EXPERIMENT AND EXPLANATION
Consider the following:

On the first day of school, you get in your car and turn the key on the ignition,
but nothing happens. What could be the problem?
The Scientific Method

1. Perform experiments and record observations on system
2. Analyze the data, and propose a hypothesis to explain observations
3. Conduct additional experiments to test hypothesis. If initial hypothesis holds
up to extensive testing, the hypothesis becomes a theory.
theory: a tested qualitative explanation of basic natural phenomena
If all or part of the hypothesis does not hold up to testing, then it is adjusted or
a new hypothesis is proposed to explain the observations.
law: a simple statement or mathematical equation about a fundamental
relationship

1.5 MEASUREMENT AND SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

measurement: a number with attached units
When a measurement is recorded, all the numbers known with certainty are
given along with the last number, which is estimated. All the digits are significant
because removing any of the digits changes the measurement's uncertainty.

Guidelines for Sig Figs (if measurement is given):
Count the number of digits in a measurement from left to right:
1. When there is a decimal point:
For measurements greater than 1, count all the digits (even zeros).
62.4 cm has 3 sig figs, 5.0 m has 2 sig figs, 186.000 g has 6 s.f.
For measurements less than 1, start with the first nonzero digit and
count all digits (even zeros) after it.
0.011 mL and 0.00022 kg each have 2 sig figs
2. When there is no decimal point:
Count all non-zero digits and zeros between non-zero digits
125 g has 3 sig figs, 107 mL has 3 sig figs

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
Some numbers are very large or very small difficult to express.
For example,
Avogadros number = 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
an electrons mass = 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 91 kg
Also, it's not clear how many sig figs there are in some measurements.
For example,
Express 100.0 g to 3 sig figs:
___________
Express 100.0 g to 2 sig figs:
___________
Express 100.0 g to 1 sig fig:
___________
To handle such numbers, we use a system called scientific notation.

All numbers can be expressed in the form:
where
N 10n
N =digit term= a number between 1 and 10, so there can only

be one number to the left of the decimal point: #.####
n = an exponent = a positive or a negative integer (whole #).
To express a number in scientific notation:

Count the number of places you must move the decimal point to get N
between 1 and 10.
Moving decimal point to the right (if # < 1) negative exponent.
Moving decimal point to the left (if # > 1) positive exponent.
CHM 151: Chapter 1

ROUNDING OFF NONSIGNIFICANT DIGITS

How do we eliminate nonsignificant digits?
If first nonsignificant digit < 5, just drop ALL nonsignificant digits
If first nonsignificant digit 5, raise the last sig digit by 1 then
drop ALL nonsignificant digits
For example, express 72.58643 with 3 sig figs:
last significant digit
72.58643 g
first nonsignificant digit
72.58643
to 3 sig figs

ADDING/SUBTRACTING MEASUREMENTS
When adding and subtracting measurements, your final value is limited by
measurement with the largest uncertaintyi.e. the number with the fewest
decimal places.
Ex 1: 106.61 + 0.25 + 0.195 = 107.055
107.055 to the correct number of sig figs: _______________
Ex 2:
725.50 103 = 622.50

622.50 to the correct # of sig figs: ____________________
MULTIPLYING/DIVIDING MEASUREMENTS
When multiplying or dividing measurements, the final value is limited by the
measurement with the least number of significant figures.
Ex 1: 106.61 0.25 0.195 = 5.1972375
5.1972375 to the correct # of sig figs: ________________
Ex 2: 106.61 91.5 = 9754.815
w/ correct sig figs: _______________
MULTIPLYING/DIVIDING WITH EXPONENTIAL NUMBERS:

When multiplying or dividing measurements with exponents, use the digit term (N
in N 10n) to determine number of sig figs.

