The Chemistry of Life ---Kary
  1. The Nature of Matter
    1. Atom:

      Annotations:

      • Atom is the smallest constitution of a matter
      1. - electrons

        Annotations:

        • Electron is the small particle inside an atom, which carrying negative electric charge.
        • Electron has a mass about 1/1836 of that of proton
        • In an atom, if the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons, then the atom is electrically neutral. 
        1. Nucleus

          Annotations:

          • Nucleus is the center of an atom, which consists positive electric charged protons and neutrons
          1. + protons

            Annotations:

            • The small particles inside nucleus, which carrying positive electric charge
            • A protons with mass approximately to an atom mass unit
            1. atomic number

              Annotations:

              • The number of protons contains in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic number
            2. neutrons

              Annotations:

              • A small particle inside nucleus, which carrying no net electric charge
              • A neutron has a mass slightly larger than that of protons
              1. mass number

                Annotations:

                • The mass number of an atom equals to the proton number plus the neutron number of an atom
          2. Chemical Compounds

            Annotations:

            • A chemical compound is a chemical substance formed by 2 or more elements in definite proportions. For example, H2O, NaCl, etc.
            1. Shorthand formula
              1. Water: H2O

                Annotations:

                • Indicate the chemical compound -- Water contains 2 H and 1 Oxygent
                • Indicate the chemical compound -- Water contains 2 atoms of Hydrogent and 1 atoms of Oxygent
                1. Table Salt: NaCl

                  Annotations:

                  • NaCl indicates that the elements that make up table salt - sodium and chlorine - combine in a 1:1 ratio
                2. Physical Properties vs Chemical Properties

                  Annotations:

                  • are usually very different from those of the elements from which it is formed
                3. Chemical Bond

                  Annotations:

                  • Chemical Bonds hold the atoms in chemical compounds together. The bond is caused by the electronic attraction between opposite charges. 
                  • There are varies kind of chemical bond, among them, Ionic and covalent bonds are strong bonds. 
                  1. Ionic Bonds

                    Annotations:

                    • Ionic bonds is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. 
                    1. Ions

                      Annotations:

                      • In an atom, if the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons, then the atom is electrically neutral. Otherwise, if the atom contains more or fewer electrons than protons, then the atom is overall electrically negative or positive, it becomes an ions
                    2. Covalent Bonds

                      Annotations:

                      • When electrons are shared by atoms instead of being transferred, in this case, the moving electrons travel about the nuclei of both atoms, it is called a covalent bond
                      1. molecules

                        Annotations:

                        • The molecule is the smallest unit of most compounds
                      2. Van Der Waals Forces

                        Annotations:

                        • Because of their structure, atoms of different elements do not all have the same ability to attract electrons. Some have a stronger attraction for electrons than the other atoms do. When the atoms in a covalent bond share electrons, the sharing is not always equal. Even when the sharing is equal, the rapid movement of electrons can create regions on a molecule that have a tiny positive or negative charge. 
                        • Van Der Waals Forces are weak chemical bonds. Since there are tiny positive or negative charge area in a molecule, when molecules are close together, a slight attraction can be developed between the oppositely charged areas of nearby molecules, this is called Van Der Waals Forces.
                        1. bond molecules together, especially when molecules are large
                      3. Elements and Isotopes
                        1. Isotopes:

                          Annotations:

                          • Isotopes are atoms of the same element, which means with the same number of protons in the nucleus, but  the number of neutrons in the nucleus is different
                          • Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number, but different mass number
                          1. mass number

                            Annotations:

                            • Isotopes for the same element are identified by their mass number. For example, Carbon-12, where 12 is the mass number, and equals to 6 protons + 6 neutons
                            1. Isotopes of Carbon

                              Annotations:

                              • All the isotopes of carbon have the same number of electrons, all isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties
                              1. Carbon-12
