INORGANIC CHEMISTRY INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY The behavior of atoms, molecules, and ions determines the sort of world we live in, our shapes and sizes, and even how we feel on a given day. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER MODULE 2: MATTER- ITS STATES, CLASSIFICATION, CHANGES & TRANSITION. MATTER: anything that has mass and occupies space MASS refers to the amount of matter present in a sample. Matter can be changed into energy and energy into matter. o Energy as the ability to do work, or to move matter. o All forms of energy exhibit both Kinetic (moving) and Potential (stored). FORMS OF ENERGY CHEMICAL ENERGY – is stored in the bonds of a chemical substances. ELECTRICAL ENERGY – results from the movement of charged particles. MECHANICAL ENERGY – directly involved in moving matter. RADIANT ENERGY - is the form of energy associated with the movement of light, electromagnetic waves or particles. NUCLEAR ENERGY- is the energy released when the nuclei of atoms are split or fused. THERMAL ENERGY- is heat energy, or the energy of moving or vibrating molecules. STATES OF MATTER (a) A solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. (b) A liquid has an indefinite shape—it takes the shape of its container—and a definite volume. (c) A gas has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume—it assumes the shape and volume of its container. Plasma state is the 4th state of matter. It has hot ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons from atoms or molecules and to allow both species i.e. ions or electrons to co-exist. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensate) is the 5th state of matter of a dilute gas of bosons cooled to a temperature very close to absolute zero. Under such conditions, a large fraction of bosons occupy the lowest quantum state, at which point macroscopic quantum phenomena become apparent. For example, Helium, they are amazingly cold, too close to 270∘C or zero kelvin. The main difference between plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate is that the plasma state contains a gas of ions and free electrons, whereas Bose-Einstein condensate contains a gas of bosons at low densities, which is cooled to a low temperature close to absolute zero. SUMMARY TABLE FOR STATES OF MATTER PROPERTIES OF MATTER A property is a distinguishing characteristic of a substance that is used in its identification and description Two categories: A. PHYSICAL PROPERTY is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the basic identity of the substance. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER Common physical properties include color, odor, physical state (solid, liquid, or gas), melting point, boiling point, and hardness During the process of determining a physical property, the physical appearance of a substance may change, but the substance’s identity does not. B. CHEMICAL PROPERTY A chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes the way the substance undergoes, or resists change to form a new substance. For example, copper objects turn green when exposed to moist air for long periods of time, this is a chemical property of copper. The green coating formed on the copper is a new substance that results from the copper’s reaction with oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water present in air. The properties of this new substance (the green coating) are very different from those of metallic copper. On the other hand, gold objects resist change when exposed to air for long periods of time. The lack of reactivity of gold with air is a chemical property of gold. SUBCLASSIFICATION Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER CHANGES IN MATTER A physical change is a process in which a substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical composition. A chemical change is a process in which a substance undergoes a change in chemical composition Describe what change/s is/are happening with the scenario Answer: This illustration depicts both physical and chemical change. Melting of the wax in an example physical change. The wax can be molded again to form a new candle. However, burning the wick of the candle is an example of chemical change. The white wick will eventually burn and become black until consumed which is irreversible. CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER A pure substance is a single kind of matter that cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by any physical means. All samples of a pure substance contain only that substance and nothing else. A pure substance always has a definite and constant composition A mixture is a physical combination of two or more pure substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity. Components of a mixture retain their identity because they are physically mixed rather than chemically combined. Consider a mixture of small rock salt crystals and ordinary sand. Mixing these two substances changes neither the salt nor the sand in any way. The larger, colorless salt particles are easily distinguished from the smaller, light-gray sand granules A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains visibly different phases (parts), each of which has different properties. A nonuniform appearance is a characteristic of all heterogeneous mixtures. Examples include chocolate chip cookies and blueberry muffins. Naturally occurring heterogeneous mixtures include rocks, soils, and wood A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that contains only one visibly distinct phase (part), which has uniform properties throughout. The components present in a homogeneous mixture cannot be visually distinguished. A sugar–water mixture in which all of the sugar has dissolved has an appearance similar to that of pure water. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases; motor oil and gasoline are multicomponent homogeneous mixtures of liquids; and metal alloys such as 14-karat gold (a mixture of copper and gold) are examples of homogeneous mixtures of solids. TRANSITION OF MATTER happens when a substance changes from a solid, liquid, or gas state to a different state. Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER SUMMARY Matter anything that has mass and occupies space Mass refers to the amount of matter present in a sample. Matter can be changed into energy and energy into matter. Forms of energy include Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Radiant, Thermal & Nuclear. Commonly, three physical states exist for matter: solid, liquid, and gas. But as science progresses, additional states were discovered such as plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. Properties of matter are of two general types: physical and chemical Physical properties of matter may be classified as to INTENSIVE or EXTENSIVE property Changes in matter can happen in 2 manners, physically and chemically. In addition to its classification by physical state, matter can also be classified in terms of its chemical composition as a pure substance or as a mixture Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Lecture) MODULE 2 - MATTER Phase transition happens when a substance changes from a solid, liquid, or gas state to a different state. INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEM LEC – MODULE 3: MEASUREMENTS IN CHEMISTRY MEASUREMENTS IN CHEMISTRY MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS What is a Measurement? o Measurement is the determination of the dimensions, capacity, quantity, or extent of something. Systems of Measurements o English System (commerce): inch, foot, pound, quart, and gallon o Metric System (scientific work): gram, meter, and liter More convenient to use (decimal unit system).

