Molecules and CompoundsCompounds Display Constant Composition If we decompose water, we find 16.0 grams of oxygen to every 2.00 grams of hydrogen. This produces an Oxygen to Hydrogen mass ratio of 8.0. Mass ratio = 16.0 grams = 8.0 2.00 grams Water has a constant Mass Ratio of Oxygen to Hydrogen of 8.0.

The chemical formula for an ionic compound represents one formula unit—the simplest ratio of the compound’s positive ions (cations) and its negative ions (anions). • example: aluminum sulfate — Al2(SO4)3 • Parentheses surround the polyatomic ion SO42- to identify it as a unit. The subscript 3 refers to the unit.

Salts • An ionic compound composed of a cation and the anion from an acid is often referred to as a salt. • examples: • Table salt, NaCl, contains the anion from hydrochloric acid, HCl. • Calcium sulfate, CaSO4, is a salt containing the anion from sulfuric acid, H2SO4.
Oxidation Numbers • The charges on the ions in an ionic compound reflect the electron distribution of the compound. • In order to indicate the general distribution of electrons among the bonded atoms in a molecular compound or a polyatomic ion, oxidation numbers are assigned to the atoms composing the compound or ion. • Unlike ionic charges, oxidation numbers do not have an exact physical meaning: rather, they serve as useful “bookkeeping” devices to help keep track of electrons.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers In general when assigning oxidation numbers, shared electrons are assumed to “belong” to the more electronegative atom in each bond. More-specific rules are provided by the following guidelines. • The atoms in a pure element have an oxidation number of zero. examples: all atoms in sodium, Na, oxygen, O2, phosphorus, P4, and sulfur, S8, have oxidation numbers of zero.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers, continued.. • The more-electronegative element in a binary compound is assigned a negative number equal to the charge it would have as an anion. Likewise for the less-electronegative element. • Fluorine has an oxidation number of –1 in all of its compounds because it is the most electronegative element.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers, continued.. 4. Oxygen usually has an oxidation number of –2. • Exceptions: • In peroxides, such as H2O2, oxygen’s oxidation number is –1. • In compounds with fluorine, such as OF2, oxygen’s oxidation number is +2. 5. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 in all compounds containing elements that are more electronegative than it; it has an oxidation number of –1 with metals.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers, continued.. • The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an neutral compound is equal to zero. • The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion. • Although rules 1 through 7 apply to covalently bonded atoms, oxidation numbers can also be applied to atoms in ionic compounds similarly.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers, continued.. Assign oxidation numbers to each atom in the following compounds or ions: a. UF6 b. H2SO4 c. ClO3-
Molecules and Compounds Formula Mass & Molar Mass • Formula Mass - Average mass of the Molecules that compose a compound (in a.m.u.’s) • Molar Mass – Average mass of the molecules that compose a mole (6.02x1023) of the compound (in grams/mole) Same values different units!
