Matter
• Anything that has Weight and occupies space.
• States of Matter.– Gas– Liquid– Solid
• Density– Mass per unit
volume
The Mole
• A counting unit• Similar to a dozen, except instead
of 12, it’s 602 billion trillion 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
• 6.02 X 1023 (in scientific notation)• This number is named in honor of
Amedeo _________ (1776 – 1856)Amedeo _________ (1776 – 1856), who studied quantities of gases and discovered that no matter what the gas was, there were the same number of molecules present
How Big is a Mole?
• Enough soft drink cans to cover the surface of the earth to a depth of over 200 miles.
• If you had Avogadro's number of unpopped popcorn kernels, and spread them across the United States of America, the country would be covered in popcorn to a depth of over 9 miles.
• If we were able to count atoms at the rate of 10 million per second, it would take about 2 billion years to count the atoms in one mole.
Mass Number and Isotopes
• Mass number is given the symbol A.• A is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.• Z = proton number N = neutron number• A = Z + N• • A common symbolism used to show mass and droton
numbers is
Mass Number and Isotopes
• Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with different neutron numbers.• Isotopes have different masses and A values but are the same element.
• One example of an isotopic series is the hydrogen isotopes. • 1H or protium is the most common hydrogen isotope -- one proton and no neutrons • 2H or deuterium is the second most abundant hydrogen isotope -- one proton and one neutron • 3H or tritium is a radioactive hydrogen isotope -- one proton and two neutrons
Chemical Bonding
• Chemical bonding involves sharing of valence electrons between two atoms, because all atoms want 8 atoms in the valence shell, just like the noble gases.
Types of Chemical Bonds
• Covalent bonds – sharing of a pair of electrons.
• Ionic bonds – complete transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
• Metallic bonds – valence electrons are relatively free to move – attracted to multiple nuclei simultaneously; this leads to formation of a sea of electrons.
Ionic Bonding The desired electron shell configuration is
that of noble gases, with a full valence shell.
Ionic bonds result from a transfer of electrons from one species (usually a metal) to another (usually a nonmetal or polyatomic ion). Electronegativity difference of greater than 1.6 or 1.7.Examples: NaCl and MgCl2
Covalent Bonding
• The desired electron shell configuration is that of noble gases, with a full valence shell.
Covalent bonds result from atoms sharing valence electrons Electronegativity difference of less than 1.6 or 1.7.
Symbology of Covalent Bonds (1)
• Chemists often use the symbol "-" to represent a
bond. For example, H-H is a "hydrogen
molecule" and Cl-Cl is a "chlorine molecule." The line in between the two atoms means that they are sharing two electrons between them.
• Pure hydrogen exists as H2 molecules
• Pure chlorine exists as Cl2
• Pure bromine exists as Br2
• Pure iodine exists as I2
Symbology of Covalent Bonds (2)
• Oxygen atoms like to combine to form O2. In this case, each oxygen atom wants 2 more electrons, so when the two oxygen atoms get together they share a total of 4 electrons. We write O2 as:
double bond
Symbology of Covalent Bonds (3)
• Nitrogen likes to combine to form a diatomic molecule, in this case N2. Each nitrogen atom, however, wants 3 electrons, so two nitrogen atoms share a total of 6 electrons.
triple bond
Electronegativity Determines Bonding
• Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a molecule of a compound. The value of electronegativity of an element describes the ability of its atom to com-pete for electrons with the other atom to which it is bonded. Electronegativity is however not the property of an isolated atom.The most widely used scale of electronegativities was devised in the 1930s by Linus Pauling. On the Pauling scale, fluorine, the most electronegative element, is assigned an electronegativity of 4.0 and all other elements are assigned values relative to fluorine.
Definition -- Element
• consists of only one kind of atom,• cannot be broken down into a simpler type
of matter by either physical or chemical means, and can exist as either atoms (e.g. argon) or molecules (e.g., nitrogen).
• A molecule consists of two or more atoms of the same element, or different elements, that are chemically bound together. Note that the two nitrogen atoms which comprise a nitrogen molecule move as a unit.
Definition -- Compound
• consists of atoms of two or more different elements bound together,
• can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means),
• has properties that are different from its component elements, and
• always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.
Definition – Mixture (1)
• consists of two or more different elements and/or compounds physically intermingled,
• can be separated into its components by physical means, and
• often retains many of the properties of its components. Example: fabrics, vinegar, soil, rocks, rocks, milk, lemonade
Definition – Mixture (2)
• Heterogeneous mixtures- the substances in the kind of a mixture are not spread out evenly. Example: a bottle of liquid salad dressing.
• Homogeneous mixtures- the substances are spread evenly throughout, a homogeneous mixture is called a solution. Example: vinegar (water and acetic acid are mixed evenly throughout). Other examples: sea water, soft drinks, glass
Definition – Solution
• A solution is a homogeneous mixture in which one substance (the solute) is dissolved in another substance (the solvent). Example: salt water (Water, the solvent, plus salt, the solute, produces the solution of salty water.)
Definition – Suspension
• A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the particles are large enough to be seen by a microscope or the unaided eye (eventually, they settle out of the mixture). Example: stirring a teaspoon of dirt in a glass of water.
