1. Stoichiometry & The Mole Concept | 化学计量与摩尔概念

The mole is the SI unit for amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.02214076 × 10²³ elementary entities (Avogadro constant, NA).

摩尔是物质的量的国际单位。1 摩尔恰好含有 6.02214076 × 10²³ 个基本单元(阿伏伽德罗常数 NA)。

n = m / M    and    n = cV    and    n = V / Vm

Empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound; molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms. To find an empirical formula, convert masses or percentages to moles, then divide by the smallest mole value.

实验式(最简式)是化合物中各原子的最简整数比;分子式给出实际原子数。确定实验式的步骤:将质量或质量分数转换为物质的量,再除以最小的物质的量。

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100%. Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / total molar mass of all products) × 100%. High atom economy is greener.

产率 = (实际产量 / 理论产量) × 100%。原子经济性 = (目标产物摩尔质量 / 所有产物总摩尔质量) × 100%。原子经济性越高,过程越绿色。

In redox titrations, the reacting ratio must be deduced from the balanced half-equations. Common oxidising agents: KMnO₄, K₂Cr₂O₇. Common reducing agents: Fe²⁺, I⁻, S₂O₃²⁻.

氧化还原滴定中,计量比必须从配平的半反应方程式推出。常见氧化剂:KMnO₄、K₂Cr₂O₇。常见还原剂:Fe²⁺、I⁻、S₂O₃²⁻。


2. Atomic Structure & Electron Configuration | 原子结构与电子排布

Atoms consist of protons (atomic number Z), neutrons, and electrons. Isotopes have the same Z but different mass numbers (A = protons + neutrons).

原子由质子(原子序数 Z)、中子和电子构成。同位素质子数相同但质量数不同(A = 质子数 + 中子数)。

Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p… The 4s orbital fills before 3d, but also empties before 3d when forming ions (e.g., Fe²⁺ = [Ar]3d⁶).

电子按能量递增顺序填充轨道:1s、2s、2p、3s、3p、4s、3d、4p……4s 轨道先于 3d 填充,但形成离子时 4s 电子先失去(如 Fe²⁺ = [Ar]3d⁶)。

First ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions. It increases across a period due to greater nuclear charge and decreases down a group due to increased shielding and distance.

第一电离能是指从 1 摩尔气态原子中移走 1 摩尔电子形成 1 摩尔气态 1+ 离子所需的能量。同周期从左到右,因核电荷增大而升高;同族从上到下,因屏蔽与距离增大而降低。

An s-orbital is spherical; three p-orbitals are dumbbell shaped (px, py, pz). The periodic table is divided into s-, p-, d- and f-blocks according to the subshell being filled.

s 轨道呈球形;三个 p 轨道呈哑铃形(px、py、pz)。周期表根据填充的亚层分为 s 区、p 区、d 区和 f 区。


3. Chemical Bonding & Structure | 化学键与结构

Ionic bonding involves electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, formed by electron transfer. Giant ionic lattices have high melting points and conduct electricity when molten or aqueous.

离子键通过电子转移形成,是带相反电荷离子间的静电引力。巨型离子晶格具有高熔点,在熔融或水溶液中导电。

Metallic bonding is the attraction between delocalised electrons and a lattice of positive metal ions. It explains malleability, ductility and conductivity.

金属键是离域电子与正离子晶格之间的引力,这解释了金属的延展性和导电性。

Covalent bonding results from the sharing of electron pairs. Discrete molecules use double or triple bonds; giant covalent structures (diamond, graphite, SiO₂) have high melting points.

共价键通过共用电子对形成。简单分子中存在双键或三键;巨型共价结构(金刚石、石墨、SiO₂)具有极高熔点。

VSEPR theory: electron pairs repel to minimise repulsion. Common shapes: linear (BeCl₂, CO₂), trigonal planar (BF₃), tetrahedral (CH₄), pyramidal (NH₃), bent (H₂O). Bond angles: 180°, 120°, 109.5°, 107°, 104.5°.

价层电子对互斥理论:电子对相互排斥。常见形状:直线形(BeCl₂, CO₂)、平面三角形(BF₃)、四面体形(CH₄)、三角锥形(NH₃)、V 形(H₂O)。键角分别为 180°、120°、109.5°、107°、104.5°。

Electronegativity: the ability of an atom to attract bonding electrons. Bond polarity leads to dipole moments. Intermolecular forces: instantaneous dipole-induced dipole (London forces), permanent dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonds (with N, O, F).

