Study Notes

Molecules and Compounds

  • Molecules are combinations of two or more atoms strongly bonded, behaving as a single particle.
  • A molecule is the smallest part of a substance with its physical and chemical properties.
  • Molecules are made of more than one atom.
  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound made of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).
  • Sodium is a highly reactive metal.
  • Chlorine is a pale yellow, corrosive gas.
  • These elements react to form salt, with different properties from its individual elements.
  • Salt is essential for life, maintaining body fluids and nerve function.
  • Sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) is a carbohydrate, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
  • Sugar has different properties than its elements
  • Compounds have a constant composition, unlike mixtures.
  • A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
  • Chemical reactions involve changes in composition (formation of different compounds).
  • A chemical change is a change that produces matter with a different composition .
  • Chemical formulas show the elements and ratios in a compound.
  • If only one atom of an element is present, no subscript is used.
  • If more than one atom, a subscript is written after the symbol.
  • Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms bonded together with an overall charge.

Chemical Formulas

  • Chemical formulas show the elements and their proportions in a compound.
  • Water (H₂O) has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
  • Molecular formulas list the exact number of atoms in a molecule (e.g., NH₃ has one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms)
  • Empirical formulas show the elements in their simplest whole-number ratio (e.g., glucose CH₂O)

A Molecular View of Elements and Compounds

  • Elements can exist as individual atoms (e.g., Fe), or as molecules with multiple atoms (e.g., O₂).
  • Molecular elements have two or more atoms of the same element bonded together (e.g., O₂, N₂).
  • Molecular compounds are formed when different nonmetals bond, such as water (H₂O)
  • Ionic compounds are composed of a metal and nonmetal (e.g., NaCl).

Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds

  • Ionic compounds are electrically neutral (overall charge of zero).
  • The crisscross method involves swapping the numerical values of the ionic charges as subscripts for each ion (e.g., Pb²⁺ and O²⁻ form PbO₂).
  • Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms bonded together with a charge, and appear in parentheses in formulas (e.g., SO₄²⁻).

Nomenclature/Naming Compounds

  • Naming is a system for identifying chemical compounds unambiguously
  • Binary ionic compounds (metal and nonmetal) are named by stating the cation followed by the anion. (e.g., NaCl is sodium chloride ).
  • Naming Oxyacids: Some naming rules apply to compounds containing oxyanions (polyatomic anions containing oxygen).

Formula Mass

  • Formula mass is the sum of the atomic mass of all atoms in a formula.
  • Calculate the mass of the constituent atoms
  • For ionic compounds, the formula unit mass is used.
  • For molecular compounds, the molecular mass is used.
  • Example of calculating the formula mass of NaCl:
  • Na= 22.99 amu
  • Cl= 35.45 amu
  • Total= 58.43 amu

Hydrates

  • Hydrates are ionic compounds that hold water molecules in their crystal structure.
  • The water molecules are indicated in the formula using a dot (e.g., CuSO₄∙5H₂O)