Thus, the answer with the correct sig figs = ________________________

Be sure you can do exponential calculations with your calculator. Many of
the calculations we do in chemistry involve very large and very small
numbers with exponential terms.
Ex. 2:(3.75 1015)(8.6 104) = 3.225 1020
with the correct sig figs: ___________________
Ex. 3: (3.75 1015) (8.605 104) = 4.357931435 1010
with the correct sig figs: ___________________
EXACT NUMBERS
Although measurements can never be exact, we can count an exact number of
items. For example, we can count exactly how many students are present in a
classroom, how many M&Ms are in a bowl, how many apples in a barrel.
1.8 UNITS AND DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (FACTOR-LABEL METHOD)

UNIT EQUATIONS AND UNIT FACTORS
Unit equation: Simple statement of two equivalent values
Unit conversion factor = unit factor = equivalents:
- Ratio of two equivalent quantities
Unit equation
1 dollar = 10 dimes
CHM 151: Chapter 1
Unit factor
10 dimes
1 dollar
or
1 dollar
10 dimes
page 6
Equivalents are exact if we can count the number of units equal to another
or the units are in the same system (metric or English). For example, the
following unit factors and unit equations are exact:
365 days
1 year
7 days
1 week
12 inches
1 foot
and
1 yard 3 feet
Exact equivalents have an infinite number of sig figs

never limit number of sig figs!
Note: When the relationship between two units or items is exact, the
(meaning equals exactly) is used instead of the basic = sign.
Other equivalents are inexact or approximate because they are

measurements or approximate relationships, such as
1.61 km
1 mile
65 mi
hour
speed of light =
3.00 108 m
s
Approximate equivalents do limit the sig figs for the final answer.
UNIT (DIMENSIONAL) ANALYSIS PROBLEM SOLVING

1. Write the units for the answer.
2. Determine what information to start with.
3. Arrange all other unit factorsshowing them as fractionswith correct
units in the numerator and denominator, so all units cancel except for
the units needed for the final answer.
4. Check for correct units and number of sig figs in the final answer.

Ex. 1
In Europe, temperature is generally reported in the Celsius scale. A

European tourist asks you how hot it is. What is the equivalent Celsius
temperature if on that cool Summer day its only 95F?
Kelvin Temperature Scale

There is a third scale for measuring temperature: the Kelvin scale.
The unit for temperature in the Kelvin scale is Kelvin (K, NOT K!).
The Kelvin scale assigns a value of zero kelvins (0 K) to the lowest possible
temperature, which we call absolute zero and corresponds to 273.15C.
(The term absolute zero is used because this is the theoretical lowest limit.)
Conversion between C and K:
K = C + 273.15
C = K 273.15
Ex. 1
The average temperature in Reykjavik, Iceland during the summer is

about 15C. What is the equivalent Kelvin temperature? What is the
equivalent Fahrenheit temperature?
Ex. 2
In the movie Terminator 2, a tanker crashes and pours out liquid nitrogen.
This freezes the T-1000 because liquid nitrogen has a temperature of 77 K.
What is the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius?

DERIVED UNITS
Volume: Amount of space occupied by a solid, gas, or liquid.

measured using graduated cylinder, a buret, a pipet, a volumetric flask, etc.
generally in units of liters (L), milliliters (mL), or cubic centimeters (cm3)
Know the following:
1 L 1 dm3
1 mL 1 cm3
These are both exact!
DETERMINING VOLUME
Volume is determined in three principal ways:
1. Volume of any liquid can be measured directly using calibrated glassware
(graduated cylinder, pipets, burets, etc.)
2. Volume of a solid with a regular shape (rectangular, cylindrical,
uniformly spherical or cubic, etc.) can be determined by calculation.
e.g. volume of rectangular solid = length x width x thickness
3. Volume of an irregular solid is found indirectly by the amount of liquid it
displaces. This technique is called volume by displacement.
Volume By Displacement
a. Fill a graduated cylinder halfway with water, and record the initial volume.
b. Carefully place the object into the graduated cylinder so as not to splash
or lose water.
c. Record the final volume.
d. Volume of object = final volume initial volume
CHM 151: Chapter 1

