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.
