1. Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration | 原子结构与电子排布

The atom consists of a tiny, dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbitals. Relative mass: proton ≈ 1, neutron ≈ 1, electron ≈ 1/1836. Atomic number (Z) = number of protons; mass number (A) = protons + neutrons. Ions form by loss or gain of electrons.

原子由一个微小致密的原子核(含质子和中子)和核外轨道中的电子构成。相对质量:质子≈1,中子≈1,电子≈1/1836。原子序数(Z)=质子数;质量数(A)=质子数+中子数。离子通过失去或得到电子形成。

Electrons occupy principal energy levels (n = 1, 2, 3, …) and sub-levels (s, p, d). Orbitals: s (spherical, max 2 e⁻), p (dumbbell, 3 orientations, max 6 e⁻), d (5 orbitals, max 10 e⁻). Each orbital holds a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. The order of filling follows the Aufbau principle: 1s → 2s → 2p → 3s → 3p → 4s → 3d → 4p. Hund’s rule: electrons occupy degenerate orbitals singly before pairing.

电子占据主能级(n=1,2,3…)和亚层(s,p,d)。轨道:s球形,最多容纳2个电子;p哑铃形,3个取向,最多6个电子;d轨道5个,最多10个电子。每个轨道最多容纳两个自旋相反的电子。填充顺序遵循构造原理:1s→2s→2p→3s→3p→4s→3d→4p。洪特规则:电子先单独占据简并轨道,再成对。

Electronic configurations are written using noble gas shorthand, e.g. Na: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne]3s¹. For transition metal ions, electrons are removed from 4s before 3d: Fe: [Ar]4s²3d⁶, Fe²⁺: [Ar]3d⁶.

电子排布可用稀有气体简写,如Na:1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹或[Ne]3s¹。过渡金属离子失去电子时先失4s电子:Fe:[Ar]4s²3d⁶,Fe²⁺:[Ar]3d⁶。

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. They have identical chemical properties but different physical properties (e.g. density, mass). A mass spectrometer provides relative atomic mass (Aᵣ) from isotope abundance data.

同位素是质子数相同、中子数不同的原子。化学性质相同,物理性质不同(如密度、质量)。质谱仪通过同位素丰度数据测定相对原子质量(Aᵣ)。


2. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed between a metal and a non-metal. Lattice enthalpy reflects the strength of the ionic bond. Giant ionic lattices are hard, brittle, have high melting points, and conduct electricity when molten or dissolved.

离子键是异号离子间的静电吸引力,通常形成于金属与非金属之间。晶格焓反映离子键强度。巨型离子晶格坚硬、脆性、熔点高,熔融或溶于水时能导电。

Covalent bonding is the sharing of a pair of electrons between atoms. A dative (coordinate) bond is a covalent bond in which both electrons originate from the same atom. Multiple bonds: single (σ), double (σ + π), triple (σ + 2π).

共价键是原子间共用电子对。配位键(配位共价键)指共用电子对均由同一原子提供的共价键。多重键:单键(σ键)、双键(σ+π)、叁键(σ+2π)。

Metallic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between metal cations and a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons. This explains high melting points, malleability, ductility, and electrical conductivity.

金属键是金属阳离子与“电子海”(离域电子)之间的强静电引力。这解释了高熔点、延展性、可塑性和导电性。

Shape (English) 形状(中文) Bond angle Example
Linear 直线形 180° BeCl₂, CO₂
Trigonal planar 平面三角形 120° BF₃, SO₃
Tetrahedral 正四面体形 109.5° CH₄, NH₄⁺
Pyramidal 三角锥形 ≈107° NH₃
Bent / V-shaped 角形/V形 ≈104.5° H₂O, SO₂
Trigonal bipyramidal 三角双锥形 90°, 120° PF₅
Octahedral 正八面体形 90° SF₆

Use VSEPR theory: electron pairs (bonding + lone pairs) repel to positions of minimum repulsion. Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs, reducing bond angles.

运用价层电子对互斥(VSEPR)理论:电子对(成键电子对+孤电子对)互相排斥,趋向排斥最小位置。孤对电子排斥力大于成键电子对,使得键角变小。

Intermolecular forces: (1) London (dispersion) forces present in all molecules, increasing with electron cloud size; (2) permanent dipole–dipole forces between polar molecules; (3) hydrogen bonding – a special strong dipole–dipole attraction when H is bonded to N, O or F. Hydrogen bonding accounts for the unexpectedly high boiling points of H₂O, NH₃ and HF.

分子间作用力:(1) 伦敦色散力存在于所有分子,随电子云增大而增强;(2) 极性分子间永久偶极–偶极作用力;(3) 氢键——当H与N、O、F成键时产生的特殊强偶极作用。氢键解释了H₂O、NH₃和HF的异常高沸点。


3. Amount of Substance and Stoichiometry | 物质的量与计量学

The mole is the amount of substance containing the same number of entities as atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon‑12. Avogadro constant, L ≈ 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹. Key equations: n = m / M, n = N / L, n = V (gas) / Vₘ (Vₘ = 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹ at RTP).