density: The amount of mass in a unit volume of matter

density =
mass
volume
or
m
V
generally in units of g/cm3 or g/mL
For water: 1.00 g of water occupies a volume of 1.00 cm3

d=
m
1.00 g

V 1.00 cm
Applying Density as a Unit Factor

Given the density for any matter, you can always write two unit factors. For
example, the density of ice is 0.917 g/cm3.
Two unit factors would be:
0.917 g
cm 3
or
cm 3
0.917 g
Ex. 1 Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. What is the mass of a piece of
aluminum with a volume of 0.525 cm3?
Ex. 2 Ethanol is used in alcoholic beverages and has a density of 0.789 g/mL. What
volume of ethanol (in liters) would have a mass of 500.0 mg?
CHM 151: Chapter 1

Ex. 3 A piece of silver metal weighing 194.3 g is placed in a graduated cylinder

containing 242.0 mL of water. The volume of water now reads 260.5 mL.
Calculate the density of silver.

CONSERVATION OF MASS
matter: anything that has mass and volume

mass: A measure of the amount of matter an object possesses.
measured with a balance and NOT AFFECTED by gravity
MASS WEIGHT = MASS x Acceleration due to gravity
Mass is not affected by gravity!
EARTH
mass = 68 kg
weight = 150 lbs
MOON
mass = 68 kg
weight = 25 lbs
SPACE
mass = 68 kg
weight = 0 lbs
law of conservation of mass: Matter is neither created nor destroyed

reaction (rxn):
REACTANTS (starting materials)

(substances before rxn)
PRODUCTS
(substances after rxn)
Mass of the product(s) in a reaction must = mass of the reactant(s)!
For example:
Example:
CHM 151: Chapter 1
11 g hydrogen + 89 g oxygen = 100 g water

A 95-g sample of sodium chloride, NaCl, contains 58 g
of chlorine. Determine the mass of sodium in the sample.

MATTER: PHYSICAL STATE AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
Matter exists in one of three physical states: solid, liquid, gas (See Fig. 1.11)
solid:
Has definite shape, fixed volume

At molecular level, particles are packed closely, in a fixed position
liquid: Fixed volume, but shape can changetakes shape of container

Particles are packed closely together but can move past each other
gas (or vapor):
Volume is variable, particles are widely spaced

If volume expands, particles move apart
If volume decreases, particles, move closer together
Takes shape of container
ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS, AND MIXTURES

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Properties:
physical state (solid, liquid, gas)
color
density
melting and boiling points
electrical & heat conductivity

solubility
hardness
odor
Chemical Properties: how a substance reacts with other substances
PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL CHANGES

physical change:
a process that does not alter the chemical composition of a substance
eg. changing shape, changing physical state, dissolving
eg. boiling water, melting ice, hammering gold into foil
chemical change or reaction:
a process that changes the chemical composition (and thus the chemical
formula) of starting materials (reactants)
eg. oxidation of matter (burning or rusting)
release of gas bubbles (fizzing)
formation of insoluble solid (precipitation)
release of heat or light
CHM 151: Chapter 1
page 16
pure substances:
Matter having constant composition, definite and consistent properties
Two types of pure substances:
elements:
consist of only one type of atom
cannot be broken down by chemical reaction
eg. carbon (C), hydrogen (H2), sulfur (S8), copper wire (Cu)
compounds:
consist of more than one type of atom and has a specific formula
can be broken down by chemical reaction
eg. ethanol (C2H5OH)can be broken down to C, H, & O
Two or more pure substances can combine to form mixtures:
mixtures:
consist of various compounds and/or elements, with no specific formula
Matter having variable composition with either definite or varying
properties depending on the sample
can be broken down into individual components
eg. Any alloy like brass, steel, 10-K to 18-K gold;
course mixtures like sea water, carbonated soda, salt and iron
fillings; air consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen gases
Also, be able to identify elements, compounds, and mixtures given images at the
atomic/molecular level. (See Concept Check 1.1 on p. 14)

