Study Notes

Adaptation and Triads

  • Elements can be grouped into triads based on similar physical and chemical properties.

Kekulé Contributions

  • Introduced the concept of bonds in carbon.
  • Identified carbon bonds with a ratio of 1:4, foundational to benzene structure.
  • Developed the theory of chemical structure.
  • McMurry introduced modern rules for naming chemical structures.

Newlands' Periodic Law

  • Proposed in the 1860s that elements listed by increasing atomic weight exhibit repeating properties every eight elements.
  • Established the basis for modern periodic classification of elements.

Lithium (Li) Properties and Uses

  • Lightest solid metal; found in various compounds like lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) for bipolar disorder.
  • Acts as a reducing agent and is a component of Lithia water.
  • Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) absorbs carbon dioxide; used in spacesuits and air conditioning systems.
  • Lithium citrate (Li3C6H5O7) and lithium bromide (LiBr) used in psychiatric treatment.

Sodium (Na) Overview

  • 6th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, known as Salarium.
  • Critical for biological and metabolic functions.

Copper (Cu) Characteristics

  • Known as cuprum; only reddish metal; 3rd most malleable and 2nd best electrical conductor.
  • Forms important alloys like brass (Cu+Zn) and bronze (Cu+Sn).
  • Used in hemocyanin, a respiratory pigment, linked to Wilson’s disease, a toxicity condition.

Properties of Cesium (Cs)

  • Discovered using a spectroscope; has a yellow color.
  • Highly malleable; used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Significance

  • Essential for photosynthesis in plants; regulates systemic pH.
  • High concentrations can be lethal due to its role in anaerobic respiration.

Silicon (Si) Characteristics

  • 2nd most abundant element; toxicity leads to silicosis, resembling tuberculosis symptoms after prolonged exposure.
  • Used in manufacturing processes, including adhesives and coatings.

Cupic Sulfate (CuSO4.5H2O)

  • Known as blue vitriol; used in various chemical tests and as an antidote for phosphorus poisoning.

Sulfur (S) Overview

  • Called "sufra" in Arabic, meaning yellow.
  • Used in preparing scabicidal and keratolytic lotions, as well as in forming various compounds.

Bismuth Salts Importance

  • Include compounds like bismuth subcarbonate and bismuth subgallate.
  • Function as antacids, astringents, and antiseptics; used in treating gastrointestinal conditions.

General Uses of Sulfur Varieties

  • Amorphous sulfur, or liquid sulfur, utilized in various applications, including fumigants and anti-dandruff treatments.
