Properties
Composition
Dictionary definitions of chemistry usually include the terms matter,
composition, and properties, as in the statement that “chemistry is the science
that deals with the composition and properties of various forms of matter”.
Matter is anything that occupies the space and displays a property
known as mass. Every human being is an object of matter. We all occupy
space, and we describe our mass though a related property, our weight. All
the objects that we see around us are objects of matter. The gases of the
atmosphere, even though they are invisible, are example of matter; they
occupy space and possess mass.
Composition refers to the parts of components of a sample of matter
and their relative proportions. Ordinary water is comprised of two simpler
substances – hydrogen and oxygen – present in certain fixed proportions.
Properties are those qualities or attributes that can be used to
distinguish one sample of matter form others.
Matter is classified into two broad categories, namely, pure substances
and mixtures. A pure substance can be either an element or a compound. The
composition and properties of an element or compound are uniform
4
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
throughout a given sample and from one sample to another. A chemical
element is a substance comprised of a single type of atom. The elements are
the building blocks of our nature. An element is either discovered in nature or
synthesized in the laboratory in pure form that cannot be separated into
simpler substances by chemical methods. Currently, there are about 118
elements discovered; some are found to be unique; no two elements are alike.
Elements are made up of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are the smallest
particles of an element that have the chemical properties of that element. Each
element contains only one type of atoms. The atoms of one element are not the
same as the atoms of another element. Most of the elements exist as
monoatomic forms, which means that the smallest individual complete parts of
these samples of pure elements are single atoms. Seven of the known elements
are called diatomic elements, because they are found in nature in their
elemental form as two-atom molecules. The seven diatomic elements are
chlorine (Cl2), fluorine (F2), bromine (Br2), iodine (I2), hydrogen (H2), oxygen
(O2), and nitrogen (N2).
A compound is the substance formed by the chemical union of two or
more element. The number of compounds now known is in the millions. In
some cases we can isolate a molecule of a compound. A molecule is the
smallest entity having the same proportions of the constituent atoms as does
the compound as a whole. A molecule of water consists of three atoms – two
hydrogen atoms joined to a single oxygen atom. Components of the
compounds are in a definite ratio, which is fixed by the nature. We cannot
change this ratio, no matter who does it. For example, water is made up of one
part oxygen and two parts hydrogen. This ratio is fixed by the nature and we
cannot alter this. Compounds are formed by chemical reactions, where the
individual elements lose their individual properties and take on the new
properties of the compound that is formed. Compounds can be separated into
elements using chemical methods but not the physical methods.
A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances where
the substances retain their original identity. Some examples are air, milk,
various fruit drinks. The most important aspect of the mixture is that it has no
definite or constant composition, Mixtures can be separated into pure
5
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
substances by physical methods. Mixture is further classified as either
homogeneous or heterogeneous based upon its uniformity.
A homogeneous mixture is a solution that has a uniform consistency
throughout, for example, a salt solution after dissolving and mixing it
thoroughly. Not only that but also the individual components cannot be
identified. A heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition like
homogeneous mixture where the individual components can be identified, for
example, a mixture of sand and salt.
The scheme that classified matter into elements, compounds and
mixtures is summarized in figure 1.

The states of matter
Matter can exist in three different states, solid, liquid, and gas, based on
the way the atoms and molecules are arranged inside them. These three states
are known as three different states of matter.
10
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
In solids, atoms or molecules are tightly bound to one another thereby
creating a rigid nature. Each atom or molecule is caged by its neighbors
creating non-mobility, although they might vibrate around the equilibrium
position. Here attractive forces are very strong. Consequently, solids have
definite shapes and volumes. Some examples of solids are diamond, metals,
and ice.
In liquids, the atoms or molecules are not as tightly bound as in solids
and due to that they have some freedom to move around. They still experience
attractive forces but not as strong as solids. In addition, they also begin to
experience some repulsive forces. Thus, liquids have definite volume but not
definite shape- they assume the shape of the container. Due to their flexibility,
the liquids can be poured from one container to another. Some common
examples are water, gasoline, and alcohol at room temperature.
In gases, the atoms or molecules are far apart due to they are not
bounded at all, meaning, they do not have any attractive forces but only
repulsive forces. Due to that they can occupy a large volume. They do not
have their own shape or volume, but assume the shape and the volume of the
container. Some common examples are oxygen, hydrogen, and helium at room
temperature.

