CHEMISTRY: THE STUDY OF MATTER
Chemistry is the science that investigates and explains the structure and properties of
________________. This includes its composition, properties and the changes it undergoes.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
A scientific method is a systematic approach to answer a ______________________ or study a
situation. It starts with _____________________ - noting and recording facts. A
_________________________ is a possible explanation for what has been observed. It is an
educated _________________ as to the cause of the problem or answer to the question. An
experiment is a set of controlled observations that _____________ a hypothesis. The variable
that is changed in an experiment is called the ________________________ variable. The
variable that you watch to see how it _________________ as a result of your changes to the
independent variable is called the dependent variable. The cycle (hypothesis followed by
experimentation) repeats many times, and the hypothesis gets more and more certain. The
hypothesis becomes a _______________________, which is a thoroughly tested model that
explains why things behave a certain way. Theories can never be ____________________; they
are always subject to additional research. Another outcome is that certain behavior is repeated
many times. A scientific ____________ describes a relationship in nature that is supported by
many experiments and for which no exception has been found.
Identify the dependent variable and the independent variable in the following experiments.
a) A student tests the ability of a given chemical to dissolve in water at three different
temperatures. independent variable: _________________________________
dependent variable: _________________________________
b) A farmer compares how his crops grow with and without phosphorous fertilizers.

Unit 1- Matter and Change
MATTER
Matter is anything that takes up __________________ and has mass. ______________ is the
measure of the amount of matter that an object contains. Virtually all of the matter around us
consists of mixtures. A mixture can be defined as something that has _____________________
composition. Soda is a mixture (carbon dioxide is dissolved in it), and ____________________
is a mixture (it can be strong, weak or bitter). If matter is not uniform throughout, then it is a
_______________________ mixture. If matter is uniform throughout, it is homogeneous.
Homogeneous mixtures are called ___________________. A heterogeneous mixture contains
regions that have ____________________ properties from those of other regions. When we
pour sand into water, the resulting mixture contains two distinct regions. ___________________
pavement, which has small rocks mixed with tarry goo, is a simple example of a heterogeneous
mixture. Oil-and-vinegar salad dressing, which has a layer of oil floating on a layer of vinegar,
is another example. Homogeneous mixtures (also known as solutions) are mixtures in which the
composition is _______________________, there are no chunks or layers. Salt water,
___________________ ___________________ and dust free air (mixture of nitrogen, oxygen,
argon, carbon dioxide, water vapor and other gases) are examples of homogeneous mixtures.
Brass (solid mixture of copper and ______________) is also a homogeneous mixture. Brass is
a(n) _________________, which is a mixture of metals. Since heterogeneous mixtures contain
chunks or layers, they are often easier to separate than homogeneous mixtures. A mixture of
solid particles in a liquid can be separated by pouring the mixture through a
___________________ that traps the solid particles while the liquid passes through in a process
called filtering. Some simple methods also exist for separating homogeneous mixtures. A solid
dissolved in a liquid solution can be separated by letting it dry out in the process of
___________________. Mixtures are separated into pure _____________________. A pure
substance always has the same composition. Pure substances are either elements or
_________________________. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into other
substances chemically or _______________________. Examples include sodium, carbon and
aluminum. Compounds are substances made of two or more ______________________
combined chemically. Compounds have properties ___________________________ from those
of the original elements. Examples of compounds include water (hydrogen and oxygen) and
table salt (sodium and chlorine).

E. chunky peanut butter _____________
F. common salt ____________________
G. margarine ____________________
H. a Spanish omelet ________________
I. a multivitamin tablet ________________
J. oxygen gas ____________________
K. carbon dioxide gas _________________
PROPERTIES
The properties of matter describe the characteristics and behavior of matter, including the
changes that matter undergoes. _____________________ properties are characteristics that a
sample of matter exhibits without any change in its identity. This property can be observed and
measured without _____________________ the substance.
Examples of the physical properties of a chunk of matter include its:
1. __________________________________
2. _________________________________

4. _________________________________
5. __________________________________
6. _________________________________

CHANGES
A physical change is a change in matter that does not involve a change in the chemical identity
of individual substances. The matter only changes in appearance. Examples: ______________,
_________________, __________________, _________________, ___________________, and
_____________________. A chemical property always relates to a chemical change, the change
of one or more substances _____________ other substances. Another term for chemical change
is chemical ___________________. Indications of a chemical reaction: __________________
absorbed or released, _________________ change, formation of a precipitate - ______________
that separates from solution, and formation of a ___________. All matter is made of atoms, and
any chemical change involves only a rearrangement of the atoms. Atoms do not just appear.
Atoms do not just disappear. This is an example of the law of conservation of mass (or matter),
which says that in a chemical change, matter is neither ________________ nor destroyed. All
chemical changes also involve some sort of energy change. Energy is either taken in or
__________________ ____________ as the chemical change takes place. Energy is the capacity
to do _________________. Work is done whenever something is moved. Chemical reactions
that give off heat energy are called ____________________ reactions. Chemical reactions that
_________________ heat energy are called endothermic reactions. Freezing, condensation and
___________________ are exothermic. Melting, _______________________ and sublimation
are endothermic.

Unit 2- Atomic Theory and Structure
ATOMIC THEORY
HISTORY OF THE ATOM
The original idea (400 B.C.) came from ______________________, a Greek philosopher.
He expressed the belief that all matter is composed of very small, indivisible particles, which he
named atomos. John Dalton (1766-1844), an English school teacher and chemist, proposed his
atomic theory of matter in 1803. Dalton’s Atomic Theory states that:
1. All matter is made of tiny __________________________ particles called atoms.
2. Atoms of the ____________ element are identical; those of different atoms are different.
3. Atoms of different elements combine in whole number ________________ to form
compounds
4. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms. No _______ atoms are created or
destroyed.
PARTS OF THE ATOM
Because of Dalton’s atomic theory, most scientists in the 1800s believed that the atom was like a
tiny solid ball that could not be broken up into parts. In 1897, a British physicist, J.J. Thomson,
discovered that this solid-ball model was not accurate. Thomson’s experiments used a
__________________ ray tube. It is a vacuum tube - all the air has been pumped out. Because
these rays originate at the ____________________, they are called cathode rays. Thomson
concluded that cathode rays are made up of invisible, _________________________ charged
particles referred to as electrons. From Thomson’s experiments, scientists had to conclude that
atoms were not just neutral _________________, but somehow were composed of electrically
charged particles. Matter is not negatively charged, so atoms can’t be negatively charged either.
If atoms contained extremely light, negatively charged particles, then they must also contain
positively charged particles — probably with a much greater _____________ than electrons. J.J.
Thomson said the atom was like ______________ pudding, a popular English dessert.
In 1909, a team of scientists led by Ernest Rutherford in England carried out the first of
several important experiments that revealed an arrangement far different from the plum pudding
model of the atom. The experimenters set up a lead-shielded box containing radioactive
polonium, which emitted a beam of positively charged subatomic particles through a small hole.
13
Unit 2- Atomic Theory and Structure
The sheet of ________________ foil was surrounded by a screen coated with zinc sulfide, which
glows when struck by the positively charged particles of the beam. The ________________
particles were expected to pass through without changing direction very much because
Rutherford thought the mass was evenly distributed in the atom. Because most of the particles
passed through the foil, they concluded that the atom is nearly all _______________
______________. Because so few particles were deflected, they proposed that the atom has a
small, dense, positively charged central core, called a ____________________. Alpha particles
are deflected by it if they get close enough to the nucleus.
R.A. Millikan found the charge of an electron to be -1.60 x 10-19 Coulombs in his
famous oil drop experiment. In 1910, J.J. Thomson discovered that neon consisted of atoms of
two different masses. Atoms of an element that are chemically alike but differ in mass are called
______________________ of the element. Because of the discovery of isotopes, scientists
hypothesized that atoms contained still a third type of particle that explained these differences in
mass. Calculations showed that such a particle should have a mass ____________________ to
that of a proton but no electrical _______________. The existence of this neutral particle, called
a neutron, was confirmed in the early 1930s. James _________________ is given credit for
discovering the neutron.

MODERN VIEW OF THE ATOM
The atom has two regions and is ___-dimensional. The nucleus is at the ___________________
and contains the protons and _____________________. The electron cloud is the region where
you might find an electron and most of the volume of an atom. The atomic _________________
of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. The number of
protons determines ____________________ of an element, as well as many of its chemical and
physical properties. Because atoms have no overall electrical charge, an atom must have as
many ____________________ as there are protons in its nucleus. Therefore, the atomic number
of an element also tells the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element. The mass of a
neutron is almost the same as the mass of a ________________. The sum of the protons and
neutrons in the nucleus is the ________________ number of that particular atom.
_____________________ of an element have different mass numbers because they have
different numbers of _______________, but they all have the same atomic number.
AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS
The atomic mass is the weighted average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that
element.
To determine the average atomic mass, first calculate the contribution of each isotope to the
average atomic mass, being sure to convert each ___ a fractional abundance. The average atomic
mass of the element is the sum of the mass contributions of each isotope.
Elements can be represented by using the symbol of the element, the mass number and the
atomic number. The mass number is the __________________ mass rounded to a whole
number.

NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY
Nuclear chemistry is the study of the structure of _________________ nuclei and the changes
they undergo. Marie Curie named the process by which materials such as uranium give off rays
radioactivity; the rays and particles emitted by a radioactive source are called
__________________. As you may recall, isotopes are atoms of the same element that have
different numbers of _________________. Isotopes of atoms with unstable nuclei are called
______________________. These unstable nuclei emit radiation to attain more stable atomic
configurations in a process called radioactive ________________. During radioactive decay,
unstable atoms lose _________________ by emitting one of several types of radiation.
TYPES OF RADIATION
The three most common types of radiation are alpha (α), ____________ (β), and gamma (γ). An
alpha particle (α) has the same composition as a __________________ nucleus - two protons
and ________ neutrons - and is therefore given the symbol _________. The charge of an alpha
particle is 2+ due to the presence of the two ___________________. Because of their mass and
charge, alpha particles are relatively slow-moving compared with other types of radiation. Thus,
alpha particles are not very ________________________ - a single sheet of paper stops alpha
21
Unit 2- Atomic Theory and Structure
particles. A beta particle is a very-fast moving ______________________ that has been emitted
from a neutron of an unstable nucleus. Beta particles are represented by the symbol _________.
The zero superscript indicates the insignificant mass of an electron in comparison with the mass
of a ____________________. The –1 subscript denotes the _____________________ charge of
the particle. Beta radiation consists of a stream of fast-moving electrons. Because beta particles
are both lightweight and fast moving, they have _____________________ penetrating power
than alpha particles. A thin metal foil is required to stop beta particles. Gamma rays are highenergy (_________________ wavelength) electromagnetic radiation. They are denoted by the
symbol __________. As you can see from the symbol, both the subscript and superscript are
zero. Thus, the emission of gamma rays does not change the __________________ number or
mass number of a nucleus. Gamma rays almost always accompany alpha and beta radiation, as
they account for most of the energy loss that occurs as a nucleus decays.

NUCLEAR STABILITY and DECAY
Radioactive nuclei undergo decay in order to gain _____________________. All elements with
atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioactive. Nuclear equations are used to show nuclear
transformations. Balanced nuclear equations require that both the ____________________
number and the mass number must be balanced.


Unit 2- Atomic Theory and Structure
RADIOACTIVE DECAY RATES
Radioactive decay rates are measured in half-lives. A half-life is the time required for one-half
of a radioisotope’s nuclei to ________________ into its products. For example, the half-life of
the radioisotope strontium-90 is 29 years. If you had 10.0 g of strontium-90 today, 29 years from
now you would have 5.0 g left. The decay continues until negligible strontium-90 remains.

Iron-59 is used in medicine to diagnose blood circulation disorders. The half-life of iron-59
is 44.5 days. How much of a 2.000-mg sample will remain after 133.5 days?

Cobalt-60 has a half-life of 5.27 years. How much of a 10.0 g sample will remain after
21.08 years?

