NDA Chemistry Important Chapter Notes

Structure of Atom
- **Bohr's Model**: Electrons revolve in fixed orbits with quantized energy levels.
- **Quantum Numbers**: Describe position and energy of electrons (n, l, m, s).
- **Electronic Configuration**: Distribution of electrons in shells/subshells.
- **Isotopes/Isobars**: Isotopes = same atomic number, different mass; Isobars = same mass, different atomic numbers.

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure


- **Ionic Bonds**: Formed by transfer of electrons.
- **Covalent Bonds**: Formed by sharing electrons.
- **VSEPR Theory**: Predicts molecular shape based on electron repulsion.
- **Hybridization**: Mixing of orbitals (sp, sp2, sp3).

Periodic Table and Periodicity


- **Modern Periodic Law**: Elements are arranged by atomic number.
- **Trends**: Atomic size down down group, up across period; Ionization energy up across period.

Mole Concept and Stoichiometry


- **Mole**: 1 mole = 6.022x10^23 particles.
- **Molar Mass**: Mass of one mole of substance.
- **Limiting Reagent**: Reactant used up first.
- **Stoichiometry**: Calculation of reactants/products using balanced equations.

States of Matter & Gas Laws


- **Boyle's Law**: P proportional to 1/V (T constant)
- **Charles' Law**: V proportional to T (P constant)
- **Ideal Gas Law**: PV = nRT
- **Kinetic Theory**: Gases consist of moving particles.

Thermodynamics
- **System & Surroundings**: System = chemical reaction; rest = surroundings.
- **First Law**: deltaU = q - w
- **Enthalpy (deltaH)**: Heat change at constant pressure.

Equilibrium
- **Dynamic Equilibrium**: Rate of forward = backward reaction.
- **Le Chatelier's Principle**: System opposes change.
- **pH**: -log[H+]; pH < 7 = acidic.
- **Acid-Base**: Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry theories.
Redox Reactions
- **Oxidation**: Loss of electrons.
- **Reduction**: Gain of electrons.
- **Oxidizing/Reducing Agent**: Substance that causes oxidation/reduction.

Organic Chemistry & Hydrocarbons


- **IUPAC Naming**: Based on longest carbon chain.
- **Isomerism**: Compounds with same molecular formula, different structure.
- **Hydrocarbons**: Alkanes (single bond), Alkenes (double bond), Alkynes (triple bond).
- **Reactions**: Addition, Substitution.

Environmental Chemistry
- **Pollution**: Air, water pollution causes and prevention.
- **Greenhouse Effect**: CO2 traps heat.
- **Ozone Depletion**: Caused by CFCs.

Metals and Non-Metals


- **Metals**: Conduct heat/electricity, malleable, ductile.
- **Reactivity Series**: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Pb > H > Cu > Ag > Au.
- **Extraction**: Ore -> Concentration -> Reduction -> Refining.

Carbon and Its Compounds


- **Covalent Bonding**: Strong bonds between carbon atoms.
- **Important Compounds**: Ethanol (C2H5OH), Acetic Acid (CH3COOH).
- **Functional Groups**: -OH, -COOH, -CHO, -Cl, -NO2 etc.
