Year 12 CIE 化学为物理化学、无机化学与有机化学打下基础，是每位 AS 与 A Level 考生必须掌握的内容。本指南系统梳理从化学计量、化学键到有机反应机理与应试技巧的核心知识点，采用中英双语讲解，帮助你在课堂学习与自主复习中双向强化理解。
1. Stoichiometry and the Mole Concept | 化学计量学与摩尔概念
e contains exactly 6.02214076 × 10²³ elementary entities, known as the Avogadro constant. All mole calculations in Paper 1, 2 and 3 depend on this single definition.
化学计量学是对化学反应中反应物与产物进行定量研究的学科。摩尔是物质的量的国际单位，1 摩尔恰好包含 6.02214076 × 10²³ 个基本单元，即阿伏伽德罗常数。Paper 1、Paper 2 与 Paper 3 中所有摩尔计算都建立在这一条定义之上。
The three relationships you must recall instantly are mass, concentration and gas volume. For gases measured at room temperature and pressure (298 K and 101 kPa), the molar volume is 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹, so volume is simply moles multiplied by 24.0.
必须条件反射般写出的三个关系式分别对应质量、浓度与气体体积。在室温常压（298 K 与 101 kPa）下测定气体时，摩尔体积为 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹，因此体积等于摩尔数乘以 24.0。
n = m ÷ M c = n ÷ V V(gas at RTP) = n × 24.0 dm³ mol⁻¹
- Balance the equation first, then convert every quantity into moles, and only convert back to mass or volume at the end.
先配平方程式，再把所有已知量换算成摩尔数，最后一步才换回质量或体积。 - Identify the limiting reagent by comparing mole ratios, not by comparing masses.
判断限量试剂要比较摩尔比，而不是直接比较质量。 - he ideal gas equation pV = nRT when conditions differ from RTP, with R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.
当条件不是室温常压时，使用理想气体方程 pV = nRT，其中 R = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹。
2. Atomic Structure and Ionisation Energy | 原子结构与电离能
Atoms consist of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, surrounded by electrons in shells and subshells. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, and their relative abundance can be measured with a mass spectrometer, giving the relative atomic mass as a weighted average.
原子由原子核中的质子与中子以及核外按能层、能级排布的电子构成。同位素是同一元素中中子数不同的原子，其相对丰度可用质谱仪测定，据此可算出相对原子质量，即各同位素质量的加权平均值。
Electron configuration follows the order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹, with the 4s subshell filling before 3d. Hund's rule states that orbitals of equal energy are singly occupied before pairing begins, which explains the stability of half-filled subshells such as 3d⁵ and 3p³.
电子排布遵循 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹ 的顺序，4s 能级先于 3d 填充。洪特规则指出，能量相同的轨道先各占一个电子再成对，这解释了 3d⁵ 与 3p³ 等半充满结构的稳定性。
First ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions. It increases across a period because nuclear charge rises while shielding stays roughly constant, and decreases down a group because the outer electron is further from the nucleus and more shielded.
第一电离能是指从 1 摩尔气态原子中移去 1 摩尔电子，生成 1 摩尔气态 1+ 离子所需的能量。同周期从左到右，核电荷增加而屏蔽效应基本不变，电离能增大；同主族自上而下，外层电子离核更远、屏蔽更强，电离能减小。
- Small dips in the trend occur at Group 3 (3p electron is higher in energy) and Group 6 (electron pairing repulsion).
趋势中的小幅下降出现在第 3 族（3p 电子能量更高）与第 6 族（电子成对排斥）。 - Successive ionisation energies show large jumps when a new shell is broken into.
逐级电离能会在开始破坏新能层时出现大幅跃升。
3. Chemical Bonding, Structure and Properties | 化学键、结构与性质
Ionic bonding involves electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, covalent bonding involves a shared pair of electrons, and metallic bonding involves attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons. Electronegativity difference determines whether a covalent bond is polar or non-polar.
离子键是带相反电荷的离子之间的静电吸引，共价键是共用电子对，金属键是正离子与离域电子之间的吸引。电负性差值决定共价键是极性键还是非极性键。
Molecular shape is predicted by electron pair repulsion theory: electron pairs repel and arrange themselves as far apart as possible. Lone pairs repel more strongly than bonding pairs, which is why the bond angle in ammonia (107°) is smaller than in methane (109.5°), and water is smaller still (104.5°).
