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

Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons arranged in energy levels (shells). 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, hence different mass numbers. Mass spectrometry can be used to determine relative atomic masses from the abundance of isotopes.

原子由包含质子和中子的原子核以及核外分层排布的电子组成。质子数决定元素种类（原子序数 Z），质子数与中子数之和为质量数（A）。同位素是同种元素的中子数不同、因而质量数不同的原子。质谱仪可用于通过同位素丰度测定相对原子质量。

Electron configuration follows the Aufbau principle, filling orbitals in order of increasing energy: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, etc. Each orbital holds a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins (Pauli exclusion principle). Hund’s rule states that electrons occupy degenerate orbitals singly before pairing. Ionisation energy is the energy needed to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. The first ionisation energy generally increases across a period (greater nuclear charge, similar shielding) and decreases down a group (outer electron further from nucleus, increased shielding).

电子排布遵循构造原理，按照能量递增顺序填充轨道：1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d 等。每个轨道最多容纳两个自旋相反的电子（泡利不相容原理）。洪特规则指出电子先以自旋平行方式占据简并轨道，再配对。电离能是从一摩尔气态原子中移去一摩尔电子所需的能量。第一电离能在同周期从左到右总体增大（核电荷增大而屏蔽效应相似），在同族从上到下减小（外层电子离核更远，屏蔽增强）。

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

Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals, involving the transfer of electrons to form cations and anions held together by strong electrostatic forces. Ionic compounds have high melting points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution because the ions are free to move.

离子键存在于金属和非金属之间，通过电子转移形成阳离子和阴离子，以强大的静电引力结合。离子化合物熔点高，可溶于水，在熔融或水溶液中能导电，因为离子可以自由移动。

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between non-metal atoms. Simple molecular substances consist of small discrete molecules with weak intermolecular forces, giving them low melting points and poor electrical conductivity. Giant covalent structures (e.g., diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide) have extensive networks of strong covalent bonds, resulting in very high melting points and hardness.

共价键涉及非金属原子间共用电子对。简单分子物质由弱分子间力维系的小分子组成，因此熔点低、不导电。巨型共价结构（如金刚石、石墨、二氧化硅）具有广阔强共价键网络，熔点极高且硬度大。

Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and a ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons. This explains the malleability, ductility, and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity of metals.

金属键是带正电的金属离子与“电子海”中离域电子之间的静电吸引。这解释了金属的可锻性、延展性以及良好的导热导电性。

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Bond polarity arises when atoms of different electronegativity share electrons unequally. Intermolecular forces include London (dispersion) forces (present in all molecules, increasing with molecular size), permanent dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding (a strong dipole-dipole interaction between H bonded to N, O, or F and a lone pair on N, O, or F). Hydrogen bonding significantly raises boiling points, as seen in H₂O, NH₃ and HF.

电负性是原子在共价键中吸引成键电子对的能力。不同电负性的原子间共享电子不均等，导致键的极性。分子间作用力包括伦敦（色散）力（存在于所有分子中，随分子大小增强）、永久偶极-偶极相互作用以及氢键（H 与 N、O、F 成键后，与另一分子中 N、O、F 上的孤对电子之间的一种强偶极-偶极作用）。氢键显著提高沸点，如水、氨和氟化氢所示。

3. Shapes of Molecules and Polarity | 分子形状与极性

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs around a central atom repel each other and arrange themselves to minimise repulsion. The shape is determined by the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs. Common shapes are summarised in the table below.

价层电子对互斥理论（VSEPR）指出，中心原子周围的电子对相互排斥，并排列成使排斥最小的构型。分子形状由成键电子对和孤对电子对的数量决定。常见形状总结如下表。

Lone pairs exert greater repulsion than bonding pairs, reducing bond angles from the ideal tetrahedral value. A molecule is polar if it contains polar bonds and the molecular geometry is asymmetrical, so that the dipole moments do not cancel. For example, CO₂ is non-polar despite having polar C=O bonds because the linear shape cancels the dipoles, while H₂O is polar due to its bent shape.

孤对电子的排斥力大于成键电子对，使键角小于理想的四面体角度。若分子含有极性键且几何构型不对称，导致偶极矩不抵消，则该分子为极性分子。例如，CO₂ 虽有极性 C=O 键，但线性对称使偶极抵消，故非极性；而 H₂O 因弯曲构型而具极性。

4. The Mole and Stoichiometry | 摩尔与化学计量

The mole is the SI unit for amount of substance; one mole contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s constant). The key equation linking mass, molar mass and moles is:

摩尔是物质的量的国际单位，1 摩尔含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个粒子（阿伏伽德罗常数）。联系质量、摩尔质量和摩尔数的核心公式为：

n = m / M

where n = amount (mol), m = mass (g), M = molar mass (g mol⁻¹). For gases at room temperature and pressure (r.t.p.), molar volume is approximately 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹; at standard temperature and pressure (s.t.p.), it is 22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹. The ideal gas equation combines pressure, volume, temperature and moles:

其中 n = 物质的量（mol），m = 质量（g），M = 摩尔质量（g mol⁻¹）。在室温和常压（r.t.p.）下，气体摩尔体积约为 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹；标准状况（s.t.p.）下为 22.4 dm³ mol⁻¹。理想气体状态方程将压力、体积、温度和物质的量联系起来：

pV = nRT

p = pressure (Pa), V = volume (m³), n = moles, R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, T = temperature (K). The concentration of a solution is expressed as c = n / V, with units mol dm⁻³. In calculations, empirical formula (simplest whole-number ratio of atoms) and molecular formula (actual number of atoms) must be distinguished. Atom economy = (molar mass of desired product / sum of molar masses of all products
