Energy and Matter - Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. - Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. - Energy can be transferred between objects or converted into different forms. - The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. - The relationship between energy and matter is described by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc². Various ways of identifying Isotopes Intensive vs Extensive Properties a) Using atomic notation - Intensive properties are independent of the amount of Ex: 126 C or simply 12 C matter present. (temperature, color, density). b) Using mass notation - Extensive properties depend on Ex: Carbon-12 or C-12 the amount of matter present (mass, (read “carbon twelve” or “C volume, energy). twelve”) General Chemistry I – First Periodical Examination Reviewer Finding the Number of Protons – radiation (tracers, The number of protons in an atom is biopharmaceuticals). equal to the atomic number of the element. - Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity is Finding the Number of Electrons easy to detect. - The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the atomic number - A tracer is a substance that can be of an element, for neutrally charged used to follow the pathway of that species. This means the number of substance through some structure. electrons and the number of protons For instance, leaks in underground in an element are equal. water pipes can be discovered by running some tritium (H-3)-)- Finding the Number of Neutrons - containing water through the pipes The number of neutrons in an atom and then using a Geiger counter to can be calculated by subtracting the locate any radioactive tritium atomic number from the atomic subsequently present in the ground mass. around the pipes.

Industry hospital patients who have impaired immune systems. - Radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes or radionuclides or radioactive nuclides) are used in two major ways: either for their radiation alone (irradiation, nuclear batteries) or for the combination of chemical properties and their General Chemistry I – First Periodical Examination Reviewer Lesson 3: Writing Ions Ions - are atoms, or groups of atoms, with a charge (positive or Ion – an atom that has gained or negative). They have different lost electrons, formed when numbers of protons and electrons. electrons are exchanged in the formation of an ionic compound. Only electrons can move, and ions are made by gaining or losing I. Monoatomic ion – a single electrons. atom that has gained or lost electrons Predicting Ionic Charges a) Cation - formed when a i.

Balance charges, if necessary, using - Indicate their charge as a Roman subscripts. Use parentheses if you numeral in parenthesis after the need more than one of a polyatomic name of the metal (Use your Ion ion. Use the criss-cross method to Sheet) balance subscripts. - Exceptions: Some of the transition metals have only one ionic charge: Do not need to use Roman numerals for these: ✓ Silver is always 1+ (Ag1+) ✓ Cadmium and Zinc are always 2+ (Cd2+ and Zn2+) Naming Anions - Anions are always the same charge - Change the monatomic element ending to – ide Polyatomic ions - Groups of atoms that stay together and have an overall charge and one name. Naming Ionic Compounds - Usually end in –ate or -ite 1. Name the cation first, then a) Sulfite - SO32- the anion. b) Chromate - CrO42- 2.

If anions end in -ide they are probably off the periodic - One exception is we don’t write table (Monoatomic). mono if there is only one of the first elements. III. If an anion ends in -ate or – ite, then it is polyatomic. Lesson 4 (d): Naming and Writing Formulas for Acids and Bases Lesson 4 (c): Naming and Writing Formulas for Molecular Compounds Acid Molecular Compounds - Compounds that give off hydrogen ions (H1+) when dissolved in water - Made of just non-metals (the Arrhenius definition) - The smallest piece is a molecule - Will start the formula with H. - Can’t be held together by opposite - There will always be some charge attraction Hydrogen next to an anion. General Chemistry I – First Periodical Examination Reviewer - The anion determines the name. a) HClO2 (Hydrogen Chlorite) is chlorous acid, then HClO Rules for Naming Acids: Name it would be hypochlorous acid as a normal compound first Writing Acid Formulas 1. If the anion attached to hydrogen ends in -ide, put the 1. Hydrogen will be listed first. prefix hydro- and change -ide to -ic acid 2. The name will tell you the anion. HCl - hydrogen ion and chloride ion = hydrochloric acid 3. Be sure the charges cancel out. H2S hydrogen ion and sulfide ion = hydrosulfuric acid 4. Starts with prefix hydro? - there is no oxygen, -ide - If the anion has oxygen in it, then it ending for anion. ends in -ate or -ite 5. No prefix hydro? 2. Change the suffix -ate to -ic acid -ate anion comes from –ic (use no prefix) ending Example: HNO3 Hydrogen and -ite anion comes from –ous nitrate ions = Nitric acid ending 3. Change the suffix -ite to -ous Names and Formulas for Bases acid (use no prefix) - A base is an ionic compound that Example: HNO2 Hydrogen and produces hydroxide ions (OH1-) nitrite ions = Nitrous acid when dissolved in water (the Arrhenius definition) 4. If the acid has 1 more oxygen than the –ic acid, add the prefix - Bases are named the same way as per- other ionic compounds: a) HClO3 (Hydrogen Chlorate) - The name of the cation (which is a is chloric acid metal) is followed by the name of the anion (which will be hydroxide). b) HClO4 would be perchloric acid - To write the formula: i. Write the symbol for the 5. If there is 1 less oxygen than the metal cation -ous acid, add the prefix hypo- ii. Followed by the formula for the hydroxide ion (OH1-) General Chemistry I – First Periodical Examination Reviewer iii. Then use the criss-cross - Is the percent by mass of each method to balance the element in a formula charges. - First, figure out the total mass of each element to get the Formula Mass.

A Roman numeral after the mass) name of a cation is the ionic charge of the cation - Exception: Formula when the grams are given Lesson 5: Chemical Quantities – Percent 0⁄ 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝 = 𝑚 (1 mol) 0 (𝑔)−> Composition (grams E) General Chemistry I – First Periodical Examination Reviewer M(g) = mass of the element in grams The limiting reactant determines how much product is produced. E = element Once the limiting reactant is used up the reaction stops. Lesson 7: Stoichiometry The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that could be formed, based on the Road Map limiting reactant. Solving Limiting Reactant Problems - When you are given amounts of two or more reactants you MUST treat it as a limiting reactant problem. - To Solve: Do the 4 steps of stoichiometry with each amount of reactant, solving for the same product. - The reactant that produces the least amount of product (theoretical Lesson 8: Limiting Reactants and yield) is the limiting reactant. Excess Lesson 9: Gas Laws Stoichiometric amounts of reactants mean they are present in a mole ratio that corresponds exactly Gas law discovers and tackles the to the mole ratio predicted by the relationship of pressure, balanced chemical equation. temperature, volume, and amount of gas. This means that when a reaction is complete, there are no reactants left. I. Boyle’s Law The reactant, which is completely - Relationship between pressure and used up in a chemical reaction is volume called the limiting reactant. - Inverse relationship (As the volume of the gas increases, the Reactants that remain after the pressure decreases – vice versa) limiting reaction is over are called excess reactants. General Chemistry I – First Periodical Examination Reviewer II. Charle’s Law - Relationship between volume and temperature - Direct relationship (As the temperature increases, the volume increases – vice versa) III. Avogadro’s Law - Relationship between volume and gas (number of moles) - Direct relationship - For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant. IV. PV=nRT - The ideal gas law relates the macroscopic properties of ideas gases. - sets variables of that gas's pressure (P) times volume (V) equal to the amount in moles (n) of that gas multiplied by the ideal gas constant (R – 0.0821) multiplied by its temperature (T).
