1. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构与周期表
The atom consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbitals. The number of protons defines the element (atomic number, Z), while the sum of protons and neutrons gives the mass number (A). Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
原子由包含质子和中子的原子核以及核外轨道中的电子组成。质子数决定了元素身份（原子序数 Z），质子数加中子数等于质量数（A）。同位素是质子数相同而中子数不同的同种元素的原子。
Electron configurations are written using s, p, d notation. The first four shells fill in the order 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d. For example, Fe (Z=26) has the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s². Orbitals are regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron; s orbitals are spherical, p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped.
电子排布用 s、p、d 符号表示。前四层填充顺序为 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d。例如铁（Z=26）的电子排布是 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s²。轨道是电子出现概率高的区域；s 轨道为球形，p 轨道为哑铃形。
Ionisation energy trends across a period and down a group are fundamental. First ionisation energy generally increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge and similar shielding, making electrons harder to remove. It decreases down a group because outer electrons are further from the nucleus and experience more shielding.
元素周期表中电离能的变化趋势是核心考点。同一周期从左到右第一电离能总体上升，因为核电荷增加而屏蔽效应相近，电子更难失去；同一族从上到下第一电离能下降，因为最外层电子离核更远且受到更多屏蔽。
| Period 3 element | Na | Mg | Al | Si | P | S | Cl | Ar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st I.E. / kJ mol⁻¹ | 496 | 738 | 578 | 789 | 1012 | 1000 | 1251 | 1521 |
The drop from Mg to Al and from P to S is explained by electron subshell filling: Al has a 3p electron which is higher in energy and slightly shielded by the 3s subshell; S has a paired electron in a 3p orbital, leading to repulsion and easier removal.
Mg 到 Al 以及 P 到 S 的电离能下降可由电子亚层填充解释：Al 的最外层是 3p 电子，能量较高且受到 3s 亚层的一定屏蔽；S 的 3p 轨道中有一对成对电子，排斥作用使电子更易失去。
2. Amount of Substance (Mole Concept) | 物质的量（摩尔概念）
The mole is the unit for amount of substance, containing Avogadro’s number (6.022 × 10²³) of particles. The key equations are: n = m / M (moles = mass / molar mass) and for solutions, c = n / V (concentration = moles / volume in dm³). For gases at room temperature and pressure (RTP), molar volume = 24 dm³ mol⁻¹; at standard temperature and pressure (STP), it is 22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹. The ideal gas equation pV = nRT uses pressure in Pa, volume in m³, temperature in K, and R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.
摩尔是物质的量的单位，1 摩尔粒子含有阿伏伽德罗常数（6.022 × 10²³）个微粒。核心公式为：n = m / M（摩尔 = 质量 / 摩尔质量）以及溶液浓度 c = n / V（浓度 = 摩尔数 / 体积，单位为 dm³）。气体在室温常压（RTP）下的摩尔体积为 24 dm³ mol⁻¹；在标准状况（STP）下为 22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹。理想气体状态方程 pV = nRT 中，压强 p 用 Pa，体积 V 用 m³，温度 T 用 K，气体常数 R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹。
Empirical formula gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, while molecular formula gives the actual number of atoms. Percentage yield and atom economy are used to evaluate reaction efficiency. Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / sum of molar masses of all products) × 100%.
最简式（实验式）表示化合物中各原子的最简整数比，分子式则给出实际原子数目。产率百分数和原子经济性用于评价反应效率。原子经济性 = （目标产物的摩尔质量 / 所有产物摩尔质量之和）× 100%。
3. Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构
Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals, involving electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Giant ionic lattices have high melting points, are brittle, and conduct electricity when molten or dissolved. Covalent bonding involves sharing of electron pairs. Simple molecular substances (e.g., I₂, H₂O) have low melting points due to weak intermolecular forces, whereas giant covalent structures (diamond, graphite, SiO₂) have very high melting points.
离子键存在于金属与非金属之间，依靠正负离子间的静电引力。巨型离子晶格熔点高、脆性大，在熔融或溶解时可导电。共价键通过共用电子对形成。简单分子物质（如 I₂、H₂O）分子间作用力弱，熔点低；而巨型共价结构（金刚石、石墨、SiO₂）熔点极高。
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electrons. This explains metallic properties such as electrical conductivity, malleability and ductility. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Polar bonds arise from electronegativity difference, and molecular shape is predicted by VSEPR theory (e.g., linear BeCl₂, trigonal planar BF₃, tetrahedral CH₄, pyramidal NH₃, bent H₂O).
