1. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构与元素周期表

All substances are made of atoms. An atom contains a tiny, dense nucleus of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons arranged in shells. Protons have a relative charge of +1, neutrons are neutral (0), and electrons have a charge of -1. The radius of an atom is about 0.1 nm (1 × 10⁻¹⁰ m).

所有物质都由原子组成。原子中心有一个极小而致密的原子核，包含质子和中子，核外电子分层排布。质子相对电荷为 +1，中子不带电 (0)，电子电荷为 -1。原子半径约 0.1 nm (1 × 10⁻¹⁰ m)。

The atomic number is the number of protons, which determines the element. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. For example, Cl-35 and Cl-37 are isotopes of chlorine.

原子序数等于质子数，决定了元素种类。质量数是质子数与中子数之和。同位素是质子数相同但中子数不同的同种原子，例如 Cl-35 和 Cl-37 是氯的同位素。

Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of increasing atomic number. Groups (vertical columns) contain elements with the same number of outer‐shell electrons and similar chemical properties. Periods (horizontal rows) show repeating trends. Group 1 (alkali metals) are very reactive with water; Group 7 (halogens) are reactive non‑metals; Group 0 (noble gases) are unreactive because they have full outer shells.

元素在周期表中按原子序数递增排列。族（纵列）的元素具有相同的价电子数，化学性质相似。周期（横行）呈现递变规律。第 1 族（碱金属）与水剧烈反应；第 7 族（卤素）是活泼非金属；第 0 族（稀有气体）因最外层电子排满而性质稳定。

2. Bonding, Structure, and Properties | 化学键、结构与性质

Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non‑metals. Metal atoms lose electrons to form positive cations, while non‑metal atoms gain electrons to form negative anions. The strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms a giant ionic lattice. Ionic compounds have high melting points and conduct electricity only when molten or dissolved.

离子键存在于金属与非金属之间。金属原子失去电子形成阳离子，非金属原子得到电子形成阴离子。阴阳离子间的强静电引力形成巨型离子晶格。离子化合物熔点高，只有在熔融或溶于水时才能导电。

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between non‑metal atoms. Simple molecular substances, such as H₂O, CO₂, and CH₄, have strong covalent bonds within molecules but weak intermolecular forces, so they have low melting and boiling points. Giant covalent structures, like diamond, graphite, and silica, are made of millions of atoms linked by covalent bonds, giving them very high melting points.

共价键是非金属原子间通过共用电子对形成的。小分子物质（如 H₂O、CO₂、CH₄）分子内共价键强，但分子间作用力弱，故熔沸点低。巨型共价结构（如金刚石、石墨、二氧化硅）由无数原子通过共价键连接而成，熔点极高。

Metallic bonding is the attraction between a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons and positive metal ions. This explains why metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and can be bent or shaped (malleable). Alloys are harder than pure metals because the different‑sized atoms disrupt the regular layers.

金属键是离域电子形成的“电子海”与金属阳离子之间的吸引力。这解释了金属的优良导电、导热性以及延展性。合金比纯金属更硬，因为不同大小的原子打乱了规则的层状排列。

3. Quantitative Chemistry | 定量化学

The relative formula mass (Mᵣ) is the sum of the relative atomic masses (Aᵣ) in a formula unit. You must be able to calculate the percentage mass of an element in a compound: % mass = (total mass of element in formula ÷ Mᵣ) × 100.

相对式量 (Mᵣ) 是化学式中各相对原子质量 (Aᵣ) 的总和。必须掌握化合物中元素的质量分数计算： 质量分数 % = (化学式中该元素总质量 ÷ Mᵣ) × 100。

The mole is the unit for amount of substance. One mole of any substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro constant). Mass (g) = moles × Mᵣ. You can use this to calculate reacting masses. For a balanced equation, the ratio of moles of reactants and products matches the coefficients.