A measurement always has some degree of uncertainty. Record the certain digits and the first uncertain digit (the estimated number). Consider These Rulers Measurements made with ruler A will have greater uncertainty than those made with ruler B. A cube 10 cm on a side has a volume of 1000 cm3, which is equal to 1 L. A cube 1 cm on a side has a volume of 1 cm3, which is equal to 1 mL.

Zeros that perform the first function are not significant, and zeros that perform the second function are significant. When zeros are present in a measured number, we follow these rules: ▪ Leading zeros are zeros that are at the beginning of a number. These do not count as significant figures. o 0.048 has 2 significant figures. ▪ Confined zeros are zeros between nonzero digits. These always count as 2.

If the first digit to be deleted is 5 or greater, that digit and all that follow are dropped, and the last retained digit is increased by one. ▪ 7.86541 becomes 7.87 (for 3 sig figs). Operational Rules INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEM LEC – MODULE 3: MEASUREMENTS IN CHEMISTRY Converting from Decimal to Scientific Notation ▪ The decimal point in the decimal number is moved to the position behind (to the right of) the first nonzero digit. ▪ The exponent for the exponential term is equal to the number of places the decimal point has moved. o 300. written as 3.00 × 102 (three The total volume is 3.1 mL. significant figures) The first graduated cylinder limits the o 0.004890 written as 4.890 × 10–3 precision of this number with a volume of (four significant figures) 2.8 mL. The second graduated cylinder has a volume of 0.28 mL. Therefore, the final volume must be 3.1 mL since the first volume is limited to the tenths place. Exact Numbers ▪ Because exact numbers have no uncertainty associated with them, they possess an unlimited number of significant figures. o 1 inch = 2.54 cm, exactly. o 9 pencils (obtained by counting). ▪ Exact numbers never limit the The exponent is positive if the original decimal number of significant figures in a number is 10 or greater and is negative if the computational answer. original decimal number is less than 1.

