1. Particle Nature of Matter | 物质的微粒性质
All substances are made of tiny, moving particles. In solids, particles are closely packed in a regular pattern and vibrate about fixed positions; in liquids, particles are close together but can slide past one another; in gases, particles are far apart and move randomly at high speeds. Changes of state—melting, freezing, boiling and condensation—occur at specific temperatures and involve changes in particle arrangement and energy, not in the particles themselves. Diffusion provides evidence for particle motion and is fastest in gases because of the large spaces between particles. The rate of diffusion of a gas depends on its relative molecular mass: lighter gases diffuse more rapidly.
所有物质均由微小、不断运动的粒子构成。固体粒子紧密排列成规则结构，只在固定位置上振动；液体粒子间距较小但可以彼此滑移；气体粒子相距很远，高速随机运动。熔化、凝固、沸腾和凝结等状态变化发生在特定温度，是粒子排列和能量改变的结果，粒子本身并不改变。扩散现象证明了粒子的运动，且气体中的扩散最快，因为粒子间空隙最大。气体的扩散速率取决于其相对分子质量：较轻的气体扩散更快。
rate of diffusion 1 / √(relative molecular mass)
2. Atomic Structure | 原子结构
Atoms consist of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons orbiting in shells. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negative. The atomic number (Z) equals the number of protons and determines the element; the mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, e.g. ¹²₆C and ¹⁴₆C. Electrons occupy shells in the sequence 2,8,8,2, and the electronic configuration governs chemical reactivity: atoms with a full outer shell are stable, while others tend to lose, gain or share electrons to achieve a noble-gas configuration.
原子由包含质子和中子的原子核与核外分层排布的电子组成。质子带正电，中子不带电，电子带负电。原子序数（Z）等于质子数，决定元素种类；质量数（A）是质子数与中子数之和。同位素是指质子数相同而中子数不同的同种原子，如¹²₆C 与¹⁴₆C。电子按2、8、8、2顺序填充各层，电子排布决定了化学活泼性：最外层电子满层的原子很稳定，其他原子倾向于失去、得到或共用电子以达成稀有气体的电子结构。
3. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构
Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals when electrons are transferred, forming positive cations and negative anions. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions creates a giant ionic lattice, giving compounds high melting points and the ability to conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between non-metal atoms, forming either simple molecular substances (e.g. H₂O, CO₂) with low melting points and no electrical conductivity, or giant covalent structures (e.g. diamond, SiO₂) that are very hard and have high melting points. Metallic bonding is the attraction between positive metal ions and a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons; this explains malleability, ductility and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity of metals.
离子键由金属与非金属之间电子转移形成，产生阳离子与阴离子，正负离子间的静电引力构成离子晶格，因此离子化合物熔点高，且在熔融或水溶液中可以导电。共价键是非金属原子间通过共用电子对形成的键，可构成简单分子物质（如H₂O、CO₂），熔点低、不导电；也可形成巨型共价结构（如金刚石、SiO₂），硬度大、熔点很高。金属键是金属阳离子与离域电子“海洋”之间的吸引力，这解释了金属的可锻性、延展性以及良好的导电导热性。
4. Stoichiometry | 化学计量学
The mole is the unit for amount of substance, containing 6.02 × 10²³ particles. Chemists use the mole concept to relate masses, gas volumes and concentrations. Key formulas include n = m / Mᵣ (moles = mass ÷ molar mass) and, for gases at room temperature and pressure, n = V / 24 dm³. By balancing equations, the mole ratios of reactants and products can be deduced, allowing calculations of reacting masses, limiting reagents, percentage yield and empirical formulae. For example, in the reaction 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO, 2 moles of magnesium react with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide.
摩尔是物质的量的单位，1摩尔任何物质含有6.02 × 10²³ 个粒子。利用摩尔概念可以联系质量、气体体积与浓度。核心公式包括 n = m / Mᵣ（物质的量=质量÷摩尔质量），以及在常温常压下气体的体积公式 n = V / 24 dm³。通过配平化学方程式，可以得出反应物与生成物之间的摩尔比，进而计算反应质量、限量试剂、产率和经验式。例如反应 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO 中，2摩尔镁与1摩尔氧气反应生成2摩尔氧化镁。
n = m / Mᵣ n = V (dm³) / 24
5. Acids, Bases and Salts | 酸、碱与盐
An acid is a proton (H⁺) donor, while a base is a proton acceptor. In water, acids produce H⁺ ions, which give them a pH less than 7; alkalis are soluble bases that release OH⁻ ions and have a pH greater than 7. Neutralisation occurs when H⁺ and OH⁻ combine to form water, and the general equation is acid + base → salt + water. Common laboratory acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and nitric acid (HNO₃). Salts can be prepared by reacting an acid with a metal, an insoluble base (or carbonate) or an alkali via titration. The name of the salt comes from the metal and the acid: e.g. sodium chloride from sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid.
酸是质子（H⁺）给予体，碱是质子接受体。酸在水中电离出 H⁺，使pH小于7；碱是可溶的碱性物质，释放OH⁻，pH大于7。H⁺ 与 OH⁻ 结合生成水的过程称为中和反应，通式为：酸 + 碱 → 盐 + 水。实验室常用酸有盐酸（HCl）、硫酸（H₂SO₄）和硝酸（HNO₃）。制取盐的方法包括酸与金属、不溶性碱（或碳酸盐）反应，或通过酸碱滴定。盐的名称由金属和酸决定，如氢氧化钠与盐酸反应生成氯化钠。
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
6. The Periodic Table | 元素周期表
The Periodic Table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number. Periods are horizontal rows; the number of electron shells equals the period number. Groups are vertical columns; elements in the same group have the same number of outer-shell electrons and similar chemical properties. Group 1 (alkali metals) are soft, reactive metals that form 1⁺ ions; reactivity increases down the group. Group 7 (halogens) are diatomic non-metals that form 1⁻ ions; reactivity decreases down the group. Group 8 or 0 (noble gases) are monatomic and unreactive because they have a full outer electron shell. Transition elements, located in the middle, form coloured compounds and are often used as catalysts.