ATOMIC THEORY OF MATTER
Postulate from John Daltons Model of the Atom

1. All matter is composed of indivisible atoms.
2. An element is composed of only one type of atom
All atoms of one type of element always behave the same way.
Atoms of different elements do not behave the same way.
3. Two or more elements combine to form compounds.
law of constant composition: A compound always has the same
elements in the same proportion by mass
i.e. a compound always has the same formula
law of multiple proportions: Two elements can combine to form different
compounds (e.g. C and O can combine to form CO and CO2), and the
masses of each element for each compound are always in a fixed ratio
(because always whole #s of atoms of each element)
4. A chemical reaction involves only the separation, combination, or
rearrangement of atomsNEVER their creation or destruction.
This is also called the law of conservation of mass.
Ex. 1:
If 2.50 g of iron powder react with 1.44 g of yellow sulfur powder,

what is the mass of the iron sulfide product?
Ex. 2:
If 10.11 g of limestone (calcium carbonate) decomposes with heat to

8.51 g of calcium oxide and CO2 gas, what mass of CO2 is produced?

THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM
Discovery of the Electron

J. J. Thomson (1897)
demonstrated that cathode rays are composed of tiny, negatively
charged subatomic particles electrons (e)
Eugen Goldstein (late 1880s)
canal rays are composed of positively charged subatomic particle
protons (p+)
And decades later:
James Chadwick (1935), Nobel Prize winner for his discovery
neutron (n) = neutral subatomic particle
Nuclear Model of the Atom
Ernest Rutherford's Alpha-Scattering Experiment (Figure 2.8)
Alpha () particles shot at a thin gold foil
A detector set up around the foil to determine what happens to the particles
Most of a particles went straight through, some deflected, a few bounced back
Rutherfords interpretation of the scattering experiment results
Most alpha () particles pass through foil
Atom is mostly empty space with electrons moving around the space
Some particles deflected or bounce back
Atom must also contain a dense region, and particles colliding with this
region are deflected or bounce back towards source
region = atomic nucleus (contains atoms protons and neutrons)
Why this is called the Nuclear Model of the Atom
Rutherford also estimated the size of the atom and its nucleus:
nucleus (d~10-15 m)
atom (diameter ~10-10 m)
If nucleus = size of a small marble, then atom BankOne Ballpark!

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE; ISOTOPES
Nuclide Symbol (also called Atomic Notation):

shorthand for keeping track of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
atomic number (Z): whole number of p+ = number of e in neutral atom
mass number (A): whole number sum of protons and neutrons in an atom
Note electrons contribute almost no mass to an atom
mass number=A
atomic number=Z
E element symbol
Ex. 1:
Write the atomic notation for carbon-14. How many neutrons are in
each neutral carbon-14 atom?
Ex. 2:
Write the atomic notation for uranium-235 (Z=92). How many neutrons
are in each neutral uranium-235 atom?
Isotopes
Each element always has the same number of protons, but the number of
neutrons may vary. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are called
isotopes.
e.g. Carbon exists as carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 where each
carbon atom has 6 protons but 6, 7, or 8 neutrons
Isotopes are identified with an element name followed by the mass number
eg. uranium-235 (U-235), carbon-12 (C-12), cobalt-60 (Co-60), etc.

2.4
ATOMIC WEIGHTS
Atoms are too small to weigh directly

eg. one carbon atom has a mass of 1.99 x 10-23 gtoo inconvenient!
need more convenient unit for mass
atomic mass unit (amu)
Carbon-12 was chosen and given a mass value of 12 amu
1 amu = 1/12 the mass of carbon-12
Mass of all other atoms measured relative to mass of carbon-12
Average Atomic Mass of an Element
The mass of carbon on the Per. Table is 12.01 amu, NOT 12.00 amuWHY?!
Atomic masses reported on the Periodic Table are weighted averages of all
naturally occurring isotopes for each element.
Ex. 1 If 98.89% of carbon exists as carbon-12, which has a mass of
12.00000, while 1.11% exists as carbon-13, which has a mass of
13.00335, calculate the average atomic mass for carbon.
average atomic mass = (0.9889)(12.00000 amu) + (0.0111)(13.00335 amu)
= ____________________
Ex. 2 The atomic masses of the two stable isotopes for boron, B-10
(19.78%) and B-11 (80.22%), are 10.0129 amu and 11.0093 amu,
respectively. Calculate the average atomic mass for boron.

PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS
A vertical column is called a group or family.

Elements belonging to the same group exhibit similar chemical properties
e.g. Li, Na, and K all react vigorously with water; He, Ne, and Ar do not
react with any other substances
A horizontal row is called a period or series.
page 4
Main-Group (Representative or A Group) Elements

Those elements in groups 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 (or IA to VIIIA)
Group 1 or IA: alkali metals
Group 2 or IIA: alkaline earth metals
Group 17 or VIIA: halogens
Group 18 or VIIIA: noble gases (because they are all unreactive gases)
Transition Metals (or B Group Elements)
Elements in Groups 3 to 12 (middle of the Periodic Table)
Dimitri Mendeleev proposed that elements display recurring properties
according to increasing atomic mass
first Periodic Table arranged elements according to increasing atomic mass
H.G.J. Moseleys high-energy X-ray radiation experiments of atomic nuclei
Repeating properties of elements more clearly reflected by the
arrangement of elements according to increasing atomic number
Periodic Tables arrangement today
Trends for increasing atomic mass are identical with those for increasing
atomic number, except for Ni & Co, Ar & K, Te & I.
NAMES & SYMBOLS OF THE ELEMENTS

Every element has an individual name, symbol, and number.
Convention for writing chemical symbols
Use first letter (capitalized) of element name: hydrogen H, carbon C
If symbol already used, include second letter (in lower case) of name:
helium He, calcium Ca, cobalt Co
Some symbols come from Latin names
lead=plumbum Pb
gold= shining dawn=aurum Au
Know the first 56 elements of the periodic table, as well as lead (Pb) and
uranium (U) for Exam #1. You will be given a periodic table with only the
symbols written. Spelling counts!

SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, AND GASES

KNOW the physical state of each element!
In their natural state under room temperature conditions:
Only mercury (Hg) and bromine (Br) are liquid
H, N, O, F, Cl, and all Noble gases (group VIIIA) are gases
All other elements are solids
METALS, NONMETALS, & METALLOIDS (or SEMIMETALS)

metals
shiny appearance
malleable, ductile
conduct heat & electricity
react with nonmetals
e.g. aluminum, copper, gold
nonmetals
dull appearance
brittle
nonconductor
react with metals and nonmetals
e.g. carbon, oxygen, sulfur
metalloids (or semimetals): Have properties of metals and nonmetals

Organization of the nonmetals, semimetals, metals on the Periodic Table
Nonmetals (except H) are concentrated on the top-right of the Periodic Table
Semimetals are along the stair-step
All remaining elements are metals
Diatomic Molecules: consist of two atoms

Recognize that some elements exist as diatomic molecules
H2, O2, N2, Cl2, F2, I2, Br2
These are often called the magic seven since there are seven of them, and
six of them form a 7 on the periodic table

