1. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构和元素周期表
Atoms consist of a tiny nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons arranged in shells. The atomic number (Z) equals the number of protons, while the mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons.
原子由一个微小的原子核（含质子和中子）以及核外分层排布的电子组成。原子序数 (Z) 等于质子数，而质量数 (A) 是质子数与中子数之和。
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same proton number but different neutron numbers. They have identical chemical reactions but slightly different physical properties, such as mass and density.
同位素是指质子数相同而中子数不同的同种原子。它们化学性质相同，但质量、密度等物理性质略有差异。
Electron configuration follows the 2.8.8 rule for the first 20 elements. The number of electrons in the outer shell determines the group number, while the number of occupied shells indicates the period.
前 20 号元素的电子排布遵循 2.8.8 规则。最外层电子数决定族序数，已占据的电子层数等于周期数。
Across a period, elements change from metallic to non-metallic character. Down a group, reactivity increases for alkali metals but decreases for halogens. Noble gases are unreactive because they have a full outer shell.
同一周期从左到右，元素从金属性向非金属性递变。同一主族从上到下，碱金属反应性增强，卤素反应性减弱。稀有气体因最外层电子已满而极不活泼。
2. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构
Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals via electron transfer, forming oppositely charged ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. Giant ionic lattices have high melting points and conduct electricity only when molten or dissolved.
离子键通过电子转移在金属与非金属之间形成，产生阴阳离子，并由强静电引力维系。巨型离子晶格熔点很高，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 and CO₂ have low boiling points due to weak intermolecular forces, despite strong covalent bonds within the molecules.
共价键是非金属原子间通过共享电子对形成的。简单分子（如 H₂O 和 CO₂）内共价键很强，但分子间作用力弱，因此沸点较低。
Giant covalent structures (e.g. diamond, graphite, SiO₂) have very high melting points. Graphite conducts electricity due to delocalised electrons between layers, while diamond does not.
巨型共价结构（如金刚石、石墨、二氧化硅）具有极高的熔点。石墨因层间存在离域电子而能导电，金刚石则不能。
Metallic bonding arises from the attraction between positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electrons. This explains why metals are malleable, ductile, and excellent conductors of heat and electricity.
金属键是金属阳离子与离域电子海之间的静电吸引。这解释了金属具有延展性、可锻性以及优良的导电导热性。
3. Formulae, Equations and Moles | 化学式、方程式和摩尔
The empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound; the molecular formula gives the actual number of each atom. Calculations often involve converting mass to moles using m = n × Mᵣ.
实验式表示化合物中各原子的最简整数比，分子式则给出真实原子数目。计算时常利用 m = n × Mᵣ 将质量转化为摩尔数。
One mole of any substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles. The molar volume of any gas at room temperature and pressure (RTP) is 24 dm³ mol⁻¹. These relationships are essential for reacting-mass and gas-volume calculations.
1 摩尔任何物质含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个粒子。室温常压下，任何气体的摩尔体积均为 24 dm³ mol⁻¹。这两条关系是质量计算和气体体积计算的核心。
Chemical equations must be balanced to respect the law of conservation of mass. State symbols (s), (l), (g) and (aq) should be included where possible. Ionic equations focus only on the species that actually change during a reaction.
化学方程式必须配平以遵守质量守恒定律，并尽量标注状态符号 (s)、(l)、(g)、(aq)。离子方程式只写实际参与反应变化的物种。
Titration calculations rely on the formula: moles = concentration (mol dm⁻³) × volume (dm³). You must be able to work out unknown concentrations from balanced neutralisation reactions.
滴定计算基于公式：物质的量 = 浓度 (mol dm⁻³) × 体积 (dm³)。必须能根据配平的中和反应求出未知浓度。
4. Electrolysis | 电解
Electrolysis is the decomposition of an ionic compound by passing a direct electric current through its molten or aqueous form. Reduction happens at the cathode (negative electrode) and oxidation at the anode (positive electrode).
电解是向熔融态或水溶液中的离子化合物通入直流电使其分解的过程。在阴极（负极）发生还原，在阳极（正极）发生氧化。
In molten ionic compounds, the cation gains electrons at the cathode, while the anion loses electrons at the anode. For example, molten NaCl yields Na at the cathode and Cl₂ at the anode.
