1. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构与元素周期表
Atoms contain a tiny central nucleus made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons moving in energy levels (shells). The atomic number tells you the number of protons, which defines the element. The mass number is the total of protons plus neutrons. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
原子含有一个微小的中央原子核（由质子和中子构成），核外电子在能级（电子层）中运动。原子序数表示质子数，决定了元素种类。质量数是质子与中子数之和。在电中性原子中，电子数等于质子数。同位素是质子数相同而中子数不同的同种元素的原子。
Electrons occupy shells in the pattern 2,8,8 up to calcium. The outer-shell electrons are called valence electrons and determine chemical properties. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons, which is why they react in similar ways. The table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number and splits into metals on the left, non-metals on the right, with transition metals in the centre. Group 1 contains the alkali metals, Group 7 the halogens, and Group 0 the noble gases.
电子按 2,8,8 的规律填充电子层，直至钙元素。最外层电子称为价电子，决定了化学性质。周期表中同一族的元素具有相同的价电子数，因此化学行为相似。周期表按原子序数递增排列，左边为金属，右边为非金属，中间为过渡金属。第 1 族是碱金属，第 7 族是卤素，第 0 族是稀有气体。
2. Chemical Bonding and Structure | 化学键与结构
Ionic bonding occurs when electrons are transferred from a metal atom to a non-metal atom, producing positive and negative ions held together by strong electrostatic attraction. Giant ionic lattices have high melting points and conduct electricity when molten or dissolved because the ions are free to move. Covalent bonding forms when atoms share pairs of electrons, creating molecules or giant covalent structures. Simple molecular substances like O₂ or H₂O have low boiling points, whereas giant covalent structures such as diamond and silicon dioxide are very hard and have extremely high melting points.
离子键形成于金属原子将电子转移给非金属原子时，产生正负离子并通过强静电引力结合。巨型离子晶格具有高熔点，在熔融或溶于水时可导电，因为离子可以自由移动。共价键由原子间共用电子对形成，可构成分子或巨型共价结构。简单分子物质（如 O₂ 或 H₂O）沸点较低，而金刚石和二氧化硅等巨型共价结构极其坚硬且熔点极高。
Metallic bonding involves a lattice of positive metal ions surrounded by a 'sea' of delocalised electrons. This explains why metals are malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Alloys are mixtures of metals with other elements; their irregular atom sizes disrupt the regular layer sliding, making alloys harder than pure metals.
金属键涉及一个由正金属离子组成的晶格，周围被离域电子的 '海' 包围。这解释了金属为何具有延展性、可塑性且是热的电导体。合金是金属与其他元素的混合物；不同大小的原子打乱了规则的层间滑动，使合金比纯金属更硬。
3. Formulas, Equations and Calculations | 化学式、方程式与计算
lative formula mass (Mᵣ) is the sum of the relative atomic masses (Aᵣ) of all atoms in a formula unit. The mole (mol) is the unit for amount of substance; 1 mol of a substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles. The formula that links mass, moles and molar mass is:
书写配平的符号方程式，确保两边每种原子的总数相等。使用状态符号 (s)、(l)、(g) 和 (aq)。相对化学式质量 (Mᵣ) 是化学式中所有原子相对原子质量 (Aᵣ) 的总和。摩尔 (mol) 是物质的量的单位；1 mol 物质含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个微粒。质量、摩尔数和摩尔质量之间的关系式为：
mass (g) = moles × molar mass (g mol⁻¹)
质量 (g) = 摩尔数 × 摩尔质量 (g mol⁻¹)
You can use reacting mass calculations to work out the masses of products formed or reactants needed. For gases, at room temperature and pressure (RTP), 1 mol of any gas occupies 24 dm³. This lets you convert between volume and moles. Percentage yield and atom economy are used to evaluate how efficient a reaction is.
你可以利用反应质量计算求出生成物的质量或所需反应物的质量。对于气体，在室温和常压下，1 mol 任何气体占据 24 dm³。借此可在体积和摩尔数之间换算。产率和原子经济性用于评价反应的效率。
4. Acids, Bases and Salts | 酸、碱和盐
Acids produce H⁺ ions in aqueous solution. Strong acids (e.g. HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃) fully ionise, while weak acids (e.g. ethanoic acid) partially ionise. Bases neutralise acids to form a salt and water; alkalis are soluble bases that produce OH⁻ ions. The pH scale runs from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly alkaline), with 7 neutral. Universal indicator gives different colours across the spectrum.
