Chemistry 101

Dr. Lucio Gelmini Room 5-132A [email protected] 497-5813 http://academic.macewan.ca/gelminil Nuclear Atom Components of matter • Element – simplest type of substance with a unique identity (physical and chemical properties) – one type of atom – may be single atoms or molecules

Components of matter

• Compound – two or more different types of atoms – behave as a unit – chemically combined – unique physical and chemical identity • Mixture – two or more different types of elements and/or compounds physically intermingled Example of element vs. compound

• Some properties of sodium, chlorine, and sodium chloride Elements combine by • Transferring electrons from an atom of one element to an atom of a different element TYPE OF COMPOUND FORMED? (ionic compound formation).

• Sharing electrons between atoms TYPE OF COMPOUND FORMED? (covalent compound formation). Bonding

Electrons involved (outer) not the nuclei in bonding Atom Identity • Atom identity is determined by #p+ in the nucleus (Z) • Isotope identity is determined by #n0 (A = Z + N) – Charge based on number of electrons e-

Ion formation – ionic compounds • Atoms can gain or lose electrons – Lose: + ion = cation #p+ > #e- – Gain: − ion = anion #p+ > #e -

• If an atom forms an ion…

– Metals typically form cations (lose e-) – Nonmetals typically form anions (gain e-)

Ion formation – ionic compounds

Metals: lose #e- = A column number - Nonmetals: gain #e = 8 − A column number

Example ions • What monatomic ions would the following elements most likely form?

– sodium (column 1) → Na+

– chlorine (column 17) → Cl-

– barium (column 2) → Ba2+

– nitrogen (column 15) → N3-

Electron transfer • Electron transfer involves – loss and gain of e- – called oxidation and reduction, respectively (“redox”) Ionic bonding and ionic compounds NaCl = Na+Cl- • Oppositely charged ions: – attract each other

– pair up in whole number ratios NaCl →zero overall charge – compounds are “ionic”

• Examples: 2+ - CaF2 Ca F → 1(+2) + 2(−1) = 0

2+ 3- Ba3N2 Ba N → 3(+2) + 2(−3) = 0 + 2- K2OK O → 2(+1) + 1(−2) = 0

Differences between ionic and covalent bonding • Ionic substances are not molecular. – Exist as arrays of oppositely charge ions stabilized by ionic bonding (crystalline lattice)

– No discrete units – ions are attracted to oppositely charged counterparts

– “Formula unit” – lowest whole-number ratio that balances charges to zero

• Covalent substances are molecular. – Discrete “units” of bonded atoms exist (“molecules”)

– Diatomic – 2 atoms O2, N2, CO,…

– Tri atomic – 3 atoms O3, NO 2,H 2O…

– Poly atomic – > 2 or 3 atoms CH4, H 2O2,C 4H 10,…

– Diatomic and polyatomic ions exist - - + 2- OH , NO3 , NH4 , SO4 ,… − covalent bonds join atoms − group has gained or lost electrons

Some nonmetal elements exist as molecules

P4 S8 Cl2

Se8 Br2

diatomic molecules tetratomic molecules octatomic molecules Polyatomic ions • Polyatomic ions (learn them) – Contain covalently bonded atoms – Carry an overall charge – Act like ions (as a group) – Form ionic compounds

• Example 2- – Carbonate ion, CO3 – Acts like ion with −2 charge

– Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 2+ 2- cation = Ca ; anion = CO3 Compounds: formulas, names, masses

• To effectively communicate in chemical terms, a chemical language is needed

• Chemical symbols: “alphabet” • Specific combinations: “words” – Nickname = chemical formula – Full name = chemical name

• Ionic and covalent compounds have different naming rules Binary Ionic (I) compound naming • Cation named first, followed by anion name – Cation same as the name of the parent metal • sodium metal → sodium ion Na → Na+ • calcium metal → calcium ion Ca → Ca2+

– Anion uses root of the nonmetal name and adds the suffix –ide • chlorine atom → chloride ion Cl → Cl− • oxygen atom → oxide ion O → O2−

Compound examples (overall electrically neutral):

NaCl sodium chloride

CaO calcium oxide

Na2Osodium oxide

CaCl2 calcium chloride

CN- cyanide OH- hydroxide

Ionic (type II) naming with metals forming more than 1 ion

• Hint: anion helps determine charge on metal overall, charges must add up to zero

• Example.