电解熔融离子化合物时，阳离子在阴极得电子，阴离子在阳极失电子。例如熔融 NaCl 在阴极生成 Na，在阳极生成 Cl₂。
In aqueous solutions, the products depend on the relative reactivity of the ions present. At the cathode, hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen; at the anode, oxygen is produced unless a concentrated halide is present.
电解水溶液时，产物取决于所含离子的反应性顺序。若金属活动性在氢之前，阴极就析出氢气；阳极通常生成氧气，但存在浓卤离子时优先析出卤素单质。
Aluminium is extracted by electrolysis of Al₂O₃ dissolved in molten cryolite. The use of cryolite lowers the operating temperature and reduces energy costs.
铝是通过电解溶于熔融冰晶石中的 Al₂O₃ 制得的。冰晶石能降低操作温度，节约能源成本。
5. Energetics | 能量学
Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings, causing a temperature rise (e.g. combustion, neutralisation). Endothermic reactions absorb energy, leading to a temperature drop (e.g. thermal decomposition).
放热反应向环境释放能量，使温度升高（如燃烧、中和）。吸热反应从环境吸收能量，导致温度下降（如热分解）。
Energy change (ΔH) can be calculated using bond energies: ΔH = total energy absorbed to break bonds − total energy released when forming bonds. A negative ΔH indicates an exothermic reaction.
可通过键能计算能量变化 (ΔH)：ΔH = 断键吸收的总能量 − 成键释放的总能量。ΔH 为负值即表示放热反应。
Reaction profile diagrams show the relative energies of reactants and products, as well as the activation energy. Catalysts lower the activation energy without altering ΔH.
反应进程图直观展示反应物与产物的相对能级以及活化能。催化剂可降低活化能，但不改变 ΔH。
Simple calorimetry experiments use a spirit burner or a polystyrene cup to measure temperature change, from which the heat energy released or absorbed can be estimated.
简易量热实验使用酒精灯或聚苯乙烯杯测量温度变化，借此估算反应释放或吸收的热量。
6. Rates of Reaction and Equilibrium | 反应速率和平衡
The rate of a reaction is affected by concentration, temperature, surface area of solids, pressure of gases, and the presence of a catalyst. Collision theory states that particles must collide with sufficient energy (≥ activation energy) and correct orientation.
反应速率受浓度、温度、固体表面积、气体压强以及催化剂影响。碰撞理论指出，粒子必须发生有效碰撞，即能量不低于活化能且取向合适。
Increasing temperature increases both collision frequency and the proportion of particles with energy greater than the activation energy, causing a dramatic rate increase.
升高温度既增加碰撞频率，又提高活化分子所占比例，从而显著加快反应速率。
Reversible reactions can reach dynamic equilibrium in a closed system. The equilibrium position shifts to oppose any change in concentration, temperature or pressure (Le Chatelier’s principle).
可逆反应在密闭体系中会达到动态平衡。平衡位置会朝着抵消浓度、温度或压强改变的方向移动（勒夏特列原理）。
For the Haber process (N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃), a compromise temperature of 450 °C and a pressure of 200 atm are used, together with an iron catalyst to speed up the attainment of equilibrium.
哈伯法合成氨 (N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃) 采用 450 °C 和 200 atm 的折中条件，并使用铁催化剂加快达到平衡的速率。
7. Acids, Bases and Salts | 酸、碱和盐
Acids are proton (H⁺) donors; bases are proton acceptors. Alkalis are soluble bases that release OH⁻ ions in water. The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, with neutral solutions having pH 7.
酸是质子 (H⁺) 的给予体，碱是质子接受体。可溶的碱在水中产生 OH⁻，称为碱。pH 标度衡量溶液的酸碱性，中性溶液的 pH 为 7。
Neutralisation involves the reaction H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O. Acid–metal oxide/hydroxide reactions also produce a salt and water, while acid–carbonate reactions produce a salt, water and CO₂.
中和反应的实质是 H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O。酸与金属氧化物或氢氧化物反应生成盐和水，酸与碳酸盐反应则生成盐、水和 CO₂。
Preparing a pure soluble salt requires an acid reacting with an insoluble base or carbonate, followed by filtration and crystallisation. Titration is used when both reactants are soluble.