摩尔是物质的量的单位。1 mol 任何物质含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个微粒（阿伏伽德罗常数）。质量 (g) = 物质的量 × Mᵣ。利用这一关系可计算反应质量。在已配平的方程式中，反应物与生成物的物质的量之比等于其计量数之比。

Conservation of mass: atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products. In reactions where a gas escapes, the mass may appear to decrease. You should be able to balance symbol equations and calculate atom economy and percentage yield.

质量守恒：化学反应中原子不会凭空产生或消失，故反应物总质量等于生成物总质量。若反应中有气体逸出，体系质量貌似减少。应能配平符号方程式，并计算原子经济性和产率。

4. Chemical Changes | 化学变化

Acids produce H⁺ ions in aqueous solution; alkalis produce OH⁻ ions. The pH scale goes from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly alkaline), with 7 being neutral. Strong acids fully ionise in water (e.g. HCl, HNO₃, H₂SO₄), while weak acids only partially ionise (e.g. ethanoic acid).

酸在水溶液中产生 H⁺，碱产生 OH⁻。pH 范围 0（强酸）至 14（强碱），7 为中性。强酸在水中完全电离（如 HCl、HNO₃、H₂SO₄），弱酸仅部分电离（如乙酸）。

Neutralisation: H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O. You need to know how to make soluble salts by reacting an acid with a base, a carbonate, or a metal. The reactivity series: Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Carbon, Zinc, Iron, Tin, Lead, Hydrogen, Copper, Silver, Gold. Metals above hydrogen react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.

中和反应：H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O。需掌握制备可溶盐的方法：酸与碱、碳酸盐或金属反应。金属活动性顺序：钾、钠、钙、镁、铝、碳、锌、铁、锡、铅、氢、铜、银、金。排在氢前面的金属能与酸反应生成盐和氢气。

Electrolysis is the breakdown of an ionic compound using direct current. In molten electrolysis, lead bromide forms lead at the cathode and bromine at the anode. In aqueous electrolysis, the discharge depends on the ion’s position in the reactivity series and concentration. You should be able to write half‑equations, e.g. at cathode: 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.

电解是用直流电分解离子化合物的过程。电解熔融溴化铅时，阴极生成铅，阳极生成溴。电解水溶液时，离子放电顺序取决于金属活动性顺序和离子浓度。须能书写半反应式，如阴极：2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂。

5. Energy Changes | 能量变化

Exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings, usually causing a temperature rise (e.g. combustion, oxidation, neutralisation). Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, causing a temperature drop (e.g. thermal decomposition, photosynthesis).

放热反应向环境释放能量，通常使温度升高（如燃烧、氧化、中和）。吸热反应从环境吸收能量，温度降低（如热分解、光合作用）。

In a reaction, energy is needed to break bonds (endothermic) and energy is released when new bonds form (exothermic). Overall energy change (ΔH) = energy of bonds broken – energy of bonds formed. A negative ΔH means exothermic; positive means endothermic. You must be able to calculate ΔH from bond energies.

反应中，破坏化学键需要吸热，形成新键则放热。总能量变化 (ΔH) = 断裂键总能量 – 形成键总能量。ΔH 为负表示放热反应，正值为吸热反应。需能根据键能计算 ΔH。

Practicals often involve measuring temperature change, e.g. reacting metals with acid or neutralising an acid with an alkali. You should be able to draw simple reaction profile diagrams, showing activation energy and overall energy change.

实验常涉及测量温度变化，如金属与酸反应或酸碱中和。应能绘制简易反应进程图，标示活化能和总能量变化。

6. Rate and Extent of Chemical Change | 反应速率与化学变化程度

Rate of reaction is the change in amount of reactant or product per unit time. You can measure rate by collecting gas in a syringe, measuring mass loss, or observing colour change / appearance of precipitate.

反应速率是单位时间内反应物或生成物量的变化。可通过注射器收集气体、测量质量损失或观察颜色/沉淀出现等方法测定速率。

Factors increasing rate: higher temperature (particles have more energy, more frequent successful collisions), higher concentration/pressure (more particles in same volume), larger surface area (more exposed reactant), and catalysts (lower activation energy by providing an alternative pathway).

