What are Diatoms?What are Diatoms?7 gases must exist as diatoms

(two atoms)This means those atoms will

NEVER be found alone.

They are H2O2F2I2N2Br2Cl2◦Also known as the HOFINBrCl Twins!

How Do we write a chemical How Do we write a chemical formula?formula?We use what was earned in

chapter 5 to translate a word into a chemical formula

Copper II Chloride becomes CuCl2

Dinitrogen Monoxide becomes N2O

Example 1Example 1

Write the following statement into a chemical formula:

Mercury II Oxide decomposes into Merucury and Oxygen

Example 2Example 2

Write the following statement into a chemical formula:

Aluminum is dropped into a beaker of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The reaction yields Aluminum Chloride and Hydrogen Gas.

Reaction RatesReaction RatesAll reaction occur at a certain

rate of time

Four factors can affect how fast or slow a reaction can go

1. Temperature1. Temperature

Usually, increasing the temperature increases the reaction rate.

Increases the kinetic energy of particles when they collide

2. Concentration 2. Concentration (Molarity)(Molarity)

More particles reacting means more of a chance for a reaction to occur

A higher concentration means a higher reaction rate

3. Particle Size3. Particle Size

The smaller the particle, the higher the surface area.

Higher surface area means something has a better chance to react.

4. Catalyst4. Catalyst

The addition of a catalyst increases a reaction by lowering the activation energy without using up the catalyst

Activation Energy is the energy needed in order for a reaction to occur
