Q

why do diff atoms have diff chem prop’s?

A

the # and arrangement of the electrons

the space in which the electrons move accounts for most of the atomic volume. the electrons r the parts of the atoms that intermingle when atoms combine to form molecules. the # of electrons a given atom possesses greatly affects the way it can interact w/ other atoms

80
Q

atomic number

chlorine - chloide ion

flourine - flouride

bromine - bromide

iodine - iodide

oxygen + 2 electrons = oxide

sulfur + 2 electrons = sulfide

102
Q

ion group charges

A

Group 1 metals → +1

Group 2 metals → +2

many Group 3-12 metals → multiple charges

Group 13 metals → +3

Group 16 atoms → -2

Group 17 atoms → -1

103
Q

ionic compounds

A

whenever a compound is formed b/w a metal & non-metals, it can be expected to contain ions

usually formed with metals + nonmetals; when they react, the metal atoms tend to lose 1+ electrons, which r gained by the atoms of the nonmetals; the reactions tend to form compounds that contain metal cations & nonmetal anions

chem compounds must have net charge of 0 → must be cations & anions present; the # of cations & anion must result in net charge of zero

usually strong electrolytes & can be expected to dissociate completely in solution

104
Q

rules for compound formula writing

A

the cation/metal/pos. is always written first

use subscripts to balance charges on compounds

105
Q

brittle

74

111
Q

binary compounds

A

composed of 2 elements

two classes:

  1. metal & non-metal - metal forms only one cation
  2. metal & non-metal - the metal can form 2+ cations that have diff charges
  3. two non-metals
112
Q

Type I naming

A
  1. the cation is always named 1st and the anion 2nd
  2. a simple cation (obtained from a single atom) takes its name from the name of the element.
  3. a simple anion (obtained from a single atom) is named by taking the 1st part of the element name(the root) and adding -ide
113
Q

Type II naming

A
  1. cation always named 1st and the anion 2nd
  2. because the cation can assume more than one charge, the charge is specified by a Roman numeral in parentheses
114
Q

Type III naming

A
  1. 1st element in the formula is named first, and the full element name is used
  2. the 2nd element is named as though it were an anion
  3. prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present
  4. the prefix mono- is never used for naming the 1st element
115
Q

polyatomic ions

A

charged entities composed of several atom bound together

name the cation first and then the anion. use Roman numerals if necessary.

116
Q

oxyanions

A

series of ions that contain a given element and different oxygen atoms

when there are 2 members in such a series, the one with the smaller amount of oxygen is called -ite and the one with the larger amount of oxygen = -ate. when there are more than two members of a series, hypo- (one less) and per- (one more) are used as prefixes

Ex: hypochlorite, chlorite, chlorate, perchlorate

117
Q

naming acids

A

when dissolved in water, certain molecules produce H+ ions → acids

an acid can have one/more H+ ions. the rules for naming acids depends on whether the anion contains oxygen

  • if the anion doesn’t contain oxygen, the acid is named with the prefix hydro- and the suffix -ic attached to the root name for the element. HCl is hydrochloric acid.
  • when the anion contains oxygen and ends in -ate, the suffix for the acid becomes -ic. H2SO4 is sulfuric acid
  • when the anion contains oxygen and ends in -its, the suffix for the acid becomes -ous. H2SO3 is sulfurous acid.
118
Q

common acids

A

HCl → hydrochloric acid

HC2H3O2 → acetic acid

H2SO4 → sulfuric acid

HNO3 → nitric acid

H3PO4 → phosphoric acid

119
Q

emission of energy by atoms

A

when atoms receive energy, they become excited. they can release the energy by emitting a light. the emitted energy is carried away by a photon

the energy of the photon corresponds exactly to the energy change of the emitting atom

high energy photons correspond to short wavelength light. low energy photons correspond to long wavelength light

the photons of red light have less energy than the photons of blue light cuz red light has a longer wavelength than blue light