加快反应速率的因素：升高温度（粒子能量更高，有效碰撞更频繁）、提高浓度/压强（单位体积粒子数增多）、增大表面积（更多反应物暴露）、加入催化剂（提供替代路径降低活化能）。

Reversible reactions reach a dynamic equilibrium in a closed system. The relative amounts of substances at equilibrium respond to changes according to Le Chatelier’s principle. For the Haber process, N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, high pressure favours the forward reaction (fewer gas moles), but a compromise temperature (about 450 °C) is used with an iron catalyst.

可逆反应在密闭体系中达到动态平衡。根据勒夏特列原理，平衡体系中各物质的量会随条件变化而移动。如合成氨反应 N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃，高压有利于正反应（气体分子数减少），但实际采用约 450 °C 的折中温度并配合铁催化剂。

7. Organic Chemistry | 有机化学

Crucial vocabulary: hydrocarbon (compound of hydrogen and carbon only), alkane (CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, saturated), alkene (CₙH₂ₙ, unsaturated with C=C double bond). Homologous series are families of compounds with the same functional group, same general formula, and gradual change in physical properties.

核心词汇：碳氢化合物（仅含碳和氢的化合物）、烷烃（CₙH₂ₙ₊₂，饱和）、烯烃（CₙH₂ₙ，含 C=C 双键，不饱和）。同系列是具有相同官能团、相同通式且物理性质呈递变的化合物家族。

Fractional distillation separates crude oil into fractions based on boiling points. Short‑chain hydrocarbons have low boiling points and are highly flammable; long‑chain hydrocarbons are viscous, have high boiling points, and are less flammable. Cracking breaks long alkanes into shorter alkanes and alkenes; alkenes can be tested with bromine water, turning from orange to colourless.

分馏根据沸点差异将原油分离成不同馏分。短链烃沸点低、易燃；长链烃粘度大、沸点高、不易燃。裂化将长链烷烃断裂为短链烷烃和烯烃；烯烃可使溴水褪色（由橙变无色）。

Alkenes undergo addition polymerisation to form polymers like poly(ethene). You need to draw diagrams showing the conversion of monomer to repeating unit. Alcohols contain the –OH functional group; ethanol is produced by fermentation (yeast, sugar, warm, anaerobic) or by steam hydration of ethene. Carboxylic acids have the –COOH group and form esters with alcohols (strong fruity smell).

烯烃经加成聚合生成高分子，如聚（乙烯）。要能画出单体转化为重复单元的示意图。醇含有 –OH 官能团；乙醇可通过发酵（酵母、糖、温热、无氧）或乙烯水化法制取。羧酸含 –COOH 基团，与醇反应生成酯（有强烈果香味）。

8. Chemical Analysis | 化学分析

Purity and formulations: a pure substance has a sharp melting point, while impurities lower the melting point and broaden the melting range. Formulations are mixtures designed for a specific purpose (e.g. paint, medicines, alloys).

纯物质与配方：纯净物有明确的单一熔点，杂质会使熔点降低并扩大熔程。配方是为特定用途设计的混合物（如涂料、药物、合金）。

Chromatography separates components of a mixture. Calculate Rf = distance moved by substance ÷ distance moved by solvent. Gas tests: chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper; oxygen relights a glowing splint; carbon dioxide turns limewater milky; hydrogen gives a squeaky pop with a lit splint.

色谱法可分离混合物组分。计算 Rf = 物质移动距离 ÷ 溶剂移动距离。气体检验：氯气漂白湿润的石蕊试纸；氧气使带火星木条复燃；二氧化碳使石灰水变浑浊；氢气遇燃着木条发出爆鸣声。

Flame tests: lithium (crimson), sodium (yellow), potassium (lilac), calcium (orange‑red), copper (green). Metal cations can be identified by hydroxide precipitates; many transition‑metal ions give coloured precipitates (e.g. Cu(OH)₂ is blue). Halide ions are detected by adding nitric acid and silver nitrate solution: chloride (white), bromide (cream), iodide (yellow). Carbonates fizz with acid and release CO₂; sulfates give a white precipitate with barium chloride (acidified).

