1. Essential Mole Calculations | 必备摩尔计算
Mastery of the mole concept underpins all quantitative chemistry. The number of moles n is related to mass m and molar mass M by n = m / M. Avogadro’s constant (6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹) links moles to the number of particles.
掌握摩尔概念是所有定量化学的基础。物质的量 n 与质量 m、摩尔质量 M 的关系为 n = m / M。阿伏伽德罗常数 (6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹) 将摩尔数与粒子数联系起来。
For gases at room temperature and pressure, the molar volume Vₘ is approximately 24 dm³ mol⁻¹. Use n = V / Vₘ only when conditions state ‘rtp’. For ideal gases, remember pV = nRT, with R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹; convert pressure to Pa and volume to m³.
在常温常压下，气体摩尔体积 Vₘ 约为 24 dm³ mol⁻¹。仅当题目明确给出 ‘rtp’ 时才可用 n = V / Vₘ。对于理想气体，牢记 pV = nRT，其中 R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹；压强需换算为 Pa，体积需换算为 m³。
In titrations, use the equation n = c × V ( volume in dm³). Convert cm³ to dm³ by dividing by 1000. Always check mole ratios from the balanced equation before calculating purity, water of crystallisation or percentage yield.
滴定分析中使用 n = c × V（V 单位 dm³）。将 cm³ 除以 1000 转为 dm³。计算纯度、结晶水或产率时，务必先根据配平方程式核对计量比。
2. Bonding, Structure and Intermolecular Forces | 化学键、结构与分子间力
Ionic bonding forms between a metal and a non-metal via electron transfer. Giant ionic lattices have high melting points and conduct electricity when molten or dissolved. Covalent bonding involves electron pair sharing; simple molecular substances like I₂ have low melting points due to weak intermolecular forces.
离子键是金属与非金属间通过电子转移形成的。巨型离子晶体熔沸点高，熔融或溶于水时能导电。共价键涉及电子对共用；像 I₂ 等简单分子物质因分子间作用力弱而具有低熔点。
Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between delocalised electrons and positive metal ions. It explains malleability, high melting points and electrical conductivity. Diamond and graphite are giant covalent structures: diamond is hard and insulating; graphite conducts electricity due to delocalised electrons between layers.
金属键是离域电子与正金属离子之间的静电吸引，解释了金属的延展性、高熔点和导电性。金刚石和石墨是巨型共价结构：金刚石坚硬且不导电；石墨因层间离域电子而导电。
Intermolecular forces must be identified in order of strength: hydrogen bonding (H attached to N, O or F), permanent dipole–dipole interactions, and London (dispersion) forces. Hydrogen bonding causes ice to float and water’s relatively high boiling point.
需按强度顺序识别分子间作用力：氢键（H 与 N、O、F 相连）、永久偶极–偶极作用与伦敦（色散）力。氢键导致冰浮于水面和水相对较高的沸点。
3. Energetics: Born-Haber and Entropy | 能量学：玻恩-哈伯循环与熵
Enthalpy change ΔH is measured under standard conditions (298 K, 100 kPa). Hess’s Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken. Construct cycles to find unknown ΔH values.
焓变 ΔH 在标准条件（298 K，100 kPa）下测量。赫斯定律指出反应的总焓变与途径无关。可通过构建循环来求出未知的 ΔH 值。
Born-Haber cycles link lattice enthalpy to formation enthalpy using ionisation energies, electron affinities and atomisation enthalpies. Lattice enthalpy becomes more exothermic as ionic charge increases and ionic radius decreases.
玻恩-哈伯循环通过电离能、电子亲和能和原子化焓，将晶格焓与生成焓联系起来。离子电荷越高、离子半径越小，晶格焓越放热。
Entropy S measures the dispersal of energy. Total entropy change ΔS₍total₎ = ΔS₍system₎ + ΔS₍surroundings₎. A reaction is feasible when ΔS₍total₎ > 0. Relate free energy: ΔG = ΔH – TΔS; reaction feasible when ΔG < 0. Remember to convert ΔS to kJ K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for consistency.
熵 S 衡量能量的分散程度。总熵变 ΔS(总) = ΔS(体系) + ΔS(环境)，当 ΔS(总) > 0 时反应可进行。吉布斯自由能关系式：ΔG = ΔH – TΔS；ΔG < 0 则反应可行。注意统一单位，将 ΔS 转换为 kJ K⁻¹ mol⁻¹。
4. Kinetics: Rate Equations and Mechanisms | 动力学：速率方程与机理
The rate equation for a reaction aA + bB → products is Rate = k[A]ˣ[B]ʸ, where x and y are orders with respect to A and B. Orders can be 0, 1, 2 and are determined experimentally, not from stoichiometry.