电负性是原子吸引成键电子的能力。键的极性产生偶极矩。分子间作用力:瞬时偶极-诱导偶极(伦敦力)、永久偶极-偶极相互作用以及氢键(与 N、O、F 相连)。


4. Energetics & Hess’s Law | 能量学与盖斯定律

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is the heat transferred at constant pressure. Standard conditions: 298 K, 100 kPa, all solutions 1 mol dm⁻³. Exothermic: ΔH negative; Endothermic: ΔH positive.

焓变(ΔH)是恒压下的热效应。标准条件:298 K、100 kPa、溶液浓度 1 mol dm⁻³。放热反应 ΔH 为负,吸热反应 ΔH 为正。

ΔH = ΣΔHf°(products) – ΣΔHf°(reactants)    or    ΔH = Σ (bond enthalpies broken) – Σ (bond enthalpies formed)

Hess’s Law: the enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the route, provided the initial and final conditions are the same. Use energy cycles to find unknown ΔH.

盖斯定律:一个反应的焓变只取决于始态和终态,与途径无关。利用能量循环求算未知 ΔH。

Average bond enthalpy refers to breaking one mole of bonds in the gaseous state, averaged over similar compounds. It is only approximate because bond energies depend on the molecular environment.

平均键能是指气态下断裂 1 摩尔化学键所需能量的平均值,取自多种化合物。它只是近似值,因为键能受分子环境影响。

Born-Haber cycles link lattice enthalpy, ionisation energies, electron affinity, and enthalpy of formation. Lattice enthalpy becomes more exothermic with smaller ionic radius and larger charges.

玻恩-哈伯循环将晶格焓、电离能、电子亲合能和生成焓关联起来。离子半径越小、电荷越高,晶格焓越负。

Entropy (S) is a measure of disorder. Gibbs free energy: ΔG = ΔH – TΔS. A reaction is feasible at constant T and P when ΔG < 0.

熵(S)是混乱度的量度。吉布斯自由能:ΔG = ΔH – TΔS。在恒温恒压下,ΔG < 0 时反应可行。


5. Kinetics & Reaction Mechanisms | 动力学与反应机理

The rate of reaction is measured as change in concentration per unit time. Rate equations are experimentally determined: Rate = k[A]m[B]n, where m and n are orders of reaction.

反应速率用单位时间内浓度的变化表示。速率方程由实验确定:Rate = k[A]m[B]n,m 和 n 是反应级数。

The rate constant k is only affected by temperature. The Arrhenius equation: k = A e^(-Ea/RT). A larger activation energy (Ea) means a slower rate.

速率常数 k 只受温度影响。阿伦尼乌斯公式:k = A e^(-Ea/RT)。活化能 Ea 越大,反应越慢。

Catalysts provide an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. They do not affect the position of equilibrium or the enthalpy change. Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase as reactants; heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase.

催化剂提供活化能更低的反应途径。它不改变平衡位置,也不改变焓变。均相催化剂与反应物同相;多相催化剂处于不同相。

Rate-determining step (RDS) is the slowest step in a multi-step mechanism. The orders in the rate equation match the molecularity of the RDS.

决速步(速率控制步骤)是多步机理中最慢的一步。速率方程中的级数与决速步的分子数一致。

For a typical SN2 reaction, Rate = k[RX][Nu⁻], second order overall. For SN1, Rate = k[RX], first order, with a carbocation intermediate.

典型的 SN2 反应:Rate = k[RX][Nu⁻],总级数为 2。SN1 反应:Rate = k[RX],一级,经历碳正离子中间体。


6. Chemical Equilibria & Le Châtelier’s Principle | 化学平衡与勒夏特列原理

Dynamic equilibrium: forward and reverse reactions proceed at equal rates in a closed system, macroscopic properties remain constant.

动态平衡:在封闭体系中,正逆反应速率相等,宏观性质保持不变。

The equilibrium constant Kc = [products]ᵖ / [reactants]ʳ. Kc is temperature dependent but unaffected by concentration or pressure changes. A large Kc indicates the equilibrium lies to the right.

平衡常数 Kc = [产物]ᵖ / [反应物]ʳ。Kc 只随温度变化,不受浓度或压强影响。Kc 大表示平衡偏向产物侧。

For gases, Kp = (PC^c PD^d) / (PA^a PB^b). Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure.

对于气体,Kp = (PC^c PD^d) / (PA^a PB^b)。分压 = 摩尔分数 × 总压。

Le Châtelier’s principle: if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it shifts to counteract the change. Increasing temperature favours the endothermic direction; increasing pressure favours the side with fewer gas moles.