120
Q

energy levels of hydrogen

A

when we study the photons of visible light emitted, we only see certain colors

only certain types of photons r produced

because only certain protons r emitted, only certain energy changes r occurring

so, hydrogen atoms must have certain discrete energy levels

we say the energy levels of H r quantized, that is, only certain values r allowed

energy levels of all atoms r quantized

121
Q

hydrogen orbitals

A

the probability map is called an orbital. the orbital shown in the pic is called the 1s orbital & describes the ground (lowest) state of energy for H

size of orbital is defined by a sphere that contains 90% of the total electron probability

122
Q

principal energy levels

A

discrete energy levels

designated by whole #’s symbolized by n; n can equal 1, 2, 3, 4,… level 1 corresponds to n = 1,etc.

energy of the level increases as value of n increases

describe size & shape. the s orbital is spherical. level 1 is smaller than level 2, which is smaller than level 3.

each principal energy level contains 1+ types of orbitals, called sublevels

123
Q

sublevels

A

the # of sublevels present in a given principal energy level equals n.

e.g. level 1 contains one sublevel (1s); level 2 contains 2 sublevels (2 types of orbitals), the 2s orbital and the three 2p orbitals; and so on

these r sumarized in the pic. the # of each type of orbital is shown in parentheses

n value always used to label orbitals of a given principal energy level & followed by letter that indicates the type/shape of the orbital

124
Q

orbital

A

can be empty or can contain 1 or 2 electrons, but never more than 2

if 2 electrons occupy the same orbital, must have opp spins

shape of an orbital doesn’t indicate the details of electron movement - merely indicates the prob distribution for an electron residing in that orbital

125
Q

spin

A

each electron appears to spin like a top on its axis

can only spin in 1 direction. we represent spin with up & down arrows

126
Q

A

an atomic orbital can hold a max of 2 electrons & those 2 electrons must have opp spins

127
Q

Q

orbital diagram

box diagram

A
129
Q

valence electrons

A

the electrons in the outermost(highest) principal energy level of an atom

these r the electrons involved in bonding of atoms to each other

the atoms of elements in the same group have the same # of electrons in a given type of orbital, except that the orbitals are in diff princ energy levels (except He, which is 1s2)

elements w/ same valence electron arrangement show very similar chem behavior

130
Q

orbital filling

A

in a principal energy level that has d orbitals, the s orbital from the next level fills before the d orbitals in the current level. that is, the (n + 1)s orbitals always fill before the nd orbitals

Ex: the 5s orbitals fill for rubidium & strontium before the 4d orbitals fill

131
Q

after actinium, [Rn]7s26d1

14 elements

corresponds to the filling of seven 5f orbitals

133

in water, the fundamental unit is the H-O-H molecule, which is held together by the two O-H bonds

134
Q

ionic compounds

A

formed when an atom that loses an electron relatively easily reacts w/ an atom that accepts an electron

when metal reacts w/ non-metal

resulting bonds = ionic bonds

electrons transferred

135
Q

covalent bond

A

when 2 similar atoms form a bond, the electrons r equaly attracted to the nuclei of the 2 atoms

electrons shared by nuclei

Ex: diatomic hydrogen H-H

136
Q

polar covalent bonds

A

b/w the extremes

atoms r not so diff that electrons r transferred, but diff enough that unequal sharing of the electrons results

137
Q

electronegativity

A

the unequal sharing of electrons b/w 2 atoms is described by this property

the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself

the higher the electronegativity value, the closer the shared electrons tend to be to that atom when it forms a bond

F has highest electronegativy & so always forms polar bonds

increasing electronegativity as goes right and up on periodic table

138
Q

polarity

A

depends on the diff b/w the electronegativity values of the atoms forming the bonds

if similar electronegativities, the electrons r shared almost equally & bond shows little polarity

if very diff electronegativities, very polar bond is formed

139
Q

stable electron configurations

A

representative (main-group) metals form ions by losing enough electrons to attain the configuration of the previous noble gas that occurs before the metal

nonmetals form ions by gaining enough electrons to attain the configuration of the next noble gas

when a non-metal and a Group 1, 2, or 3 metal react to form a binary ionic bond, the ions form so that the non-metal completes the valence-electron config of the next noble gas & the metal empties the valence orbitals to achieve the config. of the prev. noble gas

when 2 non-metals react to form a covalent bond, share electrons in a way that completes the valence-electron configuration of both atoms

