Chemistry
The study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Matter
Anything that takes up space
→ Pure substance
Elements
- Starting material of all matter
i.e., Na , O , C , N , H
Compounds
- Two or more elements chemically bonded together
i.e., H2O
→ Mixtures
Two or more pure substances in the same container
Homogenous mixture
- CANNOT BE SEEN BY THE NAKED EYE
- No boundaries observed
i.e., air
Heterogenous Mixture
- CAN BE SEEN
- Boundaries allowed
i.e., smog

States of Matter
Solid (s) , Na
Liquid (l) , Hg
Gas (g) , He
Aqueous (aq) , NaCl
- Dissolved in water
Atom
Smallest building block of matter
Molecule
Larger unit in which 2 or more atoms are joined together
Monatomic, Diatomic, Triatomic
mon/mono → one
di → two
tri → three

Diatomic molecules
Element composed of 2 atoms
i.e.,
H2 , O2 N2 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2
ALWAYS COVALENT
Chemical Reactions
Formation and/or breaking of chemical bonds to form new molecules (products) from old ones (reactants)

Chemical energy
Internal bonding potential energy
Chemical equation
Symbolic summar
Valence electrons
Outer electrons determining the chemical properties of an atom
Octet rule
Atoms attempt to acquire an outer shell of 8 electrons
Electrons can be gained / lost / shared in the process
BASICALLY, ELEMENTS IN THE P.T WANT TO BE LIKE NOBLE GASES (They already fulfill the octet rule)
Chemical Bonds
Attractive forces holding atoms together in compounds
3 types of Chemical Bonds
Covalent bond
Ionic Bond
Metallic Bond
Energy and Electrons in Ionic Bonding
Reaction energy released = heat of formation
Electron transfer rules
Electrons lost/gained to form closed octets
# gained = # lost
Multiple Bonds
Sharing of more than one electron pair
i.e.,
Ethylene = double bond
Acetylene ≡ triple bond

Bond Polarity
Result of unequal sharing of electrons
Polar covalent bonds
Electronegativity
Measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons
