Language of Chemistry Logic of Inorganic Reactions 1 SECTION - I VALENCY/OXIDATION NUMBER/BALANCING EQUATIONS Modern Definition of Valency Valency is the power of an atom of an element to combine with other atoms measured by the number of electrons which an atom or radical will lose, gain or share to form a chemical compound. Types of Valences: (i)Electrovalency( shown in ionic compounds eg. NaCl, K2SO4 etc) (ii)Covalency (shown in covalent compounds eg SO2, NH3, H2SO4 etc) Electrovalency Radicals: Radical is an atom or a group of atoms which form an ion (positive or negative) by loss or gain of electrons. It is part of an ionic compound. Two radicals form a compound. Types of Radicals: (i)Basic Radical: This forms the +ve ion or cation part of the compound. Usually + + 2+ 3+ + 2+ 3+ + + metals e.g Na , K , Ca , Al , Ag , Hg , Fe etc. (exception: NH4 , H ). This part comes from a base. (ii)Acid Radical: This forms the –ve ion or anion part of the compound. Usually it is made up of nonmetals. Some acid radicals contain both metal and nonmetal atoms. (i)monoatomic acid radical: Cl–, Br–, S2-, O2-, N3-, P3-, H– etc 2- 3- 2- 2- – – – (ii)Compound acid radical : SO4 , PO4 , CO3 , SO3 , OH , NO2 , NO3 – 2- – etc. (exceptions: MnO4 , CrO4 , AlO2 etc which contain both metal and non-metal) Charge of Basic Radical = + valency of the radical, Charge of Acid Radical = - velency of the radical Task: Write the ionic representations of the following radicals: Al, Fe(ous), Cu(ic), Sn(ous), NH4, Br, O, SO4, NO2, MnO4, Cr2O7, C, N, PO4 Definition of Electrovalency: Electrovalency is the number of electrons lost or gained (not shared)by a radical. The valency tables(table 1 and 2) given later are electrovalencies. IMPORTANT: In fact all the radicals listed in table 1 under basic radicals are positive ions which are formed by the loss of electron(s). Likewise all the radicals listed in table 2 under acid radicals are negative ions which are formed by the gain of electrons. The basic and acid radicals are never to be considered as neutral species. Na is a metal which is neutral. But Na as a radical is present in a compound like NaCl. Here Na is not neutral although we conventionally write as Na. Actually it is Na+. Similarly iron(Fe) is a metal which is neutral. But Fe as a radical is present in compounds in two forms i.e ferrous(eg. ferrous sulphate) in which it remains as Fe++ or Fe2+ ions and the other ferric( e.g ferric sulphate) in which +++ 3+ it remains as Fe or Fe ions. Similarly chlorine as a gas is neutral and has formula Cl2. But Cl as a radical(chloride) present in any compound like NaCl is actually not Cl, instead it is Cl– (a -ve ion). Conclusion: All basic radicals form +ve ions and all acid radical form -ve ions. The magnitude of charge is equal to the valency of the radical. Dr. S. S.Tripathy 2 Concepts in Chemistry Covalency : The number of electrons which an atom shares in forming a covalent bond with other atoms in a molecule or ion is called the covalency of the atom. There is nothing called covalency of a group of atoms(radical) like that we learnt in electrovalency(sulfate, carbonate etc.). Covalency is determined for an atom in a covalent molecule or ion. This type of valencies are found in binary covalent compounds like PCl5, NH3, CO2 etc. and covalent ions 2- - like SO4 , NO3 etc. The details on covalency will be discussed later. In compound like aluminium sulphate there are two types of valencies- electrovalency between 3+ 2- 2- Al and SO4 and covalency within S and O atoms in forming SO4 . Similarly in compound like Na2CO3 the valency of Na and CO3 are 1+ and 2- respectively while in CO32- the valency of C is 4 as it is sharing four of its elelctrons with the three oxygen atoms. Note that each covalent bond is made up of two electrons contributed one each by the the two linking atoms. 