Describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of extremely high density and high temperature.Offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of observed phenomena
_______Â means star
Formation of elements in the center of the star by nuclear reactions. Process by which elements are formed in the cores and shells of the stars through nuclear fusion reactions
suggests that stars form due to the collapse of the dense regions of an atomic cloud
Evolution of Stars
Evolution of Stars
stellar core that forms when cloud collapses and the fragments contract
Evolution of Stars
– protostar contracts and its temperature increases due to gravity; when gravitationalequilibrium is reached due to the release of positrons and neutrinos; contractions stop and main sequence staris formed
Evolution of Stars
Hydrogen is fused to helium in the core of main sequence star; pressure in the core decreases. Gravity squeezes the star to a point where helium and hydrogen burning occurs.Helium is converted to carbon in the core Hydrogen is changed to helium in the shell
Evolution of Stars
when most of helium in the core is carbon; rate of fusion decreases resulting in the squeezing ofstars. Star is depleted of its fuel. Over time, the outer material of the star is blown off into spaceOnly the hot inert carbon core will remainNo carbon fusion occurs here due to lack of mass
Evolution of Stars
carbon fusion occurs in massive stars where they have enough mass and there is anincrease in temperature and pressure
Star can fuse heavier elements in the core and in the shell around it.
ď‚§ Oxygen from carbon fusion; ________________________
Star can fuse heavier elements in the core and in the shell around it
Magnesium from__________
Star can fuse heavier elements in the core and in the shell around it.
silicon from___________
Star can fuse heavier elements in the core and in the shell around it
iron from ________
Evolution of Stars
cores of red giant stars start to collapse when it can no longer produce enough pressure to resistgravityThis will lead to its explosion; releasing a large amount of energy and produces other elements heavier thaniron.
________ required high temperature and pressure
Cores of stars have very ______temperature and pressure
____________ burning in the core of stars produces energy in the stars
Same element (same number of proton)
Different number of neutrons- Have different atomic weight BUT same reactivity
involves changing atomic number of an element
- requires nuclear reactions with massive amounts of energy
- transformation of one element into another by a series of nuclear reactions
- elements are bombarded by protons and neutrons into it
also known as transuranic elements
- chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than 92
- produced by bombarding heavy atomic nucleus with smaller ionized particles via particle accelerator
– the way atoms bond with one another
one of the atoms in a bond has a stronger attractive force on the electrons in the link- electrons are pulled more towards that atom, resulting in small charge imbalance
determines polarity of a bond- expression of an atom’s tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond- differences in electronegativities of atoms determine polarity
between 0.4 to 1.7
Greater than 1.7
Less than 0.4
electrons will be taken from the less electronegative element and spend their time orbiting themore electronegative element
is formed by bonded pair of atoms
Atom with higher EN becomes partial __________________ pole
Atom with lower EN becomes partial____________ pole

Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
temperature at which the vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure of liquid substances areequal
Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
– temperature at which solid becomes liquid; solid and liquid phases exist in equilibrium
Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
energy needed to increase the surface area by a unity amount
Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
resistance of the liquid to flow
Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
– pressure exerted by a substance in its gaseous state
Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds
rate at which a substance vaporizes; changes from liquid to gas)
Intermolecular Forces
Types of Intermolecular Forces
Force of attraction between charged particles and a polar molecule- Partially negative end of polar molecule will be attracted to the Cation (positively charged ion)- Partially positive end of polar molecule will be attracted to the Anion (negatively charged ion)
Types of Intermolecular Forces
Force of attraction in polar molecules like HCl- Dipole – unequal sharing of electrons between Hydrogen and Chlorine atoms in HCl- Molecules with permanent dipoles attract each other in dipole-dipole interaction- Positive end of one molecule attracts the negative end of other molecule- Results in partially positive pole in H and partially negative pole in Cl
Types of Intermolecular Forces
Link that exists between water molecules- Type of dipole-dipole interaction between the polar molecule Hydrogen and the highly electronegativeelements Flourine, Oxygen, and Nitrogen- The extremely electronegative elements cause hydrogen to become strongly positive in Hydrogen bond
Types of Intermolecular Forces
Can be found in all molecules- Weakest intermolecular force created by nonpolar molecule’s transient dipoles- As the molecular weight of the substance increases, so does the strength of the dispersion forces.
For reactions to occur, molecules, atoms, or ions must first collide; bump or touch each other with great force- Not all collisions are successful- Established how chemical reactions initiate change
minimum amount of energy for a chemical reaction to occur
– speed of certain chemical reactions
Rate of chemical reaction is directly proportional to the reactants’ concentration- Higher concentration of reactants = faster rate of reaction- Increasing reactant concentration ensures there will be more collisions and probability rate of effectivecollisions
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecule- Increased temperature of reactants = increase kinetic energy- Increasing temperature of reactants = increase number of collisions; providing energy to overcomeactivation energy
Exposed area of a substance- Increasing surface area = more particles are available for collision- Greater surface area = faster chemical reaction
Substances that increase reaction rate without being consumed in the chemical reaction- Allows reactions to occur with lower activation energy- Provides alternative reaction pathway; leading to higher rates of chemical reaction- Do not affect composition of the equilibrium; only affect the rate at which equilibrium is reached- Called “enzymes” in the body
reactant that is used up in the chemical reaction
reactant that is not used up in the chemical reaction
– amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction