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. How much of a 250. g sample will remain after
5730 years?
FISSION and FUSION
Heavy atoms (mass number > 60) tend to break into smaller atoms, thereby increasing their
________________________. Using a neutron to split a nucleus into fragments is called nuclear
_______________________. Nuclear fission releases a large amount of energy and several
neutrons. Since neutrons are products, one fission reaction can lead to more fission reactions, a
process called a ________________ reaction. A chain reaction can occur only if the starting
material has enough mass to sustain a chain reaction; this amount is called __________________
mass. The _____________________ of atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion. For example,
nuclear fusion occurs within the Sun, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form __________________
atoms. Fusion reactions can release very large amounts of energy but require extremely high
temperatures. For this reason, they are also called _____________________________ reactions.
APPLICATIONS OF NUCLEAR REACTIONS
Geiger counters, scintillation counters, and film badges are devices used to detect and measure
radiation. Geiger counters use ________________________ radiation, which produces an
electric current in the counter, to rate the strength of the radiation on a scale. Film badges are
often used to monitor the approximate radiation ______________________ of people working
with radioactive materials. Scintillation counters measure ionizing radiation. With proper safety
24
Unit 2- Atomic Theory and Structure
procedures, radiation can be useful in industry, in scientific experiments, and in medical
procedures. Nuclear power plants use the process of nuclear fission to produce heat in nuclear
reactors. The heat is used to generate steam, which is then used to drive __________________
that produce electricity. A radiotracer is a radioisotope that emits non-ionizing radiation and is
used to signal the presence of an element or of a specific substance. Radiotracers are used to
detect ______________________ and to analyze complex chemical reactions. Ionizing radiation
has many uses. A(n) _______________ is ionizing radiation, and ionizing radiation can be used
in medicine to kill cancerous cells. Most medical devices require sterilization after they are
packaged, and another trend has been the move to sterilization by __________________
radiation as opposed to other methods such as ethylene oxide gas. Advantages of gamma
irradiation include ______________, cost-effectiveness, and the elimination of the need for
special packaging. Chemical reaction rates are greatly affected by changes in temperature,
_____________________, and concentration, and by the presence of a catalyst. In contrast,
nuclear reaction rates remain ____________________ regardless of such changes. In fact, the
half-life of any particular radioisotope is constant. Because of this, radioisotopes, especially
carbon-14, can be used to determine the ____________ of an object. The process of determining
the age of an object by measuring the amount of a certain radioisotope remaining in that object is
called radiochemical dating.
EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR REACTIONS
Any exposure to radiation can damage living ____________. Gamma rays are very dangerous
because they penetrate ______________________ and produce unstable and reactive molecules,
which can then disrupt the normal functioning of cells. The amount of radiation the body
absorbs (a dose) is measured in units called rads and ____________. Everyone is exposed to
radiation, on average 100–300 millirems per year. A dose exceeding ____________ rem can be
fatal.

ELECTRONS IN ATOMS
LIGHT
Light is a kind of electromagnetic _____________________. All forms of electromagnetic
radiation move at 3.00 x 108 m/s. The ______________ is the baseline of a wave. The crest is
the high point on a wave, and the trough is low point on a wave. The amplitude of a wave is the
wave’s _____________ from the origin to a crest, or from the origin to a trough. Wavelength
(represented by λ, the Greek letter lambda) is the ___________________ distance between
equivalent points on a continuous wave. Wavelength is the distance from crest to crest or trough
to trough and is usually expressed in meters (m). _____________________ (represented by f ) is
the number of “waves” that pass a given point per second, and the units are cycles/sec or hertz
(Hz)
c = fλ
c = the speed of light
Frequency and wavelength are __________________ related, which means that as one goes up
the other goes _____________. Different frequencies of light correspond to different colors of
light. In 1900, the German physicist Max Planck began searching for an explanation as he
studied the light emitted from ___________________ objects. Matter can gain or lose energy
only in small, specific amounts called _______________. That is, a quantum is the minimum
amount of energy that can be gained or lost by a(n) ____________. That is, while a beam of
light has many wavelike characteristics, it also can be thought of as a stream of tiny particles, or
bundles of energy, called ________________. Thus, a photon is a particle of electromagnetic
radiation with no _____________ that carries a quantum of energy. Planck went further and
demonstrated mathematically that the energy of a quantum is ___________________ related to
the frequency of the emitted radiation.
E=hf
E = energy of the photon (J – Joules); f = frequency (Hz); h = Planck’s constant (J.s)
The energy of radiation increases as the radiation’s frequency, f, __________________.
Scientists knew that the wave model of light could not explain a phenomenon called the
____________________ effect. In the photoelectric effect, electrons, called
__________________________, are emitted from a metal’s surface when light of a certain
_______________________ shines on the surface. Einstein proposed that for the photoelectric
34
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
effect to occur, a photon must possess, at a minimum, the energy required to _______________
an electron from an atom of the metal.
THE BOHR MODEL OF THE ATOM
Niels Bohr, a young Danish physicist working in Rutherford’s laboratory in 1913, suggested that
the single electron in a ___________________ atom moves around the nucleus in only certain
allowed circular orbits. The atom looked like a miniature _________________ system. The
nucleus is represented by the sun, and the electrons act like the planets. The orbits are circular
and are at different levels. Amounts of ___________________ separate one level from another.
(Modern View: The atom has two regions and is 3-dimensional. The nucleus is at the
_________________ and contains the protons and neutrons. The electron _________________
is the region where you might find an electron and most of the volume of an atom.) Bohr
proposed that electrons must have enough energy to keep them in constant motion around the
___________________. Electrons have energy of motion that enables them to overcome the
attraction of the _________________ nucleus. Further away from the nucleus means more
energy. Electrons reside in ________________ levels.
THE QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL
Building on Planck’s and Einstein’s concepts of ____________________ energy (quantized
means that only certain values are allowed), Bohr proposed that the hydrogen atom has only
certain allowable energy ______________. The lowest allowable energy state of an atom is
called its _______________ state. When an atom gains energy, it is said to be in a(n)
__________________ state. When the atom is in an excited state, the electron can drop from the
higher-energy orbit to a _______________-energy orbit. As a result of this transition, the atom
emits a ____________________ corresponding to the difference between the energy levels
associated with the two orbits.
ATOMIC AND EMISSION SPECTRA
By heating a gas of a given element with electricity, we can get it to give off _______________.
Each element gives off its own characteristic colors. The spectrum can be used to
__________________ the atom. These are called line _______________. Each is unique to an
35
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
element. The spectrum of light released from excited atoms of an element is called the
_________________ spectrum of that element. As the electrons fall from the excited state, they
__________________ energy in the form of light. The further they fall, the ________________
the energy. This results in a higher frequency.
Use the Chemistry Reference Tables to answer the following:
(a) An electron falls from energy level 5 to 3. What is the wavelength of the light emitted?
(b) An electron falls from energy level 6 to 2. What is the wavelength of the light emitted?
(c) An electron falls from energy level 3 to 1. What type of electromagnetic radiation is
emitted (infrared, visible or ultraviolet)?
(d) An electron falls from energy level 4 to 2. What type of electromagnetic radiation is
emitted (infrared, visible or ultraviolet)?
(e) An electron falls from energy level 5 to 2. What color of visible light is emitted?
(f) An electron falls from energy level 3 to 2. What color of visible light is emitted?
MORE QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL
Like Bohr’s model, the quantum mechanical model limits an electron’s energy to certain values.
The space around the nucleus of an atom where the atom’s electrons are found is called the
electron ________________. A three-dimensional region around the nucleus called an atomic
__________________ describes the electron’s probable location. In general, electrons reside in
principal ________________ levels. As the energy level number increases, the orbital becomes
_______________, the electron spends more time ___________________ from the nucleus, and
the atom’s energy level increases. Principal energy levels contain energy
___________________. Principal energy level 1 consists of a single sublevel, principal energy
level 2 consists of __________ sublevels, principal energy level 3 consists of three sublevels,
and so on. Sublevels are labeled s, p, d, or f. The s sublevel can hold 2 electrons, the p sublevel
can hold _____ electrons, the d sublevel can hold 10 electrons, and the f sublevel can hold 14
electrons. Sublevels contain __________________. Each orbital may contain at most ________
electrons. There is one s orbital for every energy level, and the s orbital is
____________________ shaped. They are called the 1s, 2s, 3s, etc… orbitals. The p orbitals
start at the second energy level, reside along ______ different directions and have 3 different
36
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
________________ shapes. The d orbitals start at the ________________ energy level and have
____ different shapes. The f orbitals start at the fourth energy level and have ______ different
shapes.
ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS
Electron configurations represent the way electrons are arranged in atoms. The Aufbau principle
states that electrons enter the __________________ energy first. This causes difficulties
because of the ________________ of orbitals of different energies. At most there can be only 2
electrons per orbital, and they must have __________________ “spins.” Hund’s rule states that
when electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy, they don’t _________ up with an electron of
opposite spin until they have to.

PERIODIC TABLE
HISTORY
The Russian chemist, Dmitri ______________________ was studying the properties of the
elements and realized that the chemical and physical properties of the elements repeated in an
orderly way when he organized the elements according to increasing atomic ___________.
Mendeleev later developed an improved version of his table with the elements arranged in
horizontal ___________. This arrangement was the forerunner of today’s periodic table.
Patterns of changing properties repeated for the elements across the horizontal rows. Elements
in vertical ___________________ showed similar properties. Mendeleev grouped elements in
columns by similar properties in order of increasing atomic mass. He found some
inconsistencies and felt that the properties were more important than the mass, so he switched
order. Mendeleev left some _____________ in his periodic table, deciding there must be
undiscovered elements. He predicted their properties before they were found. Mendeleev is
considered to be the _________________ of the Periodic table. This repeated pattern (when
Mendeleev grouped elements in columns by similar properties) is an example of
__________________ in the properties of elements. Periodicity is the tendency to recur at
regular intervals. By 1860, scientists had already discovered _________ elements and
determined their atomic masses.
THE MODERN PERIODIC TABLE
Fifty years after Mendeleev, the British scientist Henry ________________ discovered that the
number of protons in the nucleus of a particular type of atom was always the same. When atoms
were arranged according to increasing atomic ___________________, the few problems with
Mendeleev's periodic table disappeared. Because of Moseley's work, the modern periodic table
is based on the atomic numbers of the elements. The statement that the physical and chemical
properties of the elements repeat in a regular pattern when they are arranged in order of
increasing atomic number is known as the periodic _____________. On the periodic table a
_________________, sometimes also called a series, consists of the elements in a horizontal
row. A __________________, sometimes also called a family, consists of the elements in a
vertical column. Elements are placed in columns by similar properties.
39
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
The elements in the A groups are called the __________________ elements. The B groups are
called the ____________________ elements. The two rows at the bottom of the table are called
the inner transition elements. Group 1A elements are the _________________ metals. Group
1A elements have ______ valence electron and form _______ ions after losing the one valence
electron. Group 2A elements are the alkaline earth metals. Group 2A elements have ______
valence electrons and form 2+ ions after losing the two __________________ electrons. Group
3A is called the _________________ group. Group 3A elements have ________ valence
electrons and form 3+ ions after losing the three valence electrons. Group _______ is called the
carbon group. Group 4A elements have four valence electrons and form 4+ ions after
___________________ the four valence electrons or 4- ions after ___________________ four
additional electrons. Group 5A is called the _____________________ group. Group 5A
elements have five valence electrons and form ________ ions after gaining three more electrons.
Group 6A is called the oxygen group. Group 6A elements have _______ valence electrons and
form 2- ions after ____________________ two more electrons. Group 7A is called the
____________________. Group 7A elements have seven valence electrons and form 1- ions
after gaining one more electron. The word halogen is from the Greek words for
“______________ former” so named because the compounds that halogens form with metals are
salt-like. Group 8A elements are the ________________ gases. Group 8A elements have eight
valence electrons except for helium which only has ________. The noble gases, with a full
complement of valence electrons, are generally unreactive. All transition elements have
_______ valence electrons.

