    Study Notes

    Chemistry Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

    • Atoms were first proposed by Greek philosophers
    • Matter is composed of small finite particles called atoms
    • The term "atomos" is derived from the Greek word for indivisible
    • Elements were first proposed by Aristotle
    • The "elements" were fire, earth, air, and water
    • The current model of the atom includes protons, neutrons, and electrons

    Atomic Structure and Symbolism

    • The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons
    • Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus, but have negligible mass compared to the nucleus particles
    • Atoms have zero net charge; the number of positively charged protons equals the number of negatively charged electrons
    • Atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus
    • Mass number (A) represents the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and thus different masses

    Atomic Structure and Symbols (continued)

    • Simple notation is used to depict an atom's contents
    • The atomic symbol (X) is used to represent an atom on the periodic table
    • The periodic table is an arranged table of elements categorized by atomic number and properties, such as a metal, nonmetal or metalloid.
    • The Periodic table can be used to predict element properties.
    • Cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions) are created when neutral atoms lose or gain electrons

    Atomic Structure and Symbols (continued)

    • Isotopes have the same number of protons, but have different numbers of neutrons, hence differing mass numbers
    • The standard atomic mass is a weighted average of all isotopes of the elemant

    Chemical Formulas

    • Molecular formulas represent the number and types of atoms in a molecule
    • Structural formulas represent the connectivity of atoms in a molecule (how they're connected)
    • Chemical formulas represent the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
    • Elements can exist as individual atoms, diatomic molecules, or polyatomic molecules

    Chemical Formulas (continued)

    • Diatomic molecules exist as pairs of atoms of the same element, like O₂ and H₂
    • Polyatomic molecules exist in groups of atoms from the same or different elements, like phosphorus (P₄)
    • Examples include:
      • Hydrogen (H₂)
      • Nitrogen (N₂)
      • Oxygen (O₂)
      • Fluorine (F₂)
      • Chlorine (Cl₂)
      • Bromine (Br₂)
      • Iodine (I₂)
      • Phosphorus (P₄)
      • Sulfur (S₈)

    lons

    • Ions are charged atoms or molecules
    • Cations have a positive charge (formed by losing electrons)
    • Anions have a negative charge (formed by gaining electrons)
    • The charge of an ion often corresponds to the group on the periodic table

    lonic Compounds

    • Cations and anions combine to form ionic compounds
    • The charges of the ions must balance; total positive charge equals total negative charge, which usually means that subscripts are needed
    • Using the rules for naming ionic compounds, ionic compounds are named in standard formats
    • Naming polyatomic ions; names not associated with single elements(like sulfate or phosphate) follow the same basic rules

    Molecular Compounds

    • Molecular compounds form between two or more nonmetals
    • Atoms in molecules share electrons via the formation of covalent bonds
    • Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the name of the compound

    Naming Binary Acids

    • Binary acids contain hydrogen and one other nonmetal
    • The name is formed by using the prefix "hydro-" followed by the stem of the name of the nonmetal and "ic acid"
      • Examples include:
        • HCl : hydrochloric acid
        • H₂S : hydrosulfuric acid

    Naming Oxyacids

    • Oxyacids contain hydrogen, oxyanion, and oxygen
    • The name is derived by the root name of the oxyanion, and then adding "ic" for -ate,-ous for -ite, then the word acid
      • Examples include:
        • HNO₃ : nitric acid
        • HNO₂ : nitrous acid

    Naming Molecular Compounds

    • Prefixes indicate the number of each atom for molecular compounds.
    • The more metallic element is named first
    • Use suffix -ide for the more nonmetallic element
      • Examples include:
        • N₂O is dinitrogen monoxide
        • CO₂ is carbon dioxide
