Metallic Character
Most elements in the periodic table are metals
- metals lose electrons- good thermal and electrical conductors- malleable and lustrous
- non-metals gain electrons- gas, liquid, or brittle solid- poor conductors
increasing metallic character
OXIDATION STATESAtoms tend to lose or gain electrons to achieve an inert gas configuration.
Elements to the right (e.g., O, F) are electronegative gain electrons to become negatively charged (anions).
Elements to the left (e.g., Cs, Sr, Al) are electropositivelose electrons to become positively charged (cations).
NaCl Na+Cl
MgO Mg2+O2
For main group (s- and p-block) elements:The highest possible positive oxidation state is equal to the Group Number
AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Metals lose electrons to form cations in aqueous solutions (e.g, Ba2+)
Non-metals gain electrons when forming anions in solution (e.g., Br-).
Non-metals can also lose electrons to more electronegative elements, as in oxyanions:
e.g., in SO42-, oxidation states are S6+, O2-
OXIDES
Metal Oxides and Hydroxides are basic more soluble in acidic solutions.
More electropositive central atom gives off electrons (Na+ OH-)
Non-Metal Oxides and Hydroxides are acidicmore soluble in basic solutions.
More electronegative central atom attracts electrons (HNO3 NO3
- + H+)
Metalloid Oxides and Hydroxides are amphotericMore soluble in both acidic and basic solutions compared to pure water.
2nd row (Li,Be…F) vs. 3rd, 4th, 5th rowsPeriod II:Small atomsThe only valence orbitals are 2s and 2p No 2d orbitals Maximum number of bonds = 4.
CF4, NH3.Small size a greater tendency to form bonds because there is better sideways overlap of p-orbitals.
Period III: Bigger size. Valence orbitals: 3s, 3p, and 3d.
Maximum number of bonds > 4.SiF4, SiF6
2-, PCl3, and PCl5.Bigger size less tendency to form bonds because there is less overlap of p-orbitals.

HydrogenProperties
diatomic gas colorless, odorlesstasteless
most abundant element in the universe
rare in its elemental state on earth (it escapes from the atmosphere).
Common Oxidation States
0, +1, -1
Steam reforming (current method of H2 production)CH4(g) + 2 H2O(g) CO2(g) + 4 H2(g) (natural gas)
Uses Ni catalyst at 800oCCarbon monoxide (CO) is made as a byproduct.
water gas shift (converts CO at 300oC using Cu catalyst) CO(g) +H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)
Hydrogen - Sources
Other methods electrolysis of water (clean but uses too much energy)
2 H2O(l) 2 H2(g) + O2(g)
reactions of active metals (lab scale method) H2SO4(aq) + Fe(s) H2(g) + FeSO4(aq)
steam reforming of carbonC(s) + 2 H2O(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2(g)
high temperature catalytic process, coal is the source of carbon.
1H protium most abundant isotope, nucleus consists of a single proton
2H deuterium one neutron and often given the symbol “D”. forms the hydrogen component of heavy water (D2O).
3H tritium radioactive isotope: half-life of 12.3 y, not found in nature.
Isotope effects Deuterium and hydrogen exhibit isotopic differences in their reaction rates and properties.
E.g., boiling points of heavy water and conventional water are slightly different allowing them to be separated by fractional distillation.
Hydrogen Isotopes
Main use of H2 in US Haber-Bosch process N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2 NH3(g)
synthetic fertilizers: (NH3) can also be further reacted to produce nitrate (–NO3) compounds.
Other Uses: Production of methanol
CO(g) + 2H2(g) CH3OH(l)
HydrogenationCH2 CH2 CH3 CH3
converts double bonds into single bonds: unsaturated compounds like oils into saturated fats.
Hydrogen - Commercial applications
Molecular hydrides
hydrogen bonded covalently to another element.
Examples: HCl, HBr, NH3,CH4, Al2H6… exist as molecules (in gas, liq., solid)
acid strength increases from left to rightPH3 < H2S < HCl
bond strength decreases going down family H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te (least stable)
Hydrogen Compounds
Ionic Hydrides: hydrogen and an alkali metal such as lithiumExamples: NaH (=Na+H-), CaH2
strong bases, strong reducing agentsreact with water or acids to make H2
Molecular Hydrides: hydrogen and a non-metalExamples: NH3, H2O, HCl
covalent bonding
Metallic hydrides hydrogen and a transition metal. retain their metallic characteristics hydrogen atoms are absorbed into the interstices of the metal atomic lattice.

