Introduction To Chemistry 30Components of an Atom-

The modern atom as viewed by scientists today consists of three main particles located in two regions. The first of these two regions is the nucleus, or central core of the atom which is composed of positively charged protons and neutrons with a neutral charge.

Atom ReviewIt is believed that the neutrons are needed to hold the positively charged protons together in the nucleus. The force that holds these particles together is termed the nuclear binding force and it is believed to be one of the strongest forces that exists in nature.The nucleus takes up a very small portion of the atom. If the atom was the size of a football field the nucleus would be the size of a household fly on the 55 yard line.The second region surrounds the nucleus and is termed an electron cloud. The cloud holds the third particle which is a negatively charged electron.

Characteristics of the AtomThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is termed its atomic number. This number is distinctive (characteristics) for the atoms of each element (it can be found on the periodic table).Atomic Number = # of protons

The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is not distinctive and may vary. This creates varieties of atoms we call isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

Another characteristic of an atom of an element is it's atomic mass. Protons and Neutrons have approximately the same mass, while electrons have very little mass in comparison to either Protons or Neutrons. The atomic mass is therefore determined from the number of protons and neutrons. It is often called the mass number (#). Mass # (Atomic Mass) = # of Protons + # of Neutrons.Since atoms of an element always have the same number of protons, isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom (no charge) is equal to the number of protons (atomic #). Atoms may either gain or lose electrons during chemical interactions with other atoms. If they gain electrons they become negatively charged, if they lose electrons they become positively charged. We term these charged atoms ions.

AssignmentComponents of the atomNaming compoundsCovalent compounds- (contain nonmetal atoms combining with other nonmetal atoms)Electrons are shared between atomsTo Name:The first atom is named in full The second atoms name is shortened and -ide added. The prefixes below are added to the first and second name to indicate the number of atoms present in the compounds. The prefix mono is typically not placed on the first atoms name.

Hydrocarbons (straight chained)

Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen. (ex. CnH2n)To Name:The first part of the name is a prefix that indicates the number of carbon atoms. The prefixes are the same as those used by Binary Molecular compounds above except for the first four. These four are:

# of Carbon AtomsPrefixes1meth -2eth -3prop -4but - The second part of the name is a suffix that describes if the compound contains single bonds, a double or a triple bond between the carbon atoms. The following table illustrates the naming and gives examples.

Mole TheoryDefinition: The mole is defined as the atomic or molecular weight of a substance expressed in grams. It is a metric unit for amount of substance and has the abbreviation mol or nOne mole of a substance then is the atomic weight of the element expressed in grams.The number of particles in this amount is termed Avogadro's Number and has been estimated at 6.023* 10 23 particles. Whenever we have Avogadro's number of particles in a sample we have one mole.

To give you a sense of it's size, imagine that each particle in a mole was a piece of paper. If we were to stack this paper one sheet on top of another, a mole of paper would stretch from the surface of the earth to the planet PlutoGram molecular weight (Molar Mass)

To calculate the gram molecular weight of a substance made up of more than one element (compound), we add up the atomic weights of the elements that comprised the compound. Atomic weights are listed in the periodic table.

The mole has three values that can be used to do calculations with the mole. They are:mass volume (one mole in the gas state at 0 C and 100 kPa.(called standard temperature and pressure STP = 24.5 L.) # of particles

Word and formula equations

1. Two types of equations are written by chemists:word equations: describe the substances that react in a chemical reaction (termed reactants), and the products that are formed, along with their states formula equations are a shorthand method used to describe the same reactions. These are of two types: Skeleton equations: (unbalanced) which lists the correct formula of each reacting substance and product substances, and their states. Balanced equations: which list the correct formulas, states and balances the equation for the number of atoms present. That is it takes into account the Law of Conservation of Mass, and makes sure there is the same number and type of atom in the reactant and product. In Chemistry 30 we should only use balanced equations.

We balance equations by changing the coefficients or numbers in front of the substance. WE NEVER CHANGE THE FORMULAS OF SUBSTANCES IN ORDER TO BALANCE. Counting the atoms correctly is therefore critical. The balance (coefficient) we use is always multiplied by the subscripts used in each formula, to indicate how many atoms are represented. If atoms are in two different reactant or product compounds, they are added together to determine how many are present in total.

Determine the # of atoms of each type present in the following reactants.

Balancing equations is basically a process of trial and error, called inspection, but a few hints can help.1. Balance atoms that appear only once in reactant and product first, and atoms that appear more than once last.Example #1:

ReactantProduct___C3H8 (g)+ ___O2 (g)___CO2 (g) + ___H2O (g)Step 1Balance atoms that appear only once first (C and H )_1_C3H8 (g)+ ___O2 (g)_3_CO2 (g) + _4_H2O (g)Step 2Balance atoms that appear more than once last (O)_1_C3H8 (g)+ _5_O2 (g)_3_CO2 (g) + _4_H2O (g)

Balance polyatomic ions as a group, for example SO4 2- ion. Caution: The ion must remain the same in reactant and product.Example #2:

ReactantProduct___Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + ___Na3PO4 (aq)___Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + ___NaNO3 (aq)Step 1Balance atoms that appear only once ( Ca , Na )_3__Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + ___Na3PO4 (aq)___Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + _3__NaNO3 (aq)Step 2Balance atoms in ions as groups (PO4 ; NO3 )_3__Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + _2__Na3PO4 (aq)_1__Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + _6__NaNO3 (aq)

In some cases the # of atoms of an element in the reactants may be odd, while the # in the products will always be even (due to a even subscript). In this case you need to double the balance of all atoms already balanced and continue the balancing.Example #3:

Reactant Product___CuFeS2 (s) + ___O2 (g)___Cu (s) + ___FeO (s) + ___SO2 (g)Step 1Balance atoms that appear only once first_1_CuFeS2 (s) + ___O2 (g)_1_Cu (s) + _1_FeO (s) + _2_SO2 (g)Step 2Balance oxygen now. Notice that there is five atoms in the products but the reactants will always be even. To balance, double all balances already made. Now continue by balancing the oxygen _2_CuFeS2 (s) + _5_O2 (g)_2_Cu (s) + _2_FeO (s) + _4_SO2 (g)

StoichiometryChemical reactions are like the recipe for the cookies. The balances in the equations are mole recipes that tell us the # of moles that react and form. Example:

Notice that all of the values in the table are in the same ratio as the balance in the equation. C3H8 : O2 is always 1 : 5, CO2 : H2O is always 3: 4 . We call these ratios, equation factors or mole ratio. The reactants and products in this equation always react and form in these

The following technique can be used to predict the # of moles that will react or form in an equation.Identify the given (known) number of moles. Identify the balance of the known. Identify the balance of the substance you wish to find (unknown)Multiply.

Mass to massWe can use a simple 3 step method to solve stoichiometric questions with balanced equations.Identify the given and convert it to moles. Identify the unknown, and multiply the given number of moles by the mole ratio to produce moles of desired substance.Convert moles of desired substance to the units asked for in the question.