METALS, NONMETALS AND METALLOIDS
Metals are elements that have ________________, conduct ____________ and electricity, and
usually bend without breaking. Most metals have one, two, or three valence electrons. All
metals except _________________ are solids at room temperature; in fact, most have extremely
_____________ melting points. A metal’s ___________________ is its ability to react with
another substance.
40
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
 Consult the “Activity Series of Metals” in the Chemistry Reference Tables to determine the
more active metal.
a) cobalt (Co) or manganese (Mn) ________
b) barium (Ba) or sodium (Na) ________
Although the majority of the elements in the periodic table are _________________, many
nonmetals are abundant in nature. Most nonmetals don’t conduct electricity, are much poorer
conductors of heat than metals, and are __________________ when solid. Many are
______________ at room temperature; those that are solids lack the luster of metals. Their
_____________________ points tend to be lower than those of metals. With the exception of
carbon, nonmetals have five, six, seven, or eight valence electrons. A nonmetal’s reactivity is its
ability to react with another substance.
 Consult the “Activity Series of Metals” in the Chemistry Reference Tables to determine the
less active nonmetal.
a) fluorine (F2) or chlorine (Cl2) _________
b) chlorine (Cl2) or iodine (I2) _________
__________________ have some chemical and physical properties of metals and other
properties of nonmetals. In the periodic table, the metalloids lie along the border between metals
and nonmetals. Some metalloids such as silicon, germanium (Ge), and arsenic (As) are
_____________________. A semiconductor is an element that does not conduct electricity as

PERIODIC TRENDS
Because the periodic table relates group and period numbers to valence electrons, it’s useful in
predicting atomic structure and, therefore, ______________________ properties.
41
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
Atomic Radius
Atomic radius is half the distance between two __________________ of a diatomic molecule.
Atomic size is influenced by two factors: (1) energy level – A _________________ energy level
is further away. (2) charge on nucleus - More charge (_________________) pulls electrons in
closer. As you go down a ___________________, each atom has another energy level so the
atoms get bigger. As you go across a period, the radius gets ____________________. Atoms
are in the same energy level, but as you move across the chart, atoms have a greater
___________________ charge (more protons). Therefore, the outermost electrons are closer.
 Choose the element from the pair with the larger atomic radius.
a) lithium (Li) or beryllium (Be) _________
b) silicon (Si) or tin (Sn) _________
 Choose the element from the pair with the smaller atomic radius.
a) silver (Ag) or gold (Au) _________
b) cesium (Cs) or barium (Ba) _______
Ionic Radius
When an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes a(n) ______________. Because
an electron has a negative charge, gaining electrons produces a _______________________
charged ion, an anion, whereas losing electrons produces a positively charged ion, a
________________. As you might expect, the loss of electrons produces a positive ion with a
radius that is ___________________ than that of the parent atom. Conversely, when an atom
gains electrons, the resulting negative ion is larger than the parent atom. Practically all of the
elements to the _____________ of group 4A of the periodic table commonly form positive ions.
As with neutral atoms, ___________________ ions become smaller moving across a period and
become larger moving down through a group. As you go down a group, you are adding a(n)
_________________ level. Ions get bigger as you go down.
Most elements to the right of group 4A (with the exception of the noble gases in group 8A) form
negative ions. These ions, although considerably larger than the positive ions to the left, also
decrease in ______________ moving across a period. Like the positive ions, the negative ions
increase in size moving down through a group. Across the period, nuclear charge
__________________ so they get smaller. Energy level changes between anions and cations.

a) Mg, Mg2+ _________

Ionization Energy
Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to completely _____________________
an electron from a gaseous atom. Removing one electron makes a ________ ion. The energy
required to do this is called the first ionization energy. The _____________________ the
nuclear charge (# of protons), the greater IE. The distance from the ____________________
increases IE. As you go down a group, first IE decreases because the electron is further away,
thus there is more shielding by the _______________ electrons from the pull of the positive
nucleus. All the atoms in the same period have the same energy level. They have the same
shielding, but as you move across the chart there is a(n) _____________________ nuclear
charge. Therefore, IE generally increases from left to right.
 Choose the element from the pair with the greater ionization energy.
a) silver (Ag) or iodine (I) _________
b) oxygen (O) or selenium (Se) ________
 Choose the element from the pair with the smaller ionization energy.
a) chromium (Cr) or tungsten (W) ______
b) sodium (Na) or magnesium (Mg) _______
Electronegativity
Electronegativity is the tendency for an atom to ___________________ electrons to itself when
it is chemically combined with another element. Large electronegativity means it
_______________ the electron toward it. The further you go down a group, the farther the
electron is away from the nucleus and the _____________ electrons an atom has. It is harder to
attract extra electrons if the available energy level is far from the nucleus, so the
43
Unit 3- Electrons and Periodicity
electronegativity _____________________. As you go across a row, electronegativity increases
as the ________________________ character of the elements decreases.
 Choose the element from the pair with the greater electronegativity.

b) selenium (Se) or bromine (Br) _______

BONDING
As atoms bond with each other, they _____________________ their potential energy, thus
creating more stable arrangements of matter. The force that holds two ________________
together is called a chemical bond. There are 3 types of bonding: ionic, ___________________,
and metallic. The number of valence electrons are easily found by looking up the group number
on the periodic table.
52
Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
Group 1A (Li, Na, K, etc.): 1 valence electron
Group 2A (Be, Mg, Ca, etc.): ______ valence electrons
Group 3A (B, Al, Ga, etc.): 3 valence electrons

have to.
Electron Configurations and Electron Dot Diagrams for Cations

energy level. As a result of the loss of the electron, the sodium ion (Na+) has the following
electron configuration: 1s22s22p6
Calcium has 2 valence electrons. These will come off, forming a positive ion.
53

Electron Configurations and Electron Dot Diagrams for Anions
Nonmetals gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. This means they want a(n)
________________ of electrons, 8 electrons. They make negative ions, ___________________.
If we look at an electron configuration, it makes sense. Example: Sulfur (S), 1s22s22p63s23p4,
has _______ valence electrons and needs to gain 2 more to have an octet.
The sulfur ion (S-2) has the same electron configuration as a noble gas: 1s22s22p63s23p6
Phosphorous has 5 valence electrons. It will gain _________ electrons to fill the outer shell.
Stable Electron Configurations
All atoms react to achieve __________________ gas configuration. Noble gases, except He,
have 2 s electrons and 6 p electrons, totaling 8 valence electrons. They obey the
____________________ rule.
IONIC BONDING
Anions and cations are involved in ionic bonding and are held together by __________________
charges, electrostatic attraction. The bond is formed through the ______________________ of
electrons. Electrons are transferred to achieve noble gas configuration. Ionic bonds occur
between _________________ and nonmetals. All the electrons must be accounted for! A
compound that is composed of _______________ is called an ionic compound. Note that only
the arrangement of electrons has changed. Nothing about the atom’s nucleus has changed. Ionic
compounds have a _______________________ structure, a regular repeating arrangement of
ions in the solid. Even though the ions are ___________________ bonded to one another, ionic
compounds are __________________. Strong repulsion breaks crystal apart. The structure is
rigid. They have _______________ melting points because of strong forces between ions. They
also conduct electricity in the _________________ and dissolved states. Any compound that
conducts electricity when melted or dissolved in water is a(n) ___________________________.

How many valence electrons must an atom have in its outer energy level in order to be
considered stable?
The energy required to separate one mole of the ions of an ionic compound is called
____________________ energy, which is expressed as a negative quantity. The greater (that is,
the more negative) the lattice energy is, the ______________________ the force of attraction
54
Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
between the ions. Lattice energy tends to be __________________________ for more-highlycharged ions (those atoms that have more electrons to give or those atoms that can take more
electrons). Lattice energy also tends to be greater for __________________ ions.


(more negative) lattice energy?

The electronegativity difference for two elements in an ionic compound is greater than or equal
to _______________.
COVALENT BONDING
A _______________________ is an uncharged group of two or more atoms held together by
covalent bonds. Covalent compounds occur between two ___________________ or a nonmetal
and hydrogen. The attraction of two atoms for a shared _______________ of electrons is called
a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons and neither atom has an ionic
______________________. Covalent bonds occur between 2 ___________________________
because nonmetals hold onto their valence electrons. They can’t give away electrons to bond,
yet, they still want _______________ gas configuration. They get it by sharing valence
electrons with each other. By sharing both atoms get to count the electrons toward noble gas
configuration. A ____________________ bond is formed from the sharing of two valence
electrons. The electronegativity difference for two elements in a covalent compound is between
_________ and 1.7.

Do atoms that share a covalent bond have an ionic charge?
Sometimes atoms share more than one pair of valence electrons. A ____________________
bond is when atoms share two pair of electrons, 4 electrons. A triple bond is when atoms share
three pair of electrons, _____ electrons. Triple bonds are ________________________ and
shorter than double bonds. Double bonds are stronger and shorter than
______________________ bonds.
55
Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
THE WETTER WAY
You can easily determine the number of bonds in a compound by performing the “Wetter Way.”
# bonds = (Σe- after – Σe- before ) / 2
The number of electrons before bonding is equal to the __________________________ number.
To get the number of electrons after bonding, double the number of electrons before bonding,
BUT DO NOT EXCEED ___________!
Example: CO2
C is in column 4A and therefore has 4 valence electrons before bonding. O is
in column 6A and therefore has 6 valence electrons before bonding.
Σ electrons before bonding
Carbon = 4
Two oxygens = 6 x 2 = 12
(The formula CO2 implies there are 2 oxygen atoms.)
Σ electrons before bonding = 4 + 12 = 16
Σ electrons after bonding
C has 4 valence e- before bonding, so it has (4x2) = 8 electrons after bonding
O has 6 valence e- before bonding, so it has (6x2) = 12 electrons after bonding
Remember 8 is the maximum electrons after bonding, so oxygen can only have 8 electrons even
though we calculated 12.
Carbon = 8
Two oxygens = 8 x 2 = 16
Σ electrons after bonding = 8 + 16 = 24
# bonds = (Σe- after – Σe- before) / 2 = (24 - 16) / 2 = 4 bonds
The element you have only 1 of goes in the center. The other elements surround it. Connect the
elements with a single line (a single bond). You have only used 2 of your calculated 4 bonds, so
you need to double up. A line represents 2 electrons. Count your lines for each element to
determine if extra electrons need to be added. Carbon has 4 lines attached which represent 8
electrons. No extra electrons are needed around carbon. Each oxygen has 2 lines attached which
represent 4 electrons. Oxygen needs 8 electrons after bonding, so each oxygen needs 4 electrons.

Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
METALLIC BONDING
The bonding in metals is explained by the _______________________ ____________ model,
which proposes that the atoms in a metallic solid contribute their valence electrons to form a
“sea” of electrons that surrounds metallic __________________. These delocalized electrons
are not held by any specific atom and can ________________ easily throughout the solid. Metal
atoms release their valence electrons into a sea of electrons shared by all of the metal atoms. The
bond that results from this _____________________ pool of valence electrons is called a
metallic bond. Metals hold onto their valence electrons very _______________________.
Think of them as positive ions floating in a sea of electrons. Because electrons are free to move
through the solid, metals conduct _______________________. Metals generally have extremely
______________ melting points because it is difficult to pull metal atoms completely away from
the group of cations and attracting electrons. Metals are ________________________ (able to
be hammered into sheets). Metals are also ________________________ (able to be drawn into
wire) because of the mobility of the particles. Electrons allow atoms to slide by. A mixture of
elements that has metallic properties is called a(n) _____________________.

