Please read the summary of each topic before answering the questions that follow in each chapter and check your answers in the packer. A good understanding of these topics will help you in further topics. Enjoy working on your summer packet. Have a wonderful summer!!! Thank you 1 Introduction: Matter and Measurement ​ Most of this material was probably learned in first-year chemistry. Quickly review the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures. The separation of mixtures based on their physical properties is important and so are SI units for measurement. Significant figures and dimensional analysis are also introduced here. Pay particular attention to these sections: 1.2 Classification of Matter 1.3 Properties of Matter 1.4 Units of Measurement 1.5 Uncertainty in Measurement 1.6 Dimensional Analysis Classification of Matter Section 1.2 Matter is classified as pure substances or mixtures. ​ Pure substances are either elements or compounds. ​ An element is a substance all of whose atoms contain the same number of protons. ​ ​ A compound is a relatively stable combination of two or more chemically bonded ​ ​ elements in a specific ratio. Mixtures consist of two or more substances. ​ Homogeneous mixtures are uniform throughout. Air, sea water and a nickel coin ​ (a mixture of copper and nickel metals called an alloy) are examples. Heterogeneous mixtures vary in texture and appearance throughout the sample. ​ Rocks, wood, polluted air and muddy water are examples. 2 Section 1.3 Properties of Matter Physical properties can be measured without changing the identity or ​ composition of the substance.

  • The Periodic Table and Periodicity
    The Periodic Table and Periodicity Department of Chemistry The Open University of Sri Lanka Published by The Open University of Sri Lanka 2015 1 1. The Periodic Table Introduction In this lesson, we will discuss the classification of elements in the Periodic Table. The Periodic Table helps us in the prediction of the properties of new compounds by comparison of the properties of known compounds. The modern Periodic Table is an arrangement of all the chemical elements in the order of increasing atomic number with elements having similar properties (i.e. of the same chemical family) in the same vertical column. In this session, we will learn about the group numbers, s, p, d and f blocks, and the electronic configuration. Some physical properties of elements such as atomic and ionic sizes/radii, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, melting and boiling points will be discussed in the next lesson. First of all we will briefly look at the history of the development of the Periodic Table. 1.1 Brief history of the development of the Periodic Table In the early 19th century many new elements were being discovered and chemists were looking for similarities between these new elements and the existing elements. Dobereiner (1829) suggested that elements could be grouped in three (triads), in which each member of the triad shows similar properties. e.g.: Lithium, sodium, potassium, Calcium, strontium, barium Chlorine, bromine, iodine Dobereiner7 Newlands (1863) arranged the elements in the order of increasing relative atomic mass. He noticed that there was some similarity between every eighth elements (octet rule).

  • Element of the Day
    Element of the Day Tungsten, also known as wolfram (wuul­frәm), is a chemical element with the chemical W symbol W and atomic number 74. The word tungsten comes from the Swedish language tung sten directly translatable to heavy stone. A hard, rare metal under standard conditions when uncombined, tungsten is found naturally on Earth only in chemical compounds. It was identified as a new element in 1781, and first isolated as a metal in 1783. The free element is remarkable for its robustness, especially the fact that it has the highest melting point of all the non­alloyed metals. Also remarkable is its high density of 19.3 times that of water. The unalloyed elemental form is used mainly in electrical applications. Tungsten's many alloys have numerous applications, most notably in incandescent light bulb filaments, X­ ray tubes (as both the filament and target), and superalloys. Tungsten compounds are most often used industrially as catalysts. Question: If tungsten is used as the cathode of a galvanic cell, then is it being oxidized or reduced? 1 Chemistry 1.

  • History of Metals
    Aluminium Aluminium or aluminum is a silvery white and ductile member of the boron group of chemical elements. It has the symbol Al ; its atomic number is 13. It is not soluble in water under normal circumstances. Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, and the third most abundant element therein, after oxygen and silicon. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth’s solid surface. Aluminium is too reactive chemically to occur in nature as a free metal. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals.[4] The chief source of aluminium is bauxite ore. Aluminium is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation and for the metal's low density. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in other areas of transportation and building. Its reactive nature makes it useful as a catalyst or additive in chemical mixtures, including being used in ammonium nitrate explosives to enhance blast power. Aluminium alloys Aluminium alloys are mixtures of aluminium with other metals (called an alloy), often with copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or magnesium. They are much lighter and more corrosion resistant than plain carbon steel, but not as corrosion resistant as pure aluminium. Bare aluminium alloy surfaces will keep their apparent shine in a dry environment due to the formation of a clear, protective oxide layer. Galvanic corrosion can be rapid when aluminium alloy is placed in electrical contact with stainless steel, or other metals with a more negative corrosion potential than the aluminium alloy, in a wet environment.