140
Q

Lewis structures

A

bonding involves jsut the valence electrons. this structure is a representation of a molecule that shows how the valence electrons r arranged among the atoms in a molecule

H - duet rule

He - doesn’t form bonds cuz valence orbital already filled

2nd row nonmetals C thru F - octet rule

Ne - doesn’t form bonds cuz already has an octet of valence electrons

  1. obtain sum of the valence electrons from all of the atoms
  2. use 1 pair of electrons to form a bond b/w each pair of bound atoms. use line.
  3. arrange the remaining electrons to satisfy the duet rule for hydrogen & the octet rule for each 2nd-row element (may need to guess & check w/ double bonds, etc.)
141
Q

duet rule

A

H forms stable molecules where it shares only 2 electrons

142
Q

octet rule

A

2nd-row nonmetals C through F form stable molecules when r surrounded by enough electrons to fill the valence orbitals - that is, the one 2s and the three 2p orbitals

8 electrons required to fill these orbitals

166
Q

atomic mass

molecular weight (MV)

A

most elements occur in nature as a mixture of isotopes

average mass of an atom in an element, expressed in atomic mass units (amu) or grams/mole

this is one reason why atomic masses r not whole #’s - they are based on averages

the average atomic weight of an element can be calculated if the abundance of each isotope for that element is known

Ex: Chlorine = mixture of 2 isotopes

35Cl - 34.96885268 amu - 75.77% abundance

37Cl - 36.96590259 amu - 24.23% abundance

35Cl → (75.77/100) • 34.97 amu = 26.50 amu

37Cl → (24.23/100) • 36.97 amu = 8.95 amu

26.5amu + 8.95amu = 35.45 amu = average atomic mass for chlorine

167
Q

amu

A

atomic mass unit

= 1/12th of the mass of a 12C atom = 1/661 x 10-24 gram

168
Q

mole

A

number of atoms in 12.000g of 12C can be calculated

one atom 12C = 12.000 amu (by definition)

= 12.000amu x (1.661 x 10-24g/amu)

1 atom = 1.993 x 10-23g

number of atoms = 12.000g • (1 atom/1.993 x 10-23g) = 6.02 x 1023 atoms

  • the # of atoms of any element needed to equal its atomic mass in grams will always be 6.022 x 1023 atoms, a quantity known as the **mole **(also known as Avogadro’s number)
  • one mole equals the atomic mass in grams of an element
    • mass of 1 mole of 12C = 12.000g
    • mass of 1 mole of C = 12.011g
    • mass of 1 mole of Na = 22.990g

172
Q

  1. 1 mol Al = 26.98 g Al
  2. 10.0g Al x (1mol Al/26.98g Al) = 0.371 mol Al
  3. 6.022 x 1023 Al atoms = 1 mol Al atoms
  4. 0.371 mol Al x (6.022 x 1023 Al atoms/1 mol Al) = 2.23 x 1023 Al atoms
174
Q

  1. 1g = 1000mg
  2. 5.68mg Si x (1g Si/1000mg Si) = 5.68 x 10-3 g Si
  3. 1 mol Si atoms = 28.09 g Si
  4. 5.68 x 10-3 g Si x (1 mol Si/28.09 g Si) = 2.02 x 10-4 mol Si
  5. 1 mol = 6.022 x 1023
  6. 2.02 x 10-4 mol Si x (6.022 x 1023 atoms/1 mol Si) = 1.22 x 1020 Si atoms
175
Q

acid

A

proton (H+) donor

176
Q

base

A

a proton acceptor

177
Q

acids and bases

A

the general reaction that occurs when an acid is dissolved in water can best be rep-ed as an aicid donating a proton to a water molecule to form a new acid (the conjugate acid) and a new base (the conjugate base)