勒夏特列原理:若平衡体系受到扰动,体系会朝减弱该变化的方向移动。升温有利于吸热方向;加压有利于气体分子数较少的一侧。

The Haber process: N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, ΔH = -92 kJ mol⁻¹. Compromise conditions: ~200 atm, ~450°C, iron catalyst. Contact process: 2SO₂ + O₂ ⇌ 2SO₃, V₂O₅ catalyst, ~450°C, atmospheric pressure.

哈伯法:N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃,ΔH = -92 kJ mol⁻¹。折衷条件:约 200 atm、约 450°C、铁催化剂。接触法:2SO₂ + O₂ ⇌ 2SO₃,V₂O₅ 催化剂,~450°C,常压。


7. Acids, Bases & Buffers | 酸、碱和缓冲溶液

Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor; base is a proton acceptor. Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by one H⁺.

布朗斯特-劳里酸是质子给体,碱是质子受体。共轭酸碱对相差一个 H⁺。

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]; pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]; pKw = pH + pOH = 14.00 at 298 K. For a strong acid, [H⁺] = [acid] × basicity.

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺];pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻];pKw = pH + pOH = 14.00(298 K)。强酸:[H⁺] = [酸] × 元数。

Weak acid: Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA], pKa = -log₁₀Ka. Approximate [H⁺] = √(Ka × [HA]) for small dissociation. Buffers are mixtures of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or weak base and its conjugate acid).

弱酸:Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA],pKa = -log₁₀Ka。解离度很小时近似 [H⁺] = √(Ka × [HA])。缓冲溶液由弱酸及其共轭碱(或弱碱及其共轭酸)组成。

Buffer pH calculation: pH = pKa + log₁₀([salt]/[acid]). Buffers resist small additions of acid or alkali. Important in biological systems (blood pH ~7.4).

缓冲溶液 pH 计算:pH = pKa + log₁₀([盐]/[酸])。缓冲区可以抵抗少量酸或碱的加入,在生物体系中至关重要(血液 pH 约 7.4)。

Acid-base titration curves show pH versus volume of added base. Choice of indicator depends on the pH at the equivalence point. Methyl orange (pH 3.1-4.4) suits strong acid-strong base; phenolphthalein (pH 8.3-10.0) is better for weak acid-strong base.

酸碱滴定曲线显示 pH 随加入碱体积的变化。指示剂选择取决于等当点的 pH。甲基橙(pH 3.1-4.4)适合强酸强碱;酚酞(pH 8.3-10.0)适合弱酸强碱。


8. Redox Reactions & Electrochemistry | 氧化还原与电化学

Oxidation is loss of electrons (increase in oxidation number); reduction is gain of electrons (decrease in oxidation number). A redox reaction always involves both processes.

氧化是失电子(氧化数升高);还原是得电子(氧化数降低)。氧化还原反应中两者必同时发生。

Half-equations are balanced by adding H⁺ and H₂O in acidic medium. Overall equation = oxidation half + reduction half, with electrons cancelling.

在酸性介质中用 H⁺ 和 H₂O 配平半反应。总方程式 = 氧化半反应 + 还原半反应,消去电子。

Standard electrode potential E° measures the tendency of a species to be reduced. More positive E° means stronger oxidising agent. The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) has E° = 0 V by definition.

标准电极电势 E° 衡量物种被还原的倾向。E° 越正,氧化剂越强。标准氢电极(SHE)定义为其 E° = 0 V。

E°cell = E°cathode – E°anode. A positive cell potential indicates a spontaneous reaction (ΔG negative).

E°cell = E°阴极 – E°阳极。电池电势为正,说明反应自发(ΔG 为负)。

Electrolysis: an external power source forces a non-spontaneous redox reaction. In aqueous electrolysis, water may compete. At the anode: oxidation, anions discharge; at the cathode: reduction, cations discharge. Faraday constant F = 96 500 C mol⁻¹.

电解利用外电源驱动非自发的氧化还原反应。在水溶液中,水可能参与竞争。阳极:氧化,阴离子放电;阴极:还原,阳离子放电。法拉第常数 F = 96 500 C mol⁻¹。

Examples: electrolysis of brine (NaCl(aq)) yields H₂ at cathode, Cl₂ at anode, NaOH in solution. Purification of copper uses impure anode and pure cathode.

实例:电解饱和食盐水,阴极产生 H₂,阳极产生 Cl₂,溶液中生成 NaOH。铜的精炼使用粗铜阳极和纯铜阴极。


9. Periodicity & Group Trends | 周期性与族趋势

Atomic radius decreases across Period 3 (Na → Ar) because nuclear charge increases while shielding remains similar. It increases down Group 2 and Group 17 as extra shells are added.

