Table of Contents in Inorganic and Applied Chemistry By Peter Dybdahl Hede

Preface  

Chemistry is a fundamental science that helps us understand the world at an atomic and molecular level. This book is designed to provide a clear and structured approach to key chemistry concepts, making them accessible to students and professionals alike. By breaking down complex ideas into manageable sections, we aim to enhance comprehension and retention. Each chapter is structured to build upon the previous one, ensuring a logical progression of knowledge. At the end of every chapter, a summary section consolidates key takeaways for quick revision.  

Chapter 1: Atoms  

Atoms are the building blocks of all matter, forming the foundation of chemistry. Understanding their structure and properties is crucial for grasping more advanced concepts.  

– atomic nucleus, electrons, and orbitals: The atomic nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit the nucleus in defined energy levels. The arrangement of electrons in orbitals influences chemical behavior.  

– construction of the periodic table: The periodic table is a systematic arrangement of elements based on atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. It helps predict element behavior and trends such as electronegativity, ionization energy, and atomic radius.  

– summing up on chapter 1: This section recaps atomic theory, electron arrangements, and periodic trends, reinforcing the fundamental principles of atomic structure.  

Chapter 2: Chemical Compounds  

Chemical compounds consist of atoms held together by various types of chemical bonds. The nature of these bonds determines the properties of substances.  

– bonds and forces: Chemical bonding arises from electrostatic attractions between atoms, leading to the formation of stable compounds.  

– covalent bonds: These bonds result from the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, forming molecules with defined shapes and properties.  

– metallic bonds: Found in metals, these bonds involve a “sea of electrons” that allows for conductivity and malleability.  

– ionic bonds: Ionic bonding occurs between oppositely charged ions, leading to the formation of crystalline solids with high melting points.  

– summing up on chapter 2: A review of bonding types, intermolecular forces, and their impact on material properties.  

Chapter 3: Reaction Kinetics  

The study of chemical reactions involves understanding the factors that affect reaction rates and mechanisms.  

– the chemical reaction: A process in which reactants are transformed into products through the breaking and forming of bonds.  

– rate of reaction: The speed at which a reaction occurs, influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration, and catalysts.  

– rate expressions: Mathematical equations that describe how reactant concentrations change over time.  

– chemical kinetics and catalysts: Catalysts speed up reactions without being consumed, playing a crucial role in industrial and biological processes.  

– kinetics of radioactive decay: The study of the rates at which unstable nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation.  

– summing up on chapter 3: A recap of reaction rate factors, rate laws, and the role of catalysts in chemical processes.  

Chapter 4: Equilibrium  

Chemical equilibrium describes the state in which reactant and product concentrations remain constant over time.  

– solubility equilibrium and solubility product: The equilibrium between dissolved ions and undissolved solids in a saturated solution.  

– precipitation: The formation of a solid in a solution due to changes in solubility conditions.  

– summing up on chapter 4: A review of equilibrium principles, solubility, and the factors affecting dynamic chemical systems.  

Chapter 5: Acids and Bases  

Acid-base chemistry is essential in many chemical reactions, including biological and industrial processes.  

– about acids and bases: Acids release protons (H⁺), while bases accept them. Their strength depends on ionization levels.  

– pH calculations: The pH scale measures acidity or alkalinity, with calculations based on hydrogen ion concentration.  

– polyprotic acids: Acids that donate more than one proton per molecule, such as sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).  

– acid properties of salts: Some salts affect pH due to hydrolysis reactions.  

– ion effects on pH: The presence of different ions can shift pH values in solutions.  

– buffers: Solutions that resist changes in pH, essential in biological and industrial systems.  

– titrations and pH curves: Techniques used to determine unknown concentrations by neutralization reactions.  

– summing up on chapter 5: A review of acid-base concepts, buffer systems, and their applications.  

Chapter 6: Electrochemistry  

Electrochemistry explores the relationship between electricity and chemical reactions, particularly in redox processes.  

– oxidation and reduction: The loss and gain of electrons, fundamental to many chemical and biological reactions.  

– galvanic cells: Electrochemical cells that generate electricity through spontaneous redox reactions.  

– standard reduction potentials: The tendency of substances to gain electrons, influencing redox reactions.  

– concentration dependency of cell potentials: The Nernst equation describes how cell voltage changes with ion concentration.  

– batteries: Devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions.  

– corrosion: The gradual degradation of metals due to redox reactions with environmental factors.  

– electrolysis: The process of driving non-spontaneous chemical reactions using an external electric current.  

– summing up on chapter 6: A recap of redox reactions, electrochemical cells, and practical applications like batteries and electroplating.  

Concluding Remarks  

This book provides a structured approach to chemistry, guiding learners through fundamental concepts and their practical applications. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, reinforcing key principles and helping students develop a deep understanding of chemical processes. Whether used for academic study or professional reference, this book serves as a valuable resource for mastering the essentials of chemistry.