DIAGONAL RELATIONSHIPS
CHEMICALS FROM NaCl
Na metal is obtained by molten salt electrolysis of a 40:60 mixture of Na/Cl/CaCl2.
This mixture melts at 580°C vs. 800°C for pure NaCl.
Cathode: 2Na+ + 2e- 2Na (l)
Anode: 2Cl- Cl2(g) + 2e-
2Na+ + 2Cl- 2Na (l) + Cl2(g)
NaOH (caustic soda).
>20,000,000,000 pounds made anually by electrolysis of aqueous NaCl (chlor-alkali process).
Cathode: 2H2O + 2e- H2(g) + 2OH-
Anode: 2Cl- Cl2(g) + 2e-
2H2O + 2Cl- H2(g) + Cl2(g) + 2OH-
2Na+ + 2OH- (=2 NaOH) is left behind.
NaOH dissolves hair and skin (e.g., Drano).
Uses: Soap, Rayon, Cellophane, Paper, Dyes.
ALKALINE EARTHSALKALINE EARTHS
Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba compounds are ionic; hydroxides are basic.
Metals are obtained by high temperature electrolysis of their molten chlorides.
Mg metal is made in three steps from sea water:
1) Add base to sea water: Mg2+ + 2OH- Mg(OH)2(s)
2) Dissolve in HCl: Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O
3) Electrolysis: MgCl2(l) Mg(l) + Cl2(g)
Principal Uses of Mg: Light structural alloys (lighter than Al or Fe, but strong). Light alloys with Zn, Al, or Mn for aircraft wheels, space vehicles, portable tools, and cameras
BERYLLIUMRare element - 0.0005% of the earth’s crust is Be
Source: The mineral beryl is Be3Al2Si6O18 has different colors due to trace impurities if light blue-green = aquamarine if deep green = emerald

CALCIUMFifth most abundant element on earth.
CaCO3
Depending on form is limestone, marble, chalk.Bones and teeth are largely CaCO3 and Ca3(PO4)2
Tooth Enamel = Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 = Hydroxyapatite
Cavities: Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 + 8H+ 10Ca2+ + 6HPO42- + H2O
Fluoride replaces OH- with F-.F- is a weaker base, so it reacts less with acid.
CaCO3(s) + Heat CaO(s) + CO2(g) (Lime)Very important industrial chemical (steelmaking, concrete).
CALCIUM (cont’d)CaSO4 . (H2O)2 (Gypsum) is used to make cement and plaster wallboard.
2 CaSO4. (H2O)2 + Heat 3H2O + (CaSO4)2 . (H2O)
(Plaster of Paris)Reverse reaction by adding water.
BARIUMBarium is very dense.
BaSO4 is a dense, very insoluble material used as an additive to concrete in nuclear reactors. This makes the walls more dense. This also makes the walls absorb neutrons.
BaSO4 also absorbs X-rays - used by radiologists for stomach X-rays.
WATER SOFTENINGWATER SOFTENINGHard water contains dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+.
These form precipitates with soap – bath tub rings. Most detergents do not work well to remove this.Also forms deposits in water pipes.
Ca2+(aq) + 2HCO3-(aq) CaCO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O
from dissolved CO2 scale
Scale forms on the bottom of teapots, in faucets, on the walls of hot water pipes and boilers, etc.
Can be removed with acid (e.g., vinegar)