第三周期从左到右(Na → Ar),原子半径减小,因为核电荷增加而屏蔽效应相近。第二族和第十七族从上到下,半径增大,因为电子层增加。

First ionisation energy generally increases across a period, but there are dips between Be and B (2p begins) and between N and O (pairing in 2p). Across Period 3, the trend is similar.

第一电离能同周期从左到右总体升高,但在 Be 与 B 之间(2p 开始填充)和 N 与 O 之间(2p 轨道电子配对)出现降低。第三周期趋势类似。

Melting points of Period 3 elements: Na, Mg, Al (metallic, increases with delocalised electrons); Si (giant covalent, very high); P₄, S₈ (simple molecular, low); Cl₂ and Ar (very low).

第三周期元素熔点:Na、Mg、Al(金属键,随离域电子数增加而升高);Si(巨型共价,极高);P₄、S₈(简单分子,低);Cl₂ 和 Ar(极低)。

Group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) react with water: Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂ (slow); Ca, Sr, Ba react more vigorously. Solubility of hydroxides increases down the group, solubility of sulfates decreases.

第二族元素(碱土金属)与水反应:Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂(缓慢);Ca、Sr、Ba 反应更剧烈。氢氧化物溶解度向下增大,硫酸盐溶解度向下减小。

Group 17 (halogens) are diatomic molecules. Electronegativity and reactivity decrease down the group. Displacement reactions: Cl₂ displaces Br⁻ and I⁻; Br₂ displaces I⁻.

第十七族(卤素)为双原子分子。电负性和反应性向下递减。置换反应:Cl₂ 可置换 Br⁻ 和 I⁻;Br₂ 可置换 I⁻。

A transition element is a d-block element that forms at least one stable ion with a partially filled d subshell. Key properties: variable oxidation states, coloured compounds, catalytic activity, formation of complexes.

过渡元素是指 d 区元素中能形成至少一种具有部分填充 d 亚层的稳定离子的元素。主要性质:多变氧化态、形成有色化合物、催化活性、形成配合物。

Ligands are molecules or ions that donate a lone pair to a central metal ion. Monodentate ligands (H₂O:, :NH₃, :Cl⁻) form one coordinate bond; bidentate ligands such as ethane-1,2-diamine (en) or ethanedioate (C₂O₄²⁻) form two. EDTA⁴⁻ is a hexadentate ligand.

配体是向中心金属离子提供孤对电子的分子或离子。单齿配体(H₂O:、:NH₃、:Cl⁻)形成一个配位键;双齿配体如乙二胺(en)或乙二酸根(C₂O₄²⁻)形成两个。EDTA⁴⁻ 是六齿配体。

Shapes: octahedral (6-coordinate, e.g., [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺), tetrahedral (4-coordinate, e.g., [CuCl₄]²⁻), square planar (cisplatin, [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂]).

配合物形状:八面体(6 配位,如 [Cu(H₂O)₆]²⁺)、四面体(4 配位,如 [CuCl₄]²⁻)、平面正方形(顺铂,[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂])。

Stereoisomerism in complexes: cis-trans isomerism in octahedral (e.g., [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]⁺) and square planar complexes (cisplatin and transplatin). Optical isomerism occurs with bidentate ligands (e.g., [Ni(en)₃]²⁺).

配合物的立体异构:八面体和平面正方形配合物中存在顺反异构(如 [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]⁺,顺铂与反铂)。含双齿配体的配合物存在旋光异构(如 [Ni(en)₃]²⁺)。

Colour arises from d-d electron transitions: white light absorption promotes an electron within the split d-orbitals. The colour observed is complementary to the colour absorbed. Changes in ligand or oxidation state alter the splitting energy ΔE, hence the colour.

颜色来源于 d-d 电子跃迁:吸收白光使分裂的 d 轨道间的电子跃迁。观测到的颜色是吸收光的互补色。配体或氧化态的改变会影响分裂能 ΔE,从而改变颜色。


11. Organic Chemistry Fundamentals | 有机化学基础

Organic compounds are based on carbon skeletons. Functional groups determine chemical behaviour. Homologous series: same functional group, differs by CH₂, similar chemical properties and gradual trends in physical properties.

有机化合物以碳骨架为基础,官能团决定化学性质。同系物:官能团相同,相差一个或多个 CH₂,化学性质相似,物理性质递变。

IUPAC naming: identify longest carbon chain, number so functional group has the lowest locant, name substituents alphabetically. Examples: CH₃CH₂COOH is propanoic acid; CH₃COCH₂CH₃ is butan-2-one.

IUPAC 命名法:选择最长碳链,使官能团位次最小,取代基按字母顺序命名。例如 CH₃CH₂COOH 为丙
