INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL CHEMISTRY COMPOUNDS AND ELEMENTS chlorine nitrogen gold silver mercury helium oxygen hydrogen sodium niobium neodymium carbon Elements • The elements, alone or in combinations, make up our bodies, our world, our sun, and in fact, the entire universe. Elements • Science has come along way since Aristotle’s theory of Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. • Scientists have identified 94 naturally occurring elements, and created about 24 others. The most abundant element in the earth’s crust is oxygen. Symbols O Ag Oxyden Silver • All elements have their own unique symbol. • It can consist of a single capital letter, or a capital letter and one or two lower case letters. Common Elements and Symbols Periodic Table • The periodic table organizes the elements in a particular way. A great deal of information about an element can be gathered from its position in the period table. • For example, you can predict with reasonably good accuracy the physical and chemical properties of the element. You can also predict what other elements a particular element will react with chemically. • Understanding the organization and plan of the periodic table will help you obtain basic information about each of the 118 known elements. Matter • A chemical element or element is a chemical substance consisting of atoms • All matter is composed of atoms and groups of atoms bonded together, called molecules. – Substances that are made from one type of atom only are called pure substances. – Substances that are made from more than one type of atom bonded together are called compounds. – Compounds that are combined physically, but not chemically, are called mixtures. Elements, Compounds, Mixtures • Sodium is an element. • Chlorine is an element. • When sodium and chlorine bond they make the compound sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. Compounds have different properties than the elements that make them up. Table salt has different properties than sodium, an explosive metal, and chlorine, a poisonous gas. Elements, Compounds, Mixtures • Hydrogen is an element. • Oxygen is an element. • When hydrogen and oxygen bond they make the compound water. • When salt and water are combined, a mixture is created. Compounds in mixtures retain their individual properties. The ocean is a mixture. Elements, compounds, and mixtures • Mixtures can be separated by physical means. • Compounds can only be separated by chemical means. • Elements are pure substances. When the subatomic particles of an element are separated from its atom, it no longer retains the properties of that element. Properties of Metals • Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. • Metals are shiny. • Metals are ductile (can be stretched into thin wires). • Metals are malleable (can be pounded into thin sheets). • A chemical property of metal is its reaction with water which results in corrosion. Properties of Non-Metals Sulfur • Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity. • Non-metals are not ductile or malleable. • Solid non-metals are brittle and break easily. • They are dull. • Many non-metals are gases. Properties of Metalloids • Metalloids (metal-like) have properties of both metals and non-metals. • They are solids that can be shiny or dull. • They conduct heat and electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals. • They are ductile and malleable. Silicon A chemical element or element is a chemical substance consisting of atoms An ATOM is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element. Atoms have three types of sub atomic particles. They are electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons are negatively charged (e-), protons are positively charged (p+) and neutrons have no charge (n). Bohr’s model of an atom : 1. An atom has a positively charged nucleus at its centre and most of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus. 2. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in special orbits called discrete orbits. 3. These orbits are called shells or energy levels and are represented by the letters K, L, M, N etc. or numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. 4. While revolving in the discrete orbits the electrons do not radiate energy. Shells or energy levels in an atom Atomic Number • This refers to how many protons an atom of that element has. • No two elements, have the same number of protons. Bohr Model of Hydrogen Atom Wave Model Atomic Mass • Atomic Mass refers to the “weight” of the atom. • It is derived at by adding the number of protons with the number of neutrons. This is a helium atom. Its atomic mass is 4 H(protons plus neutrons). What is its atomic number? Atomic number and Mass number a) Atomic number (Z) Eg. Hydrogen – Atomic number = 1 (1 proton) Helium - Atomic number = 2 (2 protons) Lithium - Atomic number = 3 (3 protons) b) Mass number (A = Z+n) Eg. Carbon – Mass number = 12 (6 protons + 6 neutrons) Mass = 12u Aluminium – Mass number = 27 (13 protons + 14 neutrons) Mass = 27u Sulphur – Mass number = 32 (16 protons + 16 neutrons) Mass = 32u Key to the Periodic Table • Elements are organized on the table according to their atomic number, usually found near the top of the square. – The atomic number refers to how many protons an atom of that element has. – For instance, hydrogen has 1 proton, so it’s atomic number is 1. – The atomic number is unique to that element. No two elements have the same atomic number. What’s in a square? • Different periodic tables can include various bits of information, but usually: – – – – atomic number symbol atomic mass number of valence electrons – state of matter at room temperature. Atomic Mass Unit (AMU) • The unit of measurement for an atom is an AMU. It stands for atomic mass unit. • One AMU is equal to the mass of one proton. Atomic Mass and Isotopes • While most atoms have the same number of protons and neutrons, some don’t. • Some atoms have more or less neutrons than protons. These are called isotopes. • An atomic mass number with a decimal is the total of the number of protons plus the average number of neutrons. Isotopes Isotopes are atoms of the same element having the same atomic numbers but different mass numbers. Eg. Hydrogen has three isotopes. They are Protium, Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T). 1 1 H 2 1 H 3 1 H Protium Deuterium Tritium Carbon has two isotopes. They are C 12 14 6 6 C Chlorine has two isotopes They are :35 17 Cl 37 17 Cl Relative atomic mass (Ar ) • An element can have several naturally occurring isotopes. • These isotopes of a element behave in the same way. • In calculating the relative atomic mass of an element with isotopes, the relative mass and proportion or percentage of each is taken into account. Calculating relative atomic mass Isotope Relative isotopic mass Relative abundance (%) Cl 34.969 75.80 Cl 36.966 24.20 Ar = (relative isotopic mass X1 % abundance) + relative isotopic mass X2 % abundance) 100 Ar (Cl) = (34.969 X 75.8) + ( 36.966 X 24.2) 100 Ar (Cl) = 2650.65 + 894.58 100 Ar (Cl) = 35.45 amu (atomic mass unit) Your turn • Calculate the relative atomic mass of Boron to two decimal places Isotope Relative abundance (%) Relative isotopic mass 10B 19.91 19.91 11B 80.09 11.009 Relative molecular mass (Mr ) • The relative molecular mass of a compound is the mass of one molecule of that substance relative to the 12 mass of a C • This is calculated by taking the sum of the relative atomic masses of the elements in the molecular formula (i.e. covalent compounds) • It is called relative formula mass for ionic compounds Calculating relative molecular mass Normally to find the relative atomic mass you just look in the periodic table!! Oxygen (O2) Mr = 2 X Ar(0) = 2 X 16.0 = 32.0 amu Carbon Dioxide (CO2)Mr = Ar(C) + 2 X Ar(0) = 12.0 + (2 X 16.0) = 44.0 amu What is a mole? • What is a dozen? • 12 of something • The mole is like a dozen, it is a fixed number of something • The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 g (0.012 kilograms) of carbon 12. • That number is 6.02 X1023 or • 602000000000000000000000 • a mole is a fixed number of things just like a dozen. Why have the mole? • It can become very dificult to deal with such large numbers, especially during calculations. • To overcome this impracticality, chemists deal with multiples of particles, instead of individually. This is why we have a mole! Where did the mole come from? • The mole is a unit of measurement based on work done almost 200 years ago by Amadeo Avogadro as he studied gas behavior. • His work led to the association of a number, 6.02 x 1023, with the mole. • 6.02 x 1023, is also called Avogadro’s constant or number • It allows particles to be "counted.“ • The word "mole" is derived from "gram molecular weight" How big is the mole • The mole can be applied to anything: number of trucks, number of balloons, etc. • In a mole we know there are 6.02 X1023 of stuff it can be anything trucks, balloons etc. • To have one mole of peas, they would have to be a metre deep around earth and you would need 250 earths to fit them all on How big is the mole • The mole is HUGE! • But you can hold a mole of NaCl in your hand because molecules and atoms are so small Examples of moles • 1 mole of iron contains the same number of atoms as 1 mole of gold • 1 mole of sodium chloride contains the same number of molecules as 1 mole of water • the number of atoms in 1 mole of iron is equal to the number of molecules in 1 mole of water. • 1 mole of water (H2O) has 1 mole of oxygen and 2 of hydrogen. Moles of atoms in molecules • How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 5 mol of O2 ? 1 mol of O2 contains 2 mol of O atoms 5 mol of O2 contains 10 mol of O atoms • How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 5 mol of H2SO4? 1 mol of H2SO4 contains 4 mol of O atoms 5 mol of H2SO4 contains 20 mol of O atoms Atoms to Moles • I have 4.673 x 1011 atoms of Zinc. How many mole do I have • Is it a mole? • 4.673 x 1011 atoms of Zinc x 1 mol of Zinc 6.02 x 1023 atoms of Zinc = 7.7 x10-11 mols of zinc • Always check the units have cancelled out • This number is less than one therefore it is less than one mol as it should be! Moles to atoms • I have 3.01 x 1023 copper atoms. How many mole of copper atoms do I have? • 1 mol = 6.02 x 1023 atoms of copper • Mol of copper = 3.01 x 1023copper atoms 6.02 x 1023 atoms of copper mol Mol of copper = 0.5 mol Check calculation! Molar Mass • Molar mass (M) is the mass of one mole of a substance (chemical element or chemical compound). • The unit of molar masses is: grams per mole ( g or g/mol or g mol–1) mol How do you find the molar mass of an element? • In general the molar mass of an element is the relative atomic mass of the element expressed in grams. • The molar mass of a compound is the relative formula mass of the compound expressed in grams. Example • Calculate the molar mass of table sugar, sucrose (C12H22O11) Ar Carbon = 12.01 Ar Hydrogen = 1.00 Ar Oxygen = 16.00 M = (12 x 12.01)+ (22 x 1.00)+ (11 x 16.00) M = 144.12 + 22 + 176 M = 342.12 g/mol Grams to moles • Use the molar mass it has grams and moles • How many moles of Zinc chloride do I have in 2.6g ZnCl2? • Molar mass of ZnCl2 = 65.37 + (2 x 35.45) = 136.27 g/mol 2.6 g of ZnCl2 x 1mol of ZnCl2 136.27 g ZnCl2 = 0.019 mol of ZnCl2 Grams to moles • I have 30.0g of NH3. How many moles of NH3 do I have? • Ar (NH3)= 14.00 +(1.00 x 3) = 17g/mol = 30.0g x 1 mol 17g = 1.76 mol of NH3 Moles to grams • I have 1.973 mol of I2 • How many grams of Iodine do I have? • Molar mass of I2 = 126.90 x 2 = 253.8 g/mol 1.973 mol of I2 x 253.8g 1 mol of I2 = 500.75 g Moles to Grams • I have 0.300 mol of water how many grams of water do I have? • Ar (H2O) = (1.00 x 2) + 16.00 = 2.00 + 16.00 = 18.00 g/mol = 0.300 mol H2O x 18.00g of H2O 1 mol of H2O = 5.4 g of H2O Moles to Grams 1.