Name ions formula 4+ − tin(IV) fluoride Sn , F SnF4 + 2− copper(I) sulfide Cu , S Cu2S 3+ 2- iron(III) oxide Fe , O Fe2O3

Binary Ionic naming with metals forming more than 1 ion

Example.

Name ions formula 2+ − MnBr2 Mn , Br manganese(II) bromide 2+ 2 − PbS Pb , S lead(II) sulfide 2+ − CuI2 Cu , I copper(II) iodide

Need to look at polyatomic ions To do that we need to know about naming acids Naming –Hydrates and Binary Covalent Compounds • Numerical (Greek) prefixes are used • Indicate number of each type of atom (or waters)

Number Prefix Number Prefix Number Prefix 1 mono 4 tetra 8 octa 2 di 5 penta 9 nona 3 tri 6 hexa 10 deca 7 hepta • Examples:

CO carbon monoxide CO2 carbon dioxide

N2O dinitrogen monoxide P2O5 diphosphorous pentoxide

SF6 sulfur hexafluoride IF5 iodine pentafluoride

Naming Molecular Compounds

• Similar to Binary ionic • More electropositive considered metal, and more electronegative atom = non metal • Various oxidation states, however, do not use roman numerals, use Greek prefix to identify number of each atoms • Only if there one “metal”atom do we drop the prefix, “non-metal”atoms always uses prefix Molecular compound naming

• For example: N2O5 • More electropositive element named first, Nitrogen • Place Greek prefix in from of it (unless only one) Dinitrogen • More electronegative element named second, Oxygen • Place Greek prefix in from of it (unless only one) Pentoxygen • Finally to designate it is a binary compound, add “ide”ending Pentoxide OVERALL: Dinitrogen Pentoxide Hydrates contain bound water

• copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4•5H2O

Heating drives off waters

2- H2Te hydrogen telluride Hydro telluric Te telluride ion acid

• OXY ACIDS (H-O-X) Look at X = halogen (group 17) X = S, Se or Te X = N or P,As X = C

Organic acids (R-COOH)

Other acids Oxoacids of Cl, Br and I

Acid Name Ion(loss H+) Name - HClO4 perchloric acid ClO4 perchlorate anion - HClO3 chloric acid ClO3 chlorate anion - HClO2 chlorous acid ClO2 chlorite anion HClO hypochlorous acid ClO- hypochlorite anion

NOTE: acidic hydrogens are generally listed 1st, not necessarily the way they bond (no H-Cl bond)

Remember: Oxoacids must have a H-O bond

HClO3 chloric acid = parent acid (often with three hydrogens)

One less oxygen →“ous” ending acid. Hence, HClO2 chlorous acid

“ic” ending acid→“ate” ending anion

“ous” ending acid→“ite” ending anion Oxoacids of Cl, Br and I

Acid Name Ion(loss H+) Name - HClO4 perchloric acid ClO4 perchlorate ion - HClO3 chloric acid ClO3 chlorate ion - HClO2 chlorous acid ClO2 chlorite acid HClO hypochlorous acid ClO- hypochlorite acid

Acid Name Ion(loss H+) Name - HlO4 BrO4 - HBrO3 lO3 - HIO2 BrO2 HBrO IO- Oxoacids of Nitrogen

• Only two: HNO3 and HNO2 parent acid higher oxidations state HNO3 has N(5+) and HNO2 has N(3+)

- HNO3 Nitric acid → NO3

Nitrate anion - HNO2 Nitrous acid → NO2 Nitrite

anion Oxoacids of P and As

• Only two:H3PO4 and H3PO3 parent acid higher oxidations state H3PO4 3 has P(5+) and H3PO3 has P(3+)

3- H3PO4 Phosphoric acid → PO4 Phosphate anion

3- H3PO3 Phosphorous acid → PO3 Phosphite anion

3- H3AsO4 Arsenic acid → AsO4 Arsenate anion 3- H3AsO 3 Arsenous acid → AsO3 arsenite anion

