**INORGANIC CHEMISTRY:GENERAL CHEMISTRY** **CHEMISTRY** - The **"central science"** - It is the study of matter including their -chemical and physical properties \- chemical and physical changes it undergoes \- energy changes that accompany those processes **CHEMISTRY: THE CENTRAL SCIENCE** **DIVISIONS OF CHEMISTRY** General Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Biochemistry Physical Chemistry Nuclear Chemistry Organic Chemistry Geological Chemistry **MATTER AND ATOMS** A. **MATTER** - Anything that occupies space and has mass - **Mass** (proportion of elements)**-**measure of quantity of matter - **Weight-** gravitational force of attraction exerted by the earth on a body **Note: Mass and weight are interchangeable** which means it can be put or used in place of each other and no one would know the difference. B. **PURE SUBSTANCES -- (**made up of one type of particle and have fixed structure with definite properties) - **ELEMENT** - A pure substance that can **no longer be chemically decomposed** - Simplest form of matter - 1 kind of material or atom - **COMPOUND** - Substance composed of two or more elements united chemically in definite proportion. **Note:** To create a compound, we need two elements. Compound= E+E **Example:** Elements**: Na+Cl=NaCl or table salt (a compound)** - **LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTIONS** (*[Joseph Proust]*) - a pure compound always consists of the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass C. **MIXTURE** - Composed of two or more substances that are not chemically combined - prepared from two or more pure substances NOT in fixed proportions and can be separated by physical means **[Classification of mixture based on Nature of Particles]** 1. **HOMOGENOUS** - mixture with only **ONE PHASE** - Consists of **uniform properties** throughout given samples - **Example**: NaCl dissolved in water **Note:** "**genous**"= origin and "**homo**"= same or 1 - We can make a homogenous mixture without 2 distinct components - **Example:** A solution wherein we add a solvent (often H~2~O) to a solute (NaCl- table salt) - **[Complete Dissolution-]** when there's no distinct layers appeared. 2. **HETEROGENOUS** - mixture with **MORE THAN ONE PHASES** - Consists of physically distinct parts - **Example**: Sand and water mixture - **Two distinct components can be seen** **[Classification of mixture based on Particle size]** 1. **Solution** - uniform mixture, composed of solute and solvent **Remember:** - The term **"dissolved/ dissociates "=** solution - **Particle size** affects the solubility. The **finer** the particle size, the higher the possibility of ***dissolution**.* 2. **Suspension**- aka Coarse (makapal) mixture \"finely divided solid materials distributed in a liquid\" 3. **Colloids** -particles of solute that are not broken down to the size of the molecules but are small enough to remain suspended and evenly dispersed throughout the medium **[Properties of Colloids]** - Tyndall effect- light scattering effect - Brownian motion- random motion by small particles suspended in the fluid - Adsorption - Charged **[SEPARATION OF MIXTURE]** - **Decantation** - Difference in specific gravity (depends on the gravity) - **Example**: Oil+Water - **Distillation** -the process of separating the components of a liquid mixture through selective evaporation and followed by condensation - **Evaporization** - escape of molecules from the liquid state to the gaseous state/vapor state - Conversion from liquid to gas= steam. We increase hot temperature to do this. - **Condensation**- gasliquid. We decrease temperature to cold. - **Magnetic separation** -- metals. Solute separates from solvents using a magnet. - **Filtration** -use of filter paper - **Sorting** - mechanical separation. We can sort materials manually. - The process of separating and arranging substances based on their physical or chemical properties. - **Centrifugation** - to increase settling of precipitate. - **Precipitate-** an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution which settles at the bottom of the container. - **Fractional crystallization** - lowering the temperature so that the more insoluble component crystallized first; based on the difference in solubility - **Chromatography** - Difference in solvent affinity. A method by which a mixture is separated