1. Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table | 原子结构与周期表
All matter is made of atoms, each consisting of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons carry a negative charge. The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons and defines the element, while the mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying numbers of neutrons.
所有物质都由原子组成，每个原子都有一个由质子和中子构成的原子核，核外电子分层排布。质子带正电荷，中子不带电，电子带负电荷。原子序数 (Z) 等于质子数，决定了元素的种类；质量数 (A) 是质子数与中子数之和。同位素是指质子数相同而中子数不同、因而质量数也不同的同种元素的原子。
Electrons are arranged in energy levels or shells around the nucleus. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second up to 8, and the third up to 8 for the first 20 elements (the 2.8.8 rule). The electronic configuration determines an element's chemical properties. The modern periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number. Vertical columns are called groups; elements in the same group have the same number of outer-shell electrons and thus similar reactions. Horizontal rows are periods; a new period starts when a new electron shell is filled.
电子在原子核外分层排布，第一层最多容纳 2 个电子，第二层最多 8 个，第三层在前 20 号元素中也是最多 8 个（2·8·8 规律）。电子排布决定元素的化学性质。现代周期表按原子序数递增的顺序排列元素。纵列称为族，同一族元素最外层电子数相同，因此化学性质相似。横排称为周期，每当电子层数增加，就开始一个新的周期。
Key features: Group 1 elements (alkali metals) are very reactive, have one outer electron, and form 1⁺ ions. Group 7 (halogens) have seven outer electrons and form 1⁻ ions. Group 0 (noble gases) have complete outer shells, making them unreactive.
要点：第 1 族（碱金属）非常活泼，最外层有 1 个电子，形成 1⁺ 离子。第 7 族（卤素）最外层有 7 个电子，形成 1⁻ 离子。第 0 族（稀有气体）最外层全满，化学性质稳定。
2. Chemical Bonding: Ionic and Covalent | 化学键：离子键与共价键
Atoms bond to achieve a full outer electron shell, becoming more stable. An ionic bond is the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. It forms when a metal atom transfers one or more electrons to a non-metal atom. The metal becomes a positive cation (e.g. Na⁺, Mg²⁺), and the non-metal becomes a negative anion (e.g. Cl⁻, O²⁻). Ionic compounds form giant lattices where ions are held together in a regular, repeating structure. They have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity only when molten or dissolved in water because the ions are free to move.
原子通过得失或共用电子使最外层达到饱和状态而变得更稳定。离子键是带相反电荷的离子之间的强静电引力。金属原子把电子转移给非金属原子，金属变成阳离子（如 Na⁺、Mg²⁺），非金属变成阴离子（如 Cl⁻、O²⁻）。离子化合物形成巨型离子晶格，离子有规律地排列。它们具有高熔点和高沸点，只有在熔融态或水溶液中才能导电，因为此时离子可以自由移动。
A covalent bond involves the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between non-metal atoms. Molecules such as hydrogen (H₂), water (H₂O), methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are held together by covalent bonds. Simple molecular substances have low melting and boiling points because the forces between molecules (intermolecular forces) are weak, even though the atoms within each molecule are held by strong covalent bonds. They do not conduct electricity. In contrast, giant covalent structures like diamond and silicon dioxide have very high melting points because covalent bonds extend throughout the whole structure.
共价键是非金属原子之间通过共用电子对而形成的。氢气 (H₂)、水 (H₂O)、甲烷 (CH₄) 和二氧化碳 (CO₂) 等分子都由共价键构成。简单分子物质熔沸点都较低，因为分子间的作用力很弱，但分子内的共价键却很强。它们不导电。而像金刚石和二氧化硅这样的巨型共价结构则具有极高的熔点，因为整个结构由共价键连接而成。
3. Chemical Formulae and Equations | 化学式与化学方程式
A chemical formula shows the types and numbers of atoms in a substance. The subscript number multiplies the atom directly before it. For example, H₂O means two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule. For ionic compounds, the formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of ions, such as NaCl (1:1) or MgCl₂ (1:2). Brackets are used when a group of atoms appears more than once, e.g. Ca(OH)₂ contains two OH groups.
化学式表示物质中原子的种类和数目。下标数字乘以前一个原子符号。例如 H₂O 表示每个水分子中共有 2 个氢原子和 1 个氧原子。对于离子化合物，化学式代表最简整数比，如 NaCl (1:1) 或 MgCl₂ (1:2)。当一个原子团出现多次时使用括号，如 Ca(OH)₂ 含有两个 OH 基团。
w of conservation of mass. State symbols are often added: (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, and (aq) aqueous solution. For example: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l). Balancing is done by placing coefficients in front of compounds, never by changing subscripts.
