1. Atoms, Elements and the Periodic Table | 原子、元素与元素周期表
All matter is made of atoms. An atom consists of a dense nucleus containing positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons arranged in energy levels (shells). The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons, which defines the element. The mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
所有物质都由原子组成。原子中心是致密的原子核，包含带正电的质子和不带电的中子，核外是分层排布的带负电的电子。原子序数(Z)等于质子数，决定了元素的种类。质量数(A)是质子数与中子数之和。由于质子数等于电子数，原子整体呈电中性。
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They have identical chemical properties but slightly different physical properties such as density and mass. The relative atomic mass (Ar) of an element is the weighted average mass of its isotopes compared to 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, taking their abundance into account.
同位素是指质子数相同而中子数不同的同种元素的原子。它们的化学性质相同，但密度和质量等物理性质略有不同。元素的相对原子质量(Ar)即该元素各同位素按丰度加权平均后，与一个碳-12原子质量的1/12相比较所得的数值。
The periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number. Vertical columns are called groups; elements in the same group have the same number of outer electrons and therefore similar chemical properties. Horizontal rows are called periods; the period number tells you how many electron shells are occupied. Metals are found on the left and centre, non-metals on the right.
元素周期表按原子序数递增排列。纵列称为族，同族元素最外层电子数相同，因此化学性质相似。横排称为周期，周期数对应已占用的电子层数。金属位于表的左侧和中部，非金属位于右侧。
Key group trends:
- Group 1 (alkali metals): one outer electron, very reactive, reactivity increases down the group, react vigorously with water producing hydrogen and an alkaline solution.
- Group 7 (halogens): seven outer electrons, diatomic non-metals, reactivity decreases down the group, form halide ions by gaining one electron.
- Group 0 (noble gases): full outer shell, unreactive monatomic gases.
主要族的递变规律：
- 第1族（碱金属）：最外层1个电子，极为活泼，活泼性向下增强，遇水剧烈反应生成氢气和碱性溶液。
- 第7族（卤素）：最外层7个电子，双原子非金属，活泼性向下减弱，得一个电子形成卤离子。
- 第0族（稀有气体）：最外层满电子，单原子气体，化学性质极不活泼。
2. Chemical Bonding: Ionic, Covalent and Metallic | 化学键：离子键、共价键与金属键
Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal. Metals lose electrons to form positive cations, while non-metals gain electrons to form negative anions. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms a giant ionic lattice. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, do not conduct electricity when solid but do conduct when molten or dissolved in water, because the ions become free to move.
离子键通过金属向非金属转移电子形成。金属失电子形成阳离子，非金属得电子形成阴离子。正负离子间的静电引力构成庞大的离子晶格。离子化合物熔沸点高，固态时不导电，但熔融态或溶于水时因离子可自由移动而能够导电。
Covalent bonding occurs when two non-metal atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a full outer shell. This can form simple molecules such as water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), which have low melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity. It also forms giant covalent structures: diamond (each carbon atom bonded to four others, hard, does not conduct), graphite (each carbon bonded to three others in layers, soft and slippery, conducts electricity due to delocalised electrons) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂, similar to diamond).
共价键由非金属原子间共享电子对形成，以使最外层达到稳定结构。可形成简单分子，如水(H₂O)、二氧化碳(CO₂)和甲烷(CH₄)，它们熔沸点低且不导电。也能形成巨型共价结构：金刚石（每个碳原子与另外四个碳原子键合，坚硬，不导电）；石墨（每个碳原子与三个碳原子键合构成层状结构，柔软润滑，因层间有离域电子而导电）；二氧化硅(SiO₂)结构与金刚石类似。
Metallic bonding is the attraction between a lattice of positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electrons. This structure explains why metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, are malleable and ductile, and have high melting points.
