Study Notes
Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
- Element: A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. It's made of only one type of atom.
- Compound: A substance made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded in a fixed ratio.
- Mixture: A combination of two or more substances that are physically combined but not chemically bonded.
Particle Diagrams
- Elements: A single type of atom.
- Compounds: Multiple types of atoms bonded together in a specific arrangement.
- Mixtures: Multiple types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded, mixed together.
Metals and Non-metals (Periodic Table)
- Metal Identification: Use the periodic table to determine if an element is a metal or non-metal. Most elements on the left side of the periodic table are metals; non-metals are on the right.
-
Metal Properties:
- Solid state (except mercury)
- Shiny/lustrous appearance
- Good conductors of heat and electricity
- Malleable (can be hammered into shapes)
- High density
- High melting points
-
Non-metal Properties:
- Can be solid, liquid, or gas
- Dull appearance
- Poor conductors of heat and electricity
- Brittle (break easily)
- Low density
- Low melting points
Identifying Metals/Non-metals
- Electrical Conductivity Test: Metals conduct electricity; non-metals do not.
- Appearance Test: Metals are shiny, non-metals are dull.
- Malleability Test: Metals can be bent or flattened; non-metals break.
Reactions with Oxygen
-
Magnesium (Mg): Burns with a bright white flame, forming magnesium oxide (MgO).
- Reaction: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
-
Calcium (Ca): Burns with an orange-red flame, forming calcium oxide (CaO).
- Reaction: 2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO
-
Carbon (C): Burns with a yellow-orange flame, forming carbon dioxide (CO₂) with enough oxygen. If oxygen is limited forms carbon monoxide (CO).
- Complete combustion: C + O₂ → CO₂
- Incomplete combustion: 2C + O₂ → 2CO
Reactions of Metal Oxides with Water
- Reactive metal oxides dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions (metal hydroxides).
- Example 1: Sodium oxide + Water → Sodium hydroxide: Na₂O + H₂O → 2NaOH
- Example 2: Calcium oxide + Water → Calcium hydroxide: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
Metal Oxide Characteristics
- Metal Oxides: Usually solid, high melting points, may dissolve in water to be alkaline.
- Non-metal Oxides: Often gases or low-melting solids, may dissolve in water to be acidic.
Reactions of Metals with Water
- Metal + water → metal hydroxide + hydrogen
- Metal oxide + water → metal hydroxide
- Metal + oxygen → metal oxide
- Non-metal oxide + water → acid
- Metal + acid → salt + hydrogen gas
Reactions of Li, Na, and K with Water
- Lithium (Li): Reacts steadily, floats on water.
- Sodium (Na): More vigorous than Li, melts, moves on the water surface.
- Potassium (K): Extremely vigorous, ignites spontaneously, produces a lilac flame.
Metal Reactivity and the Periodic Table
- Reactivity Order (most to least reactive): Potassium > Sodium > Calcium > Magnesium > Aluminum > Zinc > Iron > Copper > Silver > Gold.
Combining Powers (Valencies)
- Group 1: +1
- Group 2: +2
- Transition metals (vary)
- Group 6: -2
- Group 7: -1
- Group 5: -3
Formulae of Compounds
- Find valencies of each element.
- Balance the valencies to make the total charge zero.
- Write the formula with subscripts to show the ratio.
Displacement Reactions
- More reactive element displaces a less reactive one from its compound.
- Use reactivity series to predict reactions.
- Identify the more reactive metal and the less reactive metal.
Observations During Displacement Reactions
- Color change
- Formation of precipitate
- Metal deposition
- Gas evolution
- Temperature change
- Odor change
Metal Extraction Methods
- Iron: Reduction with carbon in a blast furnace.
- Aluminum: Electrolysis.
- Copper, Zinc, Lead: Smelting or other methods involving carbon reduction.
- Silver/Gold: Found in native form or extracted using cyanide leaching.
Electrolysis Products
- Cathode: Positive ions (cations) are attracted. Will form metal or hydrogen gas.
- Anode: Negative ions (anions) are attracted. Will form non-metal compounds such as oxygen gas or halogen gases.
Predicting Metal Extraction Methods
- Highly reactive metals: Electrolysis
- Moderately reactive metals: Reduction with carbon
- Less reactive metals: Heating or found in native form
Electroplating
- Electrolysis used to coat an object with metal.
Variables in Experiments
- Independent Variable: The variable you change.
- Dependent Variable: The variable you measure.
- Controlled Variable: The factors kept the same.
Graphs
- Line Graphs: Plot data points, connect them with a line, label axes.
- Bar Charts: Bars represent data categories. Label axes, spacing between the categories.