摩尔是所含基本单元数与12g碳‑12的原子数相等的物质量。阿伏伽德罗常数L≈6.022×10²³ mol⁻¹。核心公式:n=m/M,n=N/L,n=V(气体)/Vₘ(室温常压下Vₘ=24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹)。

Empirical formula = simplest whole‑number ratio of atoms in a compound; molecular formula = actual number of atoms. Use percentage composition or combustion data.

实验式(最简式)=化合物中各原子最简整数比;分子式=原子实际个数。通过质量百分数或燃烧数据计算。

Reacting mass calculations: write balanced equation, convert masses to moles, identify limiting reagent, calculate moles of desired substance, convert to mass. Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100. Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / total molar mass of reactants) × 100.

反应质量计算:配平方程式,质量换算成物质的量,确定限量试剂,计算目标物物质的量,再转化为质量。产率=(实际产量/理论产量)×100。原子经济性=(目标产物摩尔质量/反应物总摩尔质量)×100。

Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT, where p in Pa, V in m³, T in K, R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. Remember 1 dm³ = 10⁻³ m³ and 1 atm = 101 325 Pa.

理想气体方程:pV=nRT,p单位Pa,V单位m³,T单位K,R=8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹。注意1 dm³=10⁻³ m³,1 atm=101 325 Pa。

Titration: nₐcₐVₐ = n_bc_bV_b (n = stoichiometric coefficient). Concordant titres within 0.10 cm³. Use indicator: e.g. phenolphthalein (pink in alkali) or methyl orange.

滴定:nₐcₐVₐ=n_bc_bV_b(n为化学计量数)。滴定误差在0.10 cm³以内为吻合。指示剂选择:如酚酞(碱中粉红色)或甲基橙。


4. Energetics: Enthalpy Changes | 能量学:焓变

Enthalpy change, ΔH, is the heat energy transferred under constant pressure. Exothermic reactions release heat (ΔH negative); endothermic reactions absorb heat (ΔH positive). Standard conditions: 100 kPa, 298 K, solutions 1 mol dm⁻³.

焓变ΔH是恒压下传递的热量。放热反应释放热量(ΔH负值);吸热反应吸收热量(ΔH正值)。标准条件:100 kPa、298 K、溶液浓度1 mol dm⁻³。

Definitions you must memorise: Standard enthalpy of combustion (ΔH_c⦵): enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in excess oxygen. Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH_f⦵): enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states. Standard enthalpy of neutralisation (ΔH_neut⦵): enthalpy change when an acid and an alkali react to form 1 mole of water.

必须牢记的定义:标准燃烧焓(ΔH_c⦵):1 mol物质在过量氧气中完全燃烧的焓变。标准生成焓(ΔH_f⦵):由标准态单质生成1 mol化合物的焓变。标准中和焓(ΔH_neut⦵):酸碱反应生成1 mol水的焓变。

Calorimetry: q = mcΔT. Then calculate ΔH from q = −qₛᵧₛₜₑₘ / n. In solution reactions, assume density = 1 g cm⁻³ and specific heat capacity = 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹. Major source of error: heat loss; improve by insulation, lid, and stirring.

量热法:q=mcΔT。再由ΔH=−q/ n求得。溶液反应中,设密度=1 g cm⁻³、比热容=4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹。主要误差来源为热量散失,可通过保温、加盖、搅拌改善。

Hess’s law: the enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken. Construct an enthalpy cycle using formation or combustion data: ΔH_reaction = Σ ΔH_f⦵(products) − Σ ΔH_f⦵(reactants).

盖斯定律:反应焓变与途径无关。利用生成焓或燃烧焓构建焓变循环:ΔH反应= Σ ΔH_f⦵(产物) − Σ ΔH_f⦵(反应物)。

Bond enthalpy: the energy required to break one mole of a covalent bond averaged over a range of compounds. ΔH ≈ Σ (bond energies broken) − Σ (bond energies made). Be aware that mean bond enthalpies are less accurate.

键焓(平均键能):在多种化合物中断裂1 mol共价键所需的平均能量。ΔH ≈ Σ(断裂的键能) − Σ(生成的键能)。注意平均键焓精度较低。


5. Kinetics: Rate of Reaction | 动力学:反应速率

Rate = change in concentration (or mass/volume) per unit time. Use initial rates, continuous monitoring (gas volume, mass loss, colorimetry), and clock reactions. For a reaction A → B, rate = k[A]^m, where m is the order with respect to A.

速率 = 浓度(或质量/体积)变化量除以时间。常用方法:初始速率法、连续监测(气体体积、质量减少、比色法)和时钟反应。对反应A→B,速率=k[A]^m,m为对A的反应级数。

Collision theory: particles must collide with sufficient energy (E ≥ activation energy, Eₐ) and correct orientation. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution: the area under the curve represents total particles. Increasing temperature shifts the distribution to higher energies, with many more particles exceeding Eₐ, dramatically increasing rate.

