  1. Chapter 2 Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

  2. Laws of Chemical Combination • Established from scientific observations • Used to establish other scientific theories • Include the following 3 laws: Law of Conservation of Mass Law of Definite Proportions Law of Multiple Proportions

  3. Law of Conservation of Mass • Lavoisier-mid 1700s • Total mass remains constant during a chemical reaction • Entire mass of reactants must be accounted for in the products • Also called a mass balance 11.1g H2 + 88.9g O2 = 100.0g H20

  4. Law of Definite Proportions • Joseph Proust - Late 1700s • All samples of a compound have the same composition Same mass proportions of elements present (Same atomic ratios of elements present) • Water 11.1% H 88.9% O (2 atoms H, 1 atom O) • Also called law of constant composition

  5. Law of Definite Proportions • Copper Carbonate, CH2Cu2O5 • All samples of a compound have the same composition

  6. Dalton’s Law of Multiple Proportions • John Dalton- Early 1800s • When two or more different compounds of the same two elements are compared, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in the ratio of small whole numbers. • Example: • CO: 12g Carbon reacts with 16g Oxygen • CO2: 12g Carbon reacts with 32g Oxygen • CO2 has 2X as much oxygen as CO • Ratio = 32:16= 2:1 • 2:1 is ratio of small whole numbers in Dalton’s Law

  7. Atomic Theory of Matter • All matter is composed of atoms • All atoms of a given element are alike in mass, but atoms of different elements differ in mass • Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements unite in fixed proportions. • A chemical reaction involves atomic rearrangement • No atoms are created or destroyed

  8. The Atom and Sub-Atomic Particles • Proton large, positively charged particle in nucleus • Electron small, negatively charged particle in orbit around the nucleus • Neutron large, neutral particle in nucleus • Elements are not electrically charged • Must have equal numbers of protons and electrons electron proton neutron nucleus

  9. Atomic Symbols • Atomic Number (Z) Protons in a nucleus Determines element identity Located lower left on symbol • Mass Number (A) # protons + # neutrons Determines isotope identity Located upper left on symbol

  10. Elements with the same number of protons and electrons, but differing number of neutrons Used in chemistry for structure identification or to follow a particular molecule through a reaction Example: hydrogen and deuterium Water, H2O H has 1 proton and 0 neutrons in nucleus Most abundant Heavy water, D2O D (deuterium) has 1 proton &1 neutron in nucleus Occurs 1/6700 molecules 1 H 1 2 H 1 Isotopes

  11. Atomic Mass Units (AMU) • Weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element • Mass of protons & neutrons in nucleus • Mass proton or neutron: ~ 1.66 x 10-24 g /particle • Particle mass independent of element • Electrons mass ignored • Atoms are difficult to weigh due to extremely small size • Use AMU- atomic mass units (u) • Internationally based on pure isotope C-12 C-12 atom contains 6 protons + 6 neutrons = 12 particles 1 u = weight of 1 particle = 1.66 x 10-24 g C-12 then has a mass of 12.000000 u

  12. Atomic Mass Calculations • Percent abundance isotope mass ÷ total mass • Fractional abundance % abundance ÷ 100 • Isotope contribution fractional abundance x atomic mass • Atomic mass sum of all mass contributions from isotopes

  13. Calculating the Atomic Mass for C • Look up mass of isotopes C-12 12.00000u C-13 13.00335u • Look up % Abundances C-12 98.89% C-13 1.11% • Calculate contribution from Isotopes C-12 0.9889 x 12.00000u = 11.87 u C-13 0.0111 x 13.00335u = 0.144 u • Add up contributions to determine atomic mass Contribution of C-12 + Contribution of C-13 11.87 u + 0.144 u = 12.01 u

  14. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table 1869 • Arranged the known elements in order of increasing atomic weight from left to right and from top to bottom in groups. • Elements with similar properties are placed in the same column. • Used table to predict properties of some undiscovered Mendeleev elements

  15. Germanium:Prediction vs. Observation

  16. The Modern Periodic Table

  17. Metals • Location: Left side of main table • Characteristics Metallic, Conductive, Malleable, Ductile, Luster, Solids (not Hg) , Positive ionic charge

  18. Non-metals Location: Right side of table • Characteristics: • Nonmetallic Brittle solids • Gas, liquids or solids Negative or uncharged ions

  19. Noble Gases • Location: Last column on the right side of table • Characteristics Nonreactive Gases Extremely stable Difficult to ionize

  20. Halogens • Location: Last column before noble gases • Characteristics Reactive 1- charge most common • Diatomic Stable ionized in water

  21. Metalloids • Location: Border between metals and nonmetals • Characteristics Metal/nonmetal characteristics Solids • Variable ionic charges Semi-conductors

  22. Lanthanides and Actinides • Table Location: Bottom 2 rows below table • Characteristics Very reactive, Often radioactive, Unstable Solids, Difficult to measure, and Positive ions