POLARITY and VSEPR
How each atom fares in a tug-of-war for shared electrons is determined by comparing the
_________________________________ of the two bonded atoms. Recall that electronegativity
is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to ________________________ electrons.
Atoms with large electronegativity values, such as fluorine, attract shared valence electrons more
__________________ than atoms such as sodium that have small electronegativities.
Electronegativity is a periodic property. With only a few exceptions, electronegativity
values_____________________ as you move from left to right in any period of the periodic
table. Within any group, electronegativity values decrease as you go ___________________
the group. Fluorine has the highest value of ____________. The greater the difference between
the electronegativities of the bonding atoms, the more _____________________________ the
electrons are shared and the more polar the bond.
If the electronegativity difference between the two elements in question is:
between 0.0 – 1.7, the bond is ______________________
greater than 1.7, the bond is _____________________
When the electronegativity difference in a bond is 1.7 or greater, the sharing of electrons is so
unequal that you can assume that the electron on the less electronegative atom is
________________________ to the more electronegative atom. For example, ∆EN for cesium
and fluorine is 4.0 − 0.7 = 3.3. Therefore the bond is _________________.
COVALENT BONDS AND POLARITY
When the atoms in a bond are the same, the electrons are shared ________________________.
This results in a _______________________ covalent bond. _________________________
elements (H2, O2, N2, Cl2, Br2, I2, F2 and At2) have pure nonpolar covalent bonds. All other
covalent bonds are polar. The electron sharing is not equal, but it is not so unequal that a
complete _____________________ of electrons takes place.
58
Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
Consider hydrogen and chlorine. Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20, and chlorine has an
electronegativity of 3.16. The ________ pulls harder on the electrons because its
electronegativity is greater. The electrons spend more time near the Cl. These symbols,
__________________ plus (δ+) and delta minus (δ-), represent a partial positive charge and a
partial negative charge.
Polar molecules are molecules with a positive and a negative ______________. This requires
two things to be true: The molecule must contain _______________ bonds. (This can be
determined from differences in electronegativity.) Symmetry cannot ______________________
out the effects of the polar bonds. (Must determine geometry first.)

a. hydrogen fluoride (HF)
d. ammonia (NH3)
b. water (H2O)
e. carbon dioxide (CO2)
c. carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)
VSEPR
VSEPR stands for Valence Shell ______________________ ________________ Repulsion. It
predicts three-dimensional geometry of molecules. The valence shell includes the
______________________ electrons. The electron pairs try to get as far away as possible to
_______________________ repulsion. You can determine the angles of the bonds. VSEPR is
based on the number of pairs of valence electrons, both bonded and unbonded. An unbonded
pair of electrons is referred to as a _______________pair. Use the Wetter Way to calculate the
number of bonds and then draw the dot-dash diagram. The shape of the molecule and bond
angle can be determined from this diagram.
LINEAR
Consider the simplest molecule that exists—hydrogen, H2. Determine the number of bonds
using the Wetter Way.
H is in column 1A and therefore has 1 valence electron before bonding.
Σ electrons before bonding
Two hydrogens = 1 x 2 = 2
H – 1 valence e- before bonding, so it has (1x2) = 2 electrons after bonding
Σ electrons after bonding
59
Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
Two hydrogens = 2 x 2 = 4
(4 – 2) / 2 = 1, so H2 has 1 bond!
Connect the elements with a single bond. You have used all of the calculated bonds.

only one of goes in the _______________________. The other elements surround it. Connect
the elements with a single _________________ (a single bond). You have used all 4 of your
calculated bonds. Remember a line represents ___________ electrons. Count your lines for
each element to determine if extra electrons need to be added. Carbon has 4 lines attached which
represent _________ electrons. No extra electrons are needed around carbon. Each hydrogen
atom has one line attached which represents 2 electrons. No extra electrons are needed around
hydrogen. Single bonds fill all atoms. There are _________ bond pairs of electrons pushing
away. The electrons can _________________ their distance from one another by forming a 3-D
shape. The furthest they can get away is ___________º. This basic shape is a tetrahedral, a

INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
Intermolecular forces are forces of _______________________. They are what make solid and
liquid molecular compounds possible. The three intermolecular forces are _________________
bonds, dipole–dipole forces and London ____________________________ forces.
Hydrogen Bonding
A hydrogen bond is a _________________________________________ attraction that occurs
between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom
with at least ____________ lone electron pair. For a hydrogen bond to form, hydrogen must be
bonded to a fluorine, __________________________, or nitrogen atom. F, O, and N are very
electronegative so it is a very _______________________ dipole. Hydrogen bonding is the
_________________________ of the intermolecular forces. Examples include H2O, NH3, and
HF.
Dipole-dipole Forces
Polar molecules contain ___________________________ dipoles; that is, some regions of a
polar molecule are always ___________________________ negative and some regions of the
molecule are always partially positive. Attractions between _____________________________
charged regions of polar molecules are called dipole–dipole forces. Neighboring polar
molecules orient themselves so that oppositely charged regions _______________ up.
Opposites attract but are not completely hooked as in ionic solids. Dipole-dipole forces depend
on the number of _______________________. Bigger molecules result in more electrons, and
more electrons mean ________________________ forces. Dipole–dipole forces are stronger
than dispersion forces as long as the molecules being compared have approximately the same
mass. Examples of compounds that exhibit dipole-dipole forces include CO, HCl, and PH3.
London Dispersion Forces
Dispersion forces are ____________________ forces that result from temporary shifts in the
______________________ of electrons in electron clouds. Remember that the electrons in an
electron cloud are in constant _____________________. When two nonpolar molecules are in
62
Unit 4 – Types of Bonding
close contact, especially when they collide, the electron cloud of one molecule
_______________________ the electron cloud of the other molecule. The electron density
around each nucleus is, for a moment, greater in one region of each cloud. Each molecule forms
a __________________________ dipole. When temporary dipoles are close together, a weak
dispersion force exists between oppositely charged regions of the dipoles. Due to the temporary
nature of the dipoles, dispersion forces are the __________________________ intermolecular
force. Dispersion forces exist between ____________ gases and compounds that are nonpolar.
Examples include Ar, Cl2, Br2, CH4, and CO2. Dispersion forces ______________________ as
the mass of the molecule increases. C2H6 (MW = 30.0 g/mol) has stronger dispersion forces than
CH4 (MW = 16.0 g/mol). This difference in dispersion forces explains why fluorine and
chlorine are gases, bromine is a __________________________, and iodine is a solid at room
temperature. The molecular mass of iodine is greater than that of bromine, and bromine has a
greater mass than chlorine.
Intermolecular Forces
To determine what type of intermolecular force a compound has, ask yourself the following
questions.

Does the compound contain hydrogen attached to N, O, or F?
o If yes, the force is hydrogen bonding.
Determine the number of bonds from the Wetter Way and draw the dash-dot diagram.


Unit 5 – Nomenclature
NAMING COMPOUNDS AND WRITING FORMULAS
Recall that the periodic table is more than a list of elements. Elements are put in columns
because of _____________________ properties. Each column is called a group. A compound is
made of two or more ______________________. The name should tell us how many and what
type of atoms. There are two types of compounds: ___________________ compounds and
molecular compounds. The simplest ratio of the ions represented in an ionic compound is called
a ______________________ unit. The overall charge of any formula unit is
________________. In order to write a correct formula unit, one must know the charge of each
ion. Atoms are electrically _____________________. They have the same number of protons
and electrons. ________________ are atoms, or groups of atoms, with a charge. Ions have a
different numbers of electrons. An anion is a _____________________ ion. An anion has
gained electrons. Nonmetals can ________________ electrons. The charge is written as a
superscript on the right. F1- has gained _________ electron. O2- has gained __________
electrons. A ___________________ is a positive ion. It is formed by __________________
electrons. There are more _____________________ than electrons. ______________________
form cations. K1+ has lost one electron. Ca2+ has lost __________ electrons. The charges of
monatomic ions, or ions containing only one atom, can often be determined by referring to the
periodic table or table of common ions based on group number. The charge of a monatomic ion
is equal to its _________________________ number. For most of the Group ________
elements, the Periodic Table can tell what kind of ion they will form from their location.
Elements in the same group have similar properties, including the charge when they are ions.
NAMING CATIONS
We will use the systematic way. For cations, if the charge is always the same (Group A) just
write the _________________ of the metal. Transition metals (as well as tin and lead) can have
more than one type of charge. The charge is indicated with ___________________ numerals in
parenthesis. Zinc (Zn2+) and silver (Ag1+), although transition metals, only have __________
possible charge. Roman numerals ARE NOT used for zinc and silver. Li1+ is called the
____________________ ion. __________ is called the Strontium ion. Fe2+ is called the Iron
(II) ion. Iron is a transition metal, so the charge is not always the same. The name of the metal

APPLICATIONS OF THE MOLE
Molar Mass
The molar mass of a compound is the mass of a mole of the
_________________________________ particles of the compound. Because each
representative particle is composed of two or more atoms, the molar mass of the compound is
found by adding the molar masses of all of the ________________ in the representative particle.
To determine the molar mass of an element, find the element’s symbol on the periodic table and
round the mass so there is __________ digit beyond the decimal. For example, the molar mass of
carbon (C) is ____________ g/mol, of chlorine (Cl) is ___________ g/mol and of iron (Fe) is
_____________ g/mol. In the case of NH3, the molar mass equals the mass of one mole of
nitrogen atoms plus the mass of ___________ moles of hydrogen atoms.
Molar mass of NH3 = molar mass of N + 3 (molar mass of H)
Molar mass of NH3 = 14.0 + 3 (1.0) = 17.0 g/mol
Mole Conversions
You can use the molar mass of a compound to convert between mass and moles, just as you used
the molar mass of elements to make these conversions.
 How many moles of magnesium in 56.3 g of Mg?
77
Unit 5 – Nomenclature
 How many moles are in 146 grams of NH3?
 How many moles are in 295 grams of Cr(OH)3?
 How many moles are in 22.5 grams of HCl?
 How many grams of sodium chloride in 3.45 moles of NaCl?
 How many grams are in 0.120 moles of AlF3?
 How many grams are in 13.0 moles of H2SO4?
 How many grams are in 1.6 moles of K2CrO4?
Percent Composition
Recall that every chemical compound has a definite composition - a composition that is always
the same wherever that compound is found. The composition of a compound is usually stated as
the percent by mass of each element in the compound. The percent of an element (X) in a
compound can be found in the following way.
%X 

 Determine the percent composition of chlorine in calcium chloride (CaCl2). First,
analyze the information available from the formula. A mole of calcium chloride consists
of one mole of calcium ions and ___________ moles of chloride ions. Next, gather
molar mass information from the atomic masses on the periodic table. To the mass of
one mole of CaCl2, a mole of calcium ions contributes ______________ g, and two
moles of chloride ions contribute
2 x 35.5 g = 71.0 g for a total molar mass of
111.1 g/mol for CaCl2. Finally, use the data to set up a calculation to determine the
percent by mass of an element in the compound.
 Determine the percent composition of carbon in sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2).
 Calculate the percent composition aluminum of aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
 Determine the percent composition of oxygen in magnesium nitrate, which has the
formula Mg(NO3)2.

 Determine the percent composition of oxygen in zinc nitrite, which has the formula
Zn(NO2)2.
Percent Water in a Hydrate
Hydrates are compounds that incorporate ________________________ molecules into their
fundamental solid structure. In a hydrate (which usually has a specific crystalline form), a
defined number of water molecules are associated with each formula unit of the primary
material. Gypsum is a hydrate with __________ water molecules present for every formula unit
of CaSO4. The chemical formula for gypsum is CaSO4 • 2 H2O and the chemical name is calcium
sulfate __________________. Note that the dot in the formula (or multiplication sign) indicates
that the waters are there.
Other examples of hydrates are: lithium perchlorate trihydrate - LiClO4 • 3 H2O;
magnesium carbonate pentahydrate - MgCO3 • 5 H2O;
and copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate - CuSO4 • 5 H2O.
The water in the hydrate (referred to as "water of hydration") can be removed by heating the
hydrate. When all hydrating water is removed, the material is said to be
__________________________ and is referred to as a(n) ___________________________.
Experimentally measuring the ________________________ water in a hydrate involves first
heating a known mass of the hydrate to remove the waters of hydration and then measuring the
mass of the anhydrate remaining. The difference between the two masses is the mass of water
_______________. Dividing the mass of the water lost by the original mass of hydrate used is
equal to the fraction of water in the compound. Multiplying this fraction by ___________ gives
the percent water.
 Determine the percent water in CuSO4 • 5 H2O (s).
 Determine the percent water in MgCO3 •5 H2O (s).
 Determine the percent water in LiClO4 • 3 H2O (s).
Empirical Formula
You can use percent composition data to help identify an unknown compound by determining its
empirical formula. The empirical formula is the ________________________ whole-number
ratio of atoms of elements in the compound. In many cases, the empirical formula is the actual
79
Unit 5 – Nomenclature
formula for the compound. For example, the simplest ratio of atoms of sodium to atoms of
chlorine in sodium chloride is 1 atom Na : 1 atom Cl. So, the empirical formula of sodium
chloride is Na1Cl1, or NaCl, which is the true formula for the compound. The formula for
glucose is C6H12O6. The coefficients in glucose are all divisible by 6. The empirical formula of
glucose is CH2O.
 Determine the empirical formula for Tl2C4H4O6.
 Determine the empirical formula for N2O4.
The percent composition of an unknown compound is found to be 38.43% Mn, 16.80% C, and
44.77% O. Determine the compound’s empirical formula. Because percent means “parts per
hundred parts,” assume that you have ___________ g of the compound. Then calculate the
number of moles of each element in the 100 g of compound. To obtain the simplest wholenumber ratio of moles, _________________ each number of moles by the smallest number of
moles. Find the whole number mole ratio for the compound. These numbers become
the____________________________ in the empirical formula.
 Determine the empirical formula of the following compound: 31.9 g Mg, 27.1 g P
 The composition of an unknown acid is 40.00% carbon, 6.71% hydrogen, and
53.29% oxygen. Calculate the empirical formula for the acid.
 The composition of an unknown ionic compound is 60.7% nickel and 39.3% fluorine.

