    Periodic Table and Bonding 1. Handout: Periodic Table and Bonding Notes 2. Periodic Properties and the Development of the Periodic Table 1. The first periodic table was arranged by Dimitri Mendeleev in 1869. 1. He was a professor of Chemistry. at the University of St. Petersburg in Russia and was confronted with the problem of how to teach about the various elements known at that time. He decided to organized the elements by arranging them into groups that reacted similarly. 2. He also noticed that various properties would repeat "periodically" so he arranged a table of elements order of atomic mass such that properties would change regularly if you moved across a row while maintaining groups with similar chemical properties in a column. 3. Go to: http://www.periodic.lanl.gov/mendeleev.htm to see a version of Mendeleev's first table. 2. Groups with similar properties 1. All the elements in a group (or column) are called families. 2. Group 8: The Noble Gases, don't react with other elements. 3. Group 1: The Alkali Earth Metals, all react with water in the following manner 2 Li + H2O ---> H2 + 2 LiOH 2 Na + H2O ---> H2 + 2 NaOH ... 2 Fr + H2O ---> H2 + 2 FrOH page 1 4.

On insulating, multilayer NaCl films we control the charge state of organic molecules and resolve their structures in neutral, cationic, anionic and dianionic states by atomic force microscopy, obtaining atomic resolution and bond-order discrimination using CO functionalized tips. We detect changes in conformation, adsorption geometry and bond-order relations for azobenzene, tetracyanoquinodimethane and pentacene in multiple charge states. Moreover, for porphine we investigate the charge-state-dependent change of aromaticity and conjugation pathway in the macrocycle. This work opens the way to studying chemical-structural changes of individual molecules for a wide range of charge states. One Sentence Summary: Adsorption properties and bond-order relations of single molecules in multiple oxidation states are resolved by atomic force microscopy.

  • Learn Chemistry in an Hour
    Fascinating Education Script Learn Chemistry in an Hour Lesson: Learn Chemistry in an Hour Slide 1: Introduction Slide Slide 2: Why Chemistry first? To my way of thinking, chemistry should be taught before biology, physics, and even earth science. Biology is in large part chemistry of the cell. The forces of physics stem from the forces between protons, neutrons, and electrons. Earth science makes a lot more sense once students understand how elements combined to form the earth’s crust, and how the chemical properties of each geologic structure govern the forces within the earth’s crust. In the next hour or so we will cover the fundamental key to chemistry, which is this: there are about 100 different types of atoms in the world. Atoms bond to other atoms to make molecules, but they only use four different ways to bond to each other. Each of the four bonds produces a characteristic property in the molecule. So, by understanding the four bonds, you understand why water at room temperature is liquid, why oil and water don’t mix, why metals are shiny, and so on. The rest of chemistry that we’ll touch on is how to measure the number, mass, volume, pressure, and temperature of molecules, what happens when you change one of these variables, and how molecules swap atoms in chemical reactions. If you’re a parent, this lesson will enable you to follow -- and even guide -- your child’s progress through chemistry. If you’re a student, the next hour will give you a heads up and a head start.

The first system is focused on the structure and reactivity of a novel osmium silylyne compounds featuring an Os≡Si triple bond. NMR simulation confirmed the existence of this compounds and bonding analysis like NBO and ETS-NOCV proved its triple bond character. The structures of the [2+2] cyclo-addition product from silylyne and other small molecules (PhC≡CPh and P≡CtBu) were also determined from possible isomers by energetic results and NMR simulations. The cycloaddition reactions were found to be under kinetic control and steric effects should be a major reason for that. Furthermore, the geometric and electronic structures of the osmium silylyne analogues (M≡E, M = Ru and Os; E = Si, Ge and Sn) are studied computationally and their similarities and distinctions are discussed. Both the second and third systems are related to the formation of transition metal imido compound (M=NR). In the second system a cationic oxorhenium(V) complex reacts with a series of arylazides (N3Ar) to give cationic cis-rhenium(VII) oxo imido complexes.

With the help of natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses, the second order perturbation energies of the most interacting natural bond orbitals and natural atomic charges have been predicted by the density functional theory (DFT) computations at the X3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory. The natural charge calculations showed that in the ionic liquid-CO2 system, the [DBBIM][TFMSO3] ionic liquid is the electron donor while CO2 gas is an electron acceptor. Further stabilization of the imidazolium ring π-system is produced due to the interaction of the CO2 gas with the ionic liquid. The polarization of the C–O and S1–O3 bonds are affected significantly by such interactions. The charge decomposition (CDA) analysis revealed the strong interactions between the [DBBIM]+ and – [TFMSO3] ions of the ionic liquid and the weak interaction between the ionic liquid and the CO2 gas.