金属键是金属阳离子与离域电子海之间的引力，这解释了导电性、延展性和展性等金属特性。电负性是原子在共价键中吸引电子对的能力。电负性差导致极性键产生；分子形状可通过 VSEPR 理论预测（如直线形 BeCl₂、平面三角形 BF₃、正四面体形 CH₄、三角锥形 NH₃、V 形 H₂O）。
Intermolecular forces include London (dispersion) forces, permanent dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding occurs when H is bonded to N, O or F, and significantly raises boiling points (e.g., H₂O vs H₂S). In graphite, the layers are held by weak London forces, allowing them to slide, while each layer contains strong covalent bonds and delocalised electrons that conduct electricity along the planes.
分子间作用力包括伦敦（色散）力、永久偶极-偶极相互作用和氢键。氢键存在于 H 与 N、O 或 F 相连的分子中，会显著提升沸点（例如 H₂O 与 H₂S 对比）。石墨中，层间靠微弱的伦敦力结合，因此可以滑动；每层内则含有强共价键和离域电子，可沿层平面导电。
4. Energetics | 能量学
Enthalpy change (ΔH) is the heat energy transferred in a reaction at constant pressure. Standard conditions are 100 kPa and 298 K, with all substances in their standard states. Exothermic reactions (ΔH negative) release heat, while endothermic reactions (ΔH positive) absorb heat. Mean bond enthalpies allow approximate ΔH calculations: ΔH = Σ(bond enthalpies broken) – Σ(bond enthalpies made).
焓变（ΔH）是恒压反应中的热量变化。标准条件为 100 kPa、298 K，所有物质处于标准态。放热反应 ΔH 为负值，释放热量；吸热反应 ΔH 为正值，吸收热量。平均键焓可用于估算 ΔH：ΔH = Σ(断裂键的键焓) – Σ(形成键的键焓)。
Hess’s law states that the enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken. It is used to construct enthalpy cycles and calculate ΔH via enthalpies of formation or combustion. Calorimetry experiments measure temperature changes to determine ΔH: q = mcΔT, then ΔH = -q / n.
盖斯定律指出，一个反应的焓变与反应途径无关。可利用盖斯定律构建焓循环，通过生成焓或燃烧焓计算 ΔH。量热实验通过测量温度变化求 ΔH：q = mcΔT，然后 ΔH = -q / n。
ΔH° = ΣΔH_f°(products) – ΣΔH_f°(reactants)
Standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH_f°) is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard states. Standard enthalpy of combustion (ΔH_c°) refers to complete combustion of one mole of a substance.
标准生成焓（ΔH_f°）指在标准状态下，由元素生成一摩尔化合物时的焓变。标准燃烧焓（ΔH_c°）指一摩尔物质完全燃烧的焓变。
5. Kinetics | 动力学
Reaction rate is influenced by concentration, pressure (for gases), temperature, surface area and catalysts. The collision theory states that particles must collide with sufficient energy (activation energy, Eₐ) and correct orientation for a reaction to occur. A Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve shows the distribution of molecular energies at a given temperature; increasing temperature flattens the curve and shifts the peak to higher energies, greatly increasing the proportion of particles with E ≥ Eₐ.
反应速率受浓度、压强（对气体）、温度、表面积和催化剂的影响。碰撞理论指出，粒子必须以足够的能量（活化能 Eₐ）和正确的取向碰撞才能发生反应。麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布曲线展示了一定温度下分子能量的分布；升温使曲线变平缓，峰右移，大大增加了能量不低于活化能的粒子比例。
Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy, thus speeding up both forward and reverse reactions equally without being consumed. Heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase from the reactants, often solids with active sites where adsorption occurs, while homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase.
催化剂提供活化能更低的反应途径，同等程度加快正逆反应且自身不被消耗。多相催化剂与反应物处于不同相态，通常为固体，通过表面活性位点吸附反应物；均相催化剂则与反应物同相。
6. Chemical Equilibrium | 化学平衡
Many reactions are reversible, reaching a dynamic equilibrium where the forward and backward rates are equal and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant. Le Chatelier’s principle predicts the effect of changes in concentration, pressure and temperature on the position of equilibrium: the system shifts to oppose the imposed change.