 The composition of a compound is 6.27 g calcium and 1.46 g nitrogen. Calculate the
empirical formula for the compound.
 Find the empirical formula for a compound consisting of 63.0% Mn and 37.0% O.
Molecular Formula
For many compounds, the empirical formula is not the true formula. A molecular formula tells
the ___________________ number of atoms of each element in a molecule or formula unit of a
compound. The molecular formula for a compound is either the same as the empirical formula
or a whole-number _______________________ of the empirical formula. In order to determine
the molecular formula for an unknown compound, you must know the molar mass of the
compound in addition to its empirical formula. Then you can compare the molar mass of the
compound with the molar mass represented by the empirical formula.

Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
All chemical reactions have two parts: (1) A substance that undergoes a reaction is called a
__________________________. In other words, reactants are the substances you start with.
(2) When reactants undergo a chemical change, each new substance formed is called a
___________________________. In other words, the products are the substances you end up
with. The reactants turn into the products. Reactants → Products. In a chemical reaction, the
way atoms are joined is changed. Atoms aren’t __________________________ or destroyed.
Chemical reactions can be described several ways.
 In a sentence: Copper reacts with chlorine to form copper (II) chloride.
 In a word equation: Copper + chlorine → copper (II) chloride
The arrow separates the reactants from the products. The arrow reads “reacts to
________________.” The plus sign reads “_____________.” (s) after the formula implies the
substance is a ___________________. (g) after the formula implies the substance is a gas. (l)
after the formula implies the substance is a ______________________. (aq) after the formula
implies the substance is aqueous, a solid dissolved in _____________________. __________
used after a product indicates a gas, same as (g). ↓ used after a product indicates a
________________, same as (s). _____________ indicates a reversible reaction.
________________ or ________________ shows that heat is supplied to the reaction.
___________________ is used to indicate a catalyst used supplied, in this case, platinum. A
catalyst is a substance that ____________________ ____________ a reaction without being
changed by the reaction. Enzymes are biological or ______________________ catalysts.
There are seven elements that never want to be alone. They form ________________________
molecules.H2 , N2 , O2 , F2 , __________ , Br2 , I2. (1 + 7 pattern on the periodic table)
The following are indications that a chemical reaction has occurred: formation of a
____________________________, evolution of a gas, _____________________ change, and
absorption or release of ________________.
A ________________________ formula uses formulas and symbols to describe a reaction. All
chemical equations are sentences that describe reactions.
88
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
 Convert the following sentences to chemical equations.
a) Solid iron (III) sulfide reacts with gaseous hydrogen chloride to form solid iron (II)
chloride and hydrogen sulfide gas.
b) Nitric acid dissolved in water reacts with solid sodium carbonate to form liquid
water and carbon dioxide gas and sodium nitrate dissolved in water.
 Convert the following chemical equations to sentences.
a) Fe (s) + O2 (g) → Fe2O3 (s)
b) Cu (s) + AgNO3 (aq) → Ag (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq)
Balancing Equations
Atoms can’t be ______________________ or destroyed. All the atoms we start with we must
end up with. A balanced equation has the same number of each element on both
_________________ of the equation. Example: C + O2 → CO
This equation is NOT
balanced. There is one carbon atom on the left and ________ on the right. There are two
oxygen atoms on the left and only one on the right. We need one more oxygen atom in the
products. We can’t change the formula, because it describes what it is. In order to have two
oxygen atoms, another CO must be produced. But where did the other carbon come from? We
must have started with two carbon atoms. The balanced chemical equation is 2 C + O2 → 2 CO
Rules for Balancing
 Write the correct formulas for all the reactants and products.
 Count the number of atoms of each type appearing on both sides.
 Balance the elements one at a time by adding coefficients (the numbers in front).
 Check to make sure it is balanced.
Never change a _________________________ to balance an equation. If you change the
formula you are describing a different reaction. Never put a coefficient in the middle of a
formula. 2 NaCl is okay; Na2Cl is not.
 Balance the following reaction. H2 + O2 → H2O
Balance elements in the following order: (1) metals; (2) nonmetals; (3) hydrogen; and (4)
oxygen
89
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
If an atom appears more than once on a side, balance it last. If you fix everything except one
element, and it is even on one side and odd on the other, double the first number, then move on
from there.
 Balance the following equations.
1) _____ CH4 + _____ O2 → _____ CO2 + _____ H2O
2) _____ AgNO3 + _____ Cu → _____ Cu(NO3)2 + ______ Ag
3) _____ Mg + _____ N2 → _____ Mg3N2
4) _____ P + _____ O2 → ______ P4O10
5) _____ Na + _____ H2O → _____ H2 + _____ NaOH
6) _____ Pb(NO3)2 + _____ K2CrO4  ______ PbCrO4 + ______ KNO3
7) _____ MnO2 + _____ HCl  _____ MnCl2 + ______ H2O + _____ Cl2
8) _____ Ba(CN)2 + _____ H2SO4  _____ BaSO4 + _____ HCN
9) _____ Zn(OH)2 + _____ H3PO4  _____ Zn3(PO4)2 + _____ H2O
TYPES OF REACTIONS
Reactions fall into 5 categories. We will recognize the type by the reactants. We will be able to
predict the products. For some we will be able to predict whether they will happen at all.
Synthesis Reactions
Synthesize means to put together. Whenever two or more substances combine to form one single
product, the reaction is called a synthesis reaction.
Examples: Ca + O2 → CaO
and
P2O5 + 3 H2O → 2 H3PO4
We can predict the products if they are two elements. All you need to do is combine the
elements, metals first, and criss-cross oxidation numbers if necessary. After predicting the
product, the reaction must be balanced.
 Mg + N2 →
 CaO + H2O →
On page 6 of the Chemistry Reference Packet, this reaction is an example of “Metal oxide water reactions.” The product listed in the packet is “base.” A base is a metallic hydroxide.
 SO2 + H2O →
90
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
On page 6 of the Chemistry Reference Packet, this reaction is an example of “Nonmetal oxide water reactions.” The product listed in the packet is “________________.” The acid is a ternary
acid. Ternary acids start with _________ and end in O. The other element goes in the center.
This is the only compound for which you can add the number of elements and use these numbers
as subscripts.
 Write and balance the following synthesis reactions.
a) Ca + Cl2 →
b) Fe + O2 →
HINT: Use iron (II).
c) K2O + H2O →
d) Al + O2 →
e) SO3 + H2O →
f) N2O5 + H2O →
Decompositions Reactions
The word decompose implies the compound will “fall apart.” In a decomposition reaction, one
compound breaks down into _____________ or more simple substances.
NaCl → Na + Cl2
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
We can easily predict the products if it is a binary compound. A binary compound is made up of
only two elements. The compound merely falls apart into its elements.
 H2O →
 HgO →
If the compound has more than two elements, you must consult the Reference Tables, page 6.
 NiCO3 →
NiCO3 is called nickel (II) carbonate. The packet states that a metallic carbonate decomposes to
form a MO (metallic oxide) and CO2. The metallic oxide is nickel (II) oxide.
 Use the Chemistry Reference Tables to write and balance the following decomposition
reactions.
a) KClO3 →
b) CaBr2 →
c) Li2CO3 →
91
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
d) Cr(OH)2 →
e) NaHCO3 →
f) HNO3 →
(Dinitrogen pentoxide one of the products.)
Single Replacement
In a single-displacement reaction, one element takes the place of another in a compound. One
reactant must be an element, and the one reactant must be a _______________________. The
products will be a different element and a different compound.
F2 + LiCl → LiF + Cl2
Remember zinc, Zn, always forms a ___________ ion doesn’t need parenthesis. ZnCl2 is zinc
chloride. In addition, silver, Ag, always forms a ___________ ion. AgCl is silver chloride.
Some single replacement reactions do not occur because some elements are not as
________________ as others. A more active element _________________________ a less
active element. There is a list referred to as the Activity Series on page 7 of your Chemistry
Reference Packet. A higher element on the list replaces lower element. If the element by itself
is lower on the list, the reaction will ___________ occur.
Metals replace metals (and hydrogen)
 K + NaCl →
Potassium wants to replace ________________________. You must check the activity series on
page 7 of your Chemistry Reference Packet to see if this is possible. Because K is higher,
potassium can replace sodium. The potassium will bond with the _____________________ and
the sodium will be alone. You must always check to see if the compound formed needs crisscrossing. Check for balancing.
 Sn + FeCl3 →
Because Sn is NOT higher, tin cannot replace iron. No reaction occurs.
 Write and balance the following single replacement reaction.
a) Rb + AlN →
c) Ag + CoBr2 →
b) Zn + HCl →
Metals replace hydrogen
 Na + H2O (cold) →
92
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
Think of water as HOH. Metals high enough on the activity series replace the first ______ and
combine with the OH1- (hydroxide) according to page 6 of the Reference Tables. Is sodium
above hydrogen and higher than the line marked “Replace hydrogen from cold water” on the
activity series? Since the answer is yes, sodium replaces the first H, bonding with hydroxide.
 Mg + HCl →
Metals higher on the activity series replace the H and combine with the nonmetal according to
page 6 of the Reference Tables. Hydrogen gas is a second product. Is magnesium above
hydrogen on the activity series?
 Write and balance the following single replacement reactions.
a) Ag + H2O (steam) →
c) Cr + H3PO4 → (HINT: Use Cr3+ )
b) Cu + H2SO4 →
d) Ca + H2O (steam) →
Nonmetals can replace other ________________________. This is limited to F2 , Cl2 , Br2 and
I2 The order of activity is listed in the Chemistry Reference Packet, page 7. Higher replaces
_____________.
 F2 + HCl →
Is fluorine above chlorine in the activity series of halogens? Since the answer is yes, fluorine
replaces the chlorine, bonding with hydrogen.
 Write and balance the following single replacement reactions.
a) Br2 + KCl →
b) Cl2 + KI →
Double Replacement
In double-displacement reactions, the positive portions of two ___________________
compounds are interchanged. The reactants must be two ionic compounds or ______________.
Double replacement reactions usually take place in ________________________ solution.
 NaOH + FeCl3 →
The positive ions change place. You must check to see if you need to criss-cross the products.
Now balance. A double replacement reaction will only happen if one of the products: (1)
doesn’t dissolve in water and forms a __________________, (2) is a _____________ that
bubbles out, or (3) is a _________________________ compound usually water.
3NaOH + FeCl3 → Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl
93
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
None of the products are familiar gases. Both products are ionic (not covalent) because they
start with metals. We must consult the Solubility Rules on page 6 of the Chemistry Reference
Tables to determine if a solid (a ________________________) is formed. The “Soluble” side of
the Solubility Rules states that Group 1 (IA) salts are soluble; therefore, NaCl is soluble and is
NOT the precipitate.
The “Insoluble” side of the Solubility Rules states that all hydroxides except Group 1, Sr, Ba and
NH41+ are INSOLUBLE. Therefore, Fe(OH)3 is the precipitate (solid). In molecular equations,
the formulas of the compounds are written as though all species existed as molecules or whole
units. An ionic equation shows dissolved ionic compounds in terms of their free ions. Ions that
are not involved in the overall reaction are called spectator ions. The net ionic equation indicates
only the species that actually take part in the reaction. The following steps are useful for writing
ionic and net ionic equations:
1) Write a balanced molecular equation for the reaction.
2) Rewrite the equation to indicate which substances are in ionic form in solution.
Remember that all soluble salts (and other strong electrolytes), are completely dissociated
into cations and anions. This procedure gives us the ionic equation.
3) Lastly, identify and cancel spectator ions on both sides of the equation to arrive at the net
ionic equation.
Example: sodium hydroxide + iron (III) chloride yields iron (III) hydroxide + sodium
chloride
Balanced Molecular Equation: 3 NaOH + FeCl3  Fe(OH)3 + 3 NaCl
Complete Ionic Equation:
3Na1+ + 3OH1- + Fe3+ + 3Cl1-  Fe(OH)3 + 3Na1+ + 3Cl1Net Ionic Equation: 3OH1- + Fe3+  Fe(OH)3
 Write and balance the following double replacement reaction. Assume the reaction takes
place. In addition, identify the precipitate and write the net ionic equation.
a) CaCl2 + NaOH →
c) KOH + Fe(NO3)3 →
b) CuCl2 + K2S →
d) (NH4)2SO4 + BaF2 →
94
Unit 6- Chemical Reactions
Combustion
A combustion reaction is one in which a substance rapidly combines with
____________________ to form one or more oxides. Combustion reactions involve a
compound composed of only C and H (and maybe O) that is reacted with oxygen gas. If the
combustion is complete, the products will be CO2 and __________________. Combustion
reactions produce heat, and are therefore considered exothermic reactions.
 Complete and balance the following combustion reactions.
a) C4H10 + O2 →
c) C8H8 + O2 →
b) C6H12O6 + O2 →
d) C3H8O3 + O2 →

Unit 8- Gas Laws
THE GAS LAWS
The gas laws describe how gases behave. They can be predicted by theory and the amount of
change can be calculated with mathematical equations. One ____________________________
is equal to 760 mm Hg, 760 torr, or _______________ kPa (kilopascals).