分子形状可用电子对互斥理论预测：电子对相互排斥并尽可能远离。孤对电子的排斥力大于成键电子对，因此氨的键角（107°）小于甲烷（109.5°），水更小（104.5°）。
| Molecule | Shape | Bond angle |
| CH₄ | Tetrahedral | 109.5° |
| NH₃ | Trigonal pyramidal | 107° |
| H₂O | Bent (V-shaped) | 104.5° |
| CO₂ | Linear | 180° |
| BF₃ | Trigonal planar | 120° |
Intermolecular forces determine physical properties. Induced dipole-dipole (van der Waals) forces increase with the number of electrons; permanent dipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules; hydrogen bonds require H attached to N, O or F and explain the anomalously high boiling point of water.
分子间作用力决定物理性质。诱导偶极（范德华力）随电子数增多而增强；永久偶极作用力存在于极性分子之间；氢键需要与 N、O 或 F 相连的 H，它解释了水异常高的沸点。
4. Energetics: Enthalpy Changes and Hess's Law | 热化学：焓变与盖斯定律
An enthalpy change ΔH is the heat energy transferred at constant pressure. Exothermic reactions release heat and have negative ΔH; endothermic reactions absorb heat and have positive ΔH. Standard conditions are 298 K, 100 kPa and all substances in their standard states.
焓变 ΔH 是在恒压下传递的热能。放热反应放出热量，ΔH 为负；吸热反应吸收热量，ΔH 为正。标准条件是 298 K、100 kPa，且所有物质处于标准状态。
The three enthalpy changes you must know precisely are standard enthalpy of formation (one mole of compound formed from its elements), standard enthalpy of combustion (one mole of substance burned completely in oxygen) and standard enthalpy of neutralisation (one mole of water formed from acid-base reaction).
必须精确掌握的三种焓变是：标准生成焓（由元素生成 1 摩尔化合物）、标准燃烧焓（1 摩尔物质在氧气中完全燃烧）以及标准中和焓（酸碱反应生成 1 摩尔水）。
q = m × c × ΔT ΔH = −q ÷ n
⁻¹ for water), then divide by the number of moles to obtain enthalpy change per mole. Hess' ange of a reaction is independent of the route taken, allowing you to build energy cycles.
在量热实验中，先测量已知质量水的温度变化，用 q = mcΔT 计算放出的热量（水的 c = 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹），再除以摩尔数得到每摩尔的焓变。盖斯定律指出反应焓变与反应路径无关，据此可构建能量循环。
- Draw formation cycles (elements at the bottom) and combustion cycles (products at the bottom) carefully.
画生成焓循环（元素在底部）与燃烧焓循环（产物在底部）时务必仔细。 - Watch the direction of arrows and the sign of each term.
注意箭头方向以及每一项的正负号。
5. Kinetics: Rates of Reaction | 反应动力学
Collision theory states that particles must collide with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy, and with the correct orientation, for a reaction to occur. Activation energy Ea is the minimum energy needed to break the bonds in the reactants and form the transition state.
碰撞理论指出，粒子必须以大于或等于活化能的能量、并且以正确的取向碰撞才能发生反应。活化能 Ea 是断裂反应物中的化学键并形成过渡态所需的最低能量。
The rate of reaction increases with higher concentration or pressure (more frequent collisions), higher temperature (more frequent and more energetic collisions), larger surface area of solids, and the presence of a catalyst. A catalyst provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy.
提高浓度或压力（碰撞更频繁）、升高温度（碰撞更频繁且能量更高）、增大固体表面积以及加入催化剂，都会加快反应速率。催化剂提供了一条活化能更低的替代路径。
The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution shows the spread of molecular energies at a given temperature. Raising the temperature shifts the curve to the right and flattens it, so a much larger fraction of molecules exceeds the activation energy; this explains why a 10 K rise roughly doubles the rate.
麦克斯韦-玻尔兹曼分布展示了一定温度下分子能量的分布。升高温度使曲线右移并变平，超过活化能的分子比例显著增大，这解释了温度升高 10 K 反应速率约翻倍的现象。
- The area under the curve remains constant when temperature changes.
温度变化时，曲线下的总面积保持不变。 - Adding a catalyst reduces Ea but does not change the shape of the distribution.
加入催化剂降低 Ea，但不改变分布曲线的形状。
6. Chemical Equilibrium | 化学平衡
Many reactions are reversible and are written with the symbol ⇌. Dynamic equilibrium is reached in a closed system when the forward and reverse rates are equal, so concentrations remain constant while both reactions continue to occur.