反应 aA + bB → 产物的速率方程为 Rate = k[A]ˣ[B]ʸ，x 和 y 分别为 A 和 B 的反应级数。级数可为 0、1、2，必须通过实验确定，而非由计量系数决定。
Use the initial rates method: compare experiments where one concentration changes while others stay constant to deduce order. Half-life (t₁/₂) is constant for a first-order reaction only. Rate-concentration graphs can be used to verify orders: a horizontal line indicates zero order, a straight line through origin indicates first order.
采用初始速率法：比较仅改变一种反应物浓度的实验，即可推断级数。只有一级反应的半衰期 t₁/₂ 保持不变。速率–浓度图可验证级数：水平线为零级，过原点的直线为一级。
The rate-determining step is the slowest step in a mechanism. Species in the rate equation appear in the rate-determining step; catalysts or intermediates do not appear in the overall rate equation but may feature in mechanism steps.
速率决定步骤是机理中最慢的一步。速率方程中出现的物种一定参与速率决定步骤；催化剂或中间体虽不出现在总速率方程中，但可能出现在机理步骤里。
5. Chemical Equilibria: Kc, Kp and Le Chatelier | 化学平衡：Kc、Kp与勒夏特列原理
For a homogeneous reaction, the equilibrium constant Kc = [products] / [reactants] with each concentration raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. Units of Kc depend on the sum of powers. Kc is only affected by temperature.
对于均相反应，平衡常数 Kc = [产物] / [反应物]，各浓度以其计量系数为指数。Kc 的单位取决于幂的总和，且 Kc 只受温度影响。
For gaseous equilibria, Kp uses partial pressures. Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure. Kp = (p of products raised to powers) / (p of reactants raised to powers). Write an ICE table to link initial, change and equilibrium amounts.
气体平衡使用分压表示 Kp，分压 = 摩尔分数 × 总压。Kp = (产物分压的幂乘积) / (反应物分压的幂乘积)。用 ICE 表格联系起始量、变化量和平衡量。
Le Chatelier’s principle predicts the shift in equilibrium when temperature, pressure or concentration changes. For exothermic reactions, increase in temperature decreases Kc/Kp. For endothermic reactions, increase in temperature increases Kc/Kp. Pressure changes only affect gaseous equilibria with different numbers of gas molecules on each side.
勒夏特列原理预测温度、压强或浓度变化时平衡移动的方向。放热反应升温会减小 Kc/Kp；吸热反应升温会增大 Kc/Kp。压强变化仅影响两端气体分子数不等的气相平衡。
6. Acid-Base Equilibria and Buffer Solutions | 酸碱平衡与缓冲溶液
According to Brønsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a proton donor and a base a proton acceptor. Strong acids and bases fully dissociate; weak acids have Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]. pKa = –log₁₀Ka. The larger the Ka, the stronger the weak acid.
根据布朗斯特-劳里理论，酸是质子给体，碱是质子受体。强酸强碱完全电离；弱酸的离解常数 Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]，pKa = –log₁₀Ka。Ka 越大，弱酸越强。
pH = –log₁₀[H⁺] and [H⁺] = 10⁻ᵖᴴ. For a weak acid, use the approximation [H⁺] = √(Ka × [HA]). For buffers, apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻] / [HA]). A buffer resists pH change when small amounts of acid or base are added.
pH = –log₁₀[H⁺]，[H⁺] = 10⁻ᵖᴴ。对于弱酸，可用近似式 [H⁺] = √(Ka × [HA])。缓冲溶液的亨德森-哈塞尔巴尔赫方程：pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻] / [HA])。缓冲液在加入少量酸或碱时能抵抗 pH 变化。
Buffer capacity is highest when the ratio [A⁻] : [HA] is close to 1. Buffer solutions are made by mixing a weak acid with its conjugate base, or by partially neutralising a weak acid with strong base.
缓冲能力在 [A⁻] : [HA] 接近 1 时最强。可通过弱酸与其共轭碱混合，或用强碱部分中和弱酸来制备缓冲溶液。
7. Redox Reactions and Electrochemical Cells | 氧化还原与电化学电池
Redox involves simultaneous oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons). Oxidation numbers help track electron transfer: increase in oxidation number = oxidation. Balance redox half-equations by balancing atoms, then charge with electrons.
氧化还原同时包含氧化（失去电子）和还原（得到电子）。氧化数用于追踪电子转移：氧化数升高为氧化。配平氧化还原半反应时先配平原子，再用电荷配平电子数。
In electrochemical cells, the more negative electrode potential E° indicates stronger reducing agent. Standard cell emf E°₍cell₎ = E°₍cathode₎ – E°₍anode₎. A positive E°₍cell₎ means the reaction is thermodynamically feasible. Standard hydrogen electrode is the reference (0 V).