2- O Na CO + 2 3 Na + CO3 ; C (covalency of C=4) electrovalency O O Note that both electrovalency and covalency are expressed by a single term called Oxidation Number(ON) or Oxidation State(OS). The only difference between valency and ON is that there is a sign in ON(+ve and -ve) while there no sign in valency. These things will be made more clear in later sections. CHEMICAL FORMULAE Molecular Formula: A molecular formula is a concise way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound. It identifies each type of element by its chemical symbol and identifies the number of atoms of such element to be found in each individual molecule of the compound. The number of atoms(if greater than one) is indicated as a subscript. Molecular formula is valid for covalent molecular substances like CO2, NH3, H2SO4, N2O5 etc. which exist in the form of discrete molecules. Empirical Formula: Empirical formula of a compound is a simple expression of the relative number of each type of atom or ratio of the atoms of different elements present in it. Empirical formula is valid for non-molecular substances which remain as network solids. All ionic compounds like NaCl, CaSO4, KNO3 etc. and a few covalent network solids like SiO2 fall into this category of non-molecular substances. In any ionic compound, say for example NaCl, there is no individual NaCl molecule. Na+ and Cl- ions are arranged alternately in a repeated manner in three dimension to form a gigantic network. In such cases molecular formula cannot be known rather their empirical formula which gives a simple ratio of the elements present in the compound can be known. Dr. S. S.Tripathy Logic of Inorganic Reactions 3 Crossover Rule: While writing chemical formula of an ionic compound, valency of basic and acid radicals are crisscrossed. In other words the valency of basic radical becomes the subscript of acid radical and vice versa. The following examples will suffice. 32 Al (SO ) Al (SO4) 2 4 3 2 2 Zn (CO3) ZnCO3 Note that parenthesis is used for a compound radical which contains more than one element such as CO3, SO4 etc. only when there is any subscript associated with it. In the first example, parenthesis is used for SO4 but not in the second example for CO3. For monoatomic radicals containing one element such as Al, Cl, O etc parenthesis is not used even if there is a coefficient [e.g. AlCl3 and not Al(Cl)3] Question arises why does this crisscrossing of valencies are done? This is done to equalise the total positive and negative charge as the molecule is neutral i.e net charge of the molecule should be zero. 2- SO4 3+ Al 2- SO4 3+ Al 3 2 2- SO4 Al (SO4) Al2(SO4)3 The hollows(depressions) in the above picture of the basic radical is the site from which electrons have been lost and the mount(bulging out) portions in the acid radical are the sites at which electron have been accepted. There must be a complete matching between the hollows with the mounts. In aluminium sulphate, there are two Al3+ ions, so the total +ve charge is 2 X (+3) = +6; and 2- that is why there are three SO4 ions, so that the total -ve charge is 3 X (-2) = -6. In zinc 2+ 2- carbonate, one Zn ion has +2 charge and one CO3 ion has -2 charge and thus the charge balance occurs. While writing formula for such compounds in which the valencies of acid and basic radicals are same or are simple multiples of each other, then the valencies are simplified. In zinc carbonate the valency 2 for each radical get cancelled while writing the formula. In cupric ferrocyanide, the valencies get simplified by dividing with a factor 2. Hence to conclude, empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of basic and acid radicals. 4 2 2 2 4 Cu [Fe(CN)6] Cu [Fe(CN) ] Cu [Fe(CN)6] 2 6 IMPORTANT: In ionic compounds the formula we talk of are empirical formula not molecular formula. Dr. S. S.Tripathy 4 Concepts in Chemistry VALENCY TABLES AND FORMULA WRITING TIPS The formula writing is the most vital part in the study of chemical sciences. Unless and until you write formula correctly it is not worthwhile to proceed further. So practise adequately to master over it. Students often neglect this part of chemistry and become permanently weak in the subject. You should not try to cram the valencies of different basic and acid parts(radicals) given in the tables below rather just read them and practise writing formulae of compounds for a large number of times. Check them yourself and know your mistakes. Within a few days of regular practice and self check, these will automatically be stored in your memory. No special effort will be necessary for the purpose.

