Being familiar with main groups ofelements in the periodic table. Naming simple compounds,compounds ioniccompounds, and getting the chemicalformulas from the names. Dr. A. Al-Saadi21

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 1The Atomic TheoryIn 1808, John Dalton presented his theory.1. An element is made up from extremely small particlescalled atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical,but are different for different elements.Dalton had no idea what an atom would look like!2. Elements combine to form chemical compounds.3. A chemical reactioneaction involvesvo ves rearrangementea a ge e t ofo atoms;ato s; ittdoesn’t create or destroy them.Atoms » Elements » Molecules (Compounds)Dr. A. Al-Saadi3Chapter 2Section 1The Atomic TheoryCombination of oxygen and carbon to form carbon dioxideDr. A. Al-Saadi42

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 1Law of Definite Proportion By Joseph Proust.Different samples of a given compound alwayscontain the same elements in the same massratio.Dr. A. Al-Saadi5Chapter 2Section 1What Did Dalton Observe in CO Molecules?Mass ofoxygen thatcombines with1g of carbonRatio of mass ofoxygen thatcombines with 1gof carbon12or111.33g2.66gDr. A. Al-Saadi2etc.24oretc.1163

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 1Law of Multiple Proportions By John Dalton.If two elements can combine to form more thanone compound with each other, the masses ofone element that combine with a fixed mass ofthe other element are in ratios of small wholenumbers.Dr. A. Al-Saadi7Chapter 2Section 1Law of Multiple Proportions Dr. A. Al-SaadiFor several compounds of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O),the followingg results were observed:Compound AMass of Nitrogen thatcombines with 1g ofOxygen1.750 gCompound B0 8750 g0.8750Compound C0.4375 g84

Al-Saadi9Chapter 2Section 1Law of Conservation of Mass Matter can be neither created nor destroyed.Because matter is made up of atoms that areunchanged (masses and properties) in a chemicalreaction, it follows that mass must be conservedas well.Combination of oxygen and carbon to form carbon dioxideDr. A. Al-Saadi105

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 2Early Imagination of the Atom What did Dalton think about the structure of anatom? Extremely small.Invisible.Has a mass.The smallest size ever of matter.No internal structure.By mid 1800’s it became evident that atoms aredivisible - there is an internal structure to theatom. (subatomic particles)Dr. A. Al-Saadi11Chapter 2Section 2Cathode Ray ExperimentDr. A. Al-Saadi126

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 2Cathode Ray Experiment The Deflection of the ray by a magnet indicates thatthe rayy is made upp of negativelygy chargedg pparticles.Thomson measured thecharge-to-mass ratio as:e 1.76 108 C/gmDr. A. Al-Saadi13Chapter 2Section 2Cathode Ray Experiment Dr. A. Al-SaadiCathode ray experiments revealedimportant conclusions about thestructure off theh atom. The ray is a stream of negativelycharged particles (later on calledelectrons). All atoms must containelectrons. Since the atom is neutral overall,overallit must have a positively chargedcomponent.Plum-pudding modelsuggested by Thomson147

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 2The Nuclear Atom Rutherford’s Model vs. Thomson’s Model.Thomson’s model(The plum-pudding model)Rutherford’s model(The nuclear atom)Dr. A. Al-Saadi19Chapter 2Section 2The Nuclear AtomMain components of atoms:Outside the nucleus: Electrons: are responsible forthe chemistry of the atom.Inside the nucleus: Protons: are positively chargedparticles whose charge is equali magnitudeinit d tot thatth t forfelectrons.The simplest viewof the atomDr. A. Al-Saadi2010

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 2The Nuclear Atom Nucleus is very tiny in terms ofsize.Each proton carries exactly theopposite charge of an electron.Almost all the atomic mass isconcentrated in it (very dense)!!The mass of the proton is1 67 10-24 g.1.67 10gIf a nucleus were to have thesize of a pea, it would weigh250,000,000,000 kg!10-8 cm 100 picometer1 10-121 picometer (pm) mDr. A. Al-Saadi21Chapter 2Section 2The Nuclear Atom Dr. A. Al-SaadiRutherford’s model left one problem: If H has a mass of 1, then He should have a massof 2. But its mass is 4!J. Chadwick (1932) discovered the neutrons;massive but uncharged particles.2211

Al-Saadi3015

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 4The Periodic Table Scientists noticed that chemical and physicalpropertiesppof certain groupsg p of elements aresimilar to one another.This led to the development of the periodic table.Dr. A. Al-Saadi31Chapter 2Section 4The Modern Periodic TableTiDr. A. Al-Saadi3216