Perform the following pressure conversions.
a) 144 kPa = ______________ atm
b) 795 mm Hg = ______________ atm
c) 669 torr = ______________ kPa
d) 1.05 atm = ______________ mm Hg
Air pressure at higher altitudes, such as on a mountaintop, is slightly ______________________
than air pressure at sea level. Air pressure is measured using a ________________________.
More molecules mean more ____________________ between the gas molecules themselves and
more collisions between the gas molecules and the walls of the container. Number of molecules
is ________________________ proportional to pressure. Doubling the number of gas particles
in a basketball _____________________ the pressure. Gases naturally move from areas of high
pressure to ____________ pressure because there is empty space to move in. If you double the
number of molecules, you _____________________ the pressure. As you remove molecules
from a container, the pressure ________________________ until the pressure inside equals the
pressure outside. In a smaller container, molecules have less room to move. The molecules hit
the sides of the container _________________ often, striking a smaller area with the same force.
As volume decreases, pressure increases. Volume and pressure are ______________________
proportional. As the pressure on a gas increases, the volume decreases. Raising the temperature
of a gas increases the _______________________ if the volume is held constant. At higher
temperatures, the particles in a gas have greater ________________________ energy. They
move faster and collide with the walls of the container more often and with greater
___________________, so the pressure rises. If you start with 1 liter of gas at 1 atm pressure
and 300 K and heat it to 600 K, one of 2 things happens. Either the volume will increase to
2 liters at ______ atm, or the pressure will increase to ______ atm while the volume remains
constant.

Unit 8- Gas Laws
Ideal Gases and the Kinetic Molecular Theory
In this unit we will assume the gases behave ideally. _____________________ gases do not
really exist, but this makes the math easier and is a close approximation. Gas particles are much
smaller than the spaces between them. The particles have negligible _____________________.
There are no attractive or repulsive ___________________ between gas molecules. Gas
particles are in constant, _________________________ motion. Until they bump into something
(another particle or the side of a container), particles move in a straight line. No kinetic energy is
____________________ when gas particles collide with each other or with the walls of their
container. All gases have the same ______________________ energy at a given temperature.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter.
There are no gases for which this is true. Real gases behave more ideally at ________________
temperature and _________________ pressure. At low temperature, the gas molecules move
more _______________________, so attractive forces are no longer negligible. As the pressure
on a gas increases, the molecules are forced closer together and _________________________
forces are no longer negligible. Therefore, real gases behave more ideally at high temperature
and low pressure.
Avogadro’s Law
Avogadro’s law states that equal volumes of different gases (at the same temperature and
pressure) contain equal numbers of ________________ or molecules. 2 liters of helium has the
same number of particles as ______ liters of oxygen. The molar volume for a gas is the volume
that one mole occupies at 0.00ºC and 1.00 atm. 1 mole = 22.4 L at STP (standard temperature
and pressure). As a result, the volume of gaseous reactants and products can be expressed as
small whole numbers in reactions.

Unit 9- Solids, Liquids and Phase Changes
SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS
States of Matter
There are ______ states of matter. A solid is a form of matter that has its own definite
_____________ and volume. A solid cannot _________________. The particles can vibrate but
cannot move around. The particles of matter in a solid are very tightly ____________________;
when heated, a solid expands, but only slightly. A liquid is a form of matter that flows, has
____________________ (definite) volume, and takes the _________________ of its container.
The particles in a liquid are not rigidly held in place and are _______________ closely packed
than are the particles in a solid; liquid particles are able to move past each other. A liquid is not
very __________________________. Like solids, liquids tend to expand when heated. A gas is
a form of matter that flows to conform to the ____________________ of its container and fills
the entire _______________________ of its container. Compared to solids and liquids, the
particles of gases are very far apart. Because of the significant amount of space between
particles, gases are easily compressed. _____________________ is composed of electrons and
positive ions at temperatures greater than ____________ °C. The sun and other stars are
examples of plasma.

Identify the following as a property of a solid, liquid or gas. The answer may include
more that one state of matter.
1. flows and takes the shape of a container
2. compressible
3. made of particles held in a specific arrangement
4. has definite volume
5. always occupies the entire space of its container
6. has a definite volume but flows
The word_____________________ refers to the gaseous state of a substance that is a solid or a
liquid at room temperature. For example, steam is a vapor because at room temperature water
exists as a liquid. Some substances are described as _______________________, which means
that they change to a gas easily at room temperature. Alcohol and gasoline are ______________
volatile than water. Kinetic-molecular theory predicts the constant motion of the liquid particles.
Individual liquid molecules do not have fixed positions in the liquid. However, forces of
130
Unit 9- Solids, Liquids and Phase Changes
________________________ between liquid particles limit their range of motion so that the
particles remain closely packed in a fixed volume. These attractive forces are called
___________________________ forces. Inter = between. Molecular = molecules. A liquid
diffuses more _______________________ than a gas at the same temperature, however, because
intermolecular attractions interfere with the flow. __________________________ is a measure
of the resistance of a liquid to flow. Viscosity decreases with ________________________
temperature. Particles in the middle of the liquid can be attracted to particles above them, below
them, and to either side. For particles at the surface of the liquid, there are no attractions from
above to balance the attractions from _______________. Thus, there is a net attractive force
pulling down on particles at the surface. _____________________ ____________________ is a
measure of the inward pull by particles in the interior. Soaps and detergents decrease the surface
tension of water by disrupting the _______________________ bonds between water molecules.
For a substance to be a solid rather than a liquid at a given temperature, there must be strong
attractive forces acting between particles in the solid. These forces limit the motion of the
particles to __________________________ around fixed locations in the solid. Thus, there is
more order in a solid than in a liquid. The particles can only vibrate and revolve in place.
Because of this order, solids are much less _________________ than liquids and gases. In fact,
solids are not classified as fluids. Most solids are more _________________ than most liquids.
A crystalline solid is a solid whose atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in an orderly,
geometric, three-dimensional structure. Most solids are _____________________. Amorphous
solids lack an orderly internal structure. Think of them as __________________________
liquids. Examples of amorphous solids include ____________________ and glass.
Phase Changes
If a substance is usually a liquid at room temperature (as water is), the gas phase is called a
_________________. Vaporization is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas or vapor.
Vaporization is an endothermic process - it requires _______________. When vaporization
occurs only at the _____________________ of an uncontained liquid (no lid on the container),
the process is called evaporation. Molecules at the surface break away and become gas. Only
those with enough _____________________ energy (KE) escape. Evaporation is a
_______________________ process. It requires heat, which is endothermic.
131
Unit 9- Solids, Liquids and Phase Changes
__________________ pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor over a liquid. As temperature
increases, water molecules gain kinetic energy and vapor pressure ______________________.
When the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure, the liquid has reached its
boiling point, which is 100°C for water at sea level. Recall that standard atmospheric pressure
equals ______ atm. At this point, molecules throughout the liquid have the energy to enter the
gas or vapor phase. The temperature of a liquid can never ______________ above its boiling
point. Boiling is an __________________________ process. It requires the addition of heat.
As you go up into the mountains (increase in elevation), atmospheric pressure ______________.
Lower external pressure requires ______________________ vapor pressure. Lower vapor
pressure means lower ______________________ point. As a result, spaghetti cooks slower in
the mountains than at the beach. When you use a pressure cooker to can vegetables, the external
pressure around the mason jars rises. This raises the vapor pressure needed in order for water to
boil. In turn, the boiling point is raised so the food cooks ______________________.
Some phase changes release energy into their surroundings. For example, when a vapor loses
energy, it may change into a __________________. Condensation is the process by which a gas
or vapor becomes a liquid. It is the ___________________ of vaporization. In a closed system,
the rate of vaporization can equal the rate of condensation. When first sealed, the molecules
gradually _________________ the surface of the liquid. As the molecules build up above the
liquid, some condense back to a liquid. Equilibrium is reached when the rate of vaporization
__________________ the rate of condensation. Molecules are constantly changing phase. The
total amount of liquid and vapor remains _______________________.
The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the ____________________ holding the
particles together are broken and the solid becomes a liquid. When heated the particles vibrate
more _____________________ until they shake themselves free of each other. The freezing
point is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a _________________________ solid. The
freezing point is the _______________ as the melting point. The process by which a solid
changes directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid is called _______________________.
Solid air fresheners and dry ice are examples of solids that sublime. When a substance changes
from a gas or vapor directly into a solid without first becoming a liquid, the process is called
132
Unit 9- Solids, Liquids and Phase Changes
_________________________. Deposition is the reverse of sublimation. _______________ is
an example of water deposition.

Classify the following phase changes.
1. dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) to carbon dioxide gas ____________________________
2. ice to liquid water ________________________________
3. liquid water to ice ________________________________
4. water vapor to liquid water ________________________________
Phase Diagrams
Temperature and _____________________ control the phase of a substance. A phase diagram is
a graph of pressure versus temperature that shows in which phase a substance exists under
different conditions of temperature and pressure. A phase diagram typically has ______ regions,
each representing a different phase and three curves that ________________________ each
phase.
0.0098
Temperature (°C)
The points on the curves (lines) indicate conditions under which two phases coexist. The critical
point indicates the critical pressure and the critical temperature above which a substance cannot
exist as a ____________________. The triple point is the point on a phase diagram that
represents the temperature and pressure at which three phases of a substance can
__________________________. The __________________________ slope of the solid-liquid
line in the phase diagram for water indicates that the solid floats on its liquid.

Unit 10- Solutions and Solubility
SOLUTIONS
A solution is made up of a solute and a _______________________________. The solvent does
the ________________________________. The solute is the substance that is dissolved. If a
solution is made of two liquids, the one in ______________________ quantity is the solute.
_________________________ is the universal solvent. Water is a versatile solvent because of
its attraction to other molecules and its ___________________________. Most of the water on
the Earth is not pure, but rather is present in solutions. Table salt (NaCl), like a great many ionic
compounds, is _________________________ in water. The salt solution is also an excellent
___________________________ of electricity. This high level of electrical conductivity is
always observed when ionic compounds dissolve to a significant extent in water. The process by
which the charged particles in an ionic solid separate from one another is called
_____________________________. You can represent the process of dissolving and
dissociation in shorthand fashion by the following equation.
________________________________________ Water is not only good at dissolving ionic
substances. It also is a good solvent for many _________________________________
compounds. Consider the covalent substance sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, as an
example. Although water dissolves an enormous variety of substances, both ionic and covalent,
it does not dissolve everything. The phrase that scientists often use when predicting solubility is
“________________ dissolves like.” The expression means that dissolving occurs when
similarities exist between the solvent and the solute. A salt dissolves faster if it is
_________________________ or shaken, if the particles are made
___________________________ and if the temperature is ___________________________. In
order to dissolve the solvent molecules must come in ______________________________ with
the solute. Stirring moves fresh _____________________________ next to the solute. The
solvent touches the surface of the solute. __________________________________ pieces
increase the amount of surface of the solute. For solids in liquids, as the temperature goes up the
solubility goes ______________________. A higher temperature makes the molecules of the
solvent move around ______________________________ and contact the solute harder and
________________________ often. It speeds up dissolving. Higher temperature usually
increases the _______________________________ that will dissolve.