许多反应是可逆的，用符号 ⇌ 表示。在封闭体系中，当正、逆反应速率相等时达到动态平衡，此时两者仍在进行，但各物质浓度保持不变。
Kc = [C]ᶜ [D]ᵈ ÷ ([A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ)
The equilibrium constant Kc is calculated from equilibrium concentrations, and its value depends only on temperature. A large Kc means the position of equilibrium lies to the right, favouring products.
平衡常数 Kc 由平衡浓度计算得出，其数值只随温度改变。Kc 很大表示平衡位置偏右，有利于生成产物。
Le Chatelier's principle predicts how a system responds to change: it shifts in the direction that opposes the change. Increasing concentration of a reactant, increasing pressure on a gaseous system with fewer moles on the right, or decreasing temperature for an exothermic reaction all shift equilibrium towards the products.
勒夏特列原理预测体系对改变的响应方向：平衡向抵消该改变的方向移动。增大反应物浓度、对右侧气体摩尔数更少的体系加压，或对放热反应降温，都会使平衡向生成产物方向移动。
Industrial processes balance yield against rate and cost. In the Haber process for ammonia (N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, ΔH negative), a compromise of about 450 °C and 200 atm with an iron catalyst gives an acceptable rate and yield.
工业生产需在产率、速率与成本之间折中。哈伯法制氨（N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃，ΔH 为负）采用约 450 °C、200 atm 并以铁作催化剂，从而兼顾可接受的速率与产率。
7. Acids, Bases and Redox | 酸碱与氧化还原
A Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor. A strong acid dissociates completely in water, whereas a weak acid dissociates only partially and establishes an equilibrium with its conjugate base.
布朗斯特-劳里酸是质子的给予体，碱是质子的接受体。强酸在水中完全电离，弱酸仅部分电离，并与它的共轭碱建立平衡。
pH = −log₁₀[H⁺] Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] ÷ [HA]
For a strong monoprotic acid, [H⁺] equals the acid concentration, so a 0.010 mol dm⁻³ solution has pH 2.0. For weak acids a Ka value is needed to calculate [H⁺]. In titration, the equivalence point is where the acid and base have reacted in exactly the mole ratio from the equation.
对于强一元酸，[H⁺] 等于酸的浓度，因此 0.010 mol dm⁻³ 的溶液 pH 为 2.0。对于弱酸，需借助 Ka 计算 [H⁺]。在滴定中，等当点是酸与碱刚好按方程式的摩尔比完全反应的位置。
Redox reactions involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction. Oxidation is loss of electrons, increase in oxidation number, or gain of oxygen; reduction is the opposite. An oxidising agent accepts electrons and is itself reduced, while a reducing agent donates electrons and is itself oxidised.
氧化还原反应中氧化与还原同时发生。氧化是失去电子、氧化数升高或得氧；还原则相反。氧化剂接受电子而自身被还原，还原剂给出电子而自身被氧化。
- Oxidation numbers: free elements 0; simple ions equal to charge; oxygen usually −2; hydrogen usually +1.
氧化数规则：单质为 0；简单离子等于所带电荷；氧通常为 −2；氢通常为 +1。 - Balance redox equations by the half-equation method, checking both atoms and charge.
用半反应法配平氧化还原方程式，同时检查原子与电荷守恒。
8. Periodicity, Group 2 and Group 17 | 周期性、第 2 族与第 17 族
Periodicity is the repeating pattern of properties across periods and down groups. Across Period 3 from sodium to argon, atomic radius decreases, ionisation energy generally increases, and the character of the oxides changes from basic through amphoteric to acidic.
周期性是指元素性质随周期与族呈现的重复规律。在第 3 周期从钠到氩，原子半径减小，电离能总体增大，氧化物的性质由碱性经两性变为酸性。
Group 2 metals become more reactive down the group because ionisation energy falls. Their hydroxides become more soluble and more alkaline, while their sulfates become less soluble, which is why barium sulfate is used as a medical X-ray contrast agent and magnesium sulfate as a laxative.
第 2 族金属自上而下电离能降低，反应性增强。其氢氧化物溶解度与碱性增强，而硫酸盐溶解度降低，因此硫酸钡用作医学 X 射线造影剂，硫酸镁用作泻盐。
Group 17 halogens decrease in reactivity and oxidising power down the group, and their melting and boiling points increase because of stronger induced dipole-dipole forces between larger molecules. A chlorine solution can displace bromine and iodine from their salts, confirming the order of reactivity.