元素周期表按原子序数递增排列。周期是横排，周期数等于电子层数。族是纵列，同族元素最外层电子数相同，因此化学性质相似。第1族（碱金属）是质软、活泼的金属，易形成1⁺离子，反应活性向下增强。第7族（卤素）是双原子非金属，形成1⁻离子，反应活性向下减弱。第8/0族（稀有气体）为单原子分子，因最外层电子已满，化学性质极不活泼。位于中部的过渡金属常能形成有色化合物，并常用作催化剂。
7. Electrochemistry | 电化学
Electrolysis is the decomposition of an ionic compound, when molten or in aqueous solution, by passing a direct electric current. Positive ions (cations) migrate to the cathode and gain electrons (reduction); negative ions (anions) migrate to the anode and lose electrons (oxidation). In the electrolysis of molten lead(II) bromide, Pb²⁺ ions are reduced to lead at the cathode, and Br⁻ ions are oxidised to bromine at the anode. When an aqueous solution is used, the discharge of ions depends on their position in the reactivity series and the concentration. Electroplating and the purification of copper are important industrial applications. Simple cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy; the more reactive metal acts as the negative electrode.
电解是在直流电作用下使熔融态或水溶液中的离子化合物分解的过程。阳离子移向阴极得电子发生还原反应；阴离子移向阳极失电子发生氧化反应。电解熔融溴化铅时，Pb²⁺ 在阴极还原为铅，Br⁻ 在阳极氧化为溴。若采用水溶液，离子的放电顺序取决于其活泼性和浓度。电镀和铜的精炼是重要的工业应用。简单原电池能将化学能转变为电能，其中较活泼的金属作负极。
Cathode: Pb²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Pb Anode: 2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻
8. Energetics | 能量学
Chemical reactions involve energy transfers. Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings, causing a temperature rise; examples include combustion, neutralisation and the addition of water to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. Endothermic reactions absorb heat, leading to a temperature drop; examples are thermal decomposition and the reaction between citric acid and sodium hydrogencarbonate. The overall energy change of a reaction can be calculated using bond energies: energy absorbed to break bonds in reactants minus energy released when new bonds form in products. In an energy level diagram, exothermic reactions show products at a lower energy than reactants, whereas endothermic reactions show products at a higher energy.
化学反应伴随能量转移。放热反应向环境释放热量，使温度升高，如燃烧、中和反应以及无水硫酸铜遇水变蓝；吸热反应吸收热量，使温度降低，如热分解和柠檬酸与碳酸氢钠的反应。反应的总能量变化可通过键能计算：反应物断裂化学键吸收的能量减去生成物形成新键释放的能量。在能级图中，放热反应的生成物能级低于反应物，吸热反应的生成物能级高于反应物。
H = (bond energies of bonds broken) – (bond energies of bonds formed)
9. Rates of Reaction | 反应速率
The rate of a chemical reaction measures how quickly reactants are converted into products. It can be increased by raising the temperature, increasing the concentration of solutions, increasing the pressure of gases, or adding a catalyst. These factors work by providing more frequent collisions with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy. Catalysts offer an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy, enabling more particles to react without being consumed. The effect of a factor can be monitored by measuring the volume of gas evolved, the change in mass or the time taken for a precipitate to obscure a cross under a flask.
化学反应速率衡量反应物转化为生成物的快慢。升高温度、增大溶液浓度、增大气体压强或加入催化剂均可提高反应速率。这些因素通过增加有效碰撞频率——即碰撞能量等于或大于活化能的频率——来加快反应。催化剂提供一条活化能更低的反应路径，使更多粒子能够反应，而自身在反应前后不变。实验时可通过测量气体产生体积、质量变化或生成沉淀遮挡“十字”所需的时间来追踪速率变化。
10. Organic Chemistry | 有机化学
Organic chemistry focuses on compounds of carbon. Alkanes, such as methane (CH₄) and ethane (C₂H₆), are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂; they undergo substitution reactions with halogens and combustion to produce CO₂ and H₂O. Alkenes, such as ethene (C₂H₄), contain a C=C double bond (unsaturated) and follow the formula CₙH₂ₙ; they decolourise bromine water in an addition reaction. Alcohols like ethanol (C₂H₅OH) can be made by fermentation and are used as fuels and solvents. Carboxylic acids (e.g. ethanoic acid) react with alcohols to form esters. Addition polymerisation of alkenes produces long-chain polymers such as poly(ethene) and poly(propene), which are widely used in plastics.
有机化学研究碳的化合物。烷烃如甲烷（CH₄）和乙烷（C₂H₆）是饱和烃，通式为 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂，能发生卤素取代反应和燃烧生成CO₂与H₂O。烯烃如乙烯（C₂H₄）含有碳碳双键（不饱和），通式为 CₙH₂ₙ，能在加成反应中使溴水褪色。醇类如乙醇（C₂H₅OH）可通过发酵制得，用作燃料和溶剂。羧酸（如乙酸）与醇反应生成酯。烯烃的加成聚合可制得长链聚合物，如聚乙烯和聚丙烯，被广泛用于塑料工业。
