# data[].attributes.body
1. Dalton’s Atomic Theory

John Dalton (1803): Proposed that all matter is made of atoms.

Postulates:

1. Elements are made of indivisible atoms.

2. Atoms of the same element are identical.

3. Atoms of different elements differ in properties.

4. Compounds are formed by combinations of atoms in whole-number ratios.

5. Chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms, not their creation or destruction.

Limitations:

Atoms are divisible (protons, neutrons, electrons).

Isotopes exist (atoms of the same element with different masses).

2. Quantum Numbers

Describe electron positions and behavior in atoms.

Principal (n): Energy level (1, 2, 3…).

Angular Momentum (l): Shape of orbital (s = 0, p = 1, d = 2, f = 3).

Magnetic (ml): Orbital orientation (−l to +l).

Spin (ms): Spin of electron (+½ or −½).

3. Periodic Table

Arranged by increasing atomic number (Moseley).

Groups: Columns with similar properties.

Periods: Rows indicating energy levels.

Trends:

Atomic radius: Increases down, decreases across.

Ionization energy & Electronegativity: Decrease down, increase across.

Metallic character: Increases down, decreases across.

4. Types of Chemical Bonds

Ionic: Transfer of electrons (metal + nonmetal).

Covalent: Sharing electrons (nonmetal + nonmetal).

Metallic: Delocalized electrons among metal atoms.

Polar vs. Nonpolar Covalent:

Polar: Unequal sharing.

Nonpolar: Equal sharing.

5. Chemical Structures

Lewis Structures: Show bonding and lone pairs.

Octet Rule: Atoms tend to gain 8 valence electrons (exceptions exist).

Use dots for lone pairs, lines for shared pairs.

6. Valence Bond Theory

Bonds form when orbitals of two atoms overlap.

Hybridization: Mixing of orbitals (e.g., sp³ for tetrahedral).

Explains bond angles and molecular shapes.

7. Molecular Geometry (VSEPR Theory)

Shape based on repulsion between electron pairs.

Common Geometries:

Linear (2 pairs)

Trigonal Planar (3 pairs)

Tetrahedral (4 pairs)

Trigonal Bipyramidal (5 pairs)

Octahedral (6 pairs)

8. Resonance

Occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure exists.

Electrons are delocalized.

Example: O₃, CO₃²⁻

9. Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)

Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion.

Collisions are elastic (no energy loss).

Gas particles occupy no volume and exert no forces (ideal gas).

Temperature is proportional to average kinetic energy.

10. Gas Laws

Boyle’s Law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ (constant T)

Charles’s Law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ (constant P)

Avogadro’s Law: V ∝ n (constant T, P)

Combined Gas Law: (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

11. Ideal Gas Law & Dalton’s Law

PV = nRT

P = pressure, V = volume, n = moles, R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K, T = temperature

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures:

P_total = P₁ + P₂ + … + Pₙ

P_gas = (mol_gas/total mol) × P_total

12. Graham’s Law of Diffusion

Rate₁/Rate₂ = √(M₂/M₁)

M = molar mass

Lighter gases diffuse faster.

13. Gay-Lussac’s Law

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂ (constant V)

Pressure of gas is directly proportional to temperature.

14. Gas Stoichiometry

Combine with mole ratios from balanced equations.

1. Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (IMFA)

Forces between molecules, weaker than chemical bonds.

Types:

Dipole-Dipole Forces: Between polar molecules.

Hydrogen Bonding: Strong dipole-dipole interaction between H and N, O, or F.

Ion-Dipole: Between ion and polar molecule (common in solutions).

2. Physical Properties of Liquids Affected by IMFA

Boiling Point: Stronger IMFA → higher boiling point.

Viscosity: Resistance to flow; increases with stronger IMFA.

Surface Tension: Tendency to minimize surface area; stronger with higher IMFA.

Vapor Pressure: Decreases with stronger IMFA.

Capillary Action: Movement in narrow tubes; due to cohesion and adhesion.

3. Structure and Properties of Water

Universal solvent due to polarity.

Solid (ice) is less dense than liquid due to open hexagonal lattice.

4. Types and Properties of Solids

Crystalline: Ordered, repeating structure (e.g., NaCl, quartz).

Types:

Ionic: High melting point, brittle, conducts when molten.

Covalent Network: Very hard, high melting point (e.g., diamond).

Critical Point: Beyond this, gas and liquid are indistinguishable (supercritical fluid).

6. Analyzing Phase Diagram

Determine phase at given T and P.

Predict phase changes with changes in T or P.

Understand slope of solid-liquid line (e.g., water has negative slope → ice melts under pressure).

7. Types of Solutions

Solid, liquid, or gas solute in solid, liquid, or gas solvent.

Common types:

Gas in gas (air)

Solid in liquid (saltwater)

Gas in liquid (soda)

Liquid in liquid (alcohol in water)

1. Colligative Properties

Definition: Properties that depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity.

Only applicable to nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte or electrolyte solutes in a solution.

A. Osmotic Pressure (Π)

Pressure required to stop osmosis (flow of solvent into solution).

Formula:
Π = MRT

M = molarity

R = gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)

T = temperature in Kelvin

Higher solute concentration → higher osmotic pressure.

B. Vapor Pressure Lowering

Adding solute decreases the vapor pressure of the solvent.

Raoult’s Law:
P_solution = X_solvent × P_pure solvent

X = mole fraction

Less surface area for evaporation → lower vapor pressure.

C. Boiling Point Elevation (ΔTᵦ)

Solution boils at higher temperature than pure solvent.

Formula:
ΔTᵦ = iKᵦm

i = van’t Hoff factor (number of particles)

Kᵦ = boiling point elevation constant

m = molality

New boiling point = T_b(pure) + ΔTᵦ

D. Freezing Point Depression (ΔT𝒻)

Solution freezes at lower temperature than pure solvent.

Formula:
ΔT𝒻 = iK𝒻m

K𝒻 = freezing point depression constant

New freezing point = T_f(pure) − ΔT𝒻

2. Concept of Nuclear Reactions

Involve changes in the nucleus of an atom.

Unlike chemical reactions, nuclear reactions can change elements.

A. Types of Nuclear Reactions

Alpha Decay (α):

Emits ⁴₂He nucleus

Decreases mass by 4, atomic number by 2

Beta Decay (β⁻):

Neutron → proton + electron

Electron (β⁻) is emitted

Positron Emission (β⁺):

Proton → neutron + positron

Gamma Decay (γ):

Releases energy, no change in mass or atomic number

B. Fission

Heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei + energy (e.g., uranium-235).

Chain reactions possible.

Used in nuclear reactors and bombs.

C. Fusion

Two light nuclei combine into a heavier nucleus.

Releases much more energy than fission.

Occurs in stars (e.g., hydrogen fusion into helium).

D. Radioactive Decay

Unstable isotopes release particles to become stable.

Measured by half-life: time for half the sample to decay.
