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.