Periodic table
The idea of arranging the elements into a periodic table had been
considered by many chemists, but either data to support the idea were
insufficient or the classification schemes were incomplete. Mendeleev and
Meyer organized the elements in order of atomic weight and then identified
groups of elements with similar properties. By arranging these groups in rows
and columns, and by considering similarities in chemical behavior as well as
atomic weight, Mendeleev found vacancies in the table and was able to predict
the properties of several elements—gallium, scandium, germanium, and
polonium—that had not yet been discovered. When his predictions proved
accurate, the concept of a periodic table was quickly accepted. The discovery
of additional elements not known in Mendeleev’s time and the synthesis of
heavy elements have led to the modern periodic table, shown inside the front
cover of this text. In the modern periodic table, a horizontal row of elements is
called a period and a vertical column is a group. The traditional designations
12
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
of groups in the United States differ from those used in Europe. The
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has
recommended that the groups be numbered 1 through 18. In this text, we will
use primarily the IUPAC group numbers. Some sections of the periodic table
have traditional names, as shown in Figure 1.
Starting from hydrogen, over 100 elements are constituted as electrons
are successively accommodated into 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, and 3d orbitals one
by one from lower to higher energy levels. When elements with similar
properties are arranged in columns, the periodic table of the elements is
constructed. The modern periodic table of the elements is based on one
published by D. I. Mendeleev in 1892, and a variety of tables have since been
devised. The long periodic table recommended by IUPAC is the current
standard, and it has the group numbers arranged from Group 1 alkali metals
through group 18 rare gas elements. Based on the composition of electron
orbitals, hydrogen, helium and Group 1 elements are classified as s-block
elements, Group 13 through Group 18 elements p-block elements, Group 3
through Group 12 elements d-block elements, and lanthanoid and actinoid
elements f-block elements. (Fig. 1). s-Block, p-block, and Group 12 elements
are called main group elements and d-block elements other than Group 12
and f-block elements are called transition elements. Incidentally, periodic
tables that denote the groups of s-block and p-block elements with Roman
numerals (I, II, ..., VIII) are still used, but they will be unified into the IUPAC
system in the near future. Since inorganic chemistry covers the chemistry of
all the elements, it is important to understand the features of each element
though reference to the periodic table.

II. Grammar
THE ADJECTIVE CLAUSE
An adjective clause is a subordinate clause used to modify a noun or a
pronoun in the main clause. It may be introduced by the pronouns who,
whose, whom, which, or that (and sometimes when or where). These
pronouns are called relative pronouns because they relate to a noun or a
pronoun in the sentence. Occasionally, no relative pronoun is used, but it is
implied or understood.
Identifying Adjective Clauses
Note: Nouns are bolded, the adjective clauses are underlined.

an acid is defined as a molecule or an ion which gives H+ and a molecule
or ion that receives H+ from a partner is a base.
55. A base is not only a molecule or an ion which gives OH - but anything
which receives H+.
56. The acid HA gives H+ to water in an aqueous solution and generates an

Electronic structure of elements
Wave functions of electrons in an atom are called atomic orbitals. An
atomic orbital is expressed using three quantum numbers; the principal
quantum number, n; the azimuthal quantum number, l; and the magnetic
quantum number, ml. For a principal quantum number n, there are n
azimuthal quantum numbers l ranging from 0 to n-1, and each corresponds to
the following orbitals.

An atomic orbital is expressed by the combination of n and l. For
example, n is 3 and l is 2 for a 3d orbital. There are 2l+1 ml values, namely, l,
l-1, l-2, …, -l. Consequently, there are one s orbital, three p orbitals, five d
orbitals and seven f orbitals. The three aforementioned quantum numbers are
used to express the distribution of the electrons in a hydrogen-type atom, and
another quantum number ms (1/2, -1/2) which describes the direction of an
electron spin is necessary to completely describe an electronic state.
Therefore, an electronic state is defined by four quantum numbers (n, l, ml,
ms). The wave function ψ which determines the orbital shape can be expressed
as the product of a radial wave function R and an angular wave function Y as
follows. ψn,l,ml = Rn,l(r)Yl,ml(θ,φ) n. The following conditions must be
satisfied when each orbital is filled with electrons. Electron filling is based on
Pauli principle and Hund’s rule.
Pauli principle: The number of electrons that are followed to occupy an
orbital must be limited to one or two, and, for the latter case, their spins must
be anti-parallel (different direction).
Hund’s rule: orbitals, electrons occupy separate orbitals nd their spins are
parallel (same direction). The order of orbital energy of a neutral atom is 1s <
2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p … and the electron configuration is
determined as electrons occupy orbitals in this order according to the Pauli
principle and Hund’s rule. An s orbital with one ml can accommodate 2
electrons, a p orbital with three ml 6 electrons, and a d orbital with five ml 10
electrons. For instant, describe the electron configuration of a C atom, an Fe
atom, and a Au atom as below.