配平的化学方程式用符号和化学式来描述反应，反应前后每种原子的数目必须相等，以符合质量守恒定律。常加入状态符号：(s) 固体，(l) 液体，(g) 气体，(aq) 水溶液。例如：2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)。配平是在化学式前面加上系数，绝不能改变化学式的下标。
4. Atomic and Molecular Masses, the Mole | 原子量、分子量与摩尔
a mass (Mᵣ), used for both covalent and ionic substances, is the sum of the Aᵣ values of all atoms in the formula. For example, Mᵣ of H₂O = (2 × 1) + 16 = 18.
相对原子质量 (Aᵣ) 是以碳-12 原子质量的 1/12 为标准，某元素一个原子的平均质量与之相比的比值，没有单位。相对分子质量或相对式量 (Mᵣ) 是化学式中所有原子的 Aᵣ 之和，适用于共价和离子化合物。例如 H₂O 的 Mᵣ = (2 × 1) + 16 = 18。
or amount of substance. One mole of any substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro' lative mass is given by: moles = mass ÷ Mᵣ. This allows chemists to calculate reacting masses and concentrations.
摩尔是物质的量的单位。1 摩尔任何物质含有 6.02 × 10²³ 个微粒（阿伏伽德罗常数）。1 摩尔物质的质量（以克为单位）在数值上等于它的相对式量。质量、摩尔数和相对质量的关系为：摩尔数 = 质量 ÷ Mᵣ。利用这个公式可以计算反应物的质量和溶液的浓度。
5. Acids, Bases and Neutralisation | 酸、碱与中和
An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H⁺) in water. Common laboratory acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and nitric acid (HNO₃). Bases are substances that can neutralise acids. Alkalis are soluble bases that release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
酸是在水中能释放氢离子 (H⁺) 的物质。实验室常见的酸有盐酸 (HCl)、硫酸 (H₂SO₄) 和硝酸 (HNO₃)。碱能中和酸。可溶性的碱叫碱溶液，它在水中释放出氢氧根离子 (OH⁻)，例如氢氧化钠 (NaOH) 和氢氧化钾 (KOH)。
he salt produced depends on the acid used: hydrochloric acid gives chlorides, sulfuric acid gives sulfates, nitric acid gives nitrates. The pH scale measures acidity or alkalinity, ranging from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly alkaline), with 7 being neutral. Indicators such as litmus and universal indicator show colour changes across the pH range.
酸与碱发生中和反应生成盐和水，离子方程式为 H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O。生成的盐取决于所用的酸：盐酸产生氯化物，硫酸产生硫酸盐，硝酸产生硝酸盐。pH 标度用来衡量酸碱度，范围从 0（强酸性）到 14（强碱性），7 为中性。指示剂如石蕊和通用指示剂在不同的 pH 范围内显示不同颜色。
6. Reactivity Series and Metal Extraction | 金属活动性顺序与提取
The reactivity series arranges metals in order of their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions. A typical series from most to least reactive is: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, copper, silver, gold. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds. They also react more vigorously with water and dilute acids.
金属活动性顺序是按金属失去电子、形成阳离子的难易程度排列的。从最活泼到最不活泼的常见顺序是：钾、钠、钙、镁、铝、锌、铁、铜、银、金。较活泼的金属能从化合物中置换出较不活泼的金属，并且与水、稀酸反应也更剧烈。
ch as iron, can be extracted by reduction with carbon. The reaction involves heating the metal oxide with carbon; carbon removes the oxygen (reduction), leaving the pure metal. The blast furnace is used for iron extraction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂.
活动性顺序排在碳之前的金属需用电解法从矿石中提取（如电解氧化铝制铝）。排在碳之后的金属，如铁，可以用碳还原提取。方法是将金属氧化物与碳一起加热，碳夺取氧（还原），从而得到纯金属。铁在鼓风炉中就是用一氧化碳还原氧化铁制得的：Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂。
7. Electrolysis | 电解
Electrolysis is the process of decomposing an ionic substance using a direct electric current. The electrolyte is the molten or dissolved ionic compound that conducts electricity. The positive electrode is the anode and attracts anions (negative ions), where oxidation (loss of electrons) occurs. The negative electrode is the cathode and attracts cations (positive ions), where reduction (gain of electrons) takes place.
电解是用直流电使离子化合物分解的过程。能导电的熔融离子化合物或它的水溶液叫电解质。正极称为阳极，吸引阴离子（负离子），发生氧化反应（失去电子）；负极称为阴极，吸引阳离子（正离子），发生还原反应（得到电子）。
In the electrolysis of molten lead(II) bromide, Pb²⁺ ions move to the cathode and gain electrons to form lead metal, while Br⁻ ions move to the anode, lose electrons and produce bromine gas. When electrolysing aqueous solutions, the products depend on the relative reactivity of the ions and the presence of water molecules. For example, in the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution (brine), hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode, with sodium hydroxide left in solution.