Oxoacids of P and As

• Loss of only 1 or 2 hydrogen ions – List number of hydrogens

- H2PO4 dihydrogen phosphate anion 2- HPO4 monohydrogen phosphate anion - H2PO3 dihydrogen phosphite anion 2- HPO3 monohydrogen phosphite anion - H2AsO4 dihydrogen arsenate anion 2- HAsO 4 monohydrogen arsenate anion - H2AsO3 dihydrogen arsenite anion 2- HAsO 3 monohydrogen arsenite anion

Oxoacids of S, Se and Te

• Only two:H2SO4 and H2SO3 parent acid higher oxidations state H2SO4 has S(6+) and H2SO3 has S(4+)

2- H2SO4 Sulfuric acid → SO4 Sulfate anion 2- H2SO 3 Sulfurous acid → SO3 Sulfite anion

2- H2SeO4 Selenic acid → SeO4 Selenate anion 2- H2SeO 3 Selenous acid → SeO3 Selenite anion

2- H2TeO4 Telluric acid → TeO4 Tellurate anion 2- H2TeO 3 Tellurous acid → TeO3 Tellurite anion

Oxoacids of S, Se and Te • Loss of one hydrogen, may list number (mono) or omit

- HSO4 (mono)hydrogen sulfate anion (bisulfate) - HSO3 (mono)hydrogen sulfite anion (bisulfite)

- HSeO4 (mono)hydrogen selenate anion - HSeO3 (mono)hydrogen selenite anion

- HTeO4 (mono)hydrogen tellurate anion - HTeO3 (mono)hydrogen tellurite anion

Oxoacids of C

• Only one important acid: H2CO3 = carbonic acid 2- Forms carbonate anion CO3

• Loss of one hydrogen, may list number (mono) or omit

- HCO3 (mono)hydrogen carbonate anion (bicarbonate)

Some consider carbonic acid as a hydrate of CO2

• Hence, H2CO3 is H2O CO2 and it is very unstable at room temperature breaking down → H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Organic Acids • Sometimes difficult to tell • Organic acids have R –COOH

Acetic acid is CH3COOH (R = CH3)

Acetic acid is sometimes given as HC 2H3O2 (acidic H listed first, shows three H atoms that will not dissociate)

Because it is an “ic” ending acid, anion is “ate”ending - Acetic acid CH3COOH →Acetate anion CH3COO

In our list of acids in the date sheet it should be apparent which are the organic acids. Oxalic Acid – a special organic acid

• Organic acids have R –COOH • Oxalic acid has R = COOH, hence HOOC-COOH

• HOOC-COOH or H2C2O4 or (COOH)2 = oxalic acid becomes - – 2- - OOC-COO or C2O4 or (COO )2 = oxalate anion

• Loss of one hydrogen, may list number (mono) or omit - - HOOC-COO or HC2O4 = (mono)hydrogen oxalate

anion Some common anions

- • Permanganate ion MnO4

2- • Chromate ion CrO4 2- • Dichromate ion Cr2O7

2- • SO4 =sulfate, replace one O-atom with S 2- S2 O3 =thiosulfate ion (thio means O→S)

• Peroxide comes from hydrogen peroxide 2- H 2O2 → loss of hydrogens→ O2 (ox. State = - 1)

• Cyanate = OCN- Thiocyanate = SCN-

Types of chemical formulas • Empirical – indicates relative number of atoms in the molecule (the simplest type of formula)

(i.e. CH is empirical formula for C2H2, C6H6 , C12H12 • Molecular – shows the actual number of atoms in the molecule

(i.e. the molecular formula for benzene is C6H6 • Structural – shows number of atoms and bonds between them (the relative placement and connections of atoms) – (i.e. hydrogen peroxide: H-O-O-H)

Different molecular representations • Acetic acid: 2 carbon atoms 4 hydrogen atoms 2 oxygen atoms Naming practice • Give the name for the following:

– K2S

– Cu 3P2

– Fe(OH) 3

– Pb(C 2H3O2)4

– IF5

– N2 O4

– XeO 2

– H2 CO3

– HNO 2 – HBr(aq)

More practice

• Give the formula and name for the ionic compound that would form with the following:

– lithium + bromine – aluminum + oxygen – strontium + nitrogen – tin(II) + nitrate – iron(III) + sulfate – chromium (III) and bromine
