This page introduces the basic structure of atoms and key subatomic particles.
The nucleus contains most of an atom's mass and is composed of protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells, occupying most of the atom's space. The page details the relative charges and masses of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Definition: The relative atomic mass is the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element, compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
The concept of ions and isotopes is introduced:
Vocabulary: Relative molecular mass (Mr) is the mean mass of a molecule, compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
This page provides a chronological overview of the development of atomic models, crucial for understanding the history and models of the atom in OCR A chemistry questions.
Key scientists and their contributions:
Example: Rutherford's Gold Leaf experiment involved firing positive α-particles at thin gold foil. Most particles passed through, indicating atoms were mostly empty space, while some deflected, suggesting a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.
Highlight: The modern atomic model recognizes that electrons occupy subshells with varying energy levels, explaining ionization trends.
This page delves into the formation of ionic compounds and the concept of water of crystallization, essential topics for OCR Chemistry A Atoms, ions and compounds Exam Style questions.
Compound formation:
Definition: Water of crystallization refers to water molecules that exist within crystal structures of salts.
The page explains that salts can be hydrated (with water) or anhydrous (without water). It also introduces the concept of calculating the number of water molecules in hydrated salts.
Example: A worked example is provided to calculate the value of 'x' in the hydrated salt CaSO₄·xH₂O, demonstrating how to determine the number of water molecules in a hydrated compound.
This page covers ionic equations and introduces the mole concept, crucial for understanding ionic equations OCR A Level Chemistry and quantitative chemistry calculations.
Ionic equations:
Example: The ionic equation for the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide is presented, highlighting the formation of water and the spectator ions.
The mole concept:
Definition: The ideal gas equation (PV = nRT) relates the number of moles of a gas to its pressure, volume, and temperature.
This page introduces the concepts of atom economy and percentage yield, important for understanding reaction efficiency and actual product formation.
Atom economy:
Highlight: Companies aim for reactions with atom economies approaching 100% to maximize resource utilization and minimize waste.
Percentage yield:
Vocabulary: Atom economy shows how efficiently atoms from reactants are incorporated into the desired product.
This page introduces fundamental concepts of acid-base chemistry, essential for understanding OCR Chemistry ionisation energy questions and related topics.
Key points:
Definition: An alkali is a soluble base that produces hydroxide (OH⁻) ions when added to water.
The page briefly mentions the reaction between H⁺ ions from acids and OH⁻ ions from bases, forming the basis for acid-base neutralization reactions.
Highlight: Understanding acid-base reactions is crucial for predicting product formation and pH changes in chemical processes.
This document provides an in-depth overview of key concepts in atomic structure, chemical bonding, and reactions for OCR A Chemistry. It covers essential topics like the structure of atoms, isotopes, ion formation, compound formation, and quantitative aspects of chemistry.
Key points:
Highlight: The guide provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental chemistry concepts essential for OCR A Level Chemistry exams.