金属键是金属阳离子与离域电子“海洋”之间的吸引力。这种结构解释了金属为何导热导电性能良好、具有延展性，且熔点较高。
3. Writing Chemical Formulae and Equations | 化学式和化学方程式的书写
The chemical formula of a compound tells you the symbols of the elements present and the ratio of atoms or ions. For ionic compounds, the overall charge must be zero; use the ‘swap and drop’ method with ion charges to write the formula, e.g. magnesium oxide: Mg²⁺ and O²⁻ → MgO, aluminium oxide: Al³⁺ and O²⁻ → Al₂O₃.
化学式表明化合物所含元素的符号及原子或离子的比例。对于离子化合物，总电荷必须为零；可依据离子电荷采用“十字交叉法”书写，如氧化镁：Mg²⁺与O²⁻ → MgO，氧化铝：Al³⁺与O²⁻ → Al₂O₃。
A balanced chemical equation shows the reactants and products with state symbols – (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) aqueous (dissolved in water). The number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides. Ionic equations show only the ions that actually change in a reaction; spectator ions are omitted.
配平的化学方程式要标明反应物和生成物，并附状态符号：(s)固态，(l)液态，(g)气态，(aq)水溶液。每种元素的原子数在反应前后必须相等。离子方程式只表示实际发生变化的离子，不参与反应的旁观离子可略去。
Example: Neutralisation of sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide. Full equation: H₂SO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l). Ionic equation: H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l).
示例：硫酸与氢氧化钠的中和反应。化学方程式：H₂SO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)。离子方程式：H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)。
4. Quantitative Chemistry: Relative Mass and the Mole | 定量化学：相对质量与摩尔
The relative formula mass (Mr) of a compound is the sum of the relative atomic masses (Ar) of all atoms in its formula. One mole of any substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro constant) and has a mass in grams equal to its Ar or Mr. The key equation linking mass, moles and relative mass is:
化合物的相对式量(Mr)是其化学式中所有原子的相对原子质量(Ar)的总和。1摩尔的任何物质均含有6.02×10²³个微粒（阿伏加德罗常数），其质量以克为单位时数值等于其Ar或Mr。联系质量、摩尔数与相对质量的关键公式为：
mass (g) = moles × Mr
质量(g) = 物质的量(mol) × 相对式量(Mr)
Concentration of a solution can be expressed in g/dm³ or mol/dm³. The relationships are: concentration (g/dm³) = mass (g) ÷ volume (dm³), and concentration (mol/dm³) = moles ÷ volume (dm³). Volumes of solutions are often measured in cm³; remember 1000 cm³ = 1 dm³.
溶液的浓度可用g/dm³或mol/dm³表示。关系式为：浓度(g/dm³) = 质量(g) ÷ 体积(dm³)，以及浓度(mol/dm³) = 物质的量(mol) ÷ 体积(dm³)。溶液体积常以cm³为单位，注意1000 cm³ = 1 dm³。
At room temperature and pressure (RTP, approximately 20°C and 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³. This molar gas volume allows you to convert between moles of gas and volume: moles = volume (dm³) ÷ 24.
在常温常压下(RTP, 约20°C, 1 atm)，1摩尔任何气体的体积为24 dm³。利用气体摩尔体积可将气体的物质的量与体积相互换算：物质的量(mol) = 体积(dm³) ÷ 24。
Reacting masses can be calculated using moles: write the balanced equation, calculate moles of the known substance, use the mole ratio to find moles of the unknown, then convert to mass. Limiting reactants determine how much product can form; the reactant not in excess is used up first.
反应质量可通过摩尔计算：写出配平的方程式，先求已知物质的物质的量，利用化学计量数之比求出未知物质的物质的量，再换算为质量。限量反应物决定了产物的最大产量，因为它会先被消耗完。
5. The Reactivity Series and Extraction of Metals | 金属活动性顺序与金属的提取
The reactivity series arranges metals in order of their tendency to form positive ions. A common list from most to least reactive: Potassium > Sodium > Lithium > Calcium > Magnesium > Aluminium > (Carbon) > Zinc > Iron > (Hydrogen) > Copper > Silver > Gold. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
金属活动性顺序按照形成阳离子的倾向排列。常用顺序（由强到弱）为：钾 > 钠 > 锂 > 钙 > 镁 > 铝 > (碳) > 锌 > 铁 > (氢) > 铜 > 银 > 金。活泼性强的金属可以将活泼性较弱的金属从其化合物中置换出来。
Oxidation is the loss of electrons; reduction is the gain of electrons (OIL RIG). In a displacement reaction, the more reactive metal is oxidised and the less reactive metal ion is reduced. Reactions with dilute acids provide evidence for the reactivity order: metals above hydrogen in the series react to produce hydrogen gas and a salt, while metals below hydrogen do not react.
