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
- Examples include:
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
- Examples include:
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
- Examples include:
