1. Atomic Structure & Periodicity | 原子结构与周期性

The atom consists of a nucleus containing protons (relative mass 1, charge +1) and neutrons (mass 1, charge 0), surrounded by electrons (mass 1/1840, charge –1) in orbitals. Atomic number Z = number of protons; mass number A = protons + neutrons. Isotopes have the same Z but different A. Electron configuration follows the Aufbau principle, with s, p, d notation. Periodicity refers to repeating trends across a period: atomic radius decreases, ionisation energy generally increases, and electronegativity rises from left to right.

原子由含质子（相对质量1，电荷+1）和中子（质量1，电荷0）的原子核，以及轨道中的电子（质量1/1840，电荷–1）构成。原子序数Z = 质子数；质量数A = 质子数+中子数。同位素质子数相同而中子数不同。电子排布遵循构造原理，用s、p、d符号表示。周期性指周期内重复变化的趋势：原子半径递减，电离能总体递增，电负性从左到右升高。

Ionisation energy: X(g) → X⁺(g) + e⁻ ; first ionisation energy increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge and similar shielding. | 电离能： X(g) → X⁺(g) + e⁻；第一电离能随周期递增因核电荷增加而屏蔽效应相近。
Period 3 oxides: Na₂O basic, MgO basic, Al₂O₃ amphoteric, SiO₂ acidic, P₄O₁₀ acidic, SO₂/SO₃ acidic. | 第三周期氧化物： Na₂O 碱性，MgO 碱性，Al₂O₃ 两性，SiO₂ 酸性，P₄O₁₀ 酸性，SO₂/SO₃ 酸性。

c = νλ E = hν (c = 3.00×10⁸ m s⁻¹, h = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ J s)

波长与频率关系：c = νλ，光子能量 E = hν

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

Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals via electron transfer, forming giant ionic lattices with high melting points and conductivity when molten or dissolved. Covalent bonding involves sharing electron pairs; molecules can be simple (H₂O, CO₂) or giant covalent (diamond, graphite, SiO₂). Metallic bonding is a lattice of cations in a sea of delocalised electrons, explaining malleability and electrical conductivity. VSEPR theory predicts shapes: linear (2 bond pairs), trigonal planar (3), tetrahedral (4), pyramidal (3 bonds + 1 lone pair), bent (2 bonds + 2 lone pairs).

离子键通过电子转移在金属与非金属间形成，构成巨型离子品格，熔点高，熔融或溶于水时导电。共价键涉及共用电子对；分子可以是简单分子（H₂O, CO₂）或巨型共价结构（金刚石、石墨、SiO₂）。金属键是阳离子排列在离域电子“海洋”中，解释了延展性和导电性。VSEPR理论预测分子形状：直线形（2键对），平面三角形（3），四面体形（4），三角锥形（3键+1孤对），弯曲形（2键+2孤对）。

Electronegativity difference & polarity: non-polar covalent (<0.4), polar covalent (0.4–1.7), ionic (>1.7). | 电负性差与极性： 非极性共价(<0.4)，极性共价(0.4–1.7)，离子(>1.7)。
Intermolecular forces: London dispersion (all molecules), permanent dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding (H–F, H–O, H–N). | 分子间力： 伦敦色散力（所有分子），永久偶极-偶极作用，氢键（与F、O、N相连的H）。

3. Stoichiometry & The Mole | 化学计量学与摩尔

The mole is the amount of substance containing 6.02×10²³ particles. n = m / M (mass/molar mass). For gases at STP (0 °C, 100 kPa), molar volume ≈ 22.7 dm³ mol⁻¹. Concentration c = n / V (mol dm⁻³). Empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio; molecular formula is derived from molar mass. Reacting masses and limiting reagents require balancing equations and using mole ratios.