I: Reading comprehension
Alkali metal salts, in particular sodium chloride, have been known
since antiquity.However, due to the difficulty of reducing alkali metal ions,
the elements were not isolated untilcomparatively recently. Potassium and
sodium were first isolated in 1807 by Davy as products of the electrolysis of
23
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
molten KOH and NaOH. In 1818, Davy also isolated lithium by electrolysis of
molten Li2O. Cesium and rubidium were discovered with the help of the
spectroscope in 1860 and 1861, respectively. Francium was not identified until
1939 as a short-lived radioactive isotope from the nuclear decay of actinium.
The alkali metals are silvery, except for cesium, which has a golden
appearance. They are highly reactive solids with very low melting points. As
other metals, the alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors
of heat and electricity.
The chemical properties of the alkali metals are
governed by the ease with which they can lose one electron and achieve a
noble gas configuration.
All alkali metals are excellent reducing agents.The metals react
vigorously with water to form hydrogen; for example,
2 Na + 2H2O  NaOH + H2.
This reaction is highly exothermic, and the hydrogen formed may ignite
in air, sometimes explosively. Alkali metals react with oxygen to form oxides,
peroxides, and superoxides, depending on the metal. Combustion in air of Na
yields both Na2O and Na2O2, however, combustion of K only forms KO2.
Alkali metals dissolve in liquid ammonia and other donor solvents, such as
aliphatic amines (NR3, in which R = alkyl) and OP(NMe2)3,
hexamethylphosphoramide, to give blue solutions believed to contain solvated
electrons:
Na + x NH3  Na+ + e(NH3)x
The blue color is attributed to the solvated electron (alkali metal ions
are colorless). Also due to these solvated electrons, these solutions are
paramagnetic and conduct electricity better than dissociated ionic compounds
in aqueous solutions. Alkali metal cations can form complexes with a variety
of Lewis bases. Of particular interest are cyclic Lewis bases that have several
donor atoms that can complex, or trap, cations. These include a large group of
cyclic ethers and a family of cryptands (or cryptates)

Sodium
Why is everyone so concerned about sodium these days? It’s an essential
nutrient that the body uses to control blood pressure and blood volume. It is
also needed for our muscles and nerves to work properly.
Sodium occurs naturally in most foods. The most common form of sodium is
sodium chloride, which is table salt. Milk, beets, and celery also naturally
contain sodium, as does drinking water, although the amount varies depending
on the source.
Sodium is also added to various food products. Some of these added forms are
monosodium glutamate, sodium nitrite, sodium saccharin, baking soda
(sodium bicarbonate), and sodium benzoate. These found in items such as soy
sauce, onion salt, garlic salt, and bouillon cubes.
Processed meats, such as bacon, sausage, and ham, and canned soups and
vegetables are all examples of foods that contain added sodium. Fast foods are
generally very high in sodium.
Taking too much sodium in the diet may lead to high blood pressure in
some people or a serious build-up of fluid in people with congestive heart
failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease. Therefore, healthy adults should limit
sodium intake to 2,300 mg per day. Adults with high blood pressure should
have no more than 1,500 mg per day. Those with congestive heart failureand
kidney disease may need much lower amounts.

