Study Notes
Covalent Bonds and Molecular Formation
- Hydrogen has one electron in its K shell and needs one more to achieve a stable configuration like helium.
- Two hydrogen atoms share their electrons to form a hydrogen molecule (H2).
- The shared pair of electrons forms a single covalent bond.
- Chlorine, with atomic number 17, has seven electrons in its outermost shell and forms Cl2 with a single covalent bond.
- Oxygen, with atomic number 8, has six electrons in its L shell and forms O2 with a double covalent bond.
Fuel Combustion and Environmental Impact
- Fuels like coal and petroleum contain impurities like nitrogen and sulfur.
- Burning these fuels produces oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, major environmental pollutants.
- Flames are produced when gaseous substances burn.
- The color of a flame is characteristic of the element emitting light.
Coal and Petroleum Formation
- Coal and petroleum are derived from biomass over millions of years.
- Plants were buried under layers of earth and rock, subjected to heat and pressure, transforming into coal.
Ethanoic Acid
- Common name: acetic acid.
- 5-8% solution of acetic acid in water is called vinegar.
- Ethanoic acid is a weak acid, unlike strong mineral acids like HCl.
- Ethanoic acid reacts with bases, carbonates, and hydrogen carbonates, producing salts, water, and often carbon dioxide.
Soaps and Micelles
- Soap molecules have hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) ends.
- In water, soaps form micelles: spherical clusters where hydrophobic tails face the interior and hydrophilic heads face the exterior.
- Micelles trap dirt and oil in their center, allowing cleaning.
- The cloudy appearance of soap solutions is due to light scattering by micelles.
