Semi conductors: They are materials whose resistivities is mid way between

good conductors and insulators e.g. germanium, silicon etc

Insulators: They are materials which do not allow electrons to pass through

them e.g. paper, plastic, glass, oil, cotton, dry hair, polythene etc

Electric Circuit : An electric circuit is a complete path provided for the flow of electric current. The circuit diagram below is a symbolic representation of such circuit.

Functions of dc circuit components

WEEK 5

TOPIC: MATTER, ATOMIC STRUCTURE, STATES OF MATTER,

DIFFUSION, OSMOSIS, BROWNIAN MOTION

CONTENT : Atomic Structure

Molecular Theory of Matter

Diffusion and Osmosis

Matter

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. All substances are made up of matter. It exists in three states namely, solid liquid and gas. Examples of solids are ice, brick, metal, concrete, wood etc. examples of liquid are water, milk, oil etc while that of gas are oxygen, nitrogen, CO2

Structure of Matter

Matter is made up of discrete particles namely atom, molecules and ion.

Atom: An atom is the smallest particle of an element which can have a separate existence. Atom is made up of a nucleus and a revolving electron around an orbit or shell. The nucleus consists of proton and neutron. The proton is positively charge, electron is negatively charge and neutron is neutral (i.e. has no charge). The number of protons equates the number of electrons.An atom that contains the same number of protons and electrons is said to be electrically neutral.

Molecule: A molecule is a group of atoms of the same or different elements joined in simple proportion. They come together to make up matter

Brownian Motion

Molecules exist
Molecules are continually in motion

EVALUATION

Explain the structure of matter
What is the importance of Brownie’s motion

Molecular Theory of Matter

Using kinetic theory explain the (i) definite structure of solid (ii) shape of liquid (iii) gas

Solid: Matter consists of molecules which are tightly held together by intermolecular forces to make the molecules to vibrate about their mean positions, giving the solid definite shape. If the solid is heated, the total energy is divided among the molecules to make them vibrate faster. Eventually, they move so fast that they break loose from their fixed position.
Liquid: The molecules of a liquid can move about within the given volume of the container. Hence, liquid has its own size but no shape. If the liquid is heated, its molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster, until eventually molecules can escape from the surface. The liquid then vanishes and turns to gaseous state.
Gas: The molecules of a gas are also in constant motion like the liquid but comparatively far apart. They move at high speed, colliding with one another and with the walls of their containing vessel. They fill the vessel and exert pressure on the walls of the container. The pressure of the gas is caused by the collision of the molecules with the walls of the container.

Diffusion and Osmosis

Diffusion: Diffusion is the process by which different forms of matter (fluids) mix intimately with one another owing to the kinetic nature of their molecules. It is also the tendency of a gas to mix with another and fill an empty space as a result of the constant random motion of the molecules.

The rates of diffusion or factors affecting diffusion are (i) density (ii) mass (iii) temperature (iv) pressure (v) concentration

Also, Graham’s law of diffusion states that at constant temperature, gas diffuse at rates inversely proportional to the square root of their vapour densities.

R α1/√M → R = K/√M .;K = R√M

Hence, R1√M1 = R2√M2 = …= Rn√Mn

Hence, R1/R2 = √M2/√M1 where R – rate of diffusion, M – relative molecular mass. NB : (i) R = volume (gas)/time

(ii) Relative molecular mass is twice its vapour density

Osmosis: This is the movement of water molecules from the region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

State four factors that affect the rate of diffusion

WEEK 6

TOPIC: CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF MATTER- AMORPHOUS AND

CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCES.

CONTENT : Crystal Structure

Crystalline and Amorphous Substance

The term crystal structure is generally used to describe the internal structure of solids. The particles of a solid are orderly arranged in parallel planes. In other words, solid crystals consist of particles arranged in parallel planes. Crystals are built up from simple structural units called unit cells. A unit cell (also called a space lattice) is made up of few atoms, ions or molecules.