制备纯净的可溶性盐时，可令酸与不溶性碱或碳酸盐反应，再经过滤和结晶获得。若两种反应物均可溶，则采用滴定法。
Precipitation reactions form an insoluble salt when two aqueous solutions are mixed. These are used in qualitative analysis, e.g. identifying halides with silver nitrate.
两种水溶液混合生成不溶性盐的沉淀反应常用于定性分析，例如用硝酸银鉴别卤离子。
8. The Reactivity Series and Metal Extraction | 金属活性顺序及提取
The reactivity series lists metals in order of decreasing tendency to lose electrons: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Sn > Pb > Cu > Ag > Au. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
金属活动性顺序按失去电子的倾向递减排列：K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Sn > Pb > Cu > Ag > Au。活泼金属能够把较不活泼金属从其化合物中置换出来。
Metals below carbon in the series can be extracted by reduction with carbon or carbon monoxide. For example, iron is obtained from haematite (Fe₂O₃) in a blast furnace using CO as the reducing agent.
位于碳以下的金属可用碳或一氧化碳还原提取。例如在高炉中用 CO 还原赤铁矿 (Fe₂O₃) 获得铁。
Metals above carbon are extracted by electrolysis of their molten compounds, because they are too reactive to be reduced by carbon. This is how aluminium and sodium are produced.
比碳更活泼的金属无法被碳还原，只能通过电解其熔融化合物制取。铝、钠等就是这么生产的。
Rusting of iron requires both oxygen and water. Barrier methods, sacrificial protection (using zinc or magnesium) and galvanising are common rust-prevention strategies.
铁生锈需要水和氧气同时存在。防锈措施包括隔离涂层、牺牲阳极保护（用锌或镁）以及镀锌等。
9. Introduction to Organic Chemistry | 有机化学入门
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. They are relatively unreactive but undergo combustion and substitution reactions with halogens in UV light.
烷烃是通式为 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ 的饱和烃，化学性质较稳定，但能发生燃烧反应和在紫外光下与卤素的取代反应。
Alkenes have the general formula CₙH₂ₙ and contain a C＝C double bond. They decolourise bromine water in an addition reaction, a key test for unsaturation.
烯烃的通式为 CₙH₂ₙ，含有 C＝C 双键。它们能使溴水褪色，发生加成反应，这是检出不饱和键的重要方法。
Alcohols (e.g. ethanol C₂H₅OH) can be made by fermentation of sugars or by hydration of ethene. They oxidise to carboxylic acids; for example, ethanol → ethanoic acid.
醇（如乙醇 C₂H₅OH）可由糖类发酵或乙烯水合制得。醇可被氧化为羧酸，如乙醇氧化生成乙酸。
Carboxylic acids react with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst to form esters and water. Esters have pleasant fruity smells and are used as flavourings and solvents.
羧酸在酸催化下与醇反应生成酯和水。酯具有宜人的果香，常用作食用香精和溶剂。
10. Chemical Analysis and Tests | 化学分析与测试
Flame tests identify metal cations: Li⁺ crimson, Na⁺ yellow, K⁺ lilac, Ca²⁺ orange-red, Cu²⁺ blue-green. Sodium hydroxide precipitation tests produce coloured hydroxides that distinguish many metal ions in solution.
焰色反应可鉴别金属阳离子：Li⁺ 深红色、Na⁺ 黄色、K⁺ 淡紫色、Ca²⁺ 砖红色、Cu²⁺ 蓝绿色。加入氢氧化钠溶液生成的彩色沉淀也能区分水溶液中的多种金属离子。
Anion tests include: carbonate (add dilute acid, CO₂ turns limewater milky); halides (add silver nitrate, white precipitate with Cl⁻, cream with Br⁻, yellow with I⁻); sulfate (add BaCl₂, white precipitate).
阴离子检验：碳酸根（加稀酸，产生的 CO₂ 使石灰水变浑浊）；卤离子（加硝酸银，Cl⁻ 白色沉淀，Br⁻ 淡黄色沉淀，I⁻ 黄色沉淀）；硫酸根（加 BaCl₂ 溶液，白色沉淀）。
Gas tests: hydrogen gives a squeaky pop with a lighted splint; oxygen relights a glowing splint; carbon dioxide turns limewater milky; ammonia turns damp red litmus blue; chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper.
