Metallic Bonds: Found in metals, where electrons are delocalized
throughout the structure.

4. Chemical Formulas and Nomenclature:


 Chemical Formulas: Represent the composition of molecules and
compounds (e.g., H₂O, NaCl).
 Naming Compounds: Systematic rules for naming different types of
compounds (e.g., ionic compounds, covalent compounds, acids).

5. Chemical Reactions:

 Reactants and Products: Substances that react and are formed in a


chemical reaction.
 Balancing Equations: Ensuring that the number of atoms of each
element is the same on both sides of the equation.
 Types of Reactions: Synthesis, decomposition, single displacement,
double displacement, combustion.

6. Stoichiometry:

 Mole Concept: A unit of measurement for the amount of substance.


 Molar Mass: The mass of one mole of a substance.
 Stoichiometric Calculations: Using balanced chemical equations to
predict the amounts of reactants and products in a reaction.

7. Solutions and Concentration:

 Solutions: Homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.


 Solvent and Solute: The solvent is the substance that dissolves the
solute.
 Concentration: The amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of
solvent.

8. Acids and Bases:

 pH Scale: A measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution.


 Acids: Substances that donate protons (H⁺ ions) in solution.
 Bases: Substances that accept protons (H⁺ ions) or donate hydroxide
ions (OH⁻ ions) in solution.
- Thermochemistry: The study of energy changes in chemical reactions.

- Equilibrium: The state where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions
are equal.

- Organic Chemistry: The study of carbon-containing compounds.
