Table of Contents in Introductory Chemistry by Dr. David W. Ball

Chapter 1: Understanding Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. It explores the properties, composition, and behavior of substances, providing foundational knowledge for various scientific disciplines.

Chapter 2: Precision in Measurements

Accurate measurement is crucial in chemistry. This chapter covers the tools and techniques for quantifying chemical substances, including units of measurement, significant figures, and scientific notation, ensuring precision and consistency in experiments.

Chapter 3: Building Blocks of Matter: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

The fundamental components of matter are atoms, molecules, and ions. This chapter delves into atomic structure, the formation of molecules, and the role of ions in chemical processes, forming the basis for understanding chemical reactions.

Chapter 4: Chemical Reactions and Equations

Chemical reactions involve the transformation of reactants into products. This chapter explains how to write and balance chemical equations, classify different types of reactions, and understand the laws governing chemical changes.

Chapter 5: Mastering Stoichiometry and the Mole

Stoichiometry is the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. This chapter introduces the concept of the mole, Avogadro’s number, and how to perform stoichiometric calculations to predict the outcomes of reactions.

Chapter 6: Behavior of Gases

Gases exhibit unique behaviors described by gas laws. This chapter explores the properties of gases, including pressure, volume, and temperature relationships, and introduces the ideal gas law and kinetic molecular theory.

Chapter 7: Energy in Chemical Processes

Energy changes are central to chemical reactions. This chapter discusses the concepts of enthalpy, entropy, and free energy, examining how energy is absorbed or released in chemical processes and the principles of thermodynamics.

Chapter 8: Electronic Structure of Atoms

The arrangement of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties. This chapter covers quantum mechanics, electron configurations, and periodic trends, providing a deeper understanding of the elements’ behavior.

Chapter 9: Forming Chemical Bonds

Chemical bonds hold atoms together in compounds. This chapter explores ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding, including the concepts of bond polarity, electronegativity, and molecular geometry, to explain how and why atoms bond.

Chapter 10: Properties of Solids and Liquids

Solids and liquids have distinct physical properties. This chapter examines the structure and characteristics of different types of solids (crystalline and amorphous) and the behavior of liquids, including intermolecular forces and phase changes.

Chapter 11: Nature of Solutions

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances. This chapter discusses the processes of solvation, factors affecting solubility, concentration units, and the properties of solutions, such as colligative properties.

Chapter 12: Acids, Bases, and Their Reactions

Acids and bases are essential in many chemical reactions. This chapter explains the theories of acids and bases, the pH scale, and the strength of acids and bases. It also covers neutralization reactions and buffer solutions.

Chapter 13: Achieving Chemical Equilibrium

Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal. This chapter explores the dynamic nature of equilibrium, the equilibrium constant, Le Chatelier’s principle, and how changes in conditions affect equilibrium.

Chapter 14: Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction

Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between substances. This chapter details the principles of redox reactions, how to balance redox equations, and their applications in electrochemistry and everyday life.

Chapter 15: Exploring Nuclear Chemistry

Nuclear chemistry focuses on reactions involving atomic nuclei. This chapter covers radioactive decay, nuclear fission and fusion, applications of nuclear reactions, and the effects of radiation on matter and living organisms.

Chapter 16: The World of Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry studies carbon-containing compounds. This chapter introduces the structure, nomenclature, and reactions of organic molecules, including hydrocarbons, functional groups, and the importance of organic chemistry in pharmaceuticals and materials.

Chapter 17: Appendix: Periodic Table of the Elements

The periodic table is an essential tool for chemists. This appendix provides a comprehensive periodic table, highlighting the properties of elements and their relationships, serving as a quick reference for understanding chemical behavior.
