Chapter 3Achemical bonds- what holds compounds together-bonds can be ionic or molecular/covalentchemical formula- shows the kinds and number of
each element in a compoundex- H2O CO2 H3PO4
structural formula- uses lines to show bondsex- OO ═ C ═ O
H H
empirical formula- gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound
-lowest whole number ratiomolecular formula- gives the actual number of
atoms of each element in a compoundex- hydrogen peroxideH2O2
emp. = HO (H and O in a 1:1 ratio)mol. = H2O2
page 87 Ex 3.1 and FP 3.1
atomic elements- exist in nature as single atoms-almost all the elements can exist as atoms-called monatomic
molecular elements- cannot exist in nature as one atom, cannot exist alone
-exist as moleculesH O N Cℓ Br I F-called diatomic
Ions- particles with a charge (+ or -), they have either lost or gained electrons
-in ions # of p+ ≠ # of e-
cation-ion with a positive charge-loses electrons-metallic elements lose electrons-look at Group # to get the charge for Groups 1A
to 3A
ex- sodium Na1+ or Na+1 or Na+
aluminum Aℓ3+
-sodium lost 1e-, aluminum lost 3 e-
**Most cations of the transition metals have more than one charge
-these will need to be given to youex- Pb4+ lost 4e-
-a few have only one chargeAg1+ Zn2+ Cd2+
-silver lost 1e-, zinc and cadmium each lost 2e-
anions-ion with a negative charge-gains electrons-non-metallic elements gain electrons-look at Group # - 8 to get the charge ex- chlorine Cℓ1-
arsenic As3-
-chlorine gained 1e-
-arsenic gained 3e-
*Group 4 elements do not generally form ions, Group 8 do not b/c they are inert
Naming IonsCations-name is the same as the element with the word ion-back to examplessodium ion aluminum ion lead (IV) ionAnions-drop ending and add –ide and the word ion-back to examples-chloride ion-arsenide ion
Try these!!-name the ion/tell if it is a cation or anion-tell the charge on the ion-tell how e- the ion has lost or gainedSr I Ca KP B S
polyatomic ions- made up or two or more atoms that carry a charge
*most names end in –ite or –ate
Ionic Compounds-compounds composed of cations and anions-made up of a metal (cation) and a non-metal
(anion)-usually solid crystals at room temp-have high melting points-are electrically neutral because # of p+ = # of e-
ex- NaCℓ KI Ca3N2
formula unit- chemical formula for an ionic compound
Molecular Compounds-made up of two or more non-metalsBinary Molecular Compounds-made up of two non-metalsEx- CO, CO2, CCℓ4
-to name molecular compounds you use prefixes
Prefix # (subscript)mono- 1di- 2tri- 3tetra- 4penta- 5hexa- 6hepta- 7octa- 8nona- 9deca- 10
Naming Molecular Compounds-look at subscript of each element and give each
element a prefix-if first element has a 1 as the subscript, then it
does not get a prefix (omit mono-)-second element gets prefix and ends in –ide-if element begins with a vowel, drop the vowel
at the end of a prefix **when writing formulas for molecular
compounds you DO NOT reduce subscripts
Try these!!carbon monoxide carbon tetrachloridesulfur trioxide tetriodine nonoxidephosphorus pentafluoride
N2O PCℓ3 SF6 OF2
CℓO8 NF3 S2Cℓ2 N2O4
Acids-acids are compounds dissolved in water-will have (aq) after the formula which means
aqueous or dissolved in water-always begin with hydrogen (H)Ex- HCℓ H2SO4 H3PO3
Naming Acids-you must look at what follows the hydrogen
-if it is a single element (ends in –ide), then you use prefix hydro-, root of the element, -ic ending and the word acid
ex- HCℓhydrochloric acid-if what follows hydrogen ends in –ite, you just
add –ous ending to root of the polyatomic ion and add acid
ex- H3PO3
phosphorous acid
-if what follows hydrogen ends in –ate, you just add –ic ending to root of the polyatomic ion and add acid
ex- H2SO4
sulfuric acidTry these!!HI H2S H2CO3
H2SO3 HNO2 HCℓO3
Chemical Equationsreactants productsreactant- starting substance in a chemical
reactionproduct- substance formed in a chemical
reaction= yields, gives you, produces, goes to**Law of Conservation of Mass holds true here
mass of reactants = mass of products
-the states of matter can be indicated after the substance
(s)=solid (ℓ)=liquid (g)=gas (aq)=aqueous= reversible reaction
catalyst- substance that speeds up the rate of a reaction without being used up in the reaction
**written above the arrowex- Pt ∆ = heat applied
**Remember H O N Cℓ Br I Fskeleton equation- chemical equation that is not
balancedex- Write a skeleton for the following reaction:solid iron reacts with oxygen to form solid iron
(III) oxide Fe + O2 Fe2O3
Try these:1) solid sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with
hydrochloric acid to produce aqueous sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide
2) solid sulfur burns in oxygen to form sulfur dioxide
3) solid potassium chlorate forms oxygen and solid potassium chloride in the presence of catalyst manganese(II) oxide
Answers1)NaHCO3(s) + HCℓ(aq) NaCℓ(aq) + H2O (ℓ)
+ CO2(g)
2) S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g)
3) KCℓO3(s) MnO O2(g) + KCℓ(s)
Balancing Equations-each side of the equation (reactants and
products) must have the same # of each element
-some may already be balanced-must be lowest whole # ratio-balance by putting coefficients in front of
compounds
Types of Chemical Reactions1) Combination/Synthesis Reaction-two or more substances combine to form a
single substancereactants- two elements or two compoundsproducts- always a compoundex- 2K + Cℓ2 2KCℓex- SO2 + H2O H2SO3

3) Single-Replacement Reactions-one element replaces a second element in a
compoundex- 2K + CaO K2O + Ca-whether one metal will replace another metal is
determined by reactivity of the metal
activity series of metals- lists metals in order of decreasing reactivity
ex- Mg + Zn(NO3)2 *is Mg above Zn on the reactivity series?Mg + Zn(NO3)2 Mg(NO3)2 + Zn
ex- Mg + Ag2SO4 Mg + Ag2SO4 MgSO4 + 2Ag
ex- Mg + LiNO3 -lithium is above magnesiumMg + LiNO3 no reaction