For gases in a liquid, as the temperature goes up the solubility goes _______________________.
For gases in a liquid, as the pressure goes up the solubility goes ______________________.
Solubility is the ________________________________ amount of substance that will dissolve
at that temperature (usually measured in grams/liter). If the amount of solute dissolved is less
than the maximum that could be dissolved, the solution is called a(n)
___________________________ solution. A solution which holds the maximum amount of
solute per amount of the solution under the given conditions is called a(n)
_____________________________ solution. A(n) _________________________________
solution contains more solute than the usual maximum amount and are unstable. They cannot
permanently hold the excess solute in solution and may release it suddenly. A(n)
__________________ crystal will make the extra come out. Generally, a supersaturated solution
143
Unit 10- Solutions and Solubility

Measuring Solutions
Chemists never apply the terms strong and weak to solution concentrations. Instead, use the
terms concentrated and _________________________. Concentration is a measure of the
amount of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent. A concentrated solution has a
_________________________ amount of solute. A dilute solution has a
__________________________ amount of solute. For chemistry applications, the concentration
term molarity is generally the most useful. Molarity is the number of moles of
_______________________ in 1 Liter of the solution.

Properties of Acids and Bases
Acids taste _________________. Lemon juice and _____________________________, for
example, are both aqueous solutions of acids. Acids conduct electricity; they are
________________________. Some are strong electrolytes, while others are
_________________ electrolytes. An acetic acid solution, which is a weak electrolyte, contains
only a few ions and does not conduct as much current as a strong electrolyte. The bulb is only
_____________________ lit. Acids cause certain colored dyes
(_________________________) to change color. (Litmus paper turns _______________.)
Acids react with metals to form ______________________________ gas. This property
explains why acids corrode most metals. Acids react with hydroxides (bases) to form water and
a ___________________. Bases taste _________________________ and feel
_______________________________. Bases can be strong or weak electrolytes.
Naming Acids
Acids are compounds that give off _________________________ ions (H+) when dissolved in
water. Acids will always contain one or more hydrogen ions next to an
__________________________. The anion determines the name of the acid.
Naming Binary Acids
Binary acids contain hydrogen and an anion whose name ends in –ide. When naming the acid,
put the prefix ______________________- and change -ide to -ic acid.
Example: HCl
The acid contains the hydrogen ion and chloride ion. Begin with the prefix
hydro-, name the nonmetallic ion and change -ide to -ic acid.
Example: H2S
The acid contains the hydrogen ion and sulfide ion. Begin with the prefix
hydro- and name the nonmetallic ion. The next step is change -ide to -ic acid, but for sulfur the
“ur” is added before -ic.
 Name the following binary acids.
a) HF ___________________________________________
b) H3P __________________________________________
Writing the Formulas for Binary Acids
The prefix hydro- lets you know the acid is binary. Determine whether you need to criss-cross
the oxidation numbers of hydrogen and the nonmetal.
154
Unit 11- Acids and Bases
Example: Hydrobromic acid
The acid contains the hydrogen ion and the bromide ion. The
two oxidation numbers add together to get zero. The prefix hydro- lets you know the acid is
binary.
Example: Hydrotelluric acid
The acid contains the hydrogen ion and the telluride ion. The
two oxidation numbers do NOT add together to get zero, so you must criss-cross.
 Write the formulas for the following binary acids.
a) Hydrocyanic acid _______________
b) Hydroselenic acid _______________
Naming Ternary Acids
The acid is a ternary acid if the anion has oxygen in it. The anion ends in -ate or -ite. Change
the suffix -ate to -_______ acid. Change the suffix -ite to -ous acid The hydro- prefix is NOT
used!
Example: HNO3
The acid contains the hydrogen ion and nitrate ion. Name the polyatomic
ion and change -ate to -ic acid.
Example: HNO2 The acid contains the hydrogen ion and nitrite ion. Name the polyatomic
ion and change -ite to -ous acid.
Example: H3PO4
The acid contains the hydrogen ion and phosphate ion. Name the
polyatomic ion and change -ate to -ic acid.
 Name the following ternary acids.
a) H2CO3 ___________________________________________________
b) H2SO4 ___________________________________________________
c) H2CrO4 ___________________________________________________
d) HClO2 ___________________________________________________
Writing the Formulas for Ternary Acids
The lack of the prefix hydro- from the name implies the acid is ternary, made of the hydrogen
ion and a polyatomic ion. Determine whether you need to criss-cross the oxidation numbers of
hydrogen and the polyatomic ion.
Example: Acetic acid The polyatomic ion must end in –ate since the acid ends in -ic. The
acid is made of H+ and the acetate ion. The two charges when added equal zero.
Example: Sulfurous acid Again the lack of the prefix hydro- implies the acid is ternary, made
of the hydrogen ion and a polyatomic ion. The polyatomic ion must end in –ite since the acid
ends in -ous. The acid is made of H+ and the sulfite ion. The two charges when added do not
equal zero, so you must crisscross the oxidation numbers.
 Write the formulas for the following ternary acids.
a) perchloric acid ______________________ b) iodic acid _____________________
c) nitrous acid _______________________
155
d) bromic acid ___________________

Types of Acids and Bases
Arrhenius Definitions - The simplest definition is that an acid is a substance that produces
_____________________________ ions when it dissolves in water. A hydronium ion, H3O+,
consists of a hydrogen ion attached to a __________________ molecule. A hydronium ion,
H3O+, is equivalent to H+. HCl and H3PO4 are acids according to Arrhenius. A base is a
substance that produces ________________________ ions, OH–, when it dissolves in water.
Ca(OH)2 and NaOH are Arrhenius bases. NH3, ammonia, could not be an Arrhenius
___________________.
Monoprotic acids have only ____________ ionizable hydrogen. Some acids have more than one
ionizable hydrogen and are called ______________________________ acids.
Bronsted-Lowry Definitions - An Bronsted-Lowry acid is a ________________________ (H+)
donor. HBr and H2SO4 are Bronsted-Lowry acids. When a Bronsted-Lowry acid dissolves in
water it gives its proton to water. HCl (g) + H2O (l) ↔ H3O+ + Cl- A Bronsted-Lowry base
is a proton acceptor.
B + H2O ↔ BH+ + OH- A Brønsted-Lowry base does
not need to contain OH-.
Consider
HCl(aq) + H2O(l)  H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
HCl donates a proton to water.
Therefore, HCl is an _______________. H2O accepts a proton from HCl. Therefore, H2O is a
______________.

Identify the acid and base in the following reactions.
a) H2SO3 + H2O ↔ HSO3- + H3O+
Acid _____________________________
base _________________________
b) NH3 + H2SO4 ↔ NH4+ + HSO4Acid _____________________________
base _________________________
Molarity and Dilution
The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute present in a given quantity of solution.
_________________________ is the number of moles of solute in 1 liter of solution.

Strength of Acids and Bases
The strength of a base is based on the percent of units
___________________________________, not the number of OH– ions produced. The strength
of a base does NOT depend on the _____________________________. 1A and _______
hydroxides, excluding __________, are strong bases. Some bases, such as Mg(OH)2, are not
very soluble in water, and they don’t produce a large number of OH– ions. However, they are
still considered to be strong bases because all of the base that does dissolve completely
dissociates. The strength of an acid is based on the percent of units dissociated, not the number
of ____________ ions produced. The strength of an acid does NOT depend on the
_______________________________. There are 6 strong acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HClO4, HNO3,
and H2SO4. Strong acids and bases are strong __________________________________
because they dissociate completely. Electrolytes conduct ______________________________.
157
Unit 11- Acids and Bases
Weak acids and bases don’t completely ionize, so they are weak electrolytes. Although the
terms weak and strong are used to compare the _____________________________ of acids and
bases, dilute and concentrated are terms used to describe the _____________________________
of solutions.
pH Scale
Water ionizes; it falls apart into _________________. H2O  H+ + OH- The preceding reaction
is called the _____________________________________ of water. [H+ ] = [OH-] = 1 x 10-7 M
When [H+ ] = [OH-], the solution is _________________________. At 25°C,
Kw = [H+] [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 Kw is called the ion-product constant. If [H+] > 10-7 then [OH-] <
10-7. The solution is ______________________ when [H+] > [OH-]. If [H+] < 10-7 then [OH-]
> 10-7. The solution is __________________________ when [OH-] > [H+]. In most
applications, the observed range of possible hydronium or hydroxide ion concentrations spans
10–14 M to ______M. To make this range of possible concentrations easier to work with, the pH
scale was developed. pH is a mathematical scale in which the concentration of hydronium ions
in a solution is expressed as a number from _________ to __________. pH meters are
instruments that measure the exact pH of a solution. Indicators register different colors at
different pH’s. In neutral solution, pH = 7. In an acidic solution, pH < 7. In a basic solution,
pH > 7. As the pH drops from 7, the solution becomes more acidic. As pH increases from 7, the
solution becomes more basic.
The pH of a solution equals the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.
pH = - log [H+]
Chemists have also defined a pOH scale to express the basicity of a solution.
pOH = - log [OH-]
If either pH or pOH is known, the other may be determined by using the following relationship.
pH + pOH = 14.00


d) The hydroxide ion concentration equals: 10–8 M. pH = _________________
e) The hydroxide ion concentration equals: 10–5 M. pH = _________________
f) The hydroxide ion concentration equals: 10–3 M. pH = _________________

REACTION KINETICS
Energy Diagrams
Reactants always start a reaction so they are on the _________________ side of the diagram.
Products are on the right. The exothermic reaction gives off ___________________ because the
products are at a lower energy level than the reactants. In an exothermic graph, the reactants
have _____________________ energy than the products. The change in energy is a
_________________________ value.
The endothermic reaction absorbs heat because the products are at a
_________________________ energy level than the reactants. In an endothermic graph, the
products have _____________________ energy than the reactants. The change in energy is a
_______________________ value.
Scientists have observed that the energy released in the formation of a compound from its
elements is always identical to the energy required to ______________________ that compound
into its elements.
_____________________________ energy is the minimum amount of energy that reacting
particles must have to form the activated complex. The activated complex is a short-lived,
_________________ arrangement of atoms that may break apart and re-form the reactants or
172
Unit 12- Kinetics and Thermochemistry
may form products. To calculate the activation energy, ______________________ the energy of
the reactants from the energy at the top of the peak. The enthalpy or heat of reaction (ΔH) is the
amount of ___________________ released or absorbed in the reaction. To determine ΔH, take
the energy of the products and _______________________ the energy of the reactants.

173
Unit 12- Kinetics and Thermochemistry
The activation energy can be lowered by adding a __________________________. The catalyst
_________________ the activation energy by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction to
occur.
Expressing Reaction Rates
We generally define the average _____________________ of an action or process to be the
change in a given quantity during a specific period of time. Reaction rates cannot be calculated
from balanced equations as stoichiometric amounts can. Reaction rates are determined
experimentally by measuring the _____________________________ of reactants and/or
products in an actual chemical reaction.
Collision Theory
According to the collision theory, atoms, ions, and molecules must collide with each other in
order to react. The following three statements summarize the collision theory.
1. Particles must ________________________ in order to react.
2. The particles must collide with the correct _______________________________.
3. The particles must collide with enough ________________________ to form an
unstable activated complex, also called a _____________________________ state,
which is an intermediate particle made up of the joined reactants.
The _____________________________ amount of energy that colliding particles must have in
order to form an activated complex is called the activation energy of the reaction. Particles that
collide with energy less than the activation energy ____________________________ form an
activated complex. In an exothermic reaction, molecules collide with enough energy to
overcome the activation energy barrier, form an activated complex, then
__________________________ energy and form products at a lower energy level. In the
reverse endothermic reaction, the reactant molecules lying at a _______________ energy level
must absorb energy to overcome the activation energy barrier and form high-energy products.
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
The reaction rate for almost any chemical reaction can be modified by varying the conditions of
the reaction.
174
Unit 12- Kinetics and Thermochemistry
1) An important factor that affects the rate of a chemical reaction is the reactive nature of
the reactants. As you know, some substances react more readily than others. The more
reactive a substance is, the _____________________________ the reaction rate.
2) Another important factor that affects the rate of a chemical reaction is the concentration
of the reactants. Reactions ______________________ _________________ when the
concentrations of reacting particles are increased. Increasing the number of reactants
increases probability of collisions. The rate of gaseous reactions can be ___________ by
pumping more gas into the reaction container.
3) Surface area of the reactants affects the rate of a chemical reaction.
______________________ the surface area of reactants provides more opportunity for
collisions with other reactants, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
4) Temperature affects the rate of a chemical reaction. Generally, increasing the
temperature at which a reaction occurs _________________________ the reaction rate.
Raising the temperature raises both the collision frequency and the collision energy.
5) Adding a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that
increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed in the reaction. In

