Science and Tech 11 Chemistry ReviewAtomic Theory
ATOMIC THEORY • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element.
ATOMIC THEORY • An element is a pure substance that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances. Example: Oxygen (O) is an element.
ATOMIC THEORY • A compound is a pure substance that is made up of two or more different elements that have been combined in a specific way. • Example: H2O is a compound made of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
ATOMIC THEORY • An atom includes smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons:
ATOMIC THEORY • Protons are subatomic particles that have a 1+ (positive) charge. • Neutrons are subatomic particles that do not have an electric charge. • Electrons are subatomic particles that have a 1− (negative) electric charge.
THE NUCLEUS • The nucleus is: • at the centre of an atom • composed of protons and neutrons. • Electrons exist in the area surrounding the nucleus.
THE NUCLEUS The atomic number = the # of protons = the # of electrons • the # of protons in the nucleus determine the element.For example, silver (Ag) has 47 protons
The Periodic table of elementS • The periodic table organizes all known elements in order by atomic number. • Rows of elements (across) are called periods. • Columns of elements (down) are called chemical families or groups.
ROWS = PERIODS COLUMNS= GROUPS
The Periodic table of elementS • All elements in a family have similar properties and bond with other elements in similar ways. • Group 1 = alkali metals • Group 2 = alkaline earth metals • Group 17 = halogens • Group 18 = noble gases • Metals are on the left side of the table, non-metals are on the right side, and the metalloids form a “staircase” toward the right side.
Ion formation • Atoms gain and lose electrons to form bonds. • When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become electrically charged particles called ions.
Ion formation • Metals lose electrons and become positive ions (aka “cation”). • Some metals are multivalent, which means they lose electrons in different ways • Iron (Fe) loses either 2 electrons (Fe2+) or 3 electrons (Fe3+) as shown in the periodic table.
Ion formation • Non-metals gain electrons and become negative ions (aka ‘anions’).
BOHR DIAGRAMS • A Bohr diagram is a model of the atom that describes the arrangement of an element’s subatomic particles.
BOHR DIAGRAMS • Electron shells are regular patterns or energy levels around the nucleus. • There is a maximum of 2 electrons in the 1st shell, 8 electrons in the 2nd shell, and 8 electrons in the 3rd shell. • Electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
BOHR DIAGRAMs • Patterns seen in the Periodic Table of Elements: • By PERIOD: • The period number equals the # of shells in the atom. • By GROUPS: • Except for the transition elements (Groups 3–12), the last digit of the group number equals the number of electrons in the valence shell.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Example: Period 2 elements have only 2 shells (or energy levels)
Example: Group 1 = 1 valence electron Group 13 = 3 valence electrons
BOHR DIAGRAMs • A full valence shell is very stable and atoms will lose or gain electrons to accomplish this • Why atoms may bond or react with other atoms • The noble gas elements already have full electron shells and are very stable and thus, rarely react with other elements
BOHR DIAGRAMS • Electrons can exist singly as unpaired electrons, or they can be in pairs, called paired electrons.
Science and Tech 11 Chemistry Review (part 2):Forming Compounds
Background: • Atoms want to achieve a full valence shell and will lose or gain electrons to do this. • very stable and have low energy states (ie: noble gases)
Background: • Cations are: • an atom of metal that loses electrons to other atoms • Anions are: • an atom of non-metal that gains electrons from other atoms
Background: • Atoms can also share electrons
Background: • There are two ways that ions can form compounds: • IONIC BONDING (IONIC COMPOUNDS) • COVALENT BONDING (COVALENT COMPOUNDS)
IONIC COMPOUNDS • Ionic compounds are formed usually between a METAL/CATION and a NON-METAL/ANION • one or more electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal
Example #1:Sodium (Na) is a metal that can get a full valence shell by losing 1 electron and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal that can get a full valence shell by gaining 1 electron. They’re perfect for each other and they form sodium chloride (NaCl)!
Example #2:Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is an ionic compounds formed from 1 atom of the metal calcium and 2 atoms of the non-metal fluorine. The calcium atom transfers 2 electrons in total (1 electron to each of the fluorine atoms).
COVALENT COMPOUNDS • covalent compounds/molecules are formed when two non-metal atoms share electrons (“CO” = together/share and “VALENT” = valence electrons shared valence electrons)
COVALENT COMPOUNDS • the term ‘molecule’ applies specifically to covalent compounds • some common covalent compounds are water, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide
COVALENT COMPOUNDS • Bonding pair: • Each atom in a covalent molecule will share 1 valence electron • Any pairs of valence electrons NOT shared are called lone pairs.
COVALENT COMPOUNDS • Some elements are more stable when paired as two atoms that share electrons. These molecules are called diatomic molecules.
COVALENT COMPOUNDS • Elements that are diatomic are: hydrogen (H2), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), chlorine (Cl2), fluorine (F2), bromine (Br2), and iodine (I2).
LEWIS DIAGRAMS • Lewis diagrams are great for illustrating chemical bonding because they show only the valence electrons of atoms • A lot less work than drawing Bohr diagrams! Ca
To draw a Lewis diagram, follow these steps: • figure out how many valence electrons an atom has • place 1 electron at a time starting at the North position until all electrons have been place • you may end up with paired and unpaired electrons
To draw a Lewis diagram to illustrate ionic bonding: • find the electric charge of the element • the cation will have no valence electrons and the anion will have a full valance shell • add square brackets around each atom • include an ion charge to the top right
To draw a Lewis diagram to illustrate covalent bonding: • identify bonding pair (shared electrons) • draw a line to represent the bonding pair
Example: Methane (CH4) Example: water (H2O)
