Compounds
A compound is an intimate combination of two or more elements in which the elements become attached to one another. Compounds can be recognized by their scientific name, which does not appear on the table of elements but contains the name (or part of the name) of two or more elements. Table salt is actually a compound called sodium chloride, and the names of two elements sodium and chlorine appear in the name of this compound.
Heterogeneous mixtures
A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of two or more elements or compounds, which appears (to the eye) to be more than one layer or material. For instance, when sand (a compound) is added to water (actually the compound hydrogen oxide), the sand settles in one layer on the bottom with the water forming another layer on top.
Homogeneous mixtures (also called solutions)
A homogeneous mixture (solution) is a combination of two or more elements or compounds, which appears (to the eye) to be one layer or material. For instance, when salt (a compound) is added to water (actually the compound hydrogen oxide), the two materials mix with the salt dissolving (disappearing) to make a solution.

1.9: ATOMIC STRUCTURE
All matter is composed of atoms, the most basic unit. You can think of an atom like our solar system with most its mass concentrated at the center and smaller objects orbiting around the central mass. The large central mass of the atom is called the nucleus and contains two types of particles called protons and neutrons. The protons have a positive (+) charge; the neutrons have no charge. The low-mass particles orbiting around the nucleus are called the electrons; they have a negative (-) charge.

The following equation is used to calculate density if you know the mass (in grams) and the volume (in milliliters).
D (g/ml) = M(g) / V(ml) 1.) 35.6 ml = V 1.86 g/ml = D find M = D x V = 1.86 x 35.6 = 66.2 grams 2.) 13.6 g/ml = D 1000 g = M find V = M / D = 1000 / 13.6 = 73.5 ml 3.) 200 ml = V 620 g = M find D = M / V = 620 g / 200 ml = 3.10 g/ml

1.4: DENSITY
Density represents the mass of a substance in a unit volume of that substance. The density of most solids or liquids is expressed in the unit grams per milliliter (or g/ml).
1.7: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES
Examples of physical changes are the processes of: melting freezing boiling (or evaporation) condensation dissolving Examples of chemical changes are the processes of: burning (or combustion) - heat/light evolved rusting (or oxidizing) - color change (gray steel to red rust) an explosion - gas evolved baking
In multiplication or division calculations, the result should be rounded off so as to contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least number of significant figures.
Examples: 128.61 / 51.20 = 2.51191 = 2.512 (round off to 4 significant figures because of 51.20) 54.06 x 17.0 = 919.02 = 919 (round off to 3 significant figures because of 17.0)
The appropriate number of significant figures must be reported in any answer resulting from a calculation. The rules for reporting the correct number of significant figures in an answer depends on whether the calculation involved addition/subtraction or multiplication/division. In addition or subtraction calculations, the result should be rounded off (more about that later) so that it has the same number of decimal places as the measurement having the fewest decimal places (counting from left to right).
Examples: 8.612 + 4.51 + 0.20 + 3.9 = 17.222 = 17.2 (round off to tenths place because of 3.9) 47.60 - 23. = 24.60 = 25 (round off to the unit's place because of 23.)

Rules for rounding off numbers: Wait until all operations (in a multiple-step problem) have been done before rounding off the final answer.
If the digit to be dropped is greater than 5, the last retained digit is increased by one. For example, 12.6 is rounded to 13. If the digit to be dropped is less than 5, the last remaining digit is left as it is. For example, 12.4 is rounded to 12. If the digit to be dropped is 5, and if any digit following it is not zero, the last remaining digit is increased by one. For example, 12.51 is rounded to 13. If the digit to be dropped is 5 and is followed only by zeroes, the last remaining digit is increased by one if it is odd but left as it is if even. For example, 11.5 is rounded to 12, 12.5 is rounded to 12.

isotopes
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons as one another, but they have differing numbers of neutrons. This means that they have the same atomic number and charge (0) but different mass numbers.

1.8: CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE
Melting ice to liquid water requires heat to be added, so process is endothermic. Condensing steam to liquid water requires heat to be extracted, so the process is exothermic. Cooling liquid water from 25° to 20° requires heat to be extracted, so the process is exothermic. Burning natural gas gives off heat (and light as a flame), so process is exothermic. Applying an instant cold pack from an athletic trainer's kit to the bruised knee of a soccer player extracts heat from the knee, so the process is exothermic.

1.5: SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Rules for determining significant figures in a number: All non-zero digits are significant. All zeros between or following non-zero numbers are significant. Zeros to the left of a decimal or preceding other non-zero numbers are not significant. 4326.7 - This number contains 5 significant figures (in bold). 400.70 - This number contains 5 significant figures (in bold). 0.3267 - This number contains 4 significant figures (in bold). 0.0070 - This number contains 2 significant figures (in bold). 0.5070 - This number contains 4 significant figures (in bold).

1.10: CHEMICAL NAMES - 1. Binary Ionic Compounds
The name of an element is slightly modified when naming it as part of a binary (containing only two elements: a metal and a nonmetal) compound since the metal has become a positively charged ion (cation) and the nonmetal has become a negatively-charged ion (anion). Metal name + nonmetal stem + "ide"
1.1 EXPONENTIAL NUMBERS
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. This is 1.86 x 105 (in exponential form) The diameter of an E. coli cell is 0.00000080 meters = 8.0 x 10-7 (in exponential form) 4950000000. A number larger than one will have a positive exponent. Move the decimal point nine places to the left to give 4.95 x 109 0.00000000000056 A number smaller than one will have a negative exponent. Move the decimal point 13 places to the right to give 5.6 x 10-13 1.) 0.00000456 = smaller than 1 = negative exponent, move decimal 6 places = 4.56 x 10-6 2.) 2.63 x 107 = positive exponent = larger than 1, move decimal 7 places = 26300000. 3.) 7800000. = larger than 1 = positive exponent, move decimal 6 places = 7.8 x 106 4.) 8.26 x 10-5 = negative exponent = smaller than 1, move decimal 5 places = 0.0000826 5.) 5.38 x 10-3 = negative exponent = smaller than 1, move decimal 3 places = 0.00538 6.) 0.000673 = smaller than 1 = negative exponent, move decimal 4 places = 6.73 x 10-4 7.) 3.82 x 104 = positive exponent = larger than 1, move decimal 4 places = 38200. 8.) 623000000. = larger than 1 = positive exponent, move decimal 8 places = 6.23 X 108

°C to K(°C and K differ by 273)
°C (smaller) + 273 = K (larger)
°C to °F(Multiply by 1.8, and add 32)
°C X 1.8 + 32 = °F
°F to °C(Subtract 32, and divide by 1.8)
°F - 32 / 1.8 = °C