Density as a Conversion Factor ▪ Density can be used as a conversion factor that relates the volume of a substance to its mass. TEMPERATURE SCALES INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEM LEC – MODULE 3: MEASUREMENTS IN CHEMISTRY Three Systems for Measuring Temperature for the freezing point of water and 212 for the normal boiling point of water. ▪ Celsius - divides the range between the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point Besides the boiling and freezing point for water, a (100°C) of water into 100 degrees. third reference point is shown in Figure 2.10 for each of the temperature scales—normal human ▪ Kelvin - SI base unit of temperature: It is body temperature the absolute temperature scale Conversions Between Temperature Scales ▪ Fahrenheit - defines the normal freezing and boiling points of water to be exactly ▪ Because the size of the degree is the 32°F and 212°F, respectively. same, the relationship between the Kelvin and Celsius scales is very simple. The Three Major Temperature Scales No conversion factors are needed; all that is required is an adjustment for the differing numerical scale values. ▪ The adjustment factor is 273, the number of degrees by which the two scales are offset from one another. The Celsius scale is the scale most commonly ▪ The relationship between the Fahrenheit encountered in scientific work. The normal boiling and Celsius scales can also be stated in and freezing points of water serve as reference an equation format. points on this scale, the former having a value of 100 and the latter 0. Thus, there are 100 “degree intervals” between the two reference points The Kelvin scale is a close relative of the Celsius scale. Both have the same size degree, and the number of degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water is the same. The two scales differ only in the numbers assigned to the reference points. On the Kelvin scale, the boiling point of water is 373 kelvins (K) and the freezing point of water is 273 K. The choice of these reference points makes all temperature readings on the Kelvin scale positive values. Note that the degree sign () is not used with the Kelvin scale. For example, we say that an object has a temperature of 350 K (not 350K). The Fahrenheit scale has a smaller degree size than the other two temperature scales. On this scale, there are 180 degrees between the Exercise: freezing and boiling points of water as contrasted to 100 degrees on the other two scales. Thus, the ▪ At what temperature does C = F?

Answers: a. 11 protons; b. 12 neutrons; c. 11 electrons Compute what is asked and fill in the table with the correct mass number, number of electrons, neutrons, and protons. # of protons = atomic number # of electrons = atomic number # of neutrons = mass number – atomic number ISOTOPES, ISOBARS AND ISOTONES Isotopes atoms of an element that have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons but different numbers of neutrons Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties, but their physical properties are often slightly different. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons. They have slightly different physical properties because they have different numbers of neutrons and therefore different masses.

Isobars INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LEC – ATOMS AND ITS PROPONENTS 4 different elements have the same atomic weight or mass number but different atomic number Isotones different elements having the same number of neutrons QUANTUM NUMBERS Three numbers are derived from the mathematical solution of the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom: the principal quantum number (n) the angular momentum quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (ml) 1. The principal quantum number (n) n = 1, 2, 3, 4, …. The value of n determines the energy of an orbital and relates to the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in a particular orbital The larger n is, the greater the average distance of an electron in the orbital from the nucleus and therefore the larger the orbital.

For example, when a hydrogen atom with a single electron passes through the field, it is deflected in one direction or the other, depending on the direction of the spin. In a stream consisting of many atoms, there will be equal distributions of the two kinds of spins, so that two spots of equal intensity are detected on the screen. Pauli exclusion principle Four quantum numbers characterize each electron no two electrons in an atom can have the in an atom: same four quantum numbers. the principal quantum number n identifies the main energy level, or shell, of the orbital the angular momentum quantum number ℓ indicates the shape of the orbital; the magnetic quantum number mℓ specifies the orientation of the orbital in space the electron spin quantum number ms indicates the direction of the electron’s spin on its own axis.

So, they sought reasons for these similarities in the hope that these similarities would suggest a method for arranging or classifying the elements.

The Periodic Law This law states that when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, elements with similar chemical properties occur at periodic intervals. Note! The term "Periodic" means regularly occurring Johann Dobereiner Before establishing the modern periodic table that we know, many scientists in the He classified core elements into groups past have attempted to organize the of three, which he called triads. elements.