Chemistry is a highly rigorous course that covers most of the material that would be covered in a first year college chemistry course. It is intended for students who are highly motivated to accept the challenge of a college course at the high school level and have demonstrated a willingness to commit considerable time to studying and completing assignments outside of class. The topics to be covered extensively over the summer are provided as test review questions and are usually included in the first 3 chapters of most textbooks used for Honors or AP Chemistry. These chapters are Chapter 1 (Matter and Measurement), Chapter 2 (Atoms, Molecules, and Ions), and Chapter 3 (Stoichiometry). If you have an Honors Chemistry textbook then you may reference that. If you do not then I have posted a pdf version of another textbook used in other AP Chemistry classes on Google Classroom. You must email Ms. Morrissey for the class code to join the Google Classroom. You may also use notes from your previous chemistry class or any reputable online resources. The list of test review questions have been provided to help you focus your review this summer. I highly suggest you utilize this list as your first assessment will be on these topics/calculations. I will also provide additional resources on Google Classroom for you to fully prepare/practice topics that normally require it such as applying sig figs, nomenclature, and all calculations.

  • Oxides: Naming and Use
    Oxides: naming and use Oxides: naming and use Lesson plan (Polish) Lesson plan (English) Oxides: naming and use Link to the lesson Before you start you should know the properties of oxygen; the use of oxygen; how to define combustion; how to write the synthesis reaction of metal and non‐metal oxides; what oxides are and how they are produced; examples of oxides. You will learn to name oxides; to correctly write molecular and structural formulas of selected metal and non‐metal oxides basing on their names; to name the oxide basing on its molecular formula; to indicate those oxides that can be found in nature; what the uses of oxides are; to describe the physical properties of selected oxides (e.g. calcium oxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxides, carbon oxides, silicon dioxide, sulfur oxides). Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie dźwiękowe abstraktu Naming of oxides Oxides are binary compounds with oxygen where the oxidation state of oxygen is O-II. Oxygen in chemical compounds is always divalent. Other elements may have different valency number and form one or more oxides (alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, fluoride have only valence of 1). In the names of oxides, the word “oxide” must be preceded by the name of the element that binds to oxygen. The name is composed of the cation name and the word oxide. Examples: Na2O sodium oxide CaO calcium oxide SnO tin(II) oxide or stannous oxide SnO2 tin(IV) oxid Oxides of non‐metals are named by stating the name of the element first, followed by the word oxide.

  • Appendix A: Chemical Nomenclature
    BUILDING CHEMISTRY – LABORATORY SESSIONS APPENDIX A: CHEMICAL NOMENCLATURE Chemical elements are substances which contain atoms that have the same atomic number (number of protons in the atomic nucleus). Each element is described by an international UIPAC name and corresponding symbol. The combination of two or more atoms results in the formation of compounds. Their chemical formulae are always composed of symbols of the elements which the compound contains and indices which indicate the number of corresponding atoms of a given element. E.g. H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) is a compound that contains 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 atom of sulphur and 4 oxygen atoms in its molecule. If an element or a group of elements bears an electric charge we call them ions. The charge of an ion is represented by a superscript just after the chemical formula. Positively charged ions + 2+ 2+ 3+ + – – 2– (Na , Ca , Fe , Fe , NH4 ) are called cations and negatively charged ions (Cl , CN , S , 2– SO3 ) are anions. The nomenclature of inorganic compounds is based on the oxidation states of elements. The oxidation state is an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound. The formal oxidation state is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic. Oxidation states can be positive, negative, or zero. It should be remembered that the oxidation state of an atom does not represent the "real" charge on that atom: this is particularly true for high oxidation states, where the ionisation energy required to produce a multiple positive ion is far greater than the energies available in chemical reactions.

  • Chemistry Senior 4
    CHEMISTRY SENIOR 4 Student's book Kigali, January 2019 Copyright © 2019 Rwanda Education Board All rights reserved. This book is the property of Rwanda Education Board. ii Chemistry Senior Four Student's Book FOREWORD Dear Student, Rwanda Education Board is honoured to present to you this Chemistry Book for Senior four which serves as a guide to competence-based teaching and learning to ensure consistency and coherence in the learning of chemistry subject. The Rwandan educational philosophy is to ensure that you achieve full potential at every level of education which will prepare you to be well integrated in society and exploit employment opportunities. The government of Rwanda emphasizes the importance of aligning teaching and learning materials with the syllabus to facilitate your learning process. Many factors influence what you learn, how well you learn and the competences you acquire. Those factors include the instructional materials available among others.