CHEMICAL FORMULAS: MOLECULAR AND IONIC SUBSTANCES
molecule: a compound of two or more nonmetal atoms, which are held together
by covalent bond
A molecular formula indicates how many atoms are actually present
e.g. in water, H2O, there are 2 H atoms and 1 O atom
page 6
chemical formulas:
Symbolically express the number of atoms of each element in a compound
Number of atoms is indicated by a subscript following the elements symbol
(If there is no subscript, only one atom of that element is in the compound.)
Some chemical formulas use parentheses
more than one of that subunit present in the compound
e.g. C2H4(OH)2 has 2 C, 6 H, and 2 O
Example: How many atoms of each element are in TNT: C7H5(NO2)3?
___ C atoms, ___ H atoms, ___ N atom, ___ O atoms
IONIC SUBSTANCES
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form charged particles called ions.
Metals lose es
positively charged ions = cations
Nonmetals gain es,
negatively charged ions = anions
Main-group elements generally form ions--i.e. gain or lose electrons--to get the
same number of electrons as a noble gas
Ions from representative metals are usually isoelectronic withi.e. have the
same number of electrons asone of the noble gases!
Charges shown as superscripts
Group IA elements +1 charge: Li+, Na+, K+, etc. (+ = +1)
Group IIA elements +2 charge: Mg+2, Ca+2, Sr+2, Ba+2,etc.
Group IIIA elements +3 charge: Al+3
Group IVA elements +4 charge: Sn+4, Pb+4
Group VA elements 3 charge: N3, P3
Group VIA elements 2 charge: O2, S2, Se2
Group VIIA elements 1 charge: F, Cl, Br, I,etc.
monoatomic ions: from a single atom (eg Na+, Cl, O2)
polyatomic ions: from 2 or more atoms (eg. OH, MnO4, SO42)
page 7
ionic compound: a compound composed of a metal + nonmetal(s), which

are held together by an ionic bond (electrostatic attraction)
An ionic compound is actually a network of ions, with each cation surrounded
by anions, and vice versa. A 2-dimensional slice would look like this:
Why ionic compounds have the highest melting points compared to

other substances
to melt the crystal solid, all the bonds between ions have to be broken
formula unit: simplest unit of an ionic compound--e.g. NaCl, Fe2O3, Fe2(SO4)3
represent the ratio of ions present in the compound, not the
actual number of ions
NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS

CATIONS: positively charged ions
Metal atoms lose valence electrons to form cations.
I. Groups IA, IIA, IIIA elements, silver (Ag), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) form
only one type of ion each:
Group IA elements +1 charge always (e.g. Li+=lithium ion)
Group IIA elements +2 charge always (e.g. Mg+2=magnesium ion)
Group IIIA elements +3 charge always (e.g. Al+3=aluminum ion)

metals that form more than one ion:
+2
+3
e.g. iron (Fe), a transition metal, forms 2 different ions: Fe and Fe ,
+2
+4
e.g. lead (Pb), in Group IVA, forms 2 different ions: Pb and Pb
When a metal can form more than one ion, each ion is named:
element name (charge in Roman numerals) + ion

WRITING CHEMICAL FORMULAS

formulas of compounds:
Cation + anion symbols and number of each
Compounds should be neutral +ve charges = -ve charge

Simple techniques for writing chemical formulas:
1. If both ions have charges that are exactly opposite (+1 & -1, 2+ & -2, etc.),
formula contains one of each (This also applies for polyatomic ions.)
Na+ + Cl NaCl
and
Na+ + CN NaCN
K+ + Cl ___________
K+ + NO3 ___________
Mg2+ + O2 ___________
Mg2+ + SO42 ___________
Al3+ + N3 ___________

3.2 The Mole Concept

Avogadros Number (NA) = 6.02 x 1023 (to 3 sig figs)
1 mole (abbreviated mol) = 6.02 x 1023 entities
Similar to: 1 dozen = 12 entities:
1 dozen doughnuts = 12 doughnuts
1 mole of doughnuts = 6.02 x 1023 doughnuts
How many eggs are in 3 dozen eggs? ___________________
How many eggs are in 3 moles of eggs?
How many C atoms are in 3 mol of C atoms?
Atomic weights and molar masses:

The mass of 1 C atom (on average) is 12.01 amu
The mass of 1 mole of C atoms is 12.01 g (or 12.01 g/mol)
1 mole (6.02 x 1023) is the amount of atoms of any element
that has a mass in grams equal to the mass of ONE atom in amu.
The atomic masses reported for each element in the Periodic Table gives
the atomic weight (or molecular/formula weight for compounds)
in amu and the molar mass in g/mol.
Ex.
What is the molar mass for each of the following?