许多反应是可逆的，达到动态平衡时正逆反应速率相等，各物质浓度保持不变。勒夏特列原理可预测浓度、压力和温度变化对平衡位置的影响：平衡向着减弱这种改变的方向移动。
The equilibrium constant Kc is expressed in terms of concentrations. For the reaction aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD, Kc = [C]^c [D]^d / ([A]^a [B]^b). The magnitude of Kc indicates the position of equilibrium: a value >> 1 means the equilibrium lies to the right, favouring products. Only temperature changes the value of Kc; catalysts do not affect the equilibrium position or Kc.
平衡常数 Kc 以浓度表示。对于反应 aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD，Kc = [C]^c [D]^d / ([A]^a [B]^b)。Kc 的大小反映了平衡位置：远大于 1 表示平衡偏右，产物占优。只有温度能改变 Kc 值；催化剂不影响平衡位置和 Kc。
In industrial processes, conditions are chosen to optimise both rate and yield. For example, in the Haber process (N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, ΔH = -92 kJ mol⁻¹), a compromise temperature of 400–450 °C and high pressure (200 atm) are used with an iron catalyst.
工业上选择反应条件需兼顾速率和产率。例如哈伯法合成氨（N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃，ΔH = -92 kJ mol⁻¹），采用折中温度 400–450 °C、高压（200 atm）和铁催化剂。
7. Redox Reactions | 氧化还原反应
Oxidation is loss of electrons, reduction is gain of electrons (OIL RIG). Oxidation numbers help track electron transfer. Rules: elements have oxidation number 0; oxygen usually -2 (except peroxides); hydrogen +1 (except metal hydrides); monatomic ion equals the charge; sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is 0, in a polyatomic ion equals the ion charge.
氧化是失去电子，还原是得到电子（OIL RIG）。氧化数用于追踪电子转移。规则：单质氧化数为 0；氧通常为 -2（过氧化物除外）；氢为 +1（金属氢化物除外）；单原子离子的氧化数等于电荷数；中性化合物中各元素氧化数之和为 0，多原子离子则等于离子电荷。
A redox reaction involves both oxidation and reduction; the species that is reduced is the oxidising agent, and the species that is oxidised is the reducing agent. Half-equations show the electron transfer. Disproportionation is a reaction where the same element is simultaneously oxidised and reduced, e.g., Cl₂ + 2NaOH → NaCl + NaClO + H₂O.
氧化还原反应包含氧化和还原两个过程；被还原的物质是氧化剂，被氧化的物质是还原剂。半反应式标明了电子转移。歧化反应是指同一元素同时被氧化和被还原，例如 Cl₂ + 2NaOH → NaCl + NaClO + H₂O。
Electrochemical cells use redox reactions to produce electrical energy. The standard electrode potential (E°) measures the tendency of a species to be reduced. Cells are represented by cell diagrams, and the cell emf is E°(right) – E°(left).
电化学电池利用氧化还原反应产生电能。标准电极电势（E°）衡量物质被还原的趋势。电池用电池图示表示，电池电动势为 E°(右) – E°(左)。
8. Group 2 and Group 7 Chemistry | 第2族和第7族化学
Group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) have two outer electrons and form 2+ ions. Reactivity increases down the group as ionisation energies decrease. They react with water to form hydroxides and hydrogen: e.g., Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂. Solubility of hydroxides increases down the group (Mg(OH)₂ is sparingly soluble, Ba(OH)₂ is soluble), while solubility of sulfates decreases.
第2族元素（碱土金属）最外层有两个电子，形成+2 离子。随着电离能下降，反应活性自上而下递增。它们与水反应生成氢氧化物和氢气：例如 Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂。氢氧化物溶解度由上到下递增（Mg(OH)₂ 微溶，Ba(OH)₂ 可溶），而硫酸盐溶解度则递减。
Group 7 elements (halogens) exist as diatomic molecules. Electronegativity and oxidising power decrease down the group. A more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halide from its salt: Cl₂ + 2KBr → 2KCl + Br₂. Halide ions act as reducing agents; reducing power increases down the group. Reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid demonstrates this: Cl⁻ gives HCl, Br⁻ gives Br₂ and SO₂, I⁻ gives I₂, H₂S and S.
