This law states that if a compound is combustion experiment. [in which he broken down into its constituent observed that the mass of his original substance—a glass vessel, tin, and air—was equal to the mass of the produced substance—the elements, the masses of the constituents ] glass vessel, “tin calx”, and the remaining air. will always have the same proportions, regardless of the quantity or source of the "the atoms of an object cannot be created original substance. The illustration below or destroyed, but can be moved around and show this law in a given scenario. be changed into different particles." When a chemical reaction rearranges atoms into a new product, the mass of the reactants (chemicals before the chemical reaction) is the same as the mass of the products (the new chemicals made). More If 1 simply, whatever you do, you will still have the same amount of stuff (however, certain nuclear reactions like fusion and fission can convert a small part of the mass into energy. gram of A reacts with 8 grams of B, then The law of conservation of mass states by the Law of Definite Proportions, 2 that the total mass present before a grams of A must react with 16 grams of B. chemical reaction is the same as the total If 1 gram of A reacts with 8 grams of B, mass present after the chemical reaction; then by the Law of Conservation of Mass, in other words, mass is conserved. they must produce 9 grams of C. Similarly, when 2 grams of A react with 16 grams of B, they must produce 18 grams of C. Law of Multiple Proportion combines with unit mass (1 g) of nitrogen. There are diverse elements that can react Line is obtained by dividing the figures to form more than one compound. In the previous line by the smallest O:N ratio such situations, this law states that the in the line above, which is the one for weights of one element that combine with N2O. Note that just as the law of multiple a fixed weight of another of these proportions says, the weight of oxygen elements are integer multiples of one that combines with unit weight of another. In the example below, nitrogen nitrogen work out to small integers. forms a very large number of oxides, five of which are shown in the image. Dalton’s Atomic Theory Dalton's Theory was a powerful development as it explained the three fundamental laws and recognized a workable distinction between the fundamental particle of an element (atom) and that of a compound (molecule). Four postulates are involved in Dalton's Atomic Theory: All matter consists of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements. Atoms of different elements may combine with each other in Linealtshows the ratio of the relative a fixed, simple, whole number ratios to weights of the two elements in each form compound atoms. In a chemical compound. These ratios were calculated reaction, atoms are rearranged to form by simply taking the molar mass of each new compounds; they are not created, element, and multiplying by the number destroyed nor changed into atoms of of atoms of that element per mole of the different element. compound. Thus for NO2, we have (1 × 14) : (2 × 16) = 13:32. (These numbers were not 3.2 Atomic Number, Mass known in the early days of Chemistry Number, Isotopes, Molecules because atomic weights (i.e., molar masses) of most elements were not and Ions reliably known.) The numbers in Linealtare just the mass ratios of O:N, Atomic numbers, AMss number and found by dividing the corresponding Isotopes ratios in line 1. But someone who depends solely on experiment would work these out by finding the mass of O that Molecules are the fundamental building blocks of life. Water for example is very essential that life on Earth would not exist without it. Proteins that make up all The nuclei of an atom contain neutrons functions, regulations and structure in as well as protons. Unlike protons, the the body are also comprise of molecules. number of neutrons is not absolutely So, in order for us to understand life itself fixed for most elements. Atoms that we need a thorough knowledge of how have the same number of protons, and atoms combine to form molecules and in hence the same atomic number, but turn form life. Of all the elements, only different numbers of neutrons are called the six noble gases in Group 8A of the isotopes. All isotopes of an element periodic table (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn) have the same number of protons and exist in nature as single atoms. Most electrons, which means they exhibit the matter is composed of molecules or ions same chemistry. Because different formed by atoms. A molecule is an isotopes of the same element haves aggregate of at least two atoms in a different number of neutrons, each of definite arrangement held together by these isotopes will have a different attractive forces (also called chemical mass number (A), which is the sum of bonds). A molecule may contain atoms of the number of protons and the number the same element or atoms of two or of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. more elements joined in a fixed ratio, in accordance with the law of definite mass number = number of protons + proportions stated. Thus, a molecule is number of neutrons not necessarily a compound, which, by definition, is made up of two or more elements. Hydrogen gas, for example, is a pure element, but it consists of molecules made up of two H atoms each. Water, on the other hand, is a molecular compound that contains hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of two H atoms and one O atom. Like atoms, molecules are electrically neutral. An ion is an atom or a group of atoms that has a net positive or negative charge. The number of positively charged shows the actual number of atoms of each protons in the nucleus of an atom element in the smallest unit of a remains the same during ordinary substance. Example: H2O2 This formula chemical changes (called chemical indicates that each hydrogen peroxide reactions), but negatively charged molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms electrons may be lost or gained. The loss and two oxygen atoms. The ratio of of one or more electrons from a neutral hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in this atom results in a cation, an ion with a net molecule is 2:2 or 1:1. positive charge. For example, a sodium atom (Na) can readily lose an electron to become a sodium cation, which is 4.2 Formula Writing and represented by Na1: nacl On the other hand, an anion is an ion whose net charge Naming of Metal-Nonmetal is negative due to an increase in the number of electrons. A chlorine atom (Cl), Atomic numbers, AMss number and for instance, can gain an electron to Isotopes become the chloride ion Cl2: cation 4 Empirical and Molecular Formula Chemical formulas are shorthand symbols for compounds. Types of Formulas 1. Empirical Formula - Ismplest formula of a compound reflects the simplest ratios of atoms in the compound - Tells us which elements are present and the simplest whole number ratio of their atoms, but not necessarily the actual number of atoms in a given molecule - HO 2.
