Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- The process of atoms holding together in compounds.
- Three main types: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
Noble Gases
- Unreactive and monatomic due to stable outer electron shells.
- Used in providing inert atmospheres: Argon in lamps and Helium in balloons.
Halogens
- Range from gases (Fluorine, Chlorine) to liquids and solids down the group.
- Increasing atom size down the group due to more energy levels.
- Diverse uses in medicine, industry, and household products.
Alkali Metals
- Most reactive metals due to losing one electron for a stable outer shell.
### Physical Properties
- Luster: How shiny a substance is.
- Solubility: How easily a substance dissolves (e.g., table salt dissolving in water).
-
Conductivity: How easily electrical current and heat pass through.
- Good conductors (Copper wire) allow easy flow.
- Poor conductors (insulators) resist flow (e.g., rubber).
-
Ductility: How easily a substance bends.
- Most metals are ductile at high temperatures.
- Non-ductile materials (glass) are brittle and break easily when stretched.
Chemical Properties
- Describe the ability of a substance to change into new substances.
Reactivity
- Chemicals can react with other materials.
- Metals react with acids, producing new substances and gases (e.g., Magnesium reacting with acid, releasing hydrogen gas).
Flammability
- How easily a substance catches Fire (e.g., paper, gasoline).
- Burning involves chemical reactions, transforming substances into different ones.
Corrosion
- Iron and Steel corrosion is called "rusting."
- Rust is the red-brown substance formed.
Ions
- Charged particles with unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
- Formed by gaining or losing electrons.
- Cation: Positively charged ion (more protons than electrons).
- Anion: Negatively charged ion (more electrons than protons).
Diatomic Molecules
- Molecules composed of two atoms, either identical or different elements.
Elements
- Single atoms of elements are not molecules.
- Molecules are formed when elements bond to themselves or other elements (e.g., O2, O3, CO2).
Compounds
- Pure substances made of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds.
- Chemical bonds can only be broken by other chemicals, not physically separated.
Example Tables
- Demonstrates the composition of molecules and compounds, including number of atoms, molecules, and elements.
Example 2: Dot and Cross Diagrams
- Illustrates how elements form bonds and the ions they create.
Periodic Table
- Non-metals are on the right side, metals on the left.
- Metals become more reactive down a period.
- Non-metals become less reactive down a period.
Groups
- Group 1: Alkali metals
- Group 2: Alkaline Earth metals
- Group 7: Halogens
- Group 8 (Group 0): Noble Gases
Let's Practice
- Correct Answer: c. Covalent
- Halogens primarily form covalent bonds.
- Correct Answer: a. They are Metals
- Halogens are non-metals.
- Correct Answer: a. All form only -1 anions
- Halogens can form anions with different charges.