第7族元素（卤素）以双原子分子形式存在。电负性和氧化能力自上而下减弱。活泼的卤素能把较不活泼的卤素从它的卤化物中置换出来：Cl₂ + 2KBr → 2KCl + Br₂。卤素离子作为还原剂，还原能力向下增强。与浓硫酸的反应可体现这一趋势：Cl⁻ 生成 HCl，Br⁻ 生成 Br₂ 和 SO₂，I⁻ 生成 I₂、H₂S 和 S。
9. Introduction to Organic Chemistry | 有机化学入门
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. Carbon forms four covalent bonds, leading to chains, rings and functional groups. Homologous series are families of compounds with the same functional group, similar chemical properties and a trend in physical properties. General formulas describe the composition of each series, e.g., alkanes CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, alkenes CₙH₂ₙ.
有机化学研究碳化合物。碳可形成四个共价键，产生链状、环状和各类官能团。同系列是具有相同官能团、化学性质相似且物理性质呈规律变化的化合物家族。通式描述了每个系列的组成，如烷烃 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂，烯烃 CₙH₂ₙ。
IUPAC naming follows systematic rules: identify the longest carbon chain, name the principal functional group, number the chain to give the lowest numbers to substituents, and list substituents alphabetically. Structural isomerism includes chain, position and functional group isomers. E/Z stereoisomerism occurs in alkenes with restricted rotation and different groups attached to each carbon of the double bond; the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules determine E (opposite sides) and Z (same side) configurations.
IUPAC 命名遵循系统规则：找出最长碳链，确定主官能团，编号以使取代基位次最小，并按字母顺序列出取代基。结构异构包括碳链异构、位置异构和官能团异构。E/Z 立体异构存在于含有碳碳双键且每个双键碳上连有不同基团的烯烃中；根据 Cahn-Ingold-Prelog 优先规则，高优先级基团在双键异侧为 E，同侧为 Z。
10. Alkanes and Alkenes | 烷烃与烯烃
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Their main reactions are combustion and radical substitution with halogens. In complete combustion, alkanes produce CO₂ and H₂O; incomplete combustion produces CO and/or C. Halogenation requires UV light and proceeds via free-radical substitution with steps: initiation (Cl₂ → 2Cl•), propagation (Cl• + CH₄ → •CH₃ + HCl; •CH₃ + Cl₂ → CH₃Cl + Cl•) and termination.
烷烃是饱和烃，主要反应为燃烧和卤素自由基取代。完全燃烧生成 CO₂ 和 H₂O；不完全燃烧生成 CO 和/或 C。卤代反应需要紫外光，经自由基取代机理进行，包含引发（Cl₂ → 2Cl•）、增长（Cl• + CH₄ → •CH₃ + HCl；•CH₃ + Cl₂ → CH₃Cl + Cl•）和终止步骤。
Alkenes contain a C=C double bond and are unsaturated. The π-bond makes them much more reactive than alkanes. They undergo electrophilic addition: e.g., with HBr, Br₂ or H₂SO₄. In the reaction with unsymmetrical reagents like HBr, Markovnikov’s rule applies (the hydrogen attaches to the carbon with more hydrogens already). The mechanism for bromination shows the polarisation of Br₂ by the electron-rich double bond, leading to heterolytic fission and formation of a carbocation intermediate, which then reacts with Br⁻.
烯烃含有 C=C 双键，属于不饱和烃。π 键使它们远比烷烃活泼，可发生亲电加成，例如与 HBr、Br₂ 或 H₂SO₄ 反应。在与不对称试剂（如 HBr）反应时，遵循马氏规则（氢加到原连氢较多的碳上）。溴化反应机理表明，富电子的双键使 Br₂ 极化，发生异裂并生成碳正离子中间体，后者再与 Br⁻ 结合。
Addition polymers are formed from alkenes: the double bond opens up and monomers link together. Poly(ethene), poly(propene) and PVC are common examples. The properties of polymers depend on the monomer, chain length, branching and cross-linking.