by distributing its components between two phases. - **Stationary**- not moving/ fixed in place (solute) - **Mobile**- moving/ carries components of the mixture through the medium (solvent) ![](media/image2.png)**[STATES OF MATTER]** **[INTERCONVERSERSION OF MATTER]** - **SoLi=Melting/fusion** - **SoGa= Sublimation** - **LiSo=Freezing** - **LiGa=Evaporation/Vapor(steam)** - **GaLi= Condensation (increase in temperature)** - **GaSo= Deposition\ ** **Example: Water** - Ice-solid - Liquid water- liquid - Steam/vapor- gas **Some points to remember:** - **IFA**= INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OF ATTRACTION ( IMF, IMFA) - **H~2~O- H~2~O= Hydrogen bond.** One of the weakest bond. But, it can be strong if there's an increase of IFA in the molecules. - **Cohesion**- the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind - **Water Cohesion-** water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another. - **Interconversion-** in between. Converting of one physical matter to another matter. - **Fusion**- The process by which a substance changes from a **solid-state to a liquid state.** **We add heat or increase in temperature.** **A.SOLID AND THE CRYSTALLINIE STATE** - Intermolecular attractive forces are strong enough not only to hold molecules close together but virtually to lock them in place. - rigid have fixed volume - particles are packed tightly together - incompressible, expand only slightly when heated **CRYSTALLINE SOLID** - **Crystalline solids** have ordered, repeating, three-dimensional patterns of atoms, ions, or molecules; have sharper melting point; are all anisotropic except for cubic crystalline. - **Example**: NaCl, Wood, Graphite. - **Amorphous solids** (without form) have no orderly 3-D structure; more-or less random distribution of particles: are isotropic - **Amorphous**- no shape/form. - "**Morph**"- shape of from - "**A**"- lack of/ there is no - **Example**: Glass, rubber, plastics **1.CRYSTALLINE SOLID** - **Isotropic** - exhibit similar properties in all directions - **Iso**= same - **Examples:** glass, plastics, and metals - **Anisotropic** - exhibit different properties in different directions - **Aniso=** not the same/ different particles - **Examples:** graphite (such as in pencils), wood, and carbon fiber. - Direction=uniformity - **Polymorphism** - ability of solid crystals to **exist in more than one** crystalline form - **Poly=** many - ***Polymorphs can be:*** - **[enantiotropic]** (**reversible** transition in polymorphic forms) or - **[monotropic]** (polymorphic transition occurs only in **one direction)** **2.

**Ex: 2NaHCO, → NaCO, + HaO+ CO,** C. **REPLACEMENT/DISPLACEMENT REACTION** - Metal replaces another metal ion from a solution - Free metal must be more active than the metal that is in the solution Metals arranged in series - \"Activity series\" or \"Electromotive series\" Used to predict the products of replacement reaction - Any free metal located higher on the list will displace another metal that is lower from solution - Any metal above H on the activity series will displace hydrogen gas from an acid **SINGLE REPLACEMENT/ DISPLACEMENT REACTION** - For **NOMETALS-** their activity is related to their ability to gain electron and form anion **More gaining of electrons**= high formation of anion (negative charged ion) Ex: chlorine chloride Flourine flouride - For **METALS-** their activity is related to their tendency to lose electron and form cation **Lose of electron**= formation of cation (positive charged ion) **SIMPLE REPLACEMENT-** Atoms of an element replace an atom ofa single element in a compound -

**Atomic Number (z) is the number of protons; dictates the identity of atom** - **Mass Number (a) = no. of protons + no. of neutron** **DEFINITION OF TERMS:** - **Isotopes-** atoms of the same elements that have the same atomic number (\# of p+) but different mass. **Ex**: Calcium - **Isobars-** atoms of different elements having the same mass numbers. **Ex:** Potassium-40, Argon-40 - **Isotones**-atoms of different elements having **Ex:** Sulphur-36, Chlorine-37, Argon-38, Potassium-39, and Calcium-4 **DISCOVERY OF ATOMS & ATOMIC MODELS** - **Continuous theory-** proposed by early Greek philosophers which states that matter is infinitely divisible. - **Atomistic Theory-** Proposed by Leucippus and Democritus. - Matter