碰撞理论:粒子必须具有足够能量(E≥活化能Eₐ)和正确取向才能反应。麦克斯韦–玻尔兹曼分布:曲线下面积代表总粒子数。升高温度使分布向高能端移动,超过Eₐ的粒子数目大增,速率显著提高。

Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower Eₐ; they remain chemically unchanged. Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase as reactants; heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase (often solids with high surface area).

催化剂提供活化能较低的反应途径;自身化学性质不变。均相催化剂与反应物同相;多相催化剂处于不同相(常为高比表面积固体)。

Effect of concentration/pressure: more particles per unit volume → higher collision frequency → increased rate. Effect of surface area: smaller particles → greater total surface area → more frequent collisions.

浓度/压强影响:单位体积粒子数增加→碰撞频率提高→速率加快。表面积影响:颗粒越小→总表面积越大→碰撞频率增加。


6. Equilibria: Le Chatelier’s Principle | 平衡:勒夏特列原理

Dynamic equilibrium: forward and reverse reactions proceed at equal rates; macroscopic properties remain constant. Le Chatelier’s Principle: if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the position of equilibrium shifts to oppose the change.

动态平衡:正逆反应速率相等,宏观性质恒定。勒夏特列原理:若平衡体系受到干扰,平衡位置会向减弱该改变的方向移动。

Changes: Increase concentration of a reactant shifts equilibrium to the right (product side). Increase pressure shifts to side with fewer gas molecules. Increase temperature favours the endothermic direction. Catalysts have no effect on equilibrium position; they only speed up reaching equilibrium.

变化影响:增加反应物浓度,平衡向右(产物方向)移动。增大压强向气体分子数减少的方向移动。升高温度有利于吸热方向。催化剂不影响平衡位置,仅加速到达平衡。

Equilibrium constant Kc = [products]^coeff / [reactants]^coeff, using concentrations at equilibrium. Kc is temperature dependent only. If Kc > 1, equilibrium lies to the right. For heterogeneous equilibria, omit solids and pure liquids from the expression.

平衡常数Kc=[产物]^系数/[反应物]^系数,均用平衡浓度。Kc仅受温度影响。Kc > 1表示平衡右移。多相平衡表达式略去固体和纯液体。

Calculating Kc: set up an ICE table (Initial, Change, Equilibrium), find equilibrium moles, convert to concentrations if volume is known, substitute into Kc expression.

Kc计算:建立ICE表格(初始量、变化量、平衡量),求得平衡物质的量,已知体积时换算浓度,代入Kc表达式。


7. Redox Reactions and Oxidation States | 氧化还原反应与氧化态

Oxidation is loss of electrons; reduction is gain of electrons (OIL RIG). An oxidising agent gains electrons and is reduced; a reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidised.

氧化是失去电子,还原是得到电子(OIL RIG)。氧化剂得电子被还原,还原剂失电子被氧化。

Oxidation states (oxidation numbers) help track electron transfer. Rules: elements in free state = 0; simple ion = charge; oxygen usually –2 (except peroxides –1, OF₂ +2); hydrogen usually +1 (except metal hydrides –1); sum of oxidation states = overall charge.

氧化态(氧化数)用于跟踪电子转移。规则:单质为0;简单离子等于电荷数;氧通常–2(过氧化物–1,OF₂中+2);氢通常+1(金属氢化物–1);氧化态代数和等于总电荷。

Redox reactions often feature electron-transfer half-equations. Combine them by balancing electrons. Example: MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5Fe²⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O + 5Fe³⁺. Disproportionation: a single species is simultaneously oxidised and reduced, e.g. Cu⁺ → Cu²⁺ + Cu.

氧化还原反应常写出电子转移半方程式,通过电子数目配平合并。例:MnO₄⁻+8H⁺+5Fe²⁺→Mn²⁺+4H₂O+5Fe³⁺。歧化反应:同一物种同时发生氧化和还原,如Cu⁺→Cu²⁺+Cu。


8. Trends in the Periodic Table | 周期表趋势

Atomic radius decreases across a period (increased nuclear charge attracts electrons more strongly) and increases down a group (added electron shells). Ionisation energy generally increases across a period and decreases down a group. Watch for small drops: Be → B (p‑orbital starts), N → O (electron‑pair repulsion).

原子半径在同周期从左到右减小(核电荷增大吸引电子更强),同族从上到下增大(增加电子层)。电离能一般同周期增大、同族减小。注意两处下降:Be→B(p轨道开始),N→O(电子成对排斥)。

Group 2 (alkaline earth metals): reactivity increases down the group. They form basic oxides, react with water (Mg slowly, Ca steadily, Sr/Ba rapidly), and have characteristic flame colours (Ca brick‑red, Sr crimson, Ba green). Hydroxide solubility increases down the group.

第2族(碱土金属):反应性随族向下增强。形成碱性氧化物,与水反应(Mg缓慢,Ca稳定,Sr/Ba快速),有特征焰色(Ca砖红,Sr深红,Ba绿)。氢氧化物溶解度自上而下增大。

Group 17 (halogens): electronegativity decreases down the group. Displacement reactions: a more reactive halogen oxidises a less reactive halide ion, e.g. Cl₂ + 2Br⁻ →
