Chapter 2-1
A substance made up of two or more different types of atoms bonded together.
Elements are to compounds as letters are to words.
Elements change when they form compounds. Sounds of letters change to form words
All compounds have the same ratio of elements. Ammonia: 3 hydrogen for every nitrogen
Ratio of 3:1 Hydrazoic acid: 1 hydrogen for 3 nitrogen
atoms Ratio of 1:3
Different ratios = different properties
A chemical formula uses chemical symbols and the ratios of elements to represent a compound.
Carbon Dioxide: 1 carbon and 2 oxygen Symbol for Carbon
C Symbol for Oxygen
O CO2
Subscript: Number to the lower right, tells the number of atoms
Hydrogen Chloride: 1 hydrogen and 1 chlorine
Water: 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen Ammonia: 1 Nitrogen and 3 Hydrogen CH4
C3H8
Hydrogen Chloride: 1 hydrogen and 1 chlorine
HCl
Water: 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen H2O
Ammonia: 1 Nitrogen and 3 Hydrogen NH3
CH4
Methane: 1 Carbon and 4 Hydrogen
C3H8 Propane: 3 Carbon and 8 Hydrogen
