Study Notes
Introduction
- Ancient Indian philosophers, like Maharishi Kanad (500 BC), considered dividing matter into smaller pieces.
- Pakudha Katyayama furthered this concept.
- Ancient Greek philosophers, Democritus and Leucippus, proposed the idea of indivisible particles called atoms.
- 18th Century scientific advancements led to understanding of elements and compounds, and how they combine.
- Antoine Lavoisier laid the foundation of chemistry.
Laws of Chemical Combination
- Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. The total mass remains constant.
- Law of Constant Proportions: A chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same fixed proportion by mass.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- All matter is made of atoms.
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.
- Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds.
- Atoms are indivisible in chemical reactions.
Symbols of Atoms
- Element symbols are derived from their names.
- Dalton first used symbols for elements.
- Berzelius suggested using one or two letters from the name.
Atomic Mass
- Atomic mass is the relative mass of an atom compared to 1/12th the mass of a Carbon-12 atom.
- Dalton proposed the concept of atomic mass.
- Atomic mass is used to compare the masses of different atoms.
Molecules of Elements and Compounds
- Atoms of most elements can't exist independently; they form molecules.
- Molecules of elements consist of identical atoms.
- Molecules of compounds are formed by different elements combining in definite mass ratios.
Molecules of Compounds
- Atoms of different elements combine in definite proportions to form compounds.
- Examples include water (H₂O), ammonia (NH₃), and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
- Examples of molecules like water (H2O), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are included to showcase combining ratios in compounds.
Formula Unit Mass
- Formula unit mass is the sum of atomic masses in a formula unit.
- It's similar to molecular mass but used for ionic compounds.
- Calculated by adding atomic masses of each atom in the formula unit.
Molecular Mass
- Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.
- Calculated by adding atomic masses of each atom in the molecule.
- Unit is atomic mass units (u).