(Use the atomic masses reported for each in the Periodic Table.)
a. Mg
c. Ar
b. Si
d. Sn
CHEM 151 Chapter 3

Molar mass (MM): Mass in grams of 1 mole of any element/compound

To obtain, multiply the molar mass of each element by the number of each
present, then add up all the constituent parts.
Ex. Determine the molar mass of each of the following compounds:
a. O 2:
2 (molar mass of O) = 2 (16.00 g/mol) = 32.00 g/mol
b. H3PO4:

Mass Percentages from the Formula
mass percentage:
The mass of one element in a compound divided by

the mass of the entire compound
Steps to determine percentage composition:

1. Calculate the mass of each individual element in the compound
2. Add up all the masses of each element to get the total mass of compound
3. Divide the mass of each individual element with the total mass of
compound
Ex. 1 What is the percent composition of C and O in CO2?
Ex. 2 What is the percent composition of Fe and O in rust, Fe2O3?
Ex. 3 What is the mass of iron in 5.00 g of rust?

Elemental Analysis; Percentages of Carbon, Hydrogen, &

Oxygen
When a hydrocarbon (i.e. a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen)

or a hydrocarbon derivative (containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) is
burned, the products are carbon dioxide and steam:
CxHyOz (g) +
O2 (g)
CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
Thus, if you have an unknown hydrocarbon is burned, we can use the amount
of carbon dioxide and steam formed to determine the mass percentage of
carbon and hydrogen in the original hydrocarbon.
What to keep in mind:
1. All the C in the CO2 came from original compound
mass of C in the CO2 equals mass of C present in the original compound
2. All the H in the H2O came from original compound
mass of H in the H2O equals mass of H present in the original compound
3. If there is O in the original compound:
mass of O in original = mass of original mass of C mass of H
4. Divide the mass of each component by the mass of the compound to get the
mass percentage
Ex. 1 Combustion of an 11.5-mg sample of ethanol produces 22.0 mg of CO2
and 13.5 mg of H2O. What is the mass percentage of carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen in ethanol?
CHEM 151 Chapter 3
page 5 of 14
Ex. 2 Cumene is a hydrocarboni.e., it contains only carbon and hydrogen,

and it is used in the production of acetone and phenol. Combustion of
47.6 mg of cumene produces 156.8 mg of CO2 and 42.8 mg of water.
Calculate the mass percentage of carbon and hydrogen in cumene.

Determining Formulas
Empirical Formula: Simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound

Molecular Formula: Chemical formula of a compound that expresses the
actual number of atoms present in one molecule.
The molecular formula will either be exactly the
same as or some multiple of the empirical formula!

What is the molecular formula of benzene, C6H6? __________
What is the empirical formula of ascorbic acid, C6H8O6? _____________
What is the molecular formula of ascorbic acid, C6H8O6? ____________
Guidelines for Determining the Empirical Formula of a Compound
1. Find the # mols of each element in the compound
2. Divide each # mols of each element by smallest # mols to get ratio of
atoms
3. Get a whole number ratio for all atoms in the compound:
If within 0.1 of a whole number, round to that whole number
If any ratio ends close to .5 multiply ALL subscripts by 2
If any ratio ends close to .33 or .66 multiply ALL subscripts by 3

Ex. 1: Determine the empirical formula for iron oxide if a sample of iron oxide
consists of 3.497 g of Fe and 1.503 g of O?
Determining Molecular Formula

1. Follow the same steps for determining empirical formula.
2. For the Molecular Formula, you need to be given the molar mass of the
compound. Find the molar mass of the empirical formula.
3. Divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of the
empirical formula to get the factor with which to multiply each subscript in
the empirical formula.
Ex. 2: Acetylene is a hydrocarbon, a compound that consists only of carbon
and hydrogen. A 4.500-g sample of acetylene was analzyed and found
to contain 4.151 g of carbon. If acetylene has a molar mass of
26.0 g/mol, determine both the empirical formula and the molecular
formula for acetylene.