酸在水溶液中产生 H⁺ 离子。强酸（如 HCl、H₂SO₄、HNO₃）完全电离，而弱酸（如乙酸）仅部分电离。碱中和酸生成盐和水；可溶性碱产生 OH⁻ 离子，称为碱性溶液。pH 标度从 0（强酸性）到 14（强碱性），7 为中性。通用指示剂在不同 pH 下呈现不同颜色。
acid + base → salt + water
酸 + 碱 → 盐 + 水
Salts can be prepared by several methods: adding an excess of solid base/metal/carbonate to an acid, followed by filtration and crystallisation; or by titration using a soluble base and an indicator, then repeating without the indicator. Solubility rules help predict whether a precipitate forms when two solutions are mixed.
盐可通过多种方法制备：将过量固体碱/金属/碳酸盐加入酸中，然后过滤、蒸发结晶；或使用可溶性碱和指示剂通过滴定，再在无指示剂条件下重复。溶解度规则有助于预测两种溶液混合时是否生成沉淀。
5. Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes | 反应速率与能量变化
The rate of a chemical reaction measures how quickly reactants are used up or products are formed. It can be increased by raising temperature, increasing concentration (or pressure for gases), increasing surface area of solids, or adding a catalyst. Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, without being used up themselves.
化学反应速率衡量反应物消耗或产物生成的快慢。提高温度、增加浓度（或气体压强）、增大固体表面积或加入催化剂均可加快反应速率。催化剂通过提供活化能较低的反应途径起作用，自身在反应中不被消耗。
Reactions either release heat to the surroundings (exothermic) or absorb heat (endothermic). Exothermic reactions include combustion and neutralisation; the temperature of the surroundings rises. Endothermic reactions, such as thermal decomposition, cause the surroundings to cool. Reaction profile diagrams show the energy changes, with the difference between the energy of reactants and products equal to the enthalpy change (ΔH). Bond breaking is endothermic, bond making is exothermic.
反应或向环境放热（放热反应）或吸热（吸热反应）。燃烧和中和反应是放热反应，环境温度升高。热分解等吸热反应使环境变冷。反应进程图展示能量变化，反应物与生成物的能量差即为焓变 (ΔH)。断键吸热，成键放热。
6. Electrolysis | 电解
Electrolysis uses direct current to drive a non-spontaneous reaction. The electrolyte is an ionic compound that is either molten or dissolved in water so the ions are mobile. The positive anode attracts anions (negative ions), where oxidation happens; the negative cathode attracts cations (positive ions), where reduction takes place.
电解利用直流电驱动非自发反应。电解质是熔融态或溶于水中的离子化合物，以使离子自由移动。正极（阳极）吸引阴离子（负离子），发生氧化反应；负极（阴极）吸引阳离子（正离子），发生还原反应。
In molten lead(II) bromide, Pb²⁺ ions are reduced to liquid lead at the cathode, and Br⁻ ions are oxidised to bromine gas at the anode. For aqueous solutions, the product at each electrode depends on the relative reactivity of the ions and the concentration. At the cathode, hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen; otherwise, the metal deposits. At the anode, oxygen is released from water unless a concentrated halide is present, in which case the halogen forms.
在熔融溴化铅(II)中，Pb²⁺ 离子在阴极被还原为液态铅，Br⁻ 离子在阳极被氧化为溴气。对于水溶液，各电极产物取决于离子的相对活性和浓度。在阴极，若金属比氢活泼，则产生氢气；否则金属析出。在阳极，水释放氧气，除非存在浓卤化物，此时生成卤素。
7. Organic Chemistry | 有机化学
Organic compounds are based on carbon chains. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. They are relatively unreactive but burn well as fuels and can react with halogens under UV light (substitution). Alkenes contain at least one C＝C double bond (unsaturated), with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ. They undergo addition reactions: hydrogenation (adds H₂), hydration (adds steam to form alcohols), and reaction with bromine water (orange to colourless), which serves as a test for unsaturation.
有机化合物以碳链为基础。烷烃是饱和烃，通式为 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂。它们相对不活泼，但可作为燃料良好燃烧，并在紫外光下与卤素发生取代反应。烯烃含有至少一个 C＝C 双键（不饱和），通式为 CₙH₂ₙ。它们发生加成反应：加氢（加 H₂）、水合（加水蒸气形成醇），以及与溴水反应（橙色变为无色），这可用于检验不饱和性。
Addition polymers such as poly(ethene) are made from many small alkene monomers joining together. The repeating unit shows the structure, and the polymer name is often placed in brackets. Alcohols contain the –OH functional group; ethanol can be produced by fermentation of sugars or by hydration of ethene. Carboxylic acids contain the –COOH group and react with alcohols to form esters, which have distinctive smells.
