    Study Notes

    Key Concepts of Reactivity

    • Change is a central theme in understanding chemical reactions.
    • Consequences relate to the impacts of these changes, particularly on the environment.
    • Global issues like globalization and sustainability are interconnected with chemical reactivity.

    Learning Objectives

    • Identifying and naming simple chemical compounds, including ionic, covalent, and polyatomic compounds.
    • Writing chemical formulas and analyzing the elemental composition and atom ratios in compounds.
    • Balancing chemical equations by ensuring equal numbers of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.

    Naming Ionic Compounds

    • Ionic compounds consist of positive and negative ions; the positive ion is listed first in the formula.
    • Monatomic anions usually end in 'ide'; polyatomic ions have specific names.
    • Example: NaCl is identified as sodium chloride.

    Polyatomic Ions

    • Polyatomic ions typically include oxygen and have a negative charge.
    • Names often end in "ate" or "ite" based on the amount of oxygen.
    • Examples:
      • NO2- is nitrite
      • NO3- is nitrate
      • SO32- is sulfite
      • SO42- is sulfate
    • Exceptions include ions such as hydroxide (OH-) and cyanide (CN-).

    Elements with Multiple Cations

    • Some elements, like iron and copper, can form more than one type of cation; Roman numerals indicate the oxidation state.
    • Examples:
      • PbSO4 represents lead (II) sulfate, formed from Pb2+ and SO42-.
      • Pb(SO4)2 represents lead (IV) sulfate, formed from Pb4+.
      • Fe(OH)2 is iron (II) hydroxide, and Fe(OH)3 is iron (III) hydroxide.

    Examples of Ionic Compounds

    • Common ionic compounds include:
      • NaCl: sodium chloride
      • ZnF2: zinc fluoride
      • KOH: potassium hydroxide
      • Ca(NO3)2: calcium nitrate
      • BaSO3: barium sulfite
      • Al2(SO4)3: aluminum sulfate
      • Ca3(PO3)2: calcium phosphite
      • NH4Cl: ammonium chloride
      • (NH4)2CO3: ammonium carbonate

    Naming Covalent Compounds

    • The first element retains its name, and the second element's name ends in 'ide.'
    • Numerical prefixes indicate the quantity of elements in the compound.
    • Examples:
      • SF6 is sulfur hexafluoride.
      • P4O10 is tetraphosphorous decoxide.

    Acids

    • Hydrogen compounds that dissolve in water become acids, with specific naming rules:
      • "ite" changes to "ous."
      • "ate" changes to "ic."
    • Examples:
      • HCl is hydrochloric acid.
      • H2SO4 is sulfuric acid.
      • H3PO4 is phosphoric acid.

    Understanding Chemical Reactions

    • Chemical reactions demonstrate the transformation of reactants into products.
    • In the equation Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2:
      • Reactants (Zn and HCl) are on the left.
      • Products (ZnCl2 and H2) are on the right.

    Balancing Chemical Reactions

    • A balanced chemical equation reflects equal representation of each element on both sides.
    • Coefficients may be added to adjust the quantity of reactants and products.
    • Example balancing:
      • For BaCl2 + K3PO4 → Ba3(PO4)2 + KCl, coefficients of 3 for BaCl2 and 2 for K3PO4 ensure balance.