烯烃可经加成聚合生成聚合物：双键打开，单体连接成长链。常见例子有聚乙烯、聚丙烯和聚氯乙烯。聚合物的性能取决于单体种类、链长、支链和交联程度。
11. Halogenoalkanes and Alcohols | 卤代烃与醇
Halogenoalkanes contain a polar carbon–halogen bond, making the carbon susceptible to nucleophilic attack. They undergo nucleophilic substitution with :OH⁻, :CN⁻ and NH₃. The hydrolysis rate depends on the halogen: C–I is weakest and hydrolyses fastest, C–F is strongest and slowest, allowing classification by reaction with AgNO₃. Primary halogenoalkanes react via S_N2, tertiary via S_N1, while secondary can use both.
卤代烃含有极性的碳-卤键，使碳易受亲核进攻。它们可与 :OH⁻、:CN⁻ 和 NH₃ 等发生亲核取代。水解速率取决于卤素：C–I 键最弱，水解最快；C–F 键最强，最慢，可通过与 AgNO₃ 的反应进行区分。伯卤代烃经 S_N2 机理，叔卤代烃经 S_N1 机理，仲卤代烃二者均可。
Alcohols have the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₁OH. They can be classified as primary, secondary or tertiary based on the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon bearing the –OH group. Primary alcohols are oxidised to aldehydes and then to carboxylic acids; secondary alcohols give ketones; tertiary alcohols resist oxidation. Reagents: acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ with distillation for aldehyde, or reflux for carboxylic acid.
醇的通式为 CₙH₂ₙ₊₁OH，根据与 -OH 相连的碳上所连烷基数目分为伯、仲、叔醇。伯醇可被氧化成醛，再氧化成羧酸；仲醇氧化成酮；叔醇不易被氧化。所用试剂为酸化 K₂Cr₂O₇，制醛时用蒸馏，制羧酸时用回流。
Ethanol can be produced by fermentation of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂) or by hydration of ethene (C₂H₄ + H₂O ⇌ C₂H₅OH with H₃PO₄ catalyst). The relative advantages and conditions of each method are frequently examined.
乙醇可通过葡萄糖发酵（C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂）或乙烯水化（C₂H₄ + H₂O ⇌ C₂H₅OH，H₃PO₄ 催化）制取。两种方法的条件和优缺点对比是常见考点。
12. Organic Analysis (IR, Mass Spectrometry) | 有机分析（红外、质谱）
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy identifies functional groups by absorption of infrared radiation causing bond vibrations. Each bond type absorbs at characteristic wavenumbers: O–H (alcohols) gives a broad peak at 2500–3300 cm⁻¹, C=O at 1680–1750 cm⁻¹, C–O at 1000–1300 cm⁻¹, and C=C at around 1600–1650 cm⁻¹. The fingerprint region below 1500 cm⁻¹ is unique to each compound.
红外光谱通过分子中化学键对红外辐射的吸收来鉴别官能团。不同类型的键在特征波数处产生吸收：醇的 O–H 在 2500–3300 cm⁻¹ 形成宽峰，C=O 在 1680–1750 cm⁻¹，C–O 在 1000–1300 cm⁻¹，C=C 大约在 1600–1650 cm⁻¹。低于 1500 cm⁻¹ 的指纹区对每种化合物都是独特的。
Mass spectrometry is used to determine molecular mass and structure. The molecular ion peak (M⁺ or M) gives the relative molecular mass. Fragmentation patterns provide clues about the structure, with peaks at m/z values corresponding to stable carbocations. The presence of isotopes (e.g., ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl in a 3:1 ratio, or ⁷⁹Br and ⁸¹Br in a 1:1 ratio) produces characteristic M+2 peaks that help identify halogen-containing compounds.
质谱用于测定分子质量和结构。分子离子峰（M⁺ 或 M）给出相对分子质量。碎片峰模式为结构分析提供线索，m/z 值对应于稳定碳正离子。同位素的存在（如 ³⁵Cl 与 ³⁷Cl 比例 3:1，或 ⁷⁹Br 与 ⁸¹Br 比例 1:1）会产生特征性的 M+2 峰，有助于识别含卤化合物。
High-resolution mass spectrometry can distinguish between compounds with the same integer mass but different molecular formulas by measuring accurate masses to several decimal places. Together with IR data and chemical tests, the structure of unknown organic molecules can be deduced systematically.
高分辨质谱通过测量精确质量至小数点后几位，可区分整数质量相同但分子式不同的化合物。结合红外光谱和化学试验，可系统推断未知有机物的结构。