氧化是指失去电子，还原是指得到电子（简记：失氧得还）。在置换反应中，较活泼金属被氧化，较不活泼金属的离子被还原。金属与稀酸的反应可用来验证活动性顺序：位于氢之前的金属能与酸反应生成氢气和盐，而氢之后的金属则不能。
Methods of metal extraction depend on the metal’s reactivity. Metals less reactive than carbon, such as zinc and iron, can be extracted by heating with carbon (or carbon monoxide), which acts as a reducing agent. Very reactive metals such as aluminium are extracted by electrolysis of their molten compounds. Unreactive metals like gold occur native and require no chemical extraction.
金属的提取方法取决于其活泼性。活泼性弱于碳的金属（如锌和铁）可通过与碳（或一氧化碳）共热还原制取。高活泼性金属（如铝）必须通过电解其熔融化合物获得。极不活泼的金属（如金）以单质形态存在，无需化学提取。
6. Acids, Bases and Salts | 酸、碱和盐
An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water. The strength of an acid depends on how completely it ionises: strong acids (e.g. HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃) fully ionise, while weak acids (e.g. ethanoic acid) only partially ionise. Concentration is a measure of how much acid is dissolved in a given volume of water.
酸是溶于水时释放出氢离子(H⁺)的物质。酸的强弱取决于其电离程度：强酸（如HCl、H₂SO₄、HNO₃）完全电离，弱酸（如乙酸）仅部分电离。浓度则衡量一定体积水中溶解了多少酸。
A base is a substance that can neutralise an acid; an alkali is a soluble base that releases hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water. The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution: pH less than 7 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral, pH greater than 7 is alkaline. Universal indicator and a pH probe can be used to determine pH.
碱能中和酸；可溶性碱称为碱，溶于水释放氢氧根离子(OH⁻)。pH标度衡量溶液的酸碱度：pH < 7为酸性，pH = 7为中性，pH > 7为碱性。可用通用指示剂或pH计测定pH值。
Neutralisation occurs when an acid and a base react to form a salt and water: acid + base → salt + water. The name of the salt comes from the acid used (hydrochloric acid gives chlorides, sulfuric acid gives sulfates, nitric acid gives nitrates) and the metal in the base. Salts can be prepared by several methods: adding excess metal, insoluble base or carbonate to an acid, then filtering, evaporating and crystallising; or by precipitation (mixing two solutions to form an insoluble salt).
中和反应是酸与碱生成盐和水的过程：酸 + 碱 → 盐 + 水。盐的名称由所用的酸（盐酸→氯化物，硫酸→硫酸盐，硝酸→硝酸盐）和碱中的金属决定。制备盐的方法有多种：向酸中加过量金属、不溶性碱或碳酸盐，过滤、蒸发、结晶；或采用沉淀法（将两种溶液混合生成不溶性盐）。
7. Electrolysis | 电解
Electrolysis is the decomposition of an ionic compound into its elements using a direct electric current. The molten ionic compound or aqueous solution is called the electrolyte. The positive electrode is the anode, the negative electrode is the cathode. Positive cations move towards the cathode and gain electrons (reduction); negative anions move towards the anode and lose electrons (oxidation).
