The structure of the atom
25/05/2017
The Ancient Greeks used to believe that
everything was made up of very small particles. I
did some experiments in 1808 that proved this
and called these particles ATOMS:
Dalton
NEUTRON –
neutral, same
mass as
proton (“1”)
PROTON –
positive, same
mass as
neutron (“1”)
ELECTRON –
negative, mass
nearly nothing

Mass and atomic number
25/05/2017
How many protons, neutrons and electrons?
Isotopes
25/05/2017
An isotope is an atom with a different number of neutrons:
Notice that the mass number is different. How many
neutrons does each isotope have?
Each isotope has 8 protons – if it didn’t then it just
wouldn’t be oxygen any more.
Electron structure
25/05/2017
Consider an atom of Potassium:
Potassium has 19 electrons.
These electrons occupy
specific energy levels
“shells”…
Nucleus
The inner shell has __ electrons
The next shell has __ electrons
The next shell has __ electrons
The next shell has the remaining __ electron
Electron structure
= 2,8,8,1
Periodic Table Introduction
25/05/2017
Periodic table
25/05/2017
The periodic table arranges all the elements
in groups according to their properties.
Vertical
columns are
called GROUPS
Mendeleev
Horizontal rows are called PERIODS
The Periodic Table
25/05/2017
Fact 1: Elements in the same group have the
same number of electrons in the outer shell (this
corresponds to their group number)

We’ve formed an IONIC bond.
Covalent bonding
25/05/2017
Consider an atom of hydrogen:
Notice that hydrogen has just __ electron in its outer
shell. A full (inner) shell would have __ electrons, so two
hydrogen atoms get together and “_____” their electrons:
Now they both have a ____ outer shell and are
more _____. The formula for this molecule is H2.
When two or more atoms bond by sharing electrons we
call it ____________ BONDING. This type of bonding
normally occurs between _______ atoms. It causes the
atoms in a molecule to be held together very strongly
but there are ____ forces between individual molecules.
This is why covalently-bonded molecules have low melting
and boiling points (i.e. they are usually ____ or ______).

An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons and
becomes charged:

-
The electron is negatively charged
The proton is positively charged
If we “take away” the electron
we’re left with just a positive
charge:
+

This is called an ion (in this case, a positive hydrogen ion)
Ionic bonding
25/05/2017
This is where a metal bonds with a non-metal (usually). Instead of sharing
the electrons one of the atoms “_____” one or more electrons to the
other. For example, consider sodium and chlorine:
Na
Sodium has 1 electron on its outer shell
and chlorine has 7, so if sodium gives
its electron to chlorine they both have
a ___ outer shell and are ______.

