Elements, Compounds, Mixtures, Law of Definite Proportions, and an Introduction to the Periodic Table
Elements and Compounds Element: A pure substance that CANNOT be separated into a simpler substance by physical or chemical means. GOLD COPPER There are 91 naturally occurring elements on earth Approximately 24 synthetic elements have been identified
Symbols of Elements The symbols of elements are regulated by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and they are derived in several ways. Many elemental symbols are simply the capitalized letter of the first letter of the English name of the element: C is for Carbon Nis for Nitrogen If two elements start with the same first letter, then a second lowercase letter will be added to differentiate them: Ca is for Calcium Ni is for Nickel
Derivation of Element Names Many elements are named after their Latin derivation: Lead which is “plumbus” in Latin isPbGold which is “aurum” in Latin isAuPotassium which is “kalium” in Latin isK Other elements are named to honor a famous scientist: Es for EinsteiniumCmfor CuriumRffor Ruthifordium Still other elements are named for the country in which they were discovered: Frfor FranciumAmfor Americium
Compounds Combinations of two or more elements that are combined chemically: H20 NaCl C6H12O6 Al2O3 Fe2O3
Mixtures of Matter Characteristics of a mixture: a.) A combination of two or more pure substances in which each individual substance that makes up the mixture retains its individual properties b.) Properties are largely those of its component parts; conversely, when the individual substances combine new properties are NOT createdc.) It is a blend of two or more substancesd.) It does not have a constant compositione.) A mixture is a blend of substances; not a chemical bonding of substances
Types of Mixtures Heterogeneous: Individual substances still remain distinct A mixture that may have many phases Homogenous: A mixture is the same throughout A mixture that contains a single phaseALSO CALLED A SOLUTION!
Same or Different? a.) substance and a pure substance b.) heterogeneous mixture and solution c.) substance and mixture d.) homogenous mixture and solution
Law of Definite Proportions A compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportions by mass, regardless of the amount. % by mass = mass of element x 100 mass of compound OR (in other words) % by mass = part x 100 whole Mass ofH20: H: 2(1) = 2 amu O: 1(16) = 16 amu 2 amu from H + 16 amu from O = 18 amu for H20 % of H in H2O:(2 amu/18 amu) x 100 = 11.1% Hydrogen% of O in H2O:(16 amu/18 amu) x 100 = 88.9% Oxygen
Practice I • If hydrogen composes 11% of a 100 gram sample of water, what is the mass of the hydrogen in the sample? 2. If one gram of hydrogen reacts completely with 19.9 g of fluorine, what is the % by mass of hydrogen in the compound that is formed?
Practice Continued 3. If 3% of a 100 g HCl solution is hydrogen, what is the mass of the chlorine in the sample? • A 78.0 g sample of an unknown compound contains 12.4 g of hydrogen. What is the percent by mass of hydrogen in the compound?
Practice Continued • If 40% of a 300 g NaCl solution is sodium, what is the mass of the sodium present in the sample?
The Periodic Table The Periodic Table – A chart that organizes the elements based on their similarities and proton number. The original Periodic Table was developed by a Russian named Dmetri Mendeleev in 1869
Subatomic Particles:Protons, Neutrons, Electrons Upon looking at the periodic table, we find many clues as to how to find information about each individual element.
Finding Protons, Neutrons, Electrons The Number of Protons (p+) is... the number of p+ in an atom of an element. In this example, krypton's atomic number is 36. This tells us that an atom of krypton has 36 protons in its nucleus. The Number of Electrons (e-) is... by definition, atoms have no overall electrical charge. That means that there must be a balance between the positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons. Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. In our example, an atom of krypton must contain 36 electrons since it contains 36 protons. The Number of Neutrons (no) is... # of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number • to find the mass number, all you need to do is round the atomic weight to the nearest whole number. In our example, krypton's mass number is 84 amu since its atomic weight, 83.80, rounds up to 84 amu. • The mass number is a count of the number of particles in an atom's nucleus. Remember that the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. So, we can write: Mass Number = (Number of Protons) + (Number of Neutrons) For Krypton, this equation becomes: 84 = (Number of Protons) + (Number of Neutrons)