电解是利用直流电将离子化合物分解为其组成元素的过程。熔融态或水溶液状态的离子化合物称为电解质。正电极称为阳极，负电极称为阴极。阳离子移向阴极得电子（还原反应）；阴离子移向阳极失电子（氧化反应）。
During the electrolysis of molten binary compounds, such as lead(II) bromide, the products are simply the elements: lead forms at the cathode and bromine at the anode. For aqueous solutions, however, water can also be discharged. The product at the cathode is usually hydrogen (from water) unless the metal is less reactive than hydrogen, in which case the metal is deposited. At the anode, the halide ion (if present) is discharged; if not, oxygen gas is released from the hydroxide ions in water.
电解熔融二元化合物（如溴化铅）时，产物即为该两种元素：铅在阴极生成，溴在阳极生成。而对水溶液进行电解时，水也可能放电。阴极上通常产生氢气（来自水），除非金属的活泼性弱于氢，此时金属会析出。阳极上若有卤离子则优先放电；若无，则水中氢氧根离子放电生成氧气。
Half equations show the electron transfer at each electrode. Example: electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. Cathode: Na⁺ + e⁻ → Na. Anode: 2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻. Example of aqueous copper(II) sulfate with inert electrodes: cathode – Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu; anode – 4OH⁻ → O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e⁻.
半反应方程式表示每个电极上的电子转移。示例：电解熔融氯化钠。阴极：Na⁺ + e⁻ → Na。阳极：2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻。使用惰性电极电解硫酸铜溶液：阴极 – Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu；阳极 – 4OH⁻ → O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e⁻。
Electrolysis has important industrial applications: extraction of aluminium from molten aluminium oxide (dissolved in cryolite to lower the melting point), electroplating and purification of copper.
电解在工业上有重要应用：从熔融氧化铝中提取铝（以冰晶石为熔剂降低熔点）、电镀以及精炼铜。
8. Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions | 化学反应中的能量变化
Chemical reactions involve energy changes. In an exothermic reaction, energy is transferred to the surroundings, usually as heat, and the temperature rises. Examples include combustion, neutralisation and respiration. In an endothermic reaction, energy is taken in from the surroundings, causing a temperature drop. Examples include thermal decomposition and photosynthesis. Reaction profiles show the energy of reactants and products, with the activation energy being the minimum energy needed to start the reaction.
化学反应伴随能量变化。放热反应中，能量通常以热的形式传递给周围环境，使温度升高。实例包括燃烧、中和反应和呼吸作用。吸热反应从环境中吸收能量，导致温度下降，如热分解和光合作用。反应剖面图展示反应物和产物的能量，其中活化能是引发反应所需的最低能量。
Exothermic: reactants → products + energy; ΔH negative.
放热：反应物 → 产物 + 能量；ΔH为负值。
Endothermic: energy + reactants → products; ΔH positive.
吸热：能量 + 反应物 → 产物；ΔH为正值。
Overall enthalpy change (ΔH) can be calculated using bond energies. Energy is absorbed to break bonds and released when bonds form. ΔH = sum of bond energies of bonds broken – sum of bond energies of bonds formed. If more energy is released than absorbed, the reaction is exothermic; if more is absorbed, it is endothermic.
总焓变(ΔH)可使用键能计算。断键吸热，成键放热。ΔH = 断裂键的键能总和 – 形成键的键能总和。若释放能量多于吸收能量，反应为放热；反之则为吸热。
9. Chemical Analysis: Testing for Ions and Gases | 化学分析：离子与气体的检验
Flame tests are used to identify some metal cations based on the characteristic colours they produce in a Bunsen flame. A clean nichrome wire loop is dipped in the sample, then held in the blue flame.
焰色反应可根据金属阳离子在本生灯火焰中产生的特征颜色进行鉴定。将洁净的镍铬丝环蘸取样品，置于蓝色火焰中观察。
| Cation | Flame colour / 焰色 |
|---|---|
| Li⁺ (lithium) | Red / 红 |
| Na⁺ (sodium) | Yellow / 黄 |
| K⁺ (potassium) | Lilac / 紫 |
| Ca²⁺ (calcium) | Brick red / 砖红 |
| Cu²⁺ (copper) | Green-blue / 绿蓝 |
