In the presence of a flame:
Is it still the same substance?
Have the physical properties changed?

If the flame cools down:
The candle does not come back by itself.

In this chemical reaction, the atoms were rearranged.
This change is irreversible.
Memory wire is an alloy of nickel and titanium that looks like ordinary wire
You can bend memory wire into complex shapes but when heated, it seems to return back to its original shape
It seems that heat allows the wire to get energy needed to go back to its original form
Physical changes can be reversed by physical means such as bending, changing temperature, cutting, shaping, filtering or drying
When a log is burned, heat is applied and the wood turns into ashes
If the ashes are allowed to cool, they do not spontaneously turn back into wood again!! This is a chemical change
A chemical change occurs when one substance turns into one or more different substances
Chemical changes are not reversible by physical means because the atoms rearrange atoms into different substances
Some chemical changes can be reversed, but by more chemical changes
Physical and chemical changes are fundamentally different as said earlier, physical changes are reversible and chemical changes are not
When a candle is burned there are two things happening, the solid wax turns into liquid, and if allow, it can become a solid again (physical change - reversible)
However, as the wax burns it also disappears and cannot be found again (chemical change - irreversible)
When wax burns it turns into carbon, water vapor and carbon dioxide (three very different substances)
Candle wax is made from paraffin C20H42 (20 carbon and 42 hydrogen atoms) If melted and shaped and cut into little pieces, it
would still contain C20H42 any physical change to paraffin would leave it with
the same amount of carbon, and hydrogen
Energy is required to cause physical or chemical changes (the amount of energy determines what changes occur)
If the energy is great enough then molecules may be broken and a chemical change can occur
When molecules have a strong bond or attractive force, a lot of external energy is needed to cause a chemical change
Intermolecular forces are the forces that keep molecules or atoms attracted and connected together
For example because of the strong interatomic forces between hydrogen and oxygen, water takes a lot of energy to break the molecules apart
Intermolecular forces are the forces that act between molecules (physical changes only involve intermolecular forces)
Interatomic forces are the forces that bonds atoms together to form ions or molecules
Interatomic forces are stronger than intermolecular forces
To turn ice into water requires 100 times less energy that the energy needed to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water
Assignment
Take a new sheet of paper and fold it into three sections
Write your name, the title of the chapter and the number
On the first section from the sheet of paper, please write six things that you learned from your notes so far that could appear on your test.
Any process that changes the shape of a substance is a physical change (including grinding in all forms)
Sugar is still sugar even if it is made from large crystals, ground, granulated or powdered
Adding food coloring to water does not change the properties of the water or the dye, just the color
Mixing is also a physical change even though it may be vigorous
Mixing, drying, and whipping produces different looks, but the substances still have the same properties as before
Drying is the opposite of dissolving Sometimes drying can be a chemical
change as in the case of latex paints When latex or acrylic paints combine
with oxygen to make a new substance that cannot be reversed back to the liquid state again
In a chemical change: - the atoms are rearranged- interatomic forces are broken
In a physical change: - the molecules are rearranged- intermolecular forces are broken- interatomic forces are not broken
Physical vs. chemical change
Most matter exists as compounds and not as single atoms (because of stability)
Inside of atoms there are clues that tell how they will exist in nature and why they form compounds
Imagine a football field with a small marble in the middle, that would represent the atom, nucleus and the electron cloud
If your classroom was an atom, the nucleus would be the size of a grain of sand
Most of an atom is made up of the electron cloud and 99.8 % of the mass is made up of the nucleus
Matter has mass and volume, however matter also has electric charge
There are two basic types of electric charge positive and negative which attract each other