电解熔融溴化铅时，Pb²⁺ 离子移向阴极得电子变成金属铅，Br⁻ 离子移向阳极失电子产生溴气。电解水溶液时，产物取决于离子的放电顺序以及水的存在。例如电解氯化钠溶液（盐水），阴极产生氢气，阳极产生氯气，溶液中留下氢氧化钠。
8. Rates of Reaction | 化学反应速率
The rate of a chemical reaction is the speed at which reactants are used up or products are formed. It can be measured by recording the volume of gas evolved over time, the change in mass, or the time taken for a colour change or precipitate to appear. Collision theory states that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with sufficient energy (activation energy) and in the correct orientation.
化学反应速率是指反应物消耗或产物生成的快慢。可以通过记录气体体积随时间的变化、质量变化、或是观察到颜色改变或沉淀出现所需的时间来测量。碰撞理论指出，反应发生的前提是粒子必须以正确的取向发生碰撞，而且碰撞能量必须达到或超过活化能。
Factors that increase the rate of reaction include: increasing temperature (particles move faster, collide more frequently and with greater energy), increasing concentration or pressure (more particles in a given volume, leading to more frequent collisions), increasing surface area of solids (exposes more particles to collisions), and adding a catalyst (lowers activation energy without being used up). Catalysts are specific to particular reactions and provide an alternative reaction pathway.
提高反应速率的因素包括：升高温度（粒子运动加快，碰撞更频繁且能量更高），增大浓度或压强（单位体积内粒子数增多，碰撞频率增加），增大固体表面积（暴露更多粒子参与碰撞），以及加入催化剂（降低活化能，本身不被消耗）。催化剂具有专一性，能为反应提供另一条能量较低的途径。
9. Introduction to Organic Chemistry | 有机化学入门
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-based compounds. Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon. The alkanes are a homologous series of saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. They are unreactive because all carbon-carbon bonds are single. The first four alkanes are methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀).
有机化学是研究碳化合物的化学。碳氢化合物只含碳和氢。烷烃是一类饱和烃的同系物，通式为 CₙH₂ₙ₊₂。因为分子中碳碳之间都是单键，所以烷烃化学性质不活泼。前四种烷烃是甲烷 (CH₄)、乙烷 (C₂H₆)、丙烷 (C₃H₈) 和丁烷 (C₄H₁₀)。
The alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond; their general formula is CₙH₂ₙ. Ethene (C₂H₄) and propene (C₃H₆) are common alkenes. The double bond makes alkenes much more reactive than alkanes. They undergo addition reactions, where the double bond opens up to add atoms. For example, bromine water (red-brown) is decolourised by an alkene, which is a test for unsaturation. Alkenes can also react with hydrogen to form alkanes in a process called hydrogenation.
烯烃是不饱和碳氢化合物，含至少一个碳碳双键，通式为 CₙH₂ₙ。乙烯 (C₂H₄) 和丙烯 (C₃H₆) 是常见的烯烃。双键使烯烃的反应活性远高于烷烃。烯烃能发生加成反应，即双键打开加上其他原子。例如，烯烃能使红棕色的溴水褪色，这是检验不饱和键的方法。烯烃还可以与氢气发生加成反应生成烷烃，该过程叫氢化。
10. Earth and Atmosphere | 地球与大气
Earth's atmosphere today consists of approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. This composition has evolved from volcanic activity, photosynthesis by plants, and the dissolution of carbon dioxide in oceans. The early atmosphere was largely carbon dioxide and water vapour with little oxygen.
今天地球的大气大约由 78% 氮气、21% 氧气、0.9% 氩气、0.04% 二氧化碳以及微量其他气体组成。这个组成是经过火山活动、植物光合作用以及二氧化碳在海洋中的溶解而逐渐演变的。早期大气主要是二氧化碳和水蒸气，几乎没有氧气。
The greenhouse effect is a natural process where greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour) trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping Earth warm enough for life. However, human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation increase carbon dioxide levels, enhancing the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming and climate change. The carbon cycle describes how carbon moves between the atmosphere, oceans, living organisms and rocks through processes like respiration, photosynthesis, combustion and sedimentation.
温室效应是温室气体（二氧化碳、甲烷、水蒸气）在大气中截留热量的自然过程，使地球保持适宜生命生存的温度。但人类活动如燃烧化石燃料和砍伐森林增加了二氧化碳浓度，增强了温室效应，导致全球变暖和气候变化。碳循环描述了碳在大气、海洋、生物和岩石之间的迁移过程，通过呼吸作用、光合作用、燃烧和沉积等途径实现。
Air pollution can result from the burning of fuels. Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) dissolve in rainwater to form acid rain, which damages buildings, trees and aquatic life. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion. Particulates can cause respiratory problems. Catalytic converters in car exhausts help reduce emissions of these pollutants.
燃烧燃料会导致空气污染。二氧化硫 (SO₂) 和氮氧化物 (NOₓ) 溶于雨水形成酸雨，腐蚀建筑物、危害树木和水生生物。一氧化碳是不完全燃烧产生的有毒气体。颗粒物会引发呼吸系统疾病。汽车排气系统中的催化转化器有助于减少这些污染物的排放。
