Models of the Particulate Nature of Matter

Hello everyone! Here are my notes on the first topic of CHEM HL for the IBDP! Hope they help <3

Lecture Notes

ATOMS, COMPOUNDS, MIXTURES

Atoms are the smallest particle of an element.

Elements are the primary constituents of matter, which cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances.

Compounds consists of atoms of different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.

Mixtures contain more than one element or compound in no fixed ratio, which are not chemically bonded and so can be separated into physical methods.

CLASSIFYING MATTER

Elements exist with other elements, as chemical compounds which consist of different elements chemically bonded in a fixed ratio.

sodium chloride, is a white crystalline solid that is added to improve food, whereas sodium is a dangerously reactive metal that reacts violently with water, and chlorine is a toxic water.

Air is an example of homogeneous mixture as it has uniform composition and properties throughout. Additionally, a solution of salt in water and a metal alloy such as bronze, which is a mixture of copper and tin, are also homogeneous.

To form a homogeneous mixture, the inter-particle attraction within the different components mus be similar in nature to those between the components in the mixture.

Heterogeneous mixture, has a non-uniform composition and its properties are not the same throughout.

Does a mixture have the same classification at all scales?

SEPARATION OF MATTER

Filtration is used to separate a solid from a liquid or a gas. Solid is collected on the membrane and the filtrate containing the solute passes through.

Solvation is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute.

An example would be sand and salt as they have different solubilities

Residue is the mixture left in the filtrate after the procedure.

Distillation is used to separate a solvent from a solute.

The solvent has a lower boiling point than the solute, therefore it i collected as a gas and passes over the condensation sube, which is surrounded by cold water. This gas is condensed into the pure solvent, into a beaker at the end.

Paper chromatography is used to analyzed the composition of different solutions which are placed in the baseline. The aper is suspended to ensure that it is saturated as

The different components have different affinities for the water (or other solvent) in the paper.

This method can be used to investigate the different pigments in food colouring.

STATES OF MATTER Solid Liquid Gas Particles closely packed Particles more spaced Particles fully spread out Inter-particle forces strong, particles vibrate in position. Inter-particle forces weaker, particles can slide over each other. Inter-particle forces negligible, particles move freely. Fixed-shape No fixed shape No fixed shape Fixed volume Fixed volume No fixed volume

Temperature of the system is directly related to the average kinetic energy of the particles.

State of matter is determined by the strength of inter-particle forces that exist between the particles relative to this average kinetic energy: thus, if the inter-particle forces are sufficiently strong to keep the particles in position at a given temperature and pressure, the substance will be a solid. If not, it will be a liquid or a gas.

Example: which of the following has the highest average kinetic energy?

He at 100ºC

H2 at 200ºC

O2 at the 300ºC

H2O at 400ºC

Answer: 4, as the substance at the highest temperature has the highest average kinetic energy.

Fluids is another name for liquids and gases as they take the shape of their container. Diffussion, the process by which particles of a substance spread out more evenly occurs as a result of their random movement, occurring predominantly in these two fluid states.

KINETIC ENERGY (Ek)

Refers to the energy associated with movement or motion.

Ek:1/2mv^2

As the average kinetic energy of all particles at the same temperature is the same, there is an inverse relationship between mass and velocity. Therefore, particle with smaller mass will diffuse more quickly than those with greater mass at the same temperature.

solid (s)

liquid (l)

gas (g)

aqueous (aq)

Solutions are generally mixture of two or more components. The less abundant component is the solute, and he more abundant is the solvent. The solute can be solid, liquid or gas but the solvent is generally a liquid.

As the kinetic energy of particles increase, they will overcome the inter-particle forces and change states.

A solid changes to a liquid at a defined melting point, and a liquid changes to a gas at it’s boiling point

melting point ≠ freezing point

boiling point ≠ condensation point

Sublimation is the direct inter-conversion of a solid to a gas without going through the liquid state.

Deposition is the reverse of sublimation and occurs when a gas changes directly to a solid.

Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure is equal to the external pressure. As a liquid is heated, more particles enter the vapour state and the vapoure pressure increases, when the external pressure is lower, the vapour pressure needed to boil is reduced and so, boiling occurs at a low temperature.

When the external pressure is lower, the vapour pressure needed to boil is reduced and so boiling occurs at a lower temperature.

