    Study Notes

    Atoms and Molecules

    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter
    • Atoms combine to form molecules
    • The law of chemical combination, which explains how atoms combine together, includes laws of conservation of mass, and constant proportion.

    Law of Conservation of Mass

    • Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
    • The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products

    Law of Constant Proportions

    • Elements in a compound always combine in the same proportions by mass, regardless of the method of preparation
    • The ratios of elements are constant

    Dalton's Atomic Theory

    • All matter is composed of small, indivisible particles called atoms.
    • Atoms are indivisible and cannot be broken down.
    • Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties.
    • Atoms of different elements have different masses and different chemical properties.
    • Atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.
    • In chemical reactions, atoms are rearranged but not created or destroyed.

    Drawbacks of Dalton's Atomic Theory

    • Atoms are divisible into subatomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons)
    • Atoms of the same element can have different masses (isotopes)
    • The ratios of elements in a compound aren't always simple whole numbers

    Modern Day Symbols of Elements

    • Dalton was the first scientist to use symbols for elements.
    • Berzelius suggested using one or two letters from the element's name as its symbol.
    • IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) approves element names, symbols, and units.
    • Symbols typically use one or two letters from the English name.
    • Some symbols are derived from Latin, German, and Greek names

    IUPAC Name of elements

    • Includes recommended list of elements, symbols, and a table.

    Atomic Mass

    • The mass of an atom of an element.
    • 1 atomic mass unit (amu) ( now represented by "u") =1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
    • The mass of an atom is given in atomic mass units (u), or grams.
    • Atomic masses of several elements are given in a table

    Atoms Existence

    • Most elements exist as highly reactive atoms, requiring combining into molecules/ions
    • Noble gases are chemically inert, existing as single atoms

    Ions

    • Atoms or groups of atoms with positive or negative charges
    • Positively charged ions are called cations.
    • Negatively charged ions are called anions.
    • Includes a table of simple and compound ions

    Molecules

    • A molecule is a group of two or more chemically bonded atoms.
    • Molecules can be formed from atoms of the same element or different elements.
    • Molecules exhibit the properties of the substance.

    Molecules of a compound

    • Molecules in a compound consist of multiple different elements bonded in fixed proportions.

    Atomicity

    • The number of atoms in a molecule of an element.
    • Types of atomicity include monoatomic (one atom), diatomic (two atoms), triatomic (three atoms), and polyatomic (more than three atoms).

    Chemical Formulae

    • A symbolic representation of a compound's composition.
    • Valencies/charges of ions must balance
    • The metal symbol comes first (in formulas with a metal and a nonmetal).

    Molecular Mass

    • The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule of a substance
    • Calculated from the formula for a given compound.

    Formula Unit Mass

    • The sum of the atomic masses of all ions in a formula unit of a compound.

    Mole Concept

    • A mole is 6.022 x 1023 particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) of a substance.
    • 1 mole of atoms= 6.022 x 1023 atoms, etc

    Molar Mass

    • The mass of one mole of any substance (in grams per mole).

    Valency

    • The combining capacity of an element
    • Equal to the number of electrons gained, lost, or shared

    Examples of Questions and Answers (based on provided slides)

    • Additional Notes:
      • Formulas for different compounds are provided throughout the notes.
      • Information about elements and their symbols is included.
      • Ratio by mass, and calculation is shown in examples.