The nucleus may have one or more protons and they have positive charges
Surrounding the nucleus is an electron cloud that may have one or more electrons which have a negative charge
Similar charges repel each other Also in the nucleus of the atom is one or more
neutrons and they have no electrical charge
Electrons are strongly attracted to the protons but they do not fall into the nucleus because of their kinetic energy
Think of the sun and the earth and how the sun pulls the earth into its gravitational field, but we do not get pulled into the sun because the speed at which earth travels around the sun
The electrical attraction between protons and electrons are 1040 times stronger than earth’s gravitational pull
The electric charge of an atom is always zero because the number of protons always equals the number of electrons
Assignment
On the second section of that sheet of paper, please write six things that you learned from your notes so far that could appear on your test.
Each atom has a different number of protons and electrons in them
The way the electrons are arranged is what creates each element’s unique chemical properties
Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and it is the electron on the outside of the nucleus that makes it react with oxygen in a two - to – one ratio to make H2O
Chemical bonds are created by electrons Two atoms that are sharing one or more electrons
form a chemical bond and move together
One of the strongest bonds possible is a covalent bond which is two atoms sharing one electron
In a covalent bond electrons are shared not transferred and form molecules (nonmetals bonding)
The water molecule has two covalent bonds (between each hydrogen and oxygen)
Other examples of covalent bonds in action are O2, N2, NH3, CH4 (page 109 of text)
Atoms can share one two or three electrons and that corresponds to single bonds, double bonds or triple bonds (all of these bonds are neutral)
Why chemical bonds form
It takes energy to separate atoms that are bonded together.
The same energy is released when chemical bonds form.
Atoms form bonds to reach a lower energy state.
Chemical bonds occur when the reactions are advantageous to their overall energy (energy is reduced)
When you put two magnets close together they pull closer and closer until they connect (their overall energy is less together than they were separate)
To pull the magnets apart, it takes a lot of energy or force (like breaking bonds apart)
If it took energy to pull them apart, then it is equivalent to the energy that was lost or released when they came together
Chemical Bonds and Electrons
A chemical bond forms when atoms transfer or share electrons.
A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons.
Covalent bond- a chemical bond resulting from the sharing of electrons between two atoms
The number of electrons corresponds to the atomic number of the element, as shown in
the periodic table.
Structure of the atom
Electrons have a negative electric
charge.
If negative charges repel each other, how does an atom
stay together?
The general rule in chemistry is that atoms combine and arrange so that they can have the lowest possible energy (atoms have lower energy in compounds than when they are separated)
Page 110 shows that two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen have way more energy separated that they do when they form water
For every mole of water (18 grams) 285,000 joules of energy is released (called the enthalpy of formation ∆Hf)
The ∆Hf is zero for pure elements
Enthalpy of formation∆Hf (kJ/mole)
Chemical bonds form because there is an advantage in energy.
Lower energy =
more stable
Not all compounds are made of molecules, (two or more nonmetals sharing electrons), sometimes electrons are taken from one atom and used by another to make it perfect (like group 18 atoms - the noble gases) – called ionic bonding
The loss or gain of electrons in a compound is called an ionic bond
Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals (like sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, and aluminum chloride) in each of these cases one, two or three electrons are lost by the metal and gained by the nonmetal to form positive and negative ions
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost one, two or three electrons to become more stable
Types of Bonds
Ionic bond- a chemical bond resulting from electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions.
pure ionic bond - electrons are transferred.
In ionic compounds, electrons are NOT SHARED but TRANSFERRED.