摩尔是包含6.02×10²³个微粒的物质的量。n = m / M（质量/摩尔质量）。标准状况下气体摩尔体积 ≈ 22.7 dm³ mol⁻¹。浓度 c = n / V (mol dm⁻³)。实验式是最简整数比；分子式由摩尔质量推导。计算反应质量和限量试剂需要配平方程式并运用摩尔比。

Formula	Usage	中文
n = m / M	moles from mass	质量求摩尔
n = V / 22.7	gas volume at STP	标况下气体体积
n = c × V	solutions	溶液
Yield % = (actual/theoretical)×100	percentage yield	产率百分比

4. Energetics & Thermochemistry | 能量学与热化学

Enthalpy change ΔH is the heat transferred at constant pressure. Standard enthalpy of formation ΔH_f° and combustion ΔH_c° are commonly tested. Hess’s Law states that the total enthalpy change is independent of the route. Bond enthalpies can approximate ΔH: ΔH ≈ Σ(bonds broken) – Σ(bonds formed). Born-Haber cycles link lattice enthalpy to formation enthalpy for ionic compounds.

焓变ΔH是恒压下的热传递量。标准生成焓ΔH_f°和燃烧焓ΔH_c°常考。赫斯定律指出总焓变与路径无关。键能可以估算ΔH：ΔH ≈ Σ(断裂键能) – Σ(形成键能)。波恩-哈伯循环将品格焓与离子化合物的生成焓联系起来。

q = mcΔT ΔH = –q / n

热量计算与焓变公式

Exothermic reactions (ΔH < 0) release heat; endothermic (ΔH > 0) absorb heat. In Born-Haber cycles, lattice enthalpy is always exothermic; electron affinity can be exothermic or endothermic.

放热反应ΔH < 0释放热量；吸热反应ΔH > 0吸收热量。在波恩-哈伯循环中，品格焓总是放热的；电子亲和能可放热或吸热。

5. Kinetics | 动力学

Reaction rate is the change in concentration per unit time. Factors: concentration, temperature, surface area, catalyst. Collision theory requires proper orientation and energy ≥ activation energy Eₐ. Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution shows that raising temperature increases the proportion of particles with E ≥ Eₐ. Catalysts provide an alternative pathway with lower Eₐ, unchanged by the reaction.

反应速率是单位时间内浓度的变化。影响因素：浓度、温度、表面积、催化剂。碰撞理论要求取向正确且能量≥活化能Eₐ。麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布显示升温使E≥Eₐ的粒子比例增大。催化剂提供较低Eₐ的替代路径，自身不被消耗。

Rate equations (IB): Rate = k [A]ᵐ [B]ⁿ, where orders m and n are determined experimentally. | 速率方程： 速率 = k [A]ᵐ [B]ⁿ，反应级数m、n由实验确定。
CCEA emphasis: Effect of temperature on rate constant k (Arrhenius equation) and use of colorimetry/quenching to follow reactions. | CCEA重点： 温度对速率常数k的影响（阿伦尼乌斯方程）以及用比色法或猝灭法追踪反应。

6. Equilibrium | 平衡

Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal, with no net change in concentrations. Le Chatelier’s principle: a system at equilibrium shifts to counteract imposed changes (concentration, pressure, temperature). For exothermic reactions, raising temperature shifts equilibrium to the left (endothermic direction); increasing pressure favours side with fewer gas moles. Catalysts do not affect the position.

动态平衡时正逆反应速率相等，各物质浓度不再净变。勒夏特列原理：平衡体系会朝着减弱外界改变（浓度、压强、温度）的方向移动。放热反应升温使平衡左移（吸热方向）；加压则向气体摩尔数减少的方向移动。催化剂不影响平衡位置。

K_c = [products] / [reactants] with exponents equal to stoichiometric coefficients.

平衡常数 K_c 表达式

K_c changes only with temperature. A large K_c (>10³) favours products; small K_c (<10⁻³) favours reactants. The reaction quotient Q predicts direction: Q < K_c shifts right, Q > K_c shifts left.