Atomic mass
25/05/2017
RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS, Ar
(“Mass number”) = number of
protons + number of neutrons
SYMBOL
PROTON NUMBER = number of
protons (obviously)
Relative formula mass, Mr
25/05/2017
The relative formula mass of a compound is the relative atomic
masses of all the elements in the compound added together.
E.g. water H2O:
Relative atomic mass of O = 16
Relative atomic mass of H = 1
Therefore Mr for water = 16 + (2x1) = 18
Work out Mr for the following compounds:
1) HCl
H=1, Cl=35 so Mr = 36
2) NaOH
Na=23, O=16, H=1 so Mr = 40
3) MgCl2
Mg=24, Cl=35 so Mr = 24+(2x35) = 94
4) H2SO4
H=1, S=32, O=16 so Mr = (2x1)+32+(4x16) = 98
5) K2CO3
K=39, C=12, O=16 so Mr = (2x39)+12+(3x16) = 138
A “Mole”
25/05/2017
Definition:
A mole of a substance is the relative formula
mass of that substance in grams
For example, 12g of carbon would be 1 mole of carbon...
...and 44g of carbon dioxide (CO2) would be 1 mole etc...
Calculating percentage mass
25/05/2017
If you can work out Mr then this bit is easy…
Percentage mass (%) =
Mass of element Ar
Relative formula mass Mr
x100%
Calculate the percentage mass of magnesium in magnesium oxide, MgO:
Ar for magnesium = 24
Ar for oxygen = 16
Mr for magnesium oxide = 24 + 16 = 40
Therefore percentage mass = 24/40 x 100% = 60%
Calculate the percentage mass of the following:
1) Hydrogen in hydrochloric acid, HCl
2) Potassium in potassium chloride, KCl
3) Calcium in calcium chloride, CaCl2
4) Oxygen in water, H2O
Recap questions
Work out the relative formula mass of:
1) Carbon dioxide CO2
2) Calcium oxide CaO
3) Methane CH4
Work out the percentage mass of:
1) Carbon in carbon dioxide CO2
2) Calcium in calcium oxide CaO
3) Hydrogen in methane CH4
25/05/2017
25/05/2017
Calculating the mass of a product
E.g. what mass of magnesium oxide is produced when 60g of
magnesium is burned in air?
Step 1: READ the equation:
2Mg + O2
2MgO
IGNORE the
oxygen in step 2 –
the question
doesn’t ask for it
Step 2: WORK OUT the relative formula masses (Mr):
2Mg = 2 x 24 = 48
2MgO = 2 x (24+16) = 80
Step 3: LEARN and APPLY the following 3 points:
1) 48g of Mg makes 80g of MgO
2) 1g of Mg makes 80/48 = 1.66g of MgO
3) 60g of Mg makes 1.66 x 60 = 100g of MgO
1) When water is electrolysed it breaks down into hydrogen and25/05/2017
oxygen:
2H2O
2H2 + O2
What mass of hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of 6g of water?
Work out Mr: 2H2O = 2 x ((2x1)+16) = 36
2H2 = 2x2 = 4
1.
36g of water produces 4g of hydrogen
2. So 1g of water produces 4/36 = 0.11g of hydrogen
3. 6g of water will produce (4/36) x 6 = 0.66g of hydrogen
2) What mass of calcium oxide is produced when 10g of calcium burns?
2Ca + O2
Mr: 2Ca = 2x40 = 80
2CaO
2CaO = 2 x (40+16) = 112
80g produces 112g so 10g produces (112/80) x 10 = 14g of CaO
3) What mass of aluminium is produced from 100g of aluminium oxide?
2Al2O3
4Al + 3O2
Mr: 2Al2O3 = 2x((2x27)+(3x16)) = 204
4Al = 4x27 = 108
204g produces 108g so 100g produces (108/204) x 100 = 52.9g of Al2O3
Another method
25/05/2017
Try using this equation:
Mass of product IN GRAMMES
Mass of reactant IN GRAMMES
Mr of product
Mr of reactant
Q. When water is electrolysed it breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen:
2H2O
2H2 + O2
What mass of hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of 6g of water?
Mass of product IN GRAMMES
6g
4
36
So mass of product = (4/36) x 6g = 0.66g of hydrogen
Problems with this technique
25/05/2017
Calculating the amount of a product may not always give you a
reliable answer...
1) The reaction may not have completely _______
2) The reaction may have been _______
3) Some of the product may have been ____
4) Some of the reactants may have produced other _______
The amount of product that is made is called the “____”.
This number can be compared to the maximum theoretical
amount as a percentage, called the “percentage yield”.
Words – lost, yield, finished, reversible, products
Atom Economy

Relative formula mass of useful product
Total masses of products
Calculate the atom economies of the following:
1) Converting ethanol into ethene (ethene is the useful bit):
C2H5OH
C2H4 + H20
2) Making zinc chloride from zinc and hydrochloric acid:
Zn + 2HCl
ZnCl2 + H2
Numbers of moles
25/05/2017
Consider two liquids:
20cm3 of 0.1mol/dm3 of
hydrochloric acid
20cm3 of 0.1mol/dm3 of
sodium hydroxide
These two beakers contain the same number of moles
Now consider two gases:
20cm3 of helium at room
temperature and pressure
20cm3 of argon at room
temperature and pressure
These two gases contain the same number of moles
25/05/2017
Endothermic and exothermic reactions
Step 1: Energy must
be SUPPLIED to
break bonds:
Step 2: Energy is
RELEASED when new
bonds are made:
Energy
Energy
A reaction is EXOTHERMIC if more energy is RELEASED
then SUPPLIED. If more energy is SUPPLIED then is
RELEASED then the reaction is ENDOTHERMIC