can be subdivided ultimately yielding **atomos** (pounded up materials in his mortar and pestle until he had reduced them to smaller particles). - Matter is made up of indivisible particles - **Dalton\'s Atomic Theory- \"billiard ball model\"** - All matter is made up of atoms. - Atoms of an element are identical. - Each element has different atoms. - Atoms of different elements combine in constant ratios to form compounds. - Atoms are rearranged in reactions. **Daltons proposed his atomic theory on the basis of** three generalizations: - **Law of Conservation of mass-** By Antoine Laurent Lavoisier - There is no detectable change in mass during the course of a chemical reaction. - Mass of reactants = Mass of products - **Law of Definite Proportions or Law of Constant Composition** - **Law of Multiple Proportion** - **George Johnstone Stoney** proposed that units of electrical charge are associated with atoms. - **Julius Plucker** discovered cathode rays ( negatively charged rays causing walls opposite them to glow) - **Robert Millikan** performed the oil drop experiment to determine the charge of an electron. - **Gold film experiment** - Most particles passed through. So atoms are mostly empty. - Some positive a-particles are deflected or bounded back. - Thus a \"nucleus\" is positive and hold most of an atom\'s mass. - **Natural Radioactivity by Henri Becquerel** - The spontaneous emission of radioactive rays by an unstable atomic nucleus, which in the process is transformed into a different nucleus. +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | ALPHA | BETA | GAMMA | +=======================+=======================+=======================+ | identical with Helium | Has same properties | similar to X-ray | | nuclei but less two | as electrons | Radiated as photons | | electrons | | or quanta of energy | | | Speed 0.4 time speed | at a velocity of 3.0x | | Speed - 0.05 times | of light Charge: -1 | 10\*12 m\\s Charge :0 | | speed of light | | Electromagnetic in | | | **More penetrating** | nature unlike the | | Charge: +2 | than alpha radiation. | alpha and beta | | | | particles. | | **Low penetrating | | | | power:** stopped by | | **Most penetrating | | sheet of paper. | | among the three**( up | | | | to 25 cm tissue) | | | | Discovered by **Paul | | | | Villard** and | | | | **Pierre Curie** | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ - **Planetary Model by Neil Bohr** - Proposed the structure is Iike **a mini solar system** where electron only orbit around the nucleus in particular energy levels or shells. - **Ground State:** lowest allowed energy state for an electron. - **Excited State:** electrons move to higher energy level when it gains quantum of energy. - **Heisenberg\'s Uncertainty Principle**- It is impossible to determine, simultaneously, the exact position and the exact momentum of an electron. - **Quantum Mechanical Model by E. Schroedinger** - derived many mathematical equations to measure the probability of finding an electron in a volume of space called Orbitals: position of electron is defined in terms of probability density. - **Electron cloud -** represernts the greatest probability in a region where there is greatest electron density. - **Pauli Exclusion Principle** - No two electron in an atom may have exactly the same set of 4 quantum numbers. - 2 electrons may have the first 3 quantum numbers alike but they would definitely have opposing spin - Only two electrons may occupy the same orbital and these electrons must have opposing spins. - **Hund\'s Rule** - When orbitals of identical energy( degenerate orbitals) are available, electrons initially occupy these orbitals singly. - Since electrons all carry the same electric charge, they try to get far apart as possible and they do this by seeking out first empty orbitals of similar energy in preference to pairing up ina half-filled orbitals. - **Aufbau Principle** - German for **\"building up\"** by Wolfgang Pauli - Electrons occupy the lowest energy sublevels that are available - 2 common variations in filing: Cr and Cu - ^24^Cr instead of 4~s~^2^3d^4-^ → 4~s~^1^3d^5^ - Added stability in 2 sets of half filled orbitals - From Hund\'s rule half filled set of d orbitals favors symmetrical distribution - ^29^Cu: Instead of 4~s~^2^3d^9^ 4~s~^1^3d^10^ - Added stability 1\\2 filled s and completely filled d.