K_c只随温度变化。K_c大（>10³）利于产物；小（<10⁻³）利于反应物。反应商Q可预测方向：Q < K_c 右移，Q > K_c 左移。

7. Acids and Bases | 酸碱

Brønsted-Lowry theory: acid is a proton donor, base is a proton acceptor. Conjugate acid-base pairs: HA + H₂O ⇌ A⁻ + H₃O⁺. Strong acids (HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃) fully dissociate; weak acids (CH₃COOH) partially dissociate, described by K_a. pH = –log₁₀[H⁺]; for a strong acid, [H⁺] = acid concentration. pOH = –log₁₀[OH⁻]; pH + pOH = 14 at 25 °C. Buffers resist pH change using a weak acid and its conjugate base.

布朗斯特-劳里理论：酸是质子给予体，碱是质子接受体。共轭酸碱对：HA + H₂O ⇌ A⁻ + H₃O⁺。强酸（HCl、H₂SO₄、HNO₃）完全解离；弱酸（CH₃COOH）部分解离，用K_a描述。pH = –log₁₀[H⁺]；对于强酸，[H⁺] = 酸浓度。pOH = –log₁₀[OH⁻]；25°C时pH + pOH = 14。缓冲溶液通过弱酸及其共轭碱抵抗pH变化。

Titration curves: Strong acid-strong base: equivalence at pH 7; weak acid-strong base: equivalence pH > 7; buffer region at half-equivalence pH = pK_a. | 滴定曲线： 强酸强碱滴定等当点pH=7；弱酸强碱滴定等当点pH>7；半等当点处pH=pK_a，具有缓冲能力。
Indicators: pK_in ±1 colour change range; choose one whose range lies entirely within the rapid pH change of the titration. | 指示剂： 变色范围pK_in ±1；需选择其变色范围完全落在滴定突跃范围内的指示剂。

8. Redox Processes | 氧化还原过程

Oxidation is loss of electrons, reduction is gain (OIL RIG). Oxidation numbers (states) are assigned by rules. Balancing redox equations: use half-reactions combining oxidation and reduction. In IB, often in acidic medium adding H⁺ and H₂O. In CCEA, balancing by oxidation numbers or ion-electron method. Electrochemical cells: E°_cell = E°_cathode – E°_anode (reduction potentials). A positive E°_cell indicates a spontaneous reaction.

氧化是失电子，还原是得电子（OIL RIG）。氧化数按规则指定。配平氧还方程：使用半反应法，氧化半反应和还原半反应结合。IB常在酸性介质中加H⁺和H₂O。CCEA也使用氧化数法或离子-电子法。电化学电池：E°_池 = E°_阴 – E°_阳（还原电位）。E°_池为正值表示反应自发。

Standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) has E° = 0.00 V. More positive E° means stronger oxidising agent. Electrolytic cells require external power to drive non-spontaneous reactions; in molten salts, cations reduce at cathode, anions oxidise at anode.

标准氢电极(SHE) E° = 0.00 V。E°越正，氧化剂越强。电解池需要外接电源驱动非自发反应；熔融盐电解中阳离子在阴极还原，阴离子在阳极氧化。

9. Organic Chemistry Fundamentals | 有机化学基础

Homologous series have same functional group, general formula, and gradual physical properties. Alkanes (CₙH₂ₙ₊₂) undergo free-radical substitution with Cl₂/UV. Alkenes (CₙH₂ₙ) undergo electrophilic addition: with HBr, Br₂, H₂O (acid-catalysed hydration), and H₂ (catalytic hydrogenation). Markovnikov’s rule: H adds to the carbon with more H atoms already. Alcohols (R–OH) can be oxidised: primary → aldehyde → carboxylic acid; secondary → ketone; tertiary resist oxidation.

