5.1 The Nature of Energy
Energy: the capacity to do work or to transfer heat
Work: energy used to cause an object with mass to move
Heat: the energy used to cause the temperature of an object to increase -the energy transferred between a system and its surroundings as a result of their difference in temperature

Force: any kind of push or pull extorted on an object (example: gravity)
Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy
-objects can possess kinetic energy if they have mass and are in motion -to find the magnitude of kinetic energy= - Ek= (1/2)mv^2 -Ek= magnitude of kinetic energy -m= mass -v= speed
-kinetic energy increases as speed of object increase
-kinetic energy increases with increasing mass
Potential Energy Object can potential energy ( another form of energy) -depends on position relative to other objects -potential energy arises when there is force operating on an object -biker example -bicycle possesses certain potential energy by virtue of their elevation -energy decreases as move downward -lost energy= other forms of energy (ex. Kinetic energy) -potential energy equation: -Ep=mgh -m – mass -h: height -g: gravitational constant -electrostatic potential energy -energy arised from interactions between charged particles -electrostatic potential energy: proportional to electrical charges on the two objects and inversely proportional to distance separating them -equation: -Eel: (kQ1Q2)/d -k: constant of proportionality -8.99x10^9 J-m/C^2 -C is coulomb (electrical charges) -J is Joule, unit of energy -Q1 and Q2: electrical charges -on the order of

Chemistry Master Notes Covalent Bonding In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two atoms. Hydrogen is diatomic, energy is released when bonds are formed making H2 more stable. Molecules with a full outer shell become noble gas forms, very unreactive. Ionic Bonding Electrically charged ions are called Ions Positive = cation Negative = anion Metallic Bonding In the example of Na, the outer electron of each atom becomes ‘delocalised’ and free to…

Ionic Compounds, properties: - A compound that is composed entirely of ions is called an ionic compound. - Ionic compounds are formed from a metal and a non-metal. - Ionic compounds…

Science Chemistry Notes

Science- chemistry notes Definitions: Atoms: Tiny particles that make up all matter. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and are located at the centre of the atom, the nucleus. The electrons spin around the nucleus in a region of empty space. Neutrons are neutral-no charge. Protons-have a positive charge. Electrons-have a negative charge. Opposite charges attract each other and this is what keeps the electrons…
