* 🔬 Professor SalvaPaz starts the chemistry class with a warm welcome and introduces the team, including teacher Benja and Professor Miguel, who will be **available to answer questions during the live session**.
* 👨 The class focuses on the atomic structure, starting with the history of the atom from **Democritus to Dalton**, **J.J. Thomson's model**, **Rutherford's gold foil experiment**, and **Bohr's planetary model**.
* 👥 Subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons are discussed, with **protons and neutrons in the nucleus** and **electrons orbiting around it**.
* 👨 The standardized form of representing an atom with the **atomic number (Z)**, **mass number (A)**, and **charge** is explained, along with the concept of **isotopes**.
* 👩 The periodic table is introduced, and students are encouraged to learn the names of each group (**alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases**) and understand the **arrangement of groups and periods**.
* ⚛ Chemical bonds, including **metallic**, **ionic**, and **covalent bonds**, are covered, with metallic bonds formed between metals, ionic bonds between a metal and a non-metal, and covalent bonds between non-metals.
* 💍 Covalent bonds can be polar or nonpolar, with polar bonds having an **unequal sharing of electrons**, and nonpolar bonds having an **equal sharing**.
* The class includes interactive exercises to test students' knowledge, such as **identifying the isotope of an element** and **determining which pairs of elements form covalent compounds**.

### Organic Chemistry: Fundamentals, Nomenclature, Functional Groups, and Hydrocarbons
* 🧪 Organic chemistry involves understanding the hybridization of carbon, with **sp3 for single bonds**, **sp2 for double bonds**, and **sp for triple bonds**.
* 🔢 "A carbon is **sp3** if it has single bonds, **sp2** if it has double bonds, and **sp** if it has triple bonds."
* 🔗 Single bonds are **sigma bonds**, while in double bonds there is one **sigma and one pi bond** at **120 degrees**.
* 👩 "It's crucial to know the types of **primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbons**."
* 📝 Different formulas used in organic chemistry include **fully developed, semi-developed, condensed, linear, and molecular formulas**.
* 🦠 Hydrocarbons, the basis of organic chemistry, are compounds of hydrogen and carbon, with **alkanes having single bonds**, **alkenes double bonds**, and **alkynes triple bonds**.
* - Functional groups are essential in organic chemistry nomenclature, with **halides, ethers, amines, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, amides, esters, and carboxylic acids** being common functional groups.

Introducing the Chemistry Team for a Learning Session

The chemistry team, led by Professor Benja and Professor Miguel, is ready to guide students through a live learning session.

The session will focus on the stoichiometry axis, covering atomic structure, organic chemistry, and functional groups.

The team emphasizes the importance of covering all syllabus topics to ensure preparedness for the national standardized tests.

Democritus first proposed the idea of the atom as the indivisible unit of matter.

Dalton later described the atom as a rigid and compact sphere, while Thomson's model introduced the concept of subatomic particles with positive and negative charges.

Rutherford's gold foil experiment confirmed the existence of the atomic nucleus, leading to Bohr's planetary model and the understanding of subatomic particles' characteristics.

The Standardized Representation of Atoms and the Periodic Table

Atoms are represented with "X" for the unknown atom, "Z" for the number of protons, and "A" for the mass number, while the symbol indicates the atom's charge.

The periodic table organizes elements into groups and periods, with group names such as alkali metals, halogens, and noble gases.

The lesson also covers the three fundamental chemical bonds: metallic, ionic, and covalent, explaining their characteristics and the types of elements they form between.

Understanding Electronegativity and Chemical Bonding

Salt is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water, as it generates ions that improve the conduction of electric current, with electronegativity playing a key role in this process.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons, with the most electronegative elements located on the top right of the periodic table, particularly fluorine.

Chemical bonds can be ionic or covalent, with covalent bonds further divided into polar and nonpolar, depending on the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved.

Understanding Covalent Compounds and Atomic Models

Covalent compounds are formed by non-metal elements bonding together.

The process of identifying covalent compounds can be aided by using the periodic table to recognize non-metal elements.

Understanding atomic models involves knowing the relationship between protons, neutrons, electrons, atomic number, and mass number, as well as the concept of ions and the difference between sigma and pi bonds in different hybridizations.

Carbon's bonding type (sp, sp2, sp3) is determined by the number of bonds (single, double, triple) and is related to its geometry.

The classification of carbon (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary) is based on the number of carbon attachments.

The molecular structure of a carbon compound can be represented in different forms (fully developed, semi-developed, condensed, linear), each showing varying levels of detail.

Hydrocarbons, consisting of hydrogen and carbon, are classified as alkanes and alkenes, which are linear or open-chain hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbon Formulas and Nomenclature in Organic Chemistry

The formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, alkenes is CnH2n, and alkynes is CnH2n-2.

The main chain in hydrocarbons is determined by the one with the most carbon atoms, and any remaining chains are named as radicals in alphabetical order.

The priority table for functional groups in nomenclature ranges from halides as the lowest to carboxylic acids as the highest priority.

Naming Functional Groups in Organic Chemistry

Carbon compounds are named based on the priority of functional groups, with a specific order for naming them.

The priority of functional groups is determined by their position in the compound, with prefixes and suffixes indicating the names of different groups.

The number of sigma bonds in a compound can be determined by counting the single bonds, and understanding this is fundamental in organic chemistry.

The longest carbon chain determines the parent name in organic nomenclature.

Different gas laws, including Boyle's, Charles's, Gay-Lussac's, and Avogadro's, describe the behavior of gases under various conditions.

Physical changes in chemistry involve alterations in state, while chemical changes are related to the breaking and formation of bonds.

Homogeneous mixtures cannot be separated by filtration and consist of a single phase, while heterogeneous mixtures can be separated by filtration, decantation, and sieving.

Stoichiometry and Molar Mass Calculations in Chemistry

The process involves converting grams to moles using the molar mass, then using stoichiometry to find the desired quantity.

Converting to moles first allows for easier manipulation of values.

Balancing the equation is crucial before carrying out stoichiometry calculations, and identifying the limiting reagent is essential for determining the quantity of product.
