Unit 2: Molecular interactions and reactions Chemistry

In this unit, students develop their understanding of the physical and chemical properties of materials including gases, water and aqueous solutions, acids and bases. Students explore the characteristic properties of water that make it essential for physical, …

ACSCH028

Nanomaterials are substances that contain particles in the size range 1–100 nm and have specific properties relating to the size of these particles

ACSCH030

Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that are electrically charged due to an imbalance in the number of electrons and protons; ions are represented by formulae which include the number of constituent atoms and the charge of the ion (for example, O2–, SO …

ACSCH082

ICT and other technologies have dramatically increased the size, accuracy and geographic and temporal scope of data sets with which scientists work

ACSCH120

ICT and other technologies have dramatically increased the size, accuracy and geographic and temporal scope of data sets with which scientists work

ACSCH029

Chemical bonds are caused by electrostatic attractions that arise because of the sharing or transfer of electrons between participating atoms; the valency is a measure of the number of bonds that an atom can form

ACSCH097

Acids are substances that can act as proton (hydrogen ion) donors and can be classified as monoprotic or polyprotic depending on the number of protons donated by each molecule of the acid

ACSCH021

Isotopes are atoms of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons; different isotopes of elements are represented using atomic symbols (for example, \({}_6^{12}C\), \({}_6^{13}C\)

ACSCH039

A mole is a precisely defined quantity of matter equal to Avogadro’s number of particles; the mole concept and the Law of Conservation of Mass can be used to calculate the mass of reactants and products in a chemical reaction

ACSCH063

The concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute divided by the amount of solution; this can be represented in a variety of ways including by the number of moles of the solute per litre of solution (mol L-1) and the mass of the solute …

ACSCH046

Select and use appropriate mathematical representations to solve problems and make predictions, including using the mole concept to calculate the mass of chemicals and/or volume of a gas (at standard temperature and pressure) involved in a chemical reaction, …