HA(aq)(acid) + H2O(l)(base) → H3O+(aq)(conj acid) + A-(aq)(conj base)

this model emphasizes the role of the water molecule in pulling the proton from the acid

178
Q

conjugate acid

A

formed when the proton is transferred to the base

179
Q

conjugate acid-base pair

A

2 substances related to each other by the donating and accepting of a single proton

HA(aq)(acid) + H2O(l)(base) → H3O+(aq)(conj acid) + A-(aq)(conj base)

↑↑↑there are 2 acid-base pairs: HA(acid) and A-(base) and H2O(base) and H3O+(acid)

180
Q

more acids and bases

A

HCl(aq)(acid) + H2O(l)(base) → H3O+(aq)(conj acid) + Cl-(aq)(conj base)

  • in this case, HCl is the acid that loses an H+ ion to form Cl-, its conjugate base
  • H2O (acting as a base) gains an H+ ion to form H3O+ (the conj acid)
  • H3O+ is called the hydronium ion
181
Q

which are acid-base pairs?

A
  1. HF, F-→ yes. lost H+
  2. NH4+, NH3 → yes. lost H+
  3. HCl, H2O → no

1 & 2 are conjugate acid-base pairs cuz the 2 species differ by one H+

182
Q

reverse reaction

A

the conj acid & conj base can also react w/ each other to reform the parent molecule and water. a reaction can occur in both directions (other = forward reaction)

the products in the forward reaction = the reactants in the reverse reaction

we use double arrows to rep reactions that occur in both directions

183
Q

strong acid

A

HA(aq) + H20(l) ↔ H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)

this rep’s a competition for the H+ ion b/w the H2O in the forward reaction and the A- in the reverse direction (either H+ or A- will go with H2O)

if the H2O has a higher attraction for H+ compared to A-, then the solution will contain mostly H3O+ and A-. The forward reaction dominates and the acid is completely ionized or dissociated.

has relatively weak conjugate base

184
Q

weak acid

A

if the H2O has a higher attraction for A-compared to H+ then the solution will contain mostly HA and H2O. the reverse reaction dominates and most of the acid remains as HA.

relatively strong conj base

Ex: acetic acid. most of the acid remains intact when dissolved in water.

185
Q

diprotic acid

A

contributes 2 H+ ions when dissolved in water

Ex: sulfuric acid, H2SO4

186
Q

amphoteric substance

A

can act as an acid or a base

H2O

in the ionization of water, a proton transfers from one molecule of water to the other, producing a hydroxide ion and a hyronium ion

H2O(l) + H2O(l) ↔ H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)

in this reaction, 1 water molecule acts as an acid by donating a proton. the other acts as a base by accepting a proton

the forward reaction doesn’t occur to a great extent, meaning that in pure water, very little amounts of hydronium and hydroxide ions exist.

187
Q

concentration

A

[] used to denote this

[H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M in water

[H3O+] can also be written as [H+]

(volume of acid)(concentration of acid) = (volume of base)(concentration of base)

Va • Ma = Vb • Mb

measured in units of solute/liter of solution -or- molarity

188
Q

ion-product constant

A

the product of [H+] [OH-] = (1.0 x 10-7(1.0 x 10-7) = 1.0 x 10-4 and is a constant

noted as Kw

Kw = [H+] [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-4

** because the product is constant, if [H+] increases, [OH-] must decrease. If [H+] decreases, [OH-] must increase

189
Q

possible acid situations

A

in a solution, there are 3 possible situations

  1. adding an acid to water, increasing [H+]

[H+] > [OH-] → acidic solution

  1. adding a base to water, increasing [OH-]

[H+] < [OH-] → basic solution

  1. having equal amounts of acid and base

[H+] = [OH-] → neutral solution

190
Q

pH

A

a convenient way to express the acidity of a solution

pH = -log[H+]

1-6 = acidic

7 = neutral

8-14 = basic