  23. Molecules and Chemical Formulas MOLECULE • A group of 2 or more atoms held together with covalent bonds Chemical Formula • Symbolic representation of molecular composition Three different types of chemical formula Empirical: ratio of atoms Molecular: types and numbers of atoms Structural: relationship of atoms in molecule

  24. Chemical FormulasAcetic Acid: 2C 2O 4H • Empirical Formula Shows ratio of atoms CH2O • Molecular Formula Shows number and type of atoms C2H4O2 • Structural Formula Shows relationship between atoms CH3COOH

  25. Naming Binary Compounds • Name has 2 words, one for each element: N2O4 • 1st word is for 1st element: N: Nitrogen • 2nd word is stem of element name O: Oxygen change ending to “–ide” O: Oxide • Use prefixes to designate # of atoms 2N: Dinitrogen 4O: Tetroxide • Put it together N2O4: Dinitrogen tetroxide

  26. Prefixes for Molecular CompoundsMemorize!

  27. Chemical Formulas for Binary Compounds • Choose the first element symbol Boron Trifluoride • Use the one farthest to left (metal) B • Lowest in group if in same group • Then write the other atom such as a nonmetal F Remember the subscripts • Count # of atoms of each element 1B, 3F • BF3

  28. Ionic Compounds (salts) • Atoms in a reaction may gain or lose electrons • Both atoms become charged and are called ions • Anion: atom gaining the electron is negatively charged • Cation: atom losing the electron is positively charged • The net charge is 0 • Cations & anions balance out over the entire compound • No distinct molecular units • Positive charge of one ion attracts all nearby negative charges

  29. Predicting Ionic Charge from the Periodic TableMetals, Metalloids and Nonmetals • Goal: Get to column 8A by going to the right or left • Right: Count each box as -1 until reaching 8A • Left: Count each box as +1 until reaching 8A in previous row • The correct charge is usually the smallest number • Left Side (metals): Li1+ or Li-7 Be2+ or Be6- • Right Side (nonmetals): O2-, F1-, He0, Ne0 • Center (metalloids): B3+ (B5-), C4+ C4- , N5+, N3-

  30. Predicting Ionic Charge from the Periodic TableGroup B (Transition Metals) • Charge is positive, but unpredictable • Charge on a transition metal is designated with a • Roman numeral when naming the compound • Iron (III) oxide contains Fe3+

  31. Naming Ions • Add the word ION after element names • Sodium Chloride: NaCl Table Salt • Na Cl loses 1 e- gains 1 e- Na+ Cl- Sodium ion Chloride ion • Net Charge = 0 = (+1) + (-1)

  32. Monotomic and Polyatomic Ions • Atoms can lose or gain electrons singly or as a group Monoatomic ions Lose or gain electrons singly The total charge is on a single atom ex: Na+ Polyatomic ions • Lose or gain electrons as a group • The total charge is spread over 2 or more atoms ex: SO42-

  33. Polyatomic Ions • Memorize the following polyatomic ions • Ammonium NH4 • + Hydronium H3O+ • Phosphate PO4 • 3- Acetate CH3COOHydroxide • OH- Nitrate NO3 • - • Cyanide CN- Sulfate SO4 • 2- • Permanganate MnO4 • - Chlorate ClO3 • - • Carbonate CO3 • 2- Perchlorate ClO4 • -

  36. Naming Arrhenius Acids Binary Acids (HX) • Contain hydrogen and 1 other type of atom • Dissolved in water, so change hydrogen to hydro • Change “–ide” ending to “–ic acid” example HCl: hydrochloric acid Ternary and Oxoacids- • Binary acid that also contains oxygen • Oxoacids have oxygen as one of the atoms • Change “–ate” ending to “–ic acid” example Nitric Acid: HNO3

  37. Common acids to memorize • Hydrochloric Acid: HCl • Sulfuric Acid: H2SO4 • Nitric Acid: HNO3 • Carbonic Acid: H2CO3 • Phosphoric Acid: H3PO4 • Perchloric Acid: HClO4

  38. Named the same way as ionic compounds All Arrhenius bases contain OH (hydroxide) in the Name the metal first, then use word “hydroxide” Memorize: Sodium hydroxide: NaOH Potassium hydroxide: KOH Ammonium hydroxide: NH4OH Naming Arrhenius Bases

  39. Suffixes -ate Most common form Chlorate ClO3- -ite 1 less oxygen than “ate” Chlorite ClO2- Prefixes Hypo- 1 less oxygen than ite ion Hypochlorite ClO per 1 more oxygen than -ate ion. Perchlorate ClO4- Polyatomic Ions with Oxygen

  40. Hydrogen attached to ion • Use numerical prefixes for # of hydrogen atoms • mono, di, tri, etc. • Then add the word “hydrogen” before ion name H2PO4- Dihydrogen phosphate ion

  41. Hydrates • A compound that is associated with a fixed number of water molecules is called a hydrate Naming Hydrates • Use numerical prefixes for # of water molecules • Then add the word “hydrate” • A dot shows H2O association • Water molecules are part of the mass • Copper(II)sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4 ∙ 5H2O
