Study Notes

Periodic Table and Chemical Reactions

  • Metals are typically located on the left side of the periodic table, while non-metals are found on the right side.
  • Chemical equations can be expressed as word equations or symbol equations.

Naming Compounds

  • Compounds comprising a metal and a non-metal are named by writing the metal first followed by the non-metal ending in "ide".
  • Examples:
    • Li + O2 → Li2O (lithium oxide)
    • Na + Cl → NaCl (sodium chloride)
  • Special names for common compound parts:
    • Sodium hydroxide = NaOH
    • Copper carbonate = CuCO3
    • Hydroxide = OH, Sulfate = SO4, Nitrate = NO3, Carbonate = CO3

Element Symbols

  • Metals show as elements: Li (Lithium), Fe (Iron), Au (Gold).
  • Solid non-metals represented as elements: C (Carbon), P (Phosphorus), I (Iodine), S (Sulfur).
  • Gaseous non-metals are typically diatomic: H2 (Hydrogen), O2 (Oxygen), N2 (Nitrogen), Cl2 (Chlorine), etc.
  • Notable compounds:
    • Hydroxide (OH), Methane (CH4), Ammonia (NH3).

Chemical Reaction Practice

  • Example word equations:
    • Lithium + Bromine → Lithium Bromide
    • Sulfur + Oxygen → Sulfur Dioxide
    • Potassium + Water → Potassium Hydroxide + Hydrogen

Conservation of Mass

  • The principle states that mass cannot change during a chemical reaction; it remains constant.
  • Reactants are substances that undergo change, while products are the resulting substances after the reaction.
  • No atoms are created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; only their bonding changes.

Balancing Chemical Equations

  • Balancing involves ensuring the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the reaction.
  • The subscript indicates the number of atoms of that element, whereas a coefficient applies to all elements in that compound.

Example Chemical Formulas

  • HO: 1 Hydrogen atom, 1 Oxygen atom.
  • CO: 1 Carbon atom, 1 Oxygen atom.
  • H2O: 2 Hydrogen atoms, 1 Oxygen atom.

Success Criteria

  • Ability to combine symbols appropriately to form compounds.
  • Capability to convert word equations into symbol equations.
  • Understanding the concept of balancing symbol equations in chemical reactions.