第 17 族卤素自上而下反应性与氧化能力减弱，熔沸点升高，因为分子体积增大使诱导偶极作用力增强。氯水能把溴和碘从其盐溶液中置换出来，验证了这一反应性顺序。
- Displacement reactions: Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂.
置换反应示例：Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂。 - Thermal stability of hydrogen halides decreases from HF to HI.
卤化氢的热稳定性从 HF 到 HI 依次降低。
9. Introduction to Organic Chemistry and Isomerism | 有机化学导论与同分异构
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. A homologous series is a family of compounds with the same general formula and functional group, in which each member differs by CH₂ and shows a gradual trend in physical properties.
有机化学是研究含碳化合物的学科。同系列是通式与官能团相同的一族化合物，相邻成员相差一个 CH₂，物理性质呈渐变规律。
You must be able to translate between empirical, molecular, structural and displayed formulae, and to name compounds with IUPAC rules, choosing the longest carbon chain and the lowest possible locants for the functional group.
你必须能在实验式、分子式、结构式与展开式之间相互转换，并能按 IUPAC 规则命名化合物：选择最长碳链，并给官能团最小编号。
ctional group isomers), while stereoisomers differ only in spatial arrangement, including E/Z isomers about a C=C bond and optical isomers with a chiral centre.
同分异构体分子式相同但原子排列不同。结构异构体的连接方式不同（碳链异构、位置异构、官能团异构）；立体异构体只在空间排列上不同，包括绕 C=C 的 E/Z 异构以及含手性中心的旋光异构。
- E/Z isomerism requires restricted rotation and two different groups on each carbon of the double bond.
E/Z 异构需要双键旋转受限，且双键每个碳上连有两个不同基团。 - A chiral centre is a carbon bonded to four different groups.
手性中心是连接四个不同基团的碳原子。
10. Alkanes, Alkenes and Crude Oil | 烷烃、烯烃与石油
Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation, then heavier fractions are cracked to produce shorter, more useful alkanes and alkenes. Reforming converts straight-chain alkanes into branched and cyclic hydrocarbons with higher octane numbers.
石油通过分馏分离，较重的馏分再经裂化得到更短、更有用的烷烃与烯烃。重整把直链烷烃转化为支链与环状烃，以提高辛烷值。
n the presence of ultraviolet light. The mechanism has three stages: initiation (Cl₂ → 2Cl•), propagation (Cl• + CH₄ → CH₃• + HCl) and termination (two radicals combine).
烷烃是饱和烃，相对不活泼，但在紫外光存在下与卤素发生自由基取代反应。机理分三步：引发（Cl₂ → 2Cl•）、增长（Cl• + CH₄ → CH₃• + HCl）和终止（两个自由基结合）。
are unsaturated. They undergo electrophilic addition with hydrogen (Ni catalyst), bromine water (the test for unsaturation), hydrogen halides and steam. Addition polymerisation of alkenes produces plastics such as poly(ethene) and poly(propene).
烯烃含 C=C 双键，属于不饱和烃。它们可与氢气（镍催化）、溴水（检验不饱和键）、卤化氢和水蒸气发生亲电加成。烯烃的加聚反应可制得聚乙烯、聚丙烯等塑料。
- Complete combustion gives CO₂ and H₂O; incomplete combustion gives CO and soot.
完全燃烧生成 CO₂ 和 H₂O；不完全燃烧生成 CO 和碳烟。 - Bromine water decolourises from orange to colourless with an alkene, but not with an alkane.
烯烃使溴水由橙色褪至无色，烷烃则不能。
11. Halogenoalkanes, Alcohols and Mechanisms | 卤代烃、醇与反应机理
Bond fission can be homolytic, giving two radicals, or heterolytic, giving a cation and an anion. Curly arrows show the movement of an electron pair from a lone pair or bond to an atom or new bond, and correct arrow drawing is a common source of lost marks.
共价键断裂可分为均裂（生成两个自由基）与异裂（生成正、负离子）。弯箭头表示电子对从孤对电子或成键电子对迁移到某个原子或新键上，箭头画错是常见的失分点。
Halogenoalkanes undergo nucleophilic substitution with NaOH(aq) to give alcohols, with KCN to give nitriles (extending the chain by one carbon), and with NH₃ to give amines. They also undergo elimination with NaOH in ethanol to form alkenes. Primary halogenoalkanes favour the SN2 mechanism, tertiary ones favour SN1.
卤代烃与 NaOH(aq) 发生亲核取代生成醇，与 KCN 反应生成腈（碳链增加一个碳），与 NH₃ 反应生成胺。在乙醇中用 NaOH
