Chapter 2 The Early History of Chemistry - Before 16th Century Alchemy: Attempts (scientific or otherwise) to change cheap metals into gold - 17th Century Robert Boyle: First “chemist” to perform quantitative experiments - 18th Century George Stahl: Phlogiston flows out of a burning material. Joseph Priestley: Discovers oxygen gas, “dephlogisticated air.” Law of Conservation of Mass
- Discovered by Antoine Lavoisier
- Mass is neither created nor destroyed
- Combustion involves oxygen, not phlogiston Other Fundamental Chemical Laws
Law of Definite Proportion -- Joseph Proust
- A given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.
- Carbon tetrachloride is always 1 atom carbon per 4 atoms chlorine. Other Fundamental Chemical Laws
Law of Multiple Proportions--John Dalton
- When two elements form a series of compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that combine with 1 gram of the first element can always be reduced to small whole numbers.
- The ratio of the masses of oxygen in H2O and H2O2 will be a small whole number (“2”). Dalton’s Atomic Theory (1808)
1 Each element is made up of tiny particles called atoms. 2 The atoms of a given element are identical; the atoms of different elements are different in some fundamental way or ways. Dalton’s Atomic Theory (continued)
3 Chemical compounds are formed when atoms combine with each other. A given compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms. 4 Chemical reactions involve reorganization of the atoms - changes in the way they are bound together. The atoms themselves are not changed in a chemical reaction. Avogadro’s Hypothesis (1811)
At the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gases contain the same number of particles.
5 liters of oxygen 5 liters of nitrogen Same number of particles! 02_17

The chemical symbols used today were developed by Jons Jakob Berzelius. They consist of one or two letters. The first letter is always capitalized. The second, if there is one, is never capitalized. The second letter is often a letter prominent in the pronunciation. Early Experiments to Characterize the Atom
- J. J. Thomson - postulated the existence of electrons using cathode ray tubes. - Ernest Rutherford - explained the nuclear atom, containing a dense nucleus with electrons traveling around the nucleus at a large distance. 02_21

The atom contains: - electrons - protons: found in the nucleus, they have a positive charge equal in magnitude to the electron’s negative charge. - neutrons: found in the nucleus, virtually same mass as a proton but no charge. The Mass and Charge of the Electron, Proton, and Neutron
Particle Mass (kg) Charge
Electron 9.11 10−31 1−
Proton 1.67 10−27 1+
Neutron 1.67 10−27 0 The Chemists’ Shorthand: Atomic Symbols

A = mass number ( from German Atomgewicht) Z = atomic number ( from German Zahl) N = number of neutrons

The forces that hold atoms together in compounds. Covalent bonds result from atoms sharing electrons. Molecule: a collection of covalently-bonded atoms. The Chemists’ Shorthand: Formulas Chemical Formula: Symbols = types of atoms Subscripts = relative numbers of atoms
CO2 Structural Formula: Individual bonds are shown by lines. O=C=O Ions Cation: A positive ion 2+ + Mg , NH4 Anion: A negative ion − 2− Cl , SO4 Polyatomic: an ion containing a number of covalently bonded atoms acting as a single unit.
Ionic Bonding: Force of attraction between oppositely charged ions. Cations & Anions
Cations are positive ions. Na ----> Na+ + e-
Anions are negative ions. - - Cl2 + 2e ----> 2Cl Periodic Table Elements classified by: - properties - atomic number

Metals are: 1. efficient conductors of heat and electricity. 2. malleable (Can be hammered into thin sheets). 3. ductile (Can be pulled into wires). 4. lustrous (shiny). 5. tend to lose electrons and form cations. Examples are: Na, Cu, Au, Ag, & Fe. Metalloids • substances with the properties of both metals and nonmetals. • also called semimetals • Lie along the zigzag line between metals and nonmetals • The six metalloids are: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Te. Physical Properties of Nonmetals Nonmetals are: 1. nonconductors of heat and electricity (insulators). 2. not malleable, but are brittle. 3. not ductile. 4. dull and without a luster. 5. tend to gain electrons to form anions. Examples are: H, He, N, O, S, & P. The Chemists’ Shorthand: Atomic Symbols