KINETIC ENERGY AND TEMPERATURE.

a-b, the solid is heated, the vibrational energy of its particles increases and so the temperature increases.

b-c This is the melting point, the vibrations are sufficiently energetic for the particles to move away from their fixated positions and form a liquid. Energy added, during this stage is used to break the inter-particle forces, not to raise the kinetic energy, so the temperature remains constant.

c-d As the liquid is heated, the particles gain kinetic energy and so the temperature increases.

d-e The boiling point, there is now sufficient energy to break all of the inter-particle forces and form a gas. It needs more energy than melting, as all the inter-particle forces must be broken.

e-f the gas is heated under pressure, the kinetic energy of particles continues to rise and so does temperature.

MELTING AND BOILING ARE ENDOTHERMIC PROCESSES.

KELVIN

The movement or kinetic energy of the particles of a substance depends on the temperature. If the temperature of a substance is decreased, the average kinetic energy of the particles also decreases.

0ºK= 273ºC

so Cin don't think i didn't notice the way Hope's gender reveal dress was practically the same color as their wedding theme color,,,,,,,, and since that's the case,,,,,,,, can we get a Hope lookbook pls. also Aaliyah if that's her with the afro look and the short dress set (which i think it is sksksksk)

Hey friendddddddddddddddddd that baby shower was a delight to help host!! Again, all I do is show up and take pretty pictures for them.

Did you peep how Hope changed to blue with the pink shoes for the family pic?? All her idea, we love to see it.

And did you see how the titties were tittying on level 100000?? Mmhmm Jay saw too. Every chance he got he was sneaking a little squeeze when no one was looking. In fact, in this pic she told him that if he does it again she was going to bear kick him....

But I couldn't caption that.... we just went with vibes.

So about that look!! Hope chose her natural hair made as big as possible with a little heat diffussion. She chose gold jewels to set off her skin (which has absolutely been glowing), a neutral colored (with hints of pink) soft, feminine and flowy dress with button detail and a deep v-cut with puffy sleeves. She finished the look with pink strappy heels.

Hair | Jewels | Dress | Shoes

As for Aaliyah

You can find her dress here <-

Hair is by dogsill here <-

Enjoy friend!

Hey, love your gifs! Do you have a sharpening tutorial for scenes without people? I always find mine still come out sort of blurry?

Hii, thank you so much! You're so kind!

Since I'm the worst at explaining stuff, I'm going to link you to some posts that saved my life gif making speaking and hopeful they will help you too!

First one is this tutorial by kylo. I learnt my current way of making gif thanks to this tutorial and I couldn't be happier with it. In the tutorial, you can find the sharpening action I use too!

The second one is this post by anya-chalotra. Here she explains the most important aspects of gif making. For example tumblr sizes, video file quality and save settings. You want to take a look at the last two, because I've checked your gifs (They are beautiful!) and I think the blurry thing might be because of the video quality!

My personal save settings are: always Adaptive + Pattern or Diffussion (differences: adaptive + pattern / adaptive + diffusion)

Hope you find any of this helpful! Thank you for your ask ❤️

Ok I think the lady in the story wasn't making very good points and I don't agree with her but it's such a misunderstanding of AI art to think it's just prompt after prompt and taking or rejecting the result, there can be as much or as little complexity as you want, it's more similar to CGI (not that tumblr has any respect for CGI as an art but welp) where massive amounts of nodes are created and then combined to achieve different effects (which requires knowledge of art principles, coding, math, etc.), when people talk about AI art they think it's only Bing image generator but that's like thinking the entire discipline of graphic design is only picking between Canva templates! You can run stable diffussion on your own computer (no datacenter usage, though the whole environment argument is also incredibly misconstructed, but beyond the scope of the post so I'll use the example of someone running SD on their own computer to get it out of the way), and spend hundreds of hours training your own models, coding your own nodes to do things like create a turnaround based on your own drawing or take an outfit you drew on one character and apply it to another, or archieve new effects that weren't possible with previously existing tools like they did in Spiderverse or Elemental. I'm a 2D and 3D artist and seeing how people worked with this kind of thing reminded me a lot of the kind of problems and solutions involved in 3D art. I also used to be very ignorant about this but I'm glad I took the time to learn, if anything it can help you oppose it better if you still want to oppose it to learn what the entire discipline is about and not just the "tip of the iceberg" of prompt -> final result. If anyone has questions I'm always happy to offer links or explanations!!

