PSC 4012 Ionic Phenomena: A study of an environmental problem
PSC 4012 Changes in matter can be: (Fig 3.1, page 3.4) • Physical (appearance) • Chemical (electrons in last shell) • Nuclear (nucleus)
PSC 4012 Physical changes: • Superficial change • Needs little amount of energy • DOES NOT change nature of element or compound • DOES NOT affect the properties of element or compound • Changes state of matter
PSC 4012 Physical changes:
PSC 4012 Nuclear changes: • Most profound change • Needs much more energy • Involves particles in nucleus! • An element is changed into another • ALL involve emission of radiation (which can be harmless, dangerous, or lethal)
PSC 4012 Chemical changes (chemical reactions): • More profound change • Needs more energy • Involves electrons in last shell • NEW SUBSTANCES are formed • Evidences of chemical change: _change of color _gas release _formation of precipitate _change of temperature
PSC 4012 Chemical changes: Ionization: when an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it turns into an ion. • Thus ions become negatively charged when atoms gain electrons (A-, anion) • Or positively charged when atoms lose electrons (M+cation)

PSC 4012 Molecules: Specific combination of atoms (same or different elements) that are united by chemical bonds Example: _H2O (Water) 1 molecule of water contains 2 elements (hydrogen and oxygen) Each element has H: 2 atoms, O: 1 atom

PSC 4012 Compounds: Pure chemical substance whose molecules are made of one or more elements (e.g. Gold, Water, Sulfuric Acid) Element: A substance made of only one type of atom. For example: Gold (Au) Binary compound: Compound made of two elements. For example: Water (H2O) Complex compound: Compound made of more than two elements. For example: Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4)

PSC 4012 Chemical bonds: The force that keeps atoms united in chemical compounds. There are three type of chemical bonds: _Ionic _Covalent _Polar covalent
PSC 4012 Ionic bonds: Is the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another (usually from a metal to a nonmetal) • Metals (low electronegativity, tendency to lose electrons, form Cations, positively-charged ion) • Non-metal (high electronegativity, tendency to gain electrons, form Anions, negatively-charged ion)

PSC 4012 Electronegativity: Measurement of the force of attraction exerted by an atoms on the electrons it shares with another atom. Fig 3.15, page 3.45
PSC 4012 Covalent bonds: Is the sharing of one or more pair of electrons between two identicalatoms (non metals). F + F F2 9P 10N 9P 10N 9P 10N 9P 10N
PSC 4012 Polar covalent bond: Is the sharing of one or more pair of electrons between two different atoms (non metals). • The more electronegative atoms tend to have a stronger attraction for the electron pair (or pairs). • This difference of electronegativity causes a certain degree of polarity, and as a result, the more electronegative atom ends up carrying a slightly negative charge whereas the less electronegative atom ends up with a slightly positive charge. • Slightly charged means a fraction of the actual charge. Do not confuse with ionic bond where the transfer of electrons is complete and so is the charge of the ions or elements involved.