电化学电池中，电极电势 E° 越负表示还原性越强。标准电池电动势 E°(电池) = E°(正极) – E°(负极)，E°(电池) 为正说明反应热力学可行。标准氢电极是参比电极（0 V）。
In electrolysis, an external power source forces non-spontaneous reactions. Cations migrate to the cathode and are reduced; anions migrate to the anode and are oxidized. Use Faraday’s law: Q = It, and n = Q / (96485 C mol⁻¹) to calculate amount of product.
电解时外接电源迫使非自发反应发生。阳离子移向阴极被还原，阴离子移向阳极被氧化。用法拉第定律 Q = It 及 n = Q / (96485 C mol⁻¹) 计算产物的物质的量。
8. Periodicity and Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry | 周期律与无机化学性质
Across Period 3, atomic radius decreases and first ionisation energy generally increases. Oxides change from basic (Na₂O, MgO) to amphoteric (Al₂O₃) to acidic (SiO₂, P₄O₁₀, SO₂, SO₃). Metallic character decreases left to right.
沿第三周期，原子半径递减，第一电离能大体递增。氧化物从碱性 (Na₂O, MgO) 变为两性 (Al₂O₃) 再变为酸性 (SiO₂、P₄O₁₀、SO₂、SO₃)。金属性从左到右减弱。
Group II elements form M²⁺ ions; solubility of sulfates decreases down the group (BaSO₄ insoluble). Group VII halogens decrease in reactivity down the group. Halide ions are stronger reducing agents down the group. Displacement reactions of halogens with halide solutions confirm trend.
第 II 族元素形成 M²⁺ 离子；硫酸盐溶解度随族递减 (BaSO₄ 难溶)。第 VII 族卤素反应性随原子序数增加而减弱，卤离子还原性则增强。卤素与卤化物溶液间的置换反应可验证此趋势。
9. Transition Metals and Complex Ions | 过渡金属与配合物
Transition metals have partially filled d orbitals. They exhibit variable oxidation states, catalytic activity, coloured compounds, and form complexes. Ligands are electron pair donors that form coordinate bonds with the metal centre. Common ligands: H₂O:, :NH₃, :Cl⁻.
过渡金属具有部分填充的 d 轨道，表现出可变化合价、催化活性、有色化合物并能形成配合物。配体是电子对给体，与金属中心形成配位键。常见配体：H₂O:、:NH₃、:Cl⁻。
The colour of transition metal complexes arises from d-d electron transitions. Energy of the gap ΔE corresponds to visible light; substituting ligands changes the splitting energy and hence colour. Cu²⁺(aq) is blue; adding excess NH₃ gives deep blue [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺.
过渡金属配合物的颜色源于 d-d 电子跃迁，能隙 ΔE 对应于可见光；更换配体会改变分裂能从而改变颜色。Cu²⁺(aq) 呈蓝色，加入过量 NH₃ 得到深蓝色的 [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺。
Catalysis: heterogeneous catalysts (e.g. Fe in Haber process) provide surface for reaction; homogeneous catalysts involve intermediate species. MnO₄⁻ / C₂O₄²⁻ titration is autocatalysed by Mn²⁺.
催化作用：多相催化剂（如哈伯法中的铁）提供反应表面；均相催化涉及中间体物种。MnO₄⁻ 与 C₂O₄²⁻ 的滴定反应被 Mn²⁺ 自催化。
10. Organic Reaction Pathways (Aliphatic) | 有机反应路径（脂肪族）
Alkanes undergo free radical substitution with Cl₂ or Br₂ in UV light. Initiation, propagation and termination steps must be shown with curly arrows for radicals. Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition; major product predicted by carbocation stability (Markovnikov’s rule).
烷烃在紫外光下与 Cl₂ 或 Br₂ 发生自由基取代反应，须用弯箭头表示引发、增长和终止步骤。烯烃进行亲电加成，主要产物取决于碳正离子稳定性（马尔科夫尼科夫规则）。
Halogenoalkanes react by nucleophilic substitution: Sₙ1 or Sₙ2 depending on structure. Primary halogenoalkanes favour Sₙ2; tertiary favour Sₙ1. Hydrolysis, cyanation and amine formation are typical. Alcohols can be oxidized: primary → aldehyde → carboxylic acid; secondary → ketone; tertiary do not oxidise under common conditions.