There are two covalent bonds in a water molecule.

Some elements can share multiple
electrons with the same atom.

Octet RuleOctet Rule
In many compounds, atoms of main group elements (p block) form bonds so that each atom has an octet of electrons.
Octet RuleOctet Rule
Octet Rule- Chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level.
Chemical changes result when one or more substances are converted into different ones with different properties
The digestion of food is the process of braking food down from complex structures to more simple ones (with new properties)
An example of a chemical change is electrolysis which is the breaking down of water from H2O into O2 and H2 by electrical means
A chemical change is caused by a chemical reaction which is usually denoted with a balanced chemical equation
Balanced chemical equations are important because they must uphold the law of conservation of matter
When dealing with chemical reactions, there are always reactants to the left of the arrow, and products to the right of the arrow
There are also a combination of letters (that represent elements) and numbers (that represent the number of elements or that compound)
The number to the front of the element is called a coefficient and tell how many of that element or compound
The subscript is also a number that tells how much of that element is there in that compound
subscript coefficient
reactants → Products
Rules of balancing a chemical equation:
1. Determine if the equation is balanced.Count the number of each kind of atom on either
side of the arrow.
2. If it is not balanced, use coefficients. Ex: H2O becomes 2H2O
3. Do not change the subscripts inside the molecular formulas.
Ex: H2O cannot become H3O
4. Check that the equation is balanced.Count the number of each kind of atom on either
side of the arrow with the new coefficients.
The chemical equation
Rules and Examples When balancing chemical equations:
Do not change the subscripts in the compound You can change coefficients to make the
reactant side equal the product side The process is trial and error
Balance the following equations:
Mg + O2 MgO
Na + H2O NaOH + H2
Al + H2SO4 Al2(SO4)3 + H2
KClO3 KCl + O2
Energy and Reactions Enthalpy is the energy potential of a chemical
reaction at standard temperature and pressure – measured in joules per mole (J/m) or kilojoules per mole
If the enthalpy is positive, the reaction increases the total energy of the constituent atoms (endothermic)
If the enthalpy is negative, the reaction decreases the total energy of the constituent atoms (exothermic)
Energy is involved in chemical reactions in two ways:
1. to break some (or all) bonds between atoms in the reactants so the atoms can form new bonds or
2. when the atoms or products form new bonds to make new products.

Two Types of Reactions
We classify chemical reactions based on how the energy of the reactants compares to the energy of the products.
Respiration
Photosynthesis
Mixing water and CO2 doesn’t make sugar and O2 because energy input is needed.
Energy input is not needed
but just mixing sugar and O2 doesn’t make
water and CO2.
What is missing?
Endothermic reactions
If forming new bonds in the products releases less energy than it took to break the original bonds, the reaction is endothermic.
Photosynthesis and a cold pack are both endothermic reactions

Exothermic reactions

Energy is released
First law of thermodynamics:Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Are these violations of the first law?
Systems and Activation Energy The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created,
so it is always conserved It is impossible to do experiments with the whole universe, so scientist
clearly define what they are observing and they call it the system Everything around the system is called the surroundings Most often, the system will be the products and the reactants The total mass and energy of the system and the surroundings are
always constant Any matter or energy gained by the system must be lost by the
surroundings and visa versa Activation energy is the energy needed to begin a reaction and break
chemical bonds in the reactants.

Many reactions occur between chemicals that are dissolved in water (including those in the human body)
Reactions occur more in water because molecules can move around better and interact with each other
An aqueous solution is one where the chemicals are dissolved in water
When writing balanced chemical equations there are some symbols that help indicate what is happening: (s) – indicates solid (l) – indicates liquid (g) – indicates gas (aq) – indicates aqueous
A precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when an aqueous chemical reaction produces a solid
salts are made from ionic compounds (made from metal and non metal ions) that form ions when dissolved in water
The most typically known salt ions are Cu2+ and (SO4-

Acids and Bases When pure water is examined it is seen that one out
of 550 million water molecules dissociated (separated) out the H+ and (OH-) ions
The reaction is written with double arrows to show that it goes in both directions
At equilibrium one out of every 550 million water molecules dissociates
In acids, the ions dissociates to form more H+ ions than there are in water Create a sour taste in foods (like lemons) React with metals to form hydrogen gas Corrode metals and burn skin through a chemical reaction
In bases, the ions dissociates to form more OH- than there are in water Create a bitter taste (like baking soda) Have a slippery feel, like soap Can also neutralize acids

Acid /Base Reactions When acids and bases combine chemically,
they form water and salt A salt can also e defined as what is formed
when the positive ion from a base, and the negative ion from an acid combine NaOH + HCl NaCl + HOH
Sodium is the positive ion of the base and the chlorine is the negative ion from the acid
Acids and bases are very important to chemistry since they are needed in the body for many reactions to occur (this importance grants them their own scale called the pH scale (shown on the next slide)
HCl(l) H+(aq) + Cl–(aq)H2O(l)
acid: a chemical that dissolves in water to create more H+ ions than there are in neutral water.
Acids give foods like lemons their sour taste.Acids react with metal to create hydrogen gas (H2).Acids can corrode metal and burn skin.
Example:
Hydrochloric acid
NaOH(l) Na+(aq) + OH–