I've finally figured out an argument that convinces coding tech-bros that AI art is bad.

Got into a discussion today (actually a discussion, we were both very reasonable and calm even through I felt like committing violence) with a tech-bro-coded lady who claimed that people use AI in coding all the time so she didn't see why it mattered if people used AI in art.

Obviously I repressed the surge of violence because that would accomplish nothing. Plus, this lady is very articulate, the type who makes claims and you sit there thinking no that's wrong it must be but she said it so well you're kind of just waffling going but, no, wait-- so I knew I had to get this right if I was gonna come out of this unscathed.

The usual arguments about it being about the soul of it and creation fell flat, in fact she was adamant that anyone who believed that was in fact looking down at coding as an art form as she insisted it is. Which, sure, you can totally express yourself through coding. There's a lot more nuance as to the differences but clearly I was not going to win this one.

The other people I was with (literally 8 people anti-ai against her, but you can't change the mind of someone who doesn't want to listen and she just kept accusing us of devaluing coding as an art) took over for I kid you not 15 minutes while I tried desperately to come up with a clear and articulate way to explain the difference to her. They tried so many reasonable arguments, coding being for a function ("what, art doesn't serve a function?") coding being many discrete building blocks that you put together differently, and the AI simply provides the blocks and you put it together yourself ("isn't that what prompt building is") that it's bad for the environment ("but not if it's used for capitalism, hm?" "Yeah literally that's how capitalism works it doesn't care about the environment" she didn't like that response)

But I finally got it.

And the answer is: It's not about what you do, it's about what you claim to be.

Imagine that someone asks an AI to write a code and, by some miracle, it works perfectly without them having to tweak it---which is great because they couldn't tell you what a single solitary thing in that code means.

Now imagine this person, with their code that they don't know how it works, goes and applies to be a coder somewhere, presenting this AI code as proof that they're qualified.

Should they be hired?

She was horrified, of course. Of course they shouldn't be. They're not qualified. They can't actually code, and even if by some miracle they did have an AI successfully write a flawless code for every issue they came across that wouldn't be their code, you could hire any shmuck on the street to do that, no reason to pay someone like they're creating something.

When actual engineers use AI what they do is get some kind of base, which they then go though and check for problems and then if they find any they fix them, and add on to the base code with their own knowledge instead of just trying different prompt after prompt until they randomly come across one that works.

People who generate code like this don't usually call themselves engineers. They're people who needed a bit of code and didn't have the knowledge to generate it, and so used a resource.

And there you go. There are people who have none of the skills of artists, they don't practice, they don't create for themselves. When they feed the prompt to the AI they then don't just use the resulting image as a reference point for their own personal masterpiece, and if they don't like it they don't have the skills to change it---they simply try another prompt, and do that until they get something they like.

These people are calling themselves artists.

Not only that, these people are bringing the AI generated thing to interviews, and they are getting hired, leaving people who slave over their craft out of the job.

And that is the difference, for the tech bros who think AI art isn't a big deal.

04_Pernille Sandberg

Pernille Sandberg is both a photographer and filmkaker from Copenhagen who explores a number of genres; fashion, portraiture and fine art.

"Her artistic practice is characterized by a respectful approach to her subjects and assignments, providing accessible perspectives on complex issues while illuminating the often-overlooked fragile aspects."

There are three portraiture concepts that Sandberg has in her works that I would like to explore further myself.

The first is environmental portraiture - I have some ideas around capturing friends and family in their working environment (passion or profession) and I like how Sandberg does it in these two series of images. Both include one image of the artist and a series of portraits of the environment they work in and their works. What I appreciate about this approach is going beyond the person to a portrait of place - when it comes to capturing an artist and his environment I think the environment speaks as much to their work as the artist himself does. Sandbergs was of capturing this and in a very simple b/w manner makes the images look both personal and untouched.

The portrait below of the French artist Eugène van Lamsweerde is shot at an interesting angle. He looks down at the camera and the window frame behind him isn't straight. The portrait as a result doesn't look super arranged or forced. The soft natural light coming onto his face actually blows out the detail distinguishing his foreheard/hair and the wall behind him. There is just enough detail on the left side - so it's not super shadowed by does stand apart from the wall behind. By the looks no artificial lighting was used in this shot and no reflector either?

I can tell by the grain and clarity of the images that they were taken on film - a look that I personally really like for its timelessness.

