Study Notes
Introduction to Chemistry
- The periodic table is a fundamental tool in chemistry, and it's recommended to print one out and familiarize yourself with it.
- The elements in Group 1 (alkali metals) tend to form ions with a positive one charge, while those in Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) form ions with a positive two charge.
Atoms and Molecules
- Elements can be composed of atoms or molecules.
- A pure element consists of one type of atom, while a compound consists of different types of atoms.
- Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine are examples of molecules, while zinc, iron, and aluminum are pure elements.
Metals, Non-metals, and Metalloids
- Elements can be classified as metals, non-metals, or metalloids based on their properties.
- Metals tend to conduct electricity, non-metals are insulators, and metalloids have intermediate properties.
- The periodic table can be used to identify metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
Compounds
- Compounds can be classified as ionic or molecular.
- Ionic compounds consist of ions, while molecular compounds consist of molecules.
- Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and non-metals, while molecular compounds are formed between non-metals.
Naming Compounds
- Molecular compounds are named based on the number of atoms of each element in the molecule.
- Ionic compounds are named based on the metal and non-metal ions, with Roman numerals used to indicate the charge on the metal ion.
- Polyatomic ions are ions that consist of multiple atoms, such as sulfate (SO42-) and hydroxide (OH-).
Examples of Compounds
- Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a molecular compound.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a molecular compound.
- Lithium bromide (LiBr) is an ionic compound.
- Potassium iodide (KI) is an ionic compound.
- Calcium oxide (CaO) is an ionic compound.
- Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) is an ionic compound.
Important Concepts
- Valence electrons: the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.
- Oxidation states: the charge on an atom in a compound.
- Roman numerals: used to indicate the charge on a metal ion in an ionic compound.
Examples to Try
- Naming molecular compounds: CO, N2O5
- Naming ionic compounds: MgBr2, CaO
- Identifying polyatomic ions: NO3-, PO43-
- Writing formulas for ionic compounds: iron(II) chloride, iron(III) chloride### Solving for Oxidation States
- To solve for Pb, set the equation equal to zero, considering the charge of oxygen (-2) and the total negative charge, which leads to the oxidation state of Pb being +4.
- The compound is named lead(IV) oxide.
Naming Ionic Compounds
- Cu2SO4 is named copper(I) sulfate.
- The oxidation state of copper is +1, confirmed by two methods:
- Equation method: 2Cu = +2, Cu = +1.
- Ion method: total positive charge = total negative charge, so 2Cu = +2, Cu = +1.
Writing Formulas of Compounds
- Molecular compounds: reverse the naming process.
- Phosphorus pentachloride: PCl5.
- Sulfur tetrafluoride: SF4.
- Nitrogen monoxide: NO.
- Ionic compounds: balance the charges of the ions.
- Potassium bromide: KBr.
- Aluminum sulfate: Al2(SO4)3.
- Potassium phosphate: K3PO4.
- Calcium iodide: CaI2.
- Iron(II) sulfide: FeS.
Isotopes
- Isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons) but differ in their mass number (number of protons + neutrons).
- Examples of isotopes:
- Carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons.
- Carbon-13: 6 protons, 7 neutrons, 6 electrons.
- Nitrogen-15: 7 protons, 8 neutrons, 7 electrons.
Ions
- Aluminum cation (Al+3): 13 protons, 14 neutrons, 10 electrons.
- Sulfur anion (S-2): 16 protons, 18 neutrons, 18 electrons.
Atomic Number and Mass Number
- Atomic number identifies the element.
- Mass number identifies the isotope within a certain type of element.