同系物具有相同官能团、通式和递变的物理性质。烷烃（CₙH₂ₙ₊₂）与Cl₂在紫外光下发生自由基取代。烯烃（CₙH₂ₙ）发生亲电加成：与HBr、Br₂、H₂O（酸催化水合）和H₂（催化加氢）。马尔科夫尼科夫规则：H加在原本含氢较多的双键碳上。醇（R–OH）可被氧化：伯醇→醛→羧酸；仲醇→酮；叔醇难氧化。

Halogenoalkanes: nucleophilic substitution (S_N1/S_N2) with OH⁻, CN⁻, NH₃. | 卤代烷烃： 亲核取代反应，与OH⁻、CN⁻、NH₃等试剂。
Reaction mechanisms: curvy arrows show electron movement; heterolytic fission forms ions; homolytic fission forms radicals. | 反应机理： 弯箭头表示电子移动；异裂产生离子；均裂产生自由基。

10. Analytical Chemistry & Techniques | 分析化学与技术

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy identifies functional groups by absorption of characteristic wavenumbers: O–H (3200–3600 broad), C=O (1680–1750 sharp), C–O (1000–1300). Mass spectrometry (MS) fragments molecules; molecular ion peak M⁺ gives molar mass. NMR in IB: ¹H NMR chemical shifts and splitting patterns. CCEA often focuses on IR, MS, and TLC/GC, with fewer details on NMR.

红外光谱通过特征波数的吸收识别官能团：O–H（3200–3600宽峰），C=O（1680–1750尖峰），C–O（1000–1300）。质谱使分子碎片化；分子离子峰M⁺给出摩尔质量。IB涉及¹H核磁共振化学位移和裂分。CCEA通常重视IR、MS和薄层色谱/气相色谱，对NMR要求较浅。

Technique	Information	中文
IR	functional groups	官能团
MS	Mᐩ & fragment patterns	分子离子及碎片
¹H NMR	proton environment & number of neighbours	氢化学环境及相邻氢数

11. Energetics of Ionic Solids & Born-Haber | 离子固体能量学与波恩-哈伯循环

A Born-Haber cycle is an energy cycle for ionic compound formation linking enthalpy of formation, atomisation, ionisation energy, electron affinity, and lattice enthalpy. Lattice enthalpy (ΔH_LE) is the enthalpy change when 1 mol of ionic solid is formed from gaseous ions: Na⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) → NaCl(s). More exothermic lattice enthalpy indicates stronger ionic bonding, affected by charge and ionic radius.

波恩-哈伯循环是用于离子化合物形成的能量循环，联系生成焓、原子化焓、电离能、电子亲和能和品格焓。品格焓(ΔH_LE)是1 mol离子固体从气态离子生成时的焓变：Na⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) → NaCl(s)。品格焓越负，离子键越强，受离子电荷和半径影响。

Use Hess’s Law to solve for unknown enthalpy: ΔH_f° = ΔH_at(metal) + IE + ΔH_at(non-metal) + EA + ΔH_LE. For NaCl, all values can be plugged in except one unknown.

利用赫斯定律求解未知焓变：ΔH_f° = ΔH_at(金属) + IE + ΔH_at(非金属) + EA + ΔH_LE。代入数据解出未知项。

12. Exam Technique & Common Pitfalls | 应试技巧与常见误区

Read the question carefully: in IB Paper 2, marks are allocated for significant figures, units, and state symbols. In CCEA, definitions must be precise (‘standard conditions’, ‘enthalpy of formation’). Always balance equations and check charge. For organic mechanisms, show the relevant lone pair and use curly arrows starting from the electron source. In energetics, do not forget to divide q by n to get ΔH. For equilibrium, remember that K_c expressions omit solids and liquids.

仔细审题：IB试卷2中，有效数字、单位和状态符号都占分。CCEA考试要求定义严谨（如’标准条件’、’生成焓’）。务必配平方程式并检查电荷。有机机理要画出相关孤对电子，弯箭头从电子来源出发。能量计算中别忘记将q除以n得到ΔH。平衡部分注意K_c表达式中不出现固体和纯液体。

Use the last few minutes to verify calculations and ensure your answer matches the question asked. With these core notes, you are well equipped to face both IB and CCEA Chemistry exams confidently.

利用最后几分钟验证计算，确保答案切题。掌握这些核心笔记，你就能自信应对IB和CCEA化学考试。