Among the more familiar metals are the elements iron, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, lead thin, and zinc ATOMIC RADIUS NONMETALS The measure of the size of the element's atoms It is an element without luster, thermal The distance from the nucleus to the conductivity, electrical conductivity, and boundary of the surrounding cloud of malleability. electrons Many nonmetals, such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and noble gases, are The atomic radius is one-half the distance gases. between the nuclei of two atoms (just like a radius The only nonmetal that is a liquid at room is half the diameter of a circle).

Nevertheless, it is possible for a vast majority of elements to METALLOID form covalent molecules in which two like atoms are held together by a single covalent bond.

CHEML-MODULE 5 – PERIODIC TABLE AND ITS 09/10/2024 ELEMENTS Atomic size gradually decreases from left to right Compare Aluminum and Fluorine based on across a period of elements. This is because, electronegativity. within a period or family of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell. However, at the ANSWER: Fluorine has higher same time, protons are being added to the electronegativity nucleus, making it more positively charged. The effect of increasing proton number is greater than that of the increasing electron number; therefore, there is a greater nuclear attraction. This means that the nucleus attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling the atom's shell closer to the nucleus. The valence electrons are held closer towards the nucleus of the atom. As a result, the atomic radius decreases. Down a group, atomic radius increases. The valence electrons occupy higher levels due to the increasing quantum number (n). As a result, the valence electrons are further away from the nucleus as ‘n’ increases. Electron shielding prevents these outer electrons from being attracted to the nucleus; thus, they are loosely held, and the resulting atomic radius is large. IONIZATION ENERGY TRENDS: Energy required to remove electrons Atomic radius decreases from left to right from gaseous atoms or ions within a period. This is caused by Measure of the tendency of an atom or the increase in the number of protons ion to surrender an electron or the and electrons across a period. One strength of electron binding proton has a greater effect than one Also called ionization potential electron; thus, electrons are pulled Measured in volts towards the nucleus, resulting in a smaller radius. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by electron shielding. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom in its gaseous phase. Conceptually, ionization energy is the opposite of electronegativity. The lower this energy is, the more readily the atom becomes a cation. Therefore, the higher this energy is, the more unlikely it is the atom becomes a cation.

ELECTRON AFFINITY ELECTRONEGATIVITY Change in energy in kJ/mole of a neutral The tendency of an atom to attract a atom (in the gaseous phase) when an shared pair of electrons or electron electron is added to the atom to form a density towards itself negative ion It is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus Compare Lithium and Potassium in terms of atomic radius Answer: Potassium has higher atomic radius Compare Aluminum and Fluorine based on electronegativity. Answer: Fluorine has higher electronegativity Electron affinity is the ability of an atom to accept an electron. Unlike electronegativity, electron Electronegativity measures an atom's tendency affinity is a quantitative measurement of the to attract and form bonds with electrons. This energy change that occurs when an electron is property exists due to the electronic configuration added to a neutral gas atom. The more negative of atoms. Most atoms follow the octet rule (having the electron affinity value, the higher an atom's the valence, or outer, shell comprise of 8 affinity for electrons. electrons). Because elements on the left side of the periodic table have less than a half-full Electron affinity generally decreases down a valence shell, the energy required to gain group of elements because each atom is larger electrons is significantly higher compared with the CHEML-MODULE 5 – PERIODIC TABLE AND ITS 09/10/2024 ELEMENTS energy required to lose electrons. As a result, the ry/Periodic_Trends_of_Elemental_Properties/Pe elements on the left side of the periodic table riodic_Trends generally lose electrons when forming bonds. Conversely, elements on the right side of the periodic table are more energy-efficient in gaining electrons to create a complete valence shell of 8 electrons. The nature of electronegativity is effectively described thus: the more inclined an atom is to gain electrons, the more likely that atom will pull electrons toward itself. From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one. From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius. Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values. As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements. According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units REFERENCE ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS: https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Inorgani c_Chemistry/Supplemental_Modules_and_Webs ites_(Inorganic_Chemistry)/Descriptive_Chemist