加聚物如聚（乙烯）由许多烯烃小单体聚合而成。重复单元显示其结构，聚合物名称通常放在括号内。醇含有 –OH 官能团；乙醇可由糖发酵或乙烯水合制得。羧酸含有 –COOH 基团，与醇反应生成具有特殊气味的酯。
8. Chemical Analysis | 化学分析
Pure substances have a fixed melting and boiling point, whereas impurities lower the melting point and raise the boiling point. Chromatography can separate mixtures of soluble substances; the Rf value compares how far a spot travels relative to the solvent front. Rf values are used to identify components.
纯物质具有固定的熔点和沸点，而杂质会降低熔点、提高沸点。色谱法可分离可溶性物质的混合物；Rf 值表示斑点移动距离相对于溶剂前沿的比值，可用于鉴别组分。
Qualitative tests for gases include: hydrogen produces a 'squeaky pop' with a lighted splint; oxygen relights a glowing splint; carbon dioxide turns limewater milky; chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper. Flame tests identify metal ions by characteristic colours: lithium crimson, sodium yellow, potassium lilac, calcium orange-red, copper green-blue. Cation tests with sodium hydroxide produce coloured precipitates or ammonia gas; anion tests involve specific reagents such as acidified silver nitrate for halides and acidified barium chloride for sulfates.
气体的定性检验包括：氢气遇燃烧的木条发出 '咝' 的爆鸣声；氧气使带火星的木条复燃；二氧化碳使石灰水变浑浊；氯气漂白湿润的石蕊试纸。焰色反应可通过特征颜色鉴别金属离子：锂深红色、钠黄色、钾淡紫色、钙橘红色、铜绿蓝色。阳离子检验使用氢氧化钠产生有色沉淀或氨气；阴离子检验使用特定试剂，如酸化硝酸银检验卤化物、酸化氯化钡检验硫酸根。
9. Air and Water | 空气与水
Dry air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide. The gases can be separated by fractional distillation of liquid air. Combustion of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, which contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect and climate change. Incomplete combustion generates carbon monoxide, a toxic gas. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fuels cause acid rain.
干燥空气约含 78% 氮气、21% 氧气、0.9% 氩气和 0.04% 二氧化碳。可通过液态空气的分馏将其分离。化石燃料燃烧产生二氧化碳，加剧温室效应与气候变化。不完全燃烧生成有毒的一氧化碳。燃料燃烧产生的二氧化硫和氮氧化物导致酸雨。
Water in rivers and reservoirs is treated to make it safe for drinking. The stages include sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination to kill microorganisms. Desalination by distillation or reverse osmosis can produce fresh water but is energy-intensive. Tests for water include using anhydrous copper(II) sulfate, which turns from white to blue, or checking boiling point.
河水和水库水需经处理才可安全饮用，步骤包括沉淀、过滤和加氯消毒以杀死微生物。通过蒸馏或反渗透的海水淡化可生产淡水，但能耗高。检验水的方法包括使用无水硫酸铜（由白色变为蓝色）或检测其沸点。
10. Metals and Reactivity | 金属与反应性
The reactivity series orders metals by how vigorously they react. Potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium and magnesium react with cold water; zinc and iron need steam; copper and silver do not react with water. Metals above hydrogen in the series react with acids to produce hydrogen gas and a salt. Reactions with oxygen produce metal oxides, and the rate of reaction increases with reactivity.
金属活动性顺序根据反应剧烈程度排列。钾、钠、锂、钙和镁与冷水反应；锌和铁需水蒸气；铜和银不与水反应。顺序中排在氢前的金属与酸反应生成氢气和盐。与氧气反应生成金属氧化物，反应速率随活动性增大而加快。
Unreactive metals such as gold are found native. Most metals are extracted from their ores by reduction with carbon (if below carbon in the series) or by electrolysis (for more reactive metals like aluminium). Alloys are designed to have improved properties; for example, steel is an alloy of iron with carbon and other elements, making it stronger and more resistant to corrosion than pure iron.
不活泼金属如金以单质形式存在。大多数金属从矿石中提取：排在碳之后的金属可用碳还原，更活泼的金属（如铝）需用电解法提取。合金旨在改善性能；例如，钢是铁与碳及其他元素的合金，比纯铁更坚固、更耐腐蚀。