Eugène van Lamsweerde / Artist / Sellières, France. (Interview and photographs published in jane. by the grey attic, Australia 2018).

The second is a DIY naturally lit studio situation. Sandberg took these portraits as promo shots for a Norwegian film that came out in 2021 called The Worst Person In The World.

In terms of the portrait style I like that she plays with different - though only slight - angle changes on classic front on shots. The framing of the subject not always centered and I like the moodyness of the colours in combination with the lighting. The dark backdrop combined with bright yet diffused (what looks like natural light) makes for a fashion editorial-like aesthetic. The facial shadows are very soft yet the contrast is quite strong.

The light in the latter two look like top down but with the models face angle away it produces an almost split lighting effect in the second image and illuminates the back of the model in the second photo. The first photo looks super diffussed with no direct light source - but looks evenly light on both side of the face. However, unlike the latter two the first has no back lighting making the background darker and the subjects hair blend into it.

Joachim Trier, The Worst Person In The World (2021).

The third is from a series of photos Sandberg took of the Tucci family (Gianpaolo Tucci also happens to be a graphic designer and typographer who I heard speak at a type conference last year)

The two shots I chose were taken in two very different lighting situations. The one of the left looks like indoors with very diffuse lighting as there is minimal/light shadowing on the right side of the photo (reflector used for this?). The right photo looks like an outdoor shot with very low sunlight or brighter light (or like a silver reflector) - to be able to get the defined shadow of the baby's head against her face.

Right (Gianpaolo Tucci): A relatively flat image in terms of highlights but offers enough contrast from his darker features (hair and clothing > something I noticed the impact of in my own photos). Only a slight catchlight in his right eye suggest no super strong light sources. Again I do like the off center framing of the subjects face - even with the face not being central to the frame its still balanced.

Left (Christina Bucardo): What I really like is the focus on the eyes, how they are the focus on the image yet aren't fully centered in the image nor are they in the foreground. But they have an intensity with the harsher light focused on that area of her face.

I've checked both of them out, my thots:

Cursed:

Despicable. awful. 0/10. 1. thats not what leprosy looks like

2. 'His symptoms just progressed slower' leprosy IS a slow disease, it can take 7-20 years for the first symptoms to appear, doesnt makes much sense that the son who caught it later developed it first (this is not a case of the immune system being weak in kids; leprosy just takes a long time to multiply)

3. while not impossible, 90% of the time leprosy starts from the nerves and then moves to the skin, the kid shouldve been showing neurological issues first

4. im guessing the lung issues were from anthrax? unsure. but like....thalidomide...? its not an antibiotic nor does it treats leprosy, it helps manage leprosy reactions like ENL but other than that i have no idea if it actually has any effect on the bacteria itself

5. steroids are not a good idea for leprosy

Dying changes everything:

This is one is okay. 4/10

yes pretty leprosy is a real thing, though its usually referred as pretty leper syndrome or moon leprosy

2. yes leprosy can cause amyloidosis which is usually the case of death for victims

3. diffussive lepromatous leprosy is my favorite type of leprosy so it gets a 1+ from me

4. its also the deadlier type, unsure why they didnt go for the lucios phenomenon route which is what defines DLL with necrosis, low blood pressure and kidney failure but whatever floats your boat!

on a side note, i dont think i have ever seem a leprosy case with fever? i know pyrogenic cytokines are involved but ive only see mentions of fever within leprosy reactions like ENL or RR, im not saying leprosy doesnt causes fever but i personally never heard of it

have you seen the house md leprosy episodes?

i have never watched a single episode of house md in my entire life but after this ask i have a powerful need. where is it. give it to me. *grabby hands*

Thank you to the mutual who put this youtube video in my DMs.

Don't mind the clickbait thumbnail. The video is an explaination of what machine learned image generating algorythms are, a brief overview on how they work, what suit is being brought against them, and what defense the owers of the MLIGAs will like use.

The one thing the lawyer doesn't mention that I think should be considered in this case is how it's been ruled that qualifying for copyright requires 'human authorship,' which it's been found by US courts that algorythmically generated images lack in their entirety.

This is relevant because the defense the owners of the MLIGAs is likely going to be Fair Use, andso the crux of their argument will be whether the images generated by their copyright infringement machine are transformative or derivative in nature; and it's my interpretation of the law that transformativity requires human authorship, a thing AI generated images have been found to legally lack.

The only thing worse than being included in an AI image model is not being included in a AI image model