焰色反应：锂（深红）、钠（黄）、钾（紫）、钙（砖红）、铜（绿）。金属阳离子可通过氢氧化物沉淀鉴别；许多过渡金属离子产生有色沉淀（如 Cu(OH)₂ 呈蓝色）。卤离子的检验：加入硝酸和硝酸银溶液，氯（白色）、溴（奶油色）、碘（黄色）。碳酸盐遇酸冒泡放出 CO₂；硫酸盐与（酸化）氯化钡溶液生成白色沉淀。

9. Chemistry of the Atmosphere | 大气化学

Earth’s early atmosphere was mostly CO₂, water vapour, and ammonia, with virtually no oxygen. Over billions of years, photosynthesis by algae and plants reduced CO₂ and increased O₂ levels. Carbonate sediments and fossil fuels locked carbon away.

地球早期大气主要含 CO₂、水蒸气和氨，几乎没有氧气。数十亿年来，藻类和植物的光合作用减少了 CO₂ 并提高了 O₂ 含量。碳酸盐沉积和化石燃料将碳封存起来。

Today’s atmosphere is about 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen, 0.9 % argon, and 0.04 % CO₂. Human activities, especially burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased the CO₂ concentration, contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming. Other pollutants include carbon monoxide (toxic, from incomplete combustion), sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides (cause acid rain), and particulates.

如今大气约含 78 % 氮气、21 % 氧气、0.9 % 氩气和 0.04 % CO₂。人类活动，特别是燃烧化石燃料和砍伐森林，使 CO₂ 浓度升高，强化了温室效应，导致全球变暖。其他污染物包括一氧化碳（有毒，来自不完全燃烧）、二氧化硫和氮氧化物（引起酸雨）以及颗粒物。

The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted over the full life cycle of a product, service, or event. Reducing the carbon footprint requires using renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and carbon capture technologies. The greenhouse effect itself is natural and essential for life, but an enhanced effect is harmful.

碳足迹是产品、服务或活动在全生命周期内排放的温室气体总量。减少碳足迹需使用可再生能源、提高能效和开发碳捕获技术。温室效应本身是自然且生命必需的，但强化后的温室效应危害严重。

10. Using Resources | 资源利用

Finite resources such as fossil fuels and metal ores must be used sustainably. Potable water is water safe to drink; it can come from fresh water sources (filtered and sterilised) or from sea water through desalination (distillation or reverse osmosis, which require large amounts of energy).

化石燃料和金属矿石等有限资源必须可持续地利用。饮用水是安全可饮用的水；可源自淡水（过滤消毒）或海水淡化（蒸馏或反渗透，能耗高）。

Sewage treatment involves screening, sedimentation, biological treatment, and additional sterilisation. Life cycle assessments (LCA) evaluate the environmental impact of products from raw material extraction to disposal. Reduce, reuse, and recycle minimise end‑of‑life waste and conserve resources.

污水处理包括过滤、沉降、生物处理和进一步消毒。生命周期评估（LCA）评价产品从原料获取到废弃处理的环境影响。减量、重用和回收可最大限度减少终端废弃物并节约资源。

The Haber process produces ammonia (NH₃) from N₂ and H₂; conditions of 450 °C, 200 atm and an iron catalyst are a compromise to achieve a satisfactory yield and rate. NPK fertilisers supply essential elements for plant growth: nitrogen for leaf growth, phosphorus for roots, and potassium for fruits and flowers. You should be able to compare industrial production with lab preparation.

哈伯法由 N₂ 和 H₂ 合成氨 (NH₃)；采用 450 °C、200 atm 和铁催化剂作为折中条件，以获得可接受的产率和速率。NPK 肥料提供植物生长的必需元素：氮促叶生长、磷促根系、钾促花果。需能比较工业生产和实验室制法的异同。
