General Chemistry (CHE 101) Topics Breakdown Part I  Chemistry: The Study of Change (Chapter 1)  Atoms, Molecules and Ions (Chapter 2)  Quantum Theory and the Electronic Structure of Atoms (Chapter 7) &  Periodic Relationships Among the Elements (Chapter 8) Topics Breakdown Part I  Chemistry: The Study of Change (Q -1)  Atoms, Molecules and Ions (Q -1)  Quantum Theory and the Electronic Structure of Atoms (Q -2) &  Periodic Relationships Among the Elements (Q -2) Chapter 1 Chemistry : The study of change Chemistry...? …is a subdivision of physical science that focuses on what happens when the electron cloud of one substance encounters the electron cloud of another An atom A Sodium atom - Na Na Another atom A Chlorine atom - Cl Cl When they collide…i.e., when two atoms collide… Na Cl When two atoms collide… Electrons may be transferred (ionization occurs!) Cl- Na+ e- When two atoms collide… Electrons may be transferred (ionization occurs!) Cl- Na+ e- An ionic Bond When two H-atoms collide… H H When two H-atoms collide… Electrons may be shared H e- H e- When two H-atoms collide… Electrons may be shared A covalent bond H H Build your Molecules https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/build-a-molecule/latest/build-a- molecule_en.html When two H2-molecules collide… Electrons may repel each other H2 2e- 2e- H2 When two H2-molecules collide… Electrons may repel each other H2 2e- 2e- H2 When two H2-molecules collide… Electrons may repel each other H2 2e- 2e- H2 When atoms/molecules collide… We’ll study how to predict which of the Three Possibilities happens Chemistry is the central science Chemistry Chemistry is the central science Sub-atomic physics Chemistry 10 -10 m Chemistry is the central science Sub-atomic Traditional physics Chemistry physics 10 -10 m 10 -9 m When two atoms/molecules collide… Length of the covalent bond is in the specified range A covalent bond ~ 10-10 m The Scientific Method  Science is dynamic -- it’s just our “current understanding”  Involves observation and measurements  Science attempts to identify variables that control a situation  The lack of scientific understanding leaves you vulnerable to being duped. The Scientific Method Observations Hypothesis Experiments Two aspects of chemical reactions...  Kinetics - how fast the reaction occurs &  Thermodynamics - the direction in which the reaction proceeds and the degree of completeness when the action stops Matter  Has mass (measured as weight)  Occupies space (measured as volume) Energy  Rest of the “normal stuff” in the universe is energy, e.g., light  Matter and energy are related E = mc2 Modern astrophysics suggests…  Matter and energy are about 5% of the universe  Dark matter is another 25%  Dark Energy is the remaining 70%  Or we don’t quite understand how physics works at a universal scale! Changes in Chemistry Chemical changes  Chemical bonds are broken  Atoms rearrange themselves  New chemical bonds form Chemical changes  Chemical bonds are broken  Atoms rearrange themselves  New chemical bonds form C3H8 + 5 O2 Propane Molecular gas oxygen Chemical changes  Chemical bonds are broken  Atoms rearrange themselves  New chemical bonds form C3H8 + 5 O2 3 CO2 + 4 H2O Propane Molecular Carbon Water gas oxygen dioxide vapor Physical changes  Associated with changes in state (gas, liquid, solid, solution)  No chemical changes occur Water freezes to ice Ice melts to water (It’s H2O before and after) Sugar dissolves in water Water evaporates leaving sugar (It’s C12H22O11 before and after) A burning Candle is… 1. A chemical change 2. A physical change 3. Both A burning Candle is… 1. A chemical change 2. A physical change 3. Both Most real-world processes involve both kinds  When a candle burns…  Heat from the flame melts (physical change) and pyrolyzes (chemical change) wax components into gaseous vapors  Vapors burn with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water (chemical change) Phases of Fire Phases of Fire Paraffin wax Phases of Fire Phases of Fire Phases of Fire Fuel vapor cloud forms from melting of solid wax and pyrolysis of paraffin wax (e.g., C18) to shorter fragments (e.g., C2 - C 5 ) Phases of Fire Heat from the flame provides energy to start breaking bonds in fuel and O2 so that energy- releasing rearrangements can occur Phases of Fire A flame forms around the wick as a ball of hot fuel gases that come in contact with the air at the edges Phases of Fire Let’s zoom in for a closer look here A flame forms around the wick as a ball of hot fuel gases that come in contact with the air at the edges Phases of Fire A reaction zone forms where fuel vapors and O2 come into contact. Phases of Fire Ethene, a gaseous C2 fragment H H C=C O=O H H A reaction zone forms where fuel vapors and O2 come into contact. Phases of Fire O=C=O + H-O-H H H C=C O=O H H CO2 and H2O are produced as products. They dissipate in the turbulent mixing above the flame Flaming combustion occurs in the gas phase Phases of Fire The interior of the fuel vapor ball contains soot particles (little balls of solid carbon) that are heated to various temperatures -- yellow hotter than orange hotter than red Phases of Fire 1400oC 800oC The interior of the fuel vapor ball contains soot particles (little balls of solid carbon) that are heated to various temperatures -- yellow hotter than orange hotter than red Phases of Fire When local turbulence disturbs the reaction zone envelope, some unburned soot particles escape as cool black smoke particulates that are less than 1 micron (micrometer) in diameter Black soot is most prevalent in turbulent flaming combustion zones Numbers in Chemistry The numbers associated with atoms often get too big or too small to be convenient to write in decimal notation Exponential Notation  We’ll use exponential notation to make it simpler  Scientific notation is best for our purposes – it places a decimal after the first non-zero digit The number of copper atoms in a pre-1982 penny...