Copper sulphate +
magnesium powder
Sulphuric acid +

25/05/2017
Temp. after mixing/OC Exothermic or
endothermic?
Reversible Reactions
25/05/2017
Some chemical reactions are reversible. In other words, they
can go in either direction:
A + B
e.g. Ammonium chloride
NH4Cl
C + D
Ammonia + hydrogen chloride
NH3 + HCl
If a reaction is EXOTHERMIC in one direction
what must it be in the opposite direction?
For example, consider copper sulphate:
Hydrated copper
sulphate (blue)
+ Heat
CuSO4.5H2O
Anhydrous copper
sulphate (white)
CuSO4 + H2O
+
Water
Reversible Reactions
25/05/2017
When a reversible reaction occurs in a CLOSED SYSTEM (i.e. no reactants
are added or taken away) an EQUILIBRIUM is achieved – in other words,
the reaction goes at the same rate in both directions:
A + B
Endothermic reactions
Increased temperature:
A + B
C + D
C + D
Exothermic reactions
Increased temperature:
A + B
C + D
More products
Less products
Decreased temperature:

Making Ammonia
25/05/2017
Guten Tag. My name is Fritz Haber and I won the Nobel
Prize for chemistry. I am going to tell you how to use a
reversible reaction to produce ammonia, a very important
chemical. This is called the Haber Process.
Nitrogen + hydrogen
Ammonia
N2 + 3H2
2NH3
Fritz Haber,
1868-1934
To produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen you
have to use three conditions:
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
•High pressure
•450O C
•Iron catalyst
Mixture of NH3, H2 and
N2. This is cooled
causing NH3 to liquefy.
Recycled H2 and N2
Haber Process: The economics
25/05/2017
A while ago we looked at reversible reactions:
Endothermic, increased temperature
A + B
Endothermic
C + D
Exothermic, increase temperature
A + B
Nitrogen + hydrogen
Ammonia
N2 + 3H2
2NH3
C + D
Exothermic
1) If temperature was DECREASED the amount of ammonia formed would
__________...
2) However, if temperature was INCREASED the rate of reaction in both
directions would ________ causing the ammonia to form faster
3) If pressure was INCREASED the amount of ammonia formed would
INCREASE because there are less molecules on the right hand side of
the equation
Haber Process Summary
25/05/2017
A low temperature increases the yield of ammonia but is too
slow
A high temperature improves the rate of reaction but
decreases the yield too much
A high pressure increases the yield of ammonia but costs a lot
of money
To compromise all of these factors, these conditions are used:
Nitrogen
Hydrogen
•200 atm pressure
•450O C
•Iron catalyst
Mixture of NH3, H2
and N2. This is
cooled causing NH3
to liquefy.
Recycled H2 and N2

Chemical reactions occur when different
atoms or molecules _____ with enough
energy (the “________ Energy):
Basically, the more collisions we get the _______ the
reaction goes. The rate at which the reaction happens
depends on four things:
1) The _______ of the reactants,

4) Whether or not a _______ is used
Words – activation, quicker, catalyst, temperature, collide
Catalysts
25/05/2017
Task

2) The disadvantages of each catalyst
Catalyst Summary
25/05/2017
Catalysts are used to ____ __ a reaction to increase the rate
at which a product is made or to make a process ________.
They are not normally ___ __ in a reaction and they are
reaction-specific (i.e. different reactions need _________
catalysts).
Words – different, speed up, used up, cheaper

Electrolysis is used to separate a metal from its compound.
When we electrolysed
copper chloride the _____
chloride ions moved to the
______ electrode and the
______ copper ions moved
to the ______ electrode –

Electrolysis equations
25/05/2017
We need to be able to write “half equations” to show what
happens during electrolysis (e.g. for copper chloride):
At the negative electrode the
positive ions GAIN electrons to
become neutral copper ATOMS. The
half equation is:
Cu2+ + 2 e-
Cu
At the positive electrode the
negative ions LOSE electrons to
become neutral chlorine
MOLECULES. The half equation is:
2 Cl- - 2 e-

Sodium chloride (salt) is made of an alkali metal and a
halogen. When it’s dissolved we call the solution “brine”,
and we can electrolyse it to produce 3 things…

Whenever an acid and alkali neutralise each other we are left
with a salt, like a chloride or a sulphate. Complete the

Making Salts
25/05/2017
Soluble salts can be made from acids by reacting them with:
1) Metals, e.g.
Zn + 2HCl
ZnCl2 + H2
2) Insoluble bases, e.g.
CuO + 2HCl
CuCl2 + H20
3) Alkalis (alkali = a “soluble base”), e.g.
NaOH + HCl
NaCl + H20
Salts can be made from these solutions by crystallizing them.
Ammonium salts

Guten tag again. When ammonia dissolves in
water it produces an alkaline solution:
NH3 + H20
NH4OH
This solution can be used to make fertilisers. Very
useful!