BÀI 5: ANKANES
I. Reading Comprehension
General notes about alkanes
Alkanes are composed of only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms and
contain only single bonds. Alkanes in which the carbons form a continuous
chain with no branches are called straight-chain alkanes. The names of several
straight-chain alkanes are given in the table below.
Alkanes are widespread both on Earth and on other planets. The
atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune contain large quantities
of methane the smallest alkane, which is an odorless and flammable gas. In
fact, the blue colors of Uranus and Neptune are due to methane in their
atmospheres. Alkanes on Earth are found in natural gas and petroleum, which
are formed by the decomposition of plant
and animal materials that have been buried for long periods in the Earth’s
crust, an environment with little oxygen. Natural gas and petroleum, therefore,
are known as
32
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
fossil fuels. Natural gas consists of about 75% methane. The remaining 25% is
composed of small alkanes such as ethane, propane, and butane. Petroleum is
a complex mixture of alkanes and cycloalkanes that can be separated into
fractions by distillation.
The family of alkanes shown in the table is an example of a
homologous series. A homologous series (homosis Greek for “the same as”) is
a family of compounds in which each member differs from the next by one
methylene group. The members of a homologous series are called homologs.
Propane and butane are homologs. If you look at the relative numbers of
carbon and hydrogen atoms in the alkanes listed in the table above, you will
see that the general molecular formula for an alkane is CnH2n+2, where n is any
integer. We have seen that carbon forms four covalent bonds and hydrogen
forms only one covalent bond. This means that there is only one possible
structure for an alkane with molecular formula CH4 (methane) and only one
structure for an alkane with molecular formula C2H6 (ethane). There is also
only one possible structure for an alkane with molecular formula C3H8
(propane).
As the number of carbons in an alkane increases beyond three, the
number of possible structures increases. There are two possible structures for
an alkane with molecular formula C4H10. In addition to butane—a straightchain alkane—there is a branched butane called isobutane. Compounds such
as butane and isobutane that have the same molecular formula but differ in the
33
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
order in which the atoms are connected are called constitutional isomers—
their molecules have different constitutions.
There are five constitutional isomers with molecular formula C6H12.
We are now able to name three of them (hexane, isohexane, and neohexane),
but we cannot name the other two without defining names for new structural
units (for more detail, see Further Reading part).
Chemical properties of alkanes
Alkanes have only strong σ bonds. Because the carbon and hydrogen
atoms of an alkane have approximately the same electronegativity, the
electrons in the C-C and C-H bonds are shared equally by the bonding atoms.
Consequently, none of the atoms in an alkane have any significant charge.
This means that neither nucleophiles nor electrophiles are attracted to them.
Because they have only strong bonds and atoms with no partial charges,
alkanes are very unreactive compounds. Their failure to undergo reactions
prompted early organic chemists to call them paraffins, from the Latin parum
affinis,which means “little affinity”(for other compounds).
Alkanes do react with chlorine or bromine to form alkyl chlorides or
alkyl bromides. These halogenation reactions take place only at high
temperatures or in the presence of light (symbolized by hυ). They are the only
reactions that alkanes undergo—with the exception of combustion, a reaction
with oxygen that takes place at high temperatures and converts alkanes to
carbon dioxide and water.
34
Tài liệu tập huấn giảng viên dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh
The mechanism for the halogenation of an alkane is well understood.
The high temperature (or light) supplies the energy required to break the Cl-Cl
or Br-Br bond homolytically. Homolytic bond cleavage is the initiation step of
the reaction because it creates the radical that is used in the first propagation
step. Recall that an arrowhead with one barb signifies the movement of one
electron.
A radical (often called a free radical) is a species containing an atom
with an unpaired electron. A radical is highly reactive because it wants to
acquire an electron to complete its octet. In the mechanism for the
monochlorination of methane, the chlorine radical formed in the initiation step
abstracts a hydrogen atom from methane, forming HCl and a methyl radical.
The methyl radical abstracts a chlorine atom from forming methyl chloride
and another chlorine radical, which can abstract a hydrogen atom from another
molecule of methane. These two steps are called propagation steps because the
radical created in the first propagation step reacts in the second propagation
step to produce a radical that can repeat the first propagation step. Thus, the
two propagation steps are repeated over and over. The first propagation step is
the rate determining step of the overall reaction. Because the reaction has
radical intermediates and repeating propagation steps, it is called a radical
chain reaction.

III.1. Translate the following text into Vietnamese
The description of the step-by-step process by which reactants (e.g.,
alkene + HBr) are changed into products (e.g., alkyl halide) is called the
mechanism of the reaction. To help you understand a mechanism, curved
arrows are drawn to show how the electrons move as new covalent bonds are
formed and existing covalent bonds are broken. In other words, the curved
arrows show which bonds are formed and which are broken. Because the
curved arrows show how the electrons flow, they are drawn from an electronrich center (at the tail of the arrow) to an electron-deficient center (at the point
of the arrow). An arrowhead with two barbs represents the simultaneous
movement of two electrons (an electron pair). An arrowhead with one barb
represents the movement of one electron. These are called “curved” arrows to
distinguish them from the “straight” arrows used to link reactants with
products in chemical reactions.

Các gốc ankyl được ổn định hóa bởi các nhóm ankyl đẩy electron, vì
vậy, gốc ankyl bậc III bền hơn một gốc ankyl bậc II, và gốc ankyl bậc II bền
hơn gốc ankyl bậc I.

Gốc tự do càng bền vững thì nó càng dễ hình thành, vì độ bền của gốc
ankyl tự do được thể hiện ở độ bền của trạng thái chuyển tiếp dẫn đến sự tạo
thành gốc đó. Kết quả là, việc tách một nguyên tử H dẫn đến sự tạo thành gốc
bậc II dễ dàng hơn sự tách H dẫn đến sự tạo thành một gốc tự do bậc I.
Để xác định được hàm lượng tương đối các sản phẩm tạo thành trong
phản ứng clo hóa ankan, cần tính đến cả hai yếu tố xác xuất (số lượng nguyên
tử H cùng loại có thể bị tách để dẫn đến sự hình thành của một sản phẩm nào
đó) và khả năng phản ứng (tốc độ tương đối khi tách một nguyên tử H). Khi cả
hai yếu tố trên cùng được tính đến thì hàm lượng theo tính toán phù hợp với
lượng thu được từ thực nghiệm.