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 4The Modern Periodic Table- Periods : horizontalrows- Families (Groups) :vertical columnsElements in the samefamily have similarchemical and physicalpropertiesTi- Arranged in order ofincreasing atomicnumberDr. A. Al-Saadi33Chapter 2Section 4The Modern Periodic Table Metals: compose most of the periodic table. They have characteristicphysical properties e.g. High heat and electric conduction, malleability (hammered to sheet),ductility (pulled into wires). Tend to lose electrons to form ve ions. Fe2 , Fe3 , Na ,K , Ca2 .Nonmetals: lack the physical properties of metals. Tend to gain electrons to become –ve ions, like Cl-, F-, O2-, S2-. Tend to bond with each other by forming (covalent bonds), such asCl2, HCl,, N2O,, CO2 etc. react with metals to form salt (ionic bonds), such as NaCl, CaF2, etc.Metalloids: have intermediate properties. Dr. A. Al-SaadiExamples are B, Si, Ge, etc.3417

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 4The Modern Periodic Table- The metallic propertiesincrease as going fromright to left across aperiod.- The groups in theperiodic table are givenspecial names. Alkali metals.Ti Alkaline earth metalsmetals. Chalcogens Halogens. Nobel gasses. Transition metals.Dr. A. Al-Saadi35Chapter 2Section 4The Modern Periodic Table-TheThe groups in theperiodic table aregiven special names. Alkali metals. Alkaline earth metals. Chalcogens Halogens. Nobel gasses. Transition metals.Dr. A. Al-Saadi3618

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 5Atomic Masses Atomic mass is the mass of anatom expressed in atomic massunit (amu).By definition used by modernsystems, carbon-twelve 12C isassigned a mass of exactly 12amu.O atomicOnei mass uniti isi definedd fi das tha mass exactly equal to1/12 the mass of one carbon-12atom.Dr. A. Al-Saadi37Chapter 2Section 5Atomic Masses Carbon-12 (12 amu) provides the standard for measuringthe atomic mass of the rest of elements.Example: Hydrogen atom 1H was found to be 8.3985%as massive as the C-12 atom. Can you find the atomicmass of a hydrogen atom in amu?Mass 1H 12 amu 0.083985 1.0078 amu.Dr. A. Al-Saadi3819

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 5Average Atomic MassesWhy the carbon in theperiodic table has a masspmoff12.01 amu and not 12 amu?Carbon exists naturally as amixture of three isotopes, 12C,13C and 14C and thus the atomicmass unit used for the carbonatom ini theh periodici di tablebl isi thehaverage value of the masses ofthose isotopes.Dr. A. Al-Saadi39Chapter 2Section 5Average Atomic MassesThe average atomic mass (or justthe atomic mass) of the carbonatom 98.89% of 12 amu (12C) 1.11% of 13.0034 amu (13C) (0.9889)(12 amu) (0.0111)(13.0034 amu) 12.011 amu Dr. A. Al-SaadiThat is applied for all theelements of the periodic table.4020

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 5Average Atomic Masses Remember that, there is no asingle carbon atom that has themass of 12.010 amu. This is theaverage mass per carbon atomThat is applied for all theelements of the periodic table.The mass of each element listedin the periodic table is an averagevalue based on the isotopiccomposition of the naturallyoccurring element.Dr. A. Al-Saadi41Chapter 3Section 5ExerciseAtomic mass (mass of isotope 1 x fractional abundance of 1) (mass of isotope 2 x fractional abundance of 2) (mass of isotope 3 x fractional abundance of 3) .Dr. A.

Al-Saadi43Chapter 2Section 6Molecular Compounds & Ionic Compounds Dr. A. Al-SaadiThe force holds atoms together is called achemical bond.bondSome types of chemical bonds are Covalent bonds: Two atoms “usuallynonmetals” can form a bond by sharingelectrons to produce “molecular compounds”. Ionic bonds: Two oppositely charged ions (acation and an anion) “a metal and a nonmetal”can form a bond by attraction to produce “ioniccompounds”.4422

08-Sep-11Chapter 2Section 6Molecular Compounds Molecule : combination of atleast two atoms in a specificarrangement held together bychemical bonds. May be an element or acompound.H2, hydrogen gas,gas is an element.elementH2O, water, is a compound.They are also called “binarycompounds”.N2COCH4Dr. A.