卤代烷进行亲核取代：反应路径取决于结构，伯卤代烷倾向 Sₙ2，叔卤代烷倾向 Sₙ1。水解、氰化和胺化是典型反应。醇的氧化：伯醇→醛→羧酸；仲醇→酮；叔醇在通常条件下不被氧化。
Interconversion summary:
| Reaction | Reagent/Conditions | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Alkane → haloalkane | Cl₂ / UV | Free radical substitution |
| Alkene → alkane | H₂, Ni catalyst | Addition / reduction |
| Alkene → haloalkane | HX (room temp.) | Electrophilic addition |
| Haloalkane → alcohol | NaOH(aq) warm | Nucleophilic substitution |
| Alcohol → alkene | Conc. H₂SO₄ / Al₂O₃, heat | Elimination |
常见有机转化条件速查：烷烃 → 卤代烷 (Cl₂/UV 自由基取代)；烯烃 → 烷烃 (H₂/Ni 加成/还原)；烯烃 → 卤代烷 (HX 亲电加成)；卤代烷 → 醇 (NaOH(aq) 加热 亲核取代)；醇 → 烯烃 (浓 H₂SO₄ 或 Al₂O₃ 加热 消除)。
11. Aromatic Chemistry and Nitrogen Compounds | 芳香化学与含氮化合物
Benzene is stabilised by delocalised π electrons. It undergoes electrophilic substitution rather than addition: nitration (HNO₃/H₂SO₄), halogenation (X₂/AlX₃), Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation. The delocalised ring is preserved.
苯由于离域 π 电子而格外稳定，它进行亲电取代而非加成：如硝化 (HNO₃/H₂SO₄)、卤化 (X₂/AlX₃)、傅克烷基化和酰基化。反应中离域环保持不变。
Amines can be prepared by nucleophilic substitution of halogenoalkanes with NH₃, or by reduction of nitriles. Phenylamine is made by reduction of nitrobenzene with Sn/conc. HCl. Amines are Brønsted-Lowry bases due to the lone pair on nitrogen.
胺可通过卤代烷与 NH₃ 的亲核取代制备，也可由腈还原制得。苯胺由硝基苯经 Sn/浓 HCl 还原得到。由于氮上的孤对电子，胺是布朗斯特-劳里碱。
Amides are formed from acyl chlorides and amines. Condensation polymers include polyamides (nylon) and polyesters (Terylene). Amino acids exist as zwitterions and form proteins via peptide bonds. TLC or electrophoresis can separate amino acids.
酰胺由酰氯与胺反应制得。缩聚物包括聚酰胺（尼龙）和聚酯（涤纶）。氨基酸以内盐形式存在，通过肽键形成蛋白质，可用薄层色谱或电泳分离。
12. Analytical Techniques: NMR, IR & Mass Spec | 分析技术：核磁共振、红外与质谱
Mass spectrometry determines relative molecular mass by detecting the molecular ion peak (M⁺). Fragmentation patterns help deduce structure. High-resolution mass spectrometry gives exact masses for distinguishing between molecules of same nominal mass.
质谱通过检测分子离子峰 (M⁺) 确定相对分子质量，碎片模式可辅助推断结构。高分辨质谱提供精确质量，可用于区分名义质量相同的分子。
Infrared spectroscopy identifies functional groups via characteristic absorptions. O–H (alcohols) broad peak 3200–3550 cm⁻¹; C=O 1680–1750 cm⁻¹; C–O 1000–1300 cm⁻¹. Carboxylic acids show very broad O–H peak near 2500–3300 cm⁻¹.
红外光谱通过特征吸收峰识别官能团：醇 O–H 宽峰 3200–3550 cm⁻¹；C=O 1680–1750 cm⁻¹；C–O 1000–1300 cm⁻¹。羧酸的 O–H 峰极宽，出现在 2500–3300 cm⁻¹ 附近。
¹³C NMR gives carbon environments; each peak corresponds to a chemically distinct carbon. ¹H NMR provides number of proton environments, integration (ratios), splitting patterns (n+1 rule) and chemical shifts. TMS is the internal standard. Use the data sheet to link shifts to functional groups.
¹³C 核磁给出碳环境信息，每个峰对应一种化学不等价碳。¹H NMR 提供质子环境数、积分比、裂分峰形（n+1 规律）及化学位移。TMS 为内标。需结合数据表将化学位移与官能团关联。
In chromatography, retention time or Rf value supports identification. Gas chromatography separated by volatility; HPLC uses high pressure for finer resolution. Techniques are combined with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for confident analysis.
色谱中保留时间或 Rf 值辅助鉴定。气相色谱根据挥发性分离；高效液相色谱在高压下获得更高分辨。常与质谱联用 (GC-MS) 以实现可靠分析。