REACTION ENERGY
Energy is the ability to do___________________ or produce heat. It exists in two basic forms,
potential energy and ______________________ energy. Potential energy is energy due to the
______________________ or position of an object. Kinetic energy is energy of
________________. The potential energy of the dammed water is converted to kinetic energy as
the dam gates are opened and the water flows out. Chemical systems contain
_________________ kinetic energy and potential energy. As temperature increases, the motion
175
Unit 12- Kinetics and Thermochemistry
of submicroscopic particles ______________________, so its kinetic energy
__________________________. The potential energy of a substance depends upon its
composition: the type of atoms in the substance, the number and type of chemical bonds joining
the atoms, and the particular way the atoms are arranged.
Law of Conservation of Energy and Heat
The law of conservation of energy states that in any chemical reaction or physical process,
energy can be converted from one form to another, but it is neither created nor
________________________.
Heat, which is represented by the symbol ____, is energy that is in the process of flowing from a
_____________________ object to a cooler object. The SI unit of heat and energy is the joule
(J). Heat involves a transfer of energy between 2 objects due to a ________________________
difference. When the warmer object loses heat, its temperature decreases and q is
_________________________. When the cooler object absorbs heat, its temperature
________________ and q is positive.
The specific heat of any substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of ____
gram of that substance by one degree Celsius. Because different substances have different
compositions, each substance has its own specific heat.
q = m Cp ∆T
q = heat (J); m = mass (g); Cp = specific heat (J/(g.°C); ∆T = change in temperature = Tf – Ti
(°C)
Exothermic: Heat flows _________ of the system (to the surroundings). The value of ‘q’ is
negative. Endothermic: Heat flows _________ the system (from the surroundings). The value
of ‘q’ is positive.

OXIDATION-REDUCTION
One of the defining characteristics of single-replacement and combustion reactions is that they
always involve the transfer of ____________________________________ from one atom to
another. So do many, but not all, synthesis and decomposition reactions. The
________________________________ number of an atom in an ionic compound is the number
of electrons lost or gained by the atom when it forms ions. Oxidation numbers are tools that
scientists use in written chemical equations to help them keep track of the movement of electrons
in a ________________________ reaction. Like some of the other tools you have learned about
in chemistry, oxidation numbers have a specific notation. Oxidation numbers are written with
the positive or negative sign __________________________ the number (+3, +2), whereas ionic
charge is written with the sign after the number (3+, 2+). Oxidation number: +3. Ionic charge:
3+. In order to understand all kinds of redox reactions, you must have a way to determine the
oxidation number of the atoms involved in the reaction. Chemists use a set of rules to make this
determination easier.
1. The oxidation number of an uncombined atom is _______________________. This is
true for elements that exist as polyatomic molecules such as O2, Cl2, H2, N2, S8.
2. The oxidation number of a _____________________ ion is equal to the charge on the
ion. For example, the oxidation number of a Ca2+ ion is +2, and the oxidation number of
a Br– ion is –1.
3. The oxidation number of the _______________________ electronegative atom in a
molecule or a complex ion is the same as the charge it would have if it were an ion.
•
In ammonia (NH3), for example, nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen,
meaning that it attracts electrons more strongly than does hydrogen. So nitrogen
is assigned an oxidation number of –3, as if it had gained three electrons to
complete an octet. In the compound silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), chlorine is more
electronegative than silicon, so each chlorine has an oxidation number of –1 as if
it had taken an electron from silicon. The silicon atom is given an oxidation
number of +4 as if it had lost electrons to the four chlorine atoms.

Unit 13- Oxidation and Reduction
4. The most electronegative element, _________________________________, always has
an oxidation number of –1 when it is bonded to another element.
5. The oxidation number of oxygen in compounds is always ___________, except in
peroxides, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), where it is –1. When it is bonded to
fluorine, the only element more electronegative than oxygen, the oxidation number of
oxygen is +2.
6. The oxidation number of hydrogen in most of its compounds is _____________. The
exception to this rule occurs when hydrogen is bonded to less electronegative metals to
form _______________________ such as LiH, NaH, CaH2, and AlH3. In these
compounds, hydrogen’s oxidation number is –1 because it attracts electrons more
strongly than does the metal atom.
7. The metals of groups 1A and 2A and aluminum in group 3A form compounds in which
the metal atom always has a ___________________________ oxidation number equal to
the number of its valence electrons (+1, +2, and +3, respectively).
8. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is ______________________.
9. The sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms in a
________________________________ ion is equal to the charge on the ion.
Determining Oxidation Numbers
Determine the oxidation number of each element in the following compounds or ions. Assign
the known oxidation numbers to their elements, set the sum of all oxidation numbers to zero or to
the ion charge, and solve for the unknown oxidation number. (Let nelement = oxidation number of
the element in question.)
•
KClO3 (potassium chlorate) Potassium chlorate is a _________________________ salt,
so oxidation numbers must add up to zero. K’s oxid. # + Cl’s oxid. # + 3 (O’s oxid. #)
= 0 Rule _________ states that Group 1 metals have a +1 oxidation number in
compounds. According to rule ___________, the oxidation number of oxygen in
compounds is –2.
(+1) + (nCl) + 3 (-2) = 0. Chlorine’s oxidation number
must equal _______.
•
SO32– (sulfite ion) Sulfite ion has a charge of 2–, so oxidation numbers must add up to
______. S’s oxid. # + 3 (O’s oxid. #) = –2. According to rule 5, the oxidation number
192
Unit 13- Oxidation and Reduction
of oxygen in compounds is –2. (nsulfur) + 3 (-2) = –2. Sulfur’s oxidation number must
equal _______.
•
Determine the oxidation number of each element in the following compound or ion.
a) Na2CO3 ___________________________________________
b) H2SO4 ___________________________________________
c) Mg3P2 ___________________________________________
d) SrH2 ___________________________________________
e) PO4-3 ___________________________________________
f) ClO4-1 ___________________________________________
g) C4H10 ___________________________________________
Electron Transfer and Redox Reactions
Complete Chemical Equation: 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g)  2 NaCl (s)
Net Ionic Equation: 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g)  2 Na+ + 2 Cl•
Solid sodium, on the reactant side, has an oxidation number of _______. The sodium ion
product has an oxidation number of _______.
Oxidation is defined as the ____________________ of electrons from atoms of a substance.
When an element’s oxidation number ________________________, the element is said to be
oxidized.
•
Sodium’s oxidation number changes from 0 to +1. Sodium is oxidized because it loses
______ electron. To state this reaction more clearly, Na → Na+ + e-. For oxidation to
take place, the electrons lost by the substance that is oxidized must be accepted by atoms
or ions of another substance. In other words, there must be an accompanying process that
involves the ________________ of electrons.
_____________________________ is defined as the gain of electrons by atoms of a substance.
Net Ionic Equation: 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g)  2 Na+ + 2 Cl•
Chlorine gas, on the reactant side, has an oxidation number of _______. The chlorine ion
product has an oxidation number of _______. Chlorine’s oxidation number changes from
0 to -1. Chlorine is reduced because it _________________ one electron. Following
our sodium chloride example further, the reduction reaction that accompanies the
oxidation of sodium is the reduction of chlorine. Cl2 + 2 e- → 2 Cl-. In this reaction,
193
Unit 13- Oxidation and Reduction
an electron from each of two sodium atoms is transferred to the Cl2 molecule to form two
Cl– ions.
Complete Chemical Equation: 2 Mg (s) + O2 (g)  2 MgO (s)
Net Ionic Equation: 2 Mg (s) + O2 (g)  2 Mg2+ + 2 O2•
Solid magnesium, on the reactant side, has an oxidation number of ____. The
magnesium ion product has an oxidation number of ____. Magnesium’s oxidation
number changes from 0 to +2. Magnesium is oxidized because it loses _________
electrons. To state this reaction more clearly,
_______________________________________________. Oxygen gas, on the reactant
side, has an oxidation number of _______. The oxygen ion product has an oxidation
number of _______. Oxygen’s oxidation number changes from 0 to -2. Oxygen is
reduced because it gains _________ electrons. Following our magnesium oxide example
further, the reduction reaction that accompanies the oxidation of magnesium is the
reduction of oxygen.
______________________________________________________ When magnesium
reacts with oxygen, each magnesium atom transfers two electrons to each oxygen atom.
The two magnesium atoms become Mg2+ ions and the two oxygen atoms become O2–
ions (oxide ions).
A reaction in which electrons are ______________________________ from one atom to another
is called an oxidation–reduction reaction. For simplicity, chemists often refer to oxidation–
reduction reactions as ____________________ reactions.
Now consider the single-replacement reaction in which chlorine in an aqueous solution replaces
bromine from an aqueous solution of potassium bromide.
Complete Chemical Equation: 2 KBr (aq) + Cl2 (aq)  2 KCl (aq) + Br2 (aq)
Net Ionic Equation: 2 Br- (aq) + Cl2 (aq)  2 Cl- (aq) + Br2 (aq)
•
Note that chlorine “steals” electrons from bromide ions to become
_______________________ ions. When the bromide ions lose their extra electrons, the
two bromine atoms form a covalent bond with each other to produce Br2 molecules. The
194
Unit 13- Oxidation and Reduction
result of this reaction, the characteristic color of elemental bromine in solution. The
formation of the covalent bond by ________________________ of electrons also is an
oxidation–reduction reaction.
•
Note that there is no change in the oxidation number of potassium. The potassium ion
takes no part in the reaction and as a result DOES NOT appear in the net ionic equation.
It is called a _________________________________ ion.
Can oxidation occur without reduction? By our definitions, oxidation and reduction are
complementary processes; oxidation cannot occur unless reduction also occurs.
•

reaction. (Provide the oxidation numbers.)
a) 3Cu + 2NO3- + 8H+  3Cu2+ + 2NO + H2O
b) 2KNO3  2KNO2 + O2
c) H2 + CuO  Cu + H2O
d) H2S + NO3-  SO42- + NO2
How DO Oxidation and Reduction Differ?
LEO the lion says GER or, for short, LEO GER
This phrase will help you remember that Loss of Electrons is Oxidation, and Gain of Electrons
is Reduction.
•

Redox and Electronegativity
The chemistry of oxidation–reduction reactions is not limited to atoms of an element changing to
ions or the reverse.
Example: N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2NH3 (g)
•
Nitrogen’s oxidation number changes from _______ to _______; therefore nitrogen is
____________________________. For the purpose of studying oxidation–reduction
reactions, the more electronegative atom (nitrogen) is treated as if it had been reduced by
gaining electrons from the other atom. Hydrogen’s oxidation number changes from
_______ to _______; therefore hydrogen is _______________________. The less
electronegative atom (hydrogen) is treated as if it had been oxidized by losing electrons.
Half-Reactions
The oxidation process and the reduction process of a redox reaction can each be expressed as a
half-reaction.
•
For example, consider the unbalanced equation for the formation of aluminum bromide.
Al + Br2 → AlBr3
•
The oxidation half-reaction shows the loss of electrons by aluminum. Al → Al3+ + 3eThe reduction half-reaction shows the gain of electrons by bromine. Br2 + 2e- →2Br-

Write balanced half-reactions for each of the following molecular equations.
a) K + S → K2S
b) Ca + Cl2 → CaCl2
c) AlBr3 → Al + Br2
d) Zn3P2 → Zn + P
Practical Applications of Redox
A common application of redox chemistry is to remove ____________________________ from
metal objects, such as a silver cup. When you add chlorine ________________________ to
your laundry to whiten clothes, you are using an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite
(NaClO). Chlorine is ________________________ in the process. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
196
Unit 13- Oxidation and Reduction
can be used as an antiseptic because it _____________________________ some of the vital
biomolecules of germs, or to lighten hair because it oxidizes the dark pigment of the hair. When
you put a battery into a flashlight, radio, or CD player, you complete the electrical circuit of a
galvanic cell(s), providing a path for the electrons to flow through as they move from the site of
____________________________ to the site of the reduction. Electroplating is important in
protecting objects from ______________________________ and uses the process of redox.
Reduction of silver ions onto cheaper metals forms _______________________________.