There are seven types of unit cells. Each type gives rise to a crystal system. They include cubic, rhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, tetragonal, rhombohedra and hexagonal crystal system. X- ray analysis of crystal shows that three pairs of opposite parallel faces bund the unit cells in all crystal systems, except in hexagonal system. We can draw three imaginary lines between the centres of the opposite parallel faces.

These imaginary lines represent three axes of symmetry. The length of these axes of symmetry and the angles between them determines the system to which a crystal belongs. This is demonstrated using cubic and monoclinic crystal systems.

In a cubic crystal system, the axes of symmetry have equal length and at right angles to each other. This type of crystal system is found in copper, sodium chloride, silver, gold, iron, sodium, potassium etc. however, the type of cubic crystal system found in copper, silver, gold and sodium chloride is different from the type found in sodium, iron and potassium. The former is called face centred cubic, while the later is called body centred cubic. In a monoclinic system, the axes are not equal in length and only two of them are at right angles to each other. These crystal systems are in sugar, washing soda, ferrous sulphate etc.

EVALUATION

What is a unit cell?
With the aid of diagram, distinguish between cubic crystal system and monoclinic crystal system.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CRYSTALLINE AND AMORPHOUS SUBSTANCES

CONTENT: Definition of Capillarity

Cohesion and adhesion

Application of capillarity

Capillarity is defined as the tendency of liquids to rise or fall in narrow capillary tubes.

Adhesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of different substance or it refers to the force which makes molecules of different substance to attract.

Application of Capillarity

WEEK 9

TOPIC: ELASTICITY

CONTENT : Definition of elasticity

Hook’s law

Tensile stress, tensile strain and young modulus

Elasticity is the tendency of a material to regain its original size or shape after deformation or after it has been compressed or extended.

Hook’s law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension in an elastic material (wire) is proportional to the force applied i.e Fαe

F = Ke…………………………………………1

Where K is force constant, stiffness or elastic constant

Force constant is the amount of force that causes a unit extension. It is the ratio of force to extension of an elastic material.

K → force constant, stiffness or elastic constant

A →proportional limit

L →elastic limit

B →yield point

OL → elastic deform

BC→plastic deform

Hook’s law applies up to the elastic limit. For load beyond L the wire (material) stretch permanently. The point where small ↑ in load produces large extension is known as yield point.

Breaking point is the point where the wire cannot withstand any further increase in load.

Yield point : it is the minimum stress/load acting on an elastic material beyond which plastic deformation sets in.

Elastic limit is the maximum load (force) which a body can experience and still regain its original size.

CONTENT : Force in a bar

Energy stored in a wire

Energy stored per unit area

Force in a bar

When a bar is heated and then prevented from contracting as it cools, a considerable force is exerted at the end of the bar. Given a bar of a young modulus E, a cross sectional area A, a linear expansivity of magnitude α and a decrease in temperature of Ө,then

E = stress/strain = F/A/e/L

=F/A х L/e

E = FL/Ae

F = EAe/L ………………………….1

ENERGY STORED IN A WIRE

The application of force on any wire provided the elasticity limit is not exceeded is proportional to the extension provided.

Consequently, the force in the wire has increase from zero to F

Average force = f + O/2 = f/2

Recall work done = Average force х distance

W = f/2 x e = ½ fe ………………………….3

Substitute eqn 1 into 3

W = EAe2/2L……………………………….4

ENERGY STORED PER UNIT VOLUME

WV = ½ X Stress X Strain…………………..5

This implies that Wv = Ee2/2L2

Substance which lengthens considerable and undergo plastic deforemation until they break are known as ductile substance. E.g lead, coper, wrought iron.

Substance which break after the elastic limit is reached are known as brittle substance e.g glass and high carbon steel. It should be noted that brass, bronze and many alloys appears to have no yield point. By this we mean that this material increase in length beyond the elastic limit as the lead is increased without the sudden appearance of a plastic stage.