page 7 of 14
Empirical and Molecular Formulas from Percent Composition:

1. Assume 100.0 g of the compound change percentages to grams!
2. Follow the same steps for determining empirical formula.
3. Divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of the
empirical formula to get the factor with which to multiply each subscript in
the empirical formula.
Ex. 3: Quinine is used as an antimalarial drug. An analysis of quinine
Indicates the compound consists of 74.03% carbon, 7.47% hydrogen,
8.64% nitrogen, and 9.86% oxygen. If quinine's molar mass is
325 g/mol, determine the empirical and molecular formulas for quinine.

3.8 LIMITING REACTANT (LIMITING REAGENT)

In practice, reactants will not always be present in the exact amounts necessary
for all reactants to be converted completely into products.
Only in a limited supply of the some reactants (usually the more expensive) are
present, so these are completely used up
limiting reagent(s) since they limit the amount of product that can be
made
Some reactants (usually the least expensive) are present in larger amounts and
are never complete used up
reactant(s) in excess
GUIDELINES FOR SOLVING LIMITING REAGENT PROBLEMS:

1. Calculate the mass of any product that can be made from each reactant
Use mass-mass or mass-volume conversions
2. Whichever reactant produces the smaller amount of product
limiting reagent
3. All other reactant(s) reactant in excess

ACID-BASE (NEUTRALIZATION) REACTIONS:
Arrhenius Definitions:
acid: A substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water
Some acids are monoprotic (release only H+ per molecule)
e.g. HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4
Some acids are polyprotic (release more than on H+ per molecule)
e.g. H2SO4 and H2CO3 are both diprotic, H3PO4 is triprotic
base: A substance that releases hydroxide ions (OH) when dissolved in water
In an acid-base reaction,
Hydrogen ions (H+) from acid react with the hydroxide ions (OH) from base
water, H2O
The cation (M+) from the base combines with the anion from the acid (X)
the salt.
A general equation for an acid-base neutralization reaction is shown below:
HX (aq) + MOH (aq)
acid
H2O (l) + MX (aq)
base
water
salt
Because water is always produced, an acid always reacts with a base!

Ex. 1 Complete and balance each of the equations below:

HCl (aq) +
b.
H2SO4 (aq) +
KOH (aq)
c.

page 3 of 18
Brnsted-Lowry Definitions:
acid: A substance that donates a proton (H+)
base: A substance that accepts a proton (H+)
It need not contain hydroxide ion (OH).
According to Brnsted-Lowry, an acid-base reaction simply involves a
proton transfer, not necessarily the formation of water and a salt.
Consider the following acid-base reaction:
HCl (aq)
NH3 (aq) NH4+ (aq)
B-L acid
Cl (aq)
B-L base
Ex. 1 Indicate the Brnsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following:
a.
NH3 (aq)
b.
NH3 (aq)
H2O (l)
NH4+ (aq)
HNO3 (l) NH4+ (aq)
OH (aq)
NO3 (aq)
Acid-Base Reactions with Gas Formation

Some acid-base reactions involve the formation of carbon dioxide gas, CO2
(g), in addition to water and a salt.
When the base contain carbonate ion (CO32) or hydrogen carbonate ion
(HCO3), then the products of the acid-base reaction are water, carbon
dioxide gas, and a salt.
The general equations for the unbalanced acid-base reactions are below:
HX (aq) + MCO3 (aq)
acid
base
HX (aq) + MHCO3 (aq)

These substances dissociate to produce many ions in water
many ions present to move electrons/conduct electricity

4.2 MOLECULAR AND IONIC EQUATIONS

molecular equation:
chemical equation showing reactants and products

are compounds
total/complete ionic equation:

shows strong electrolytes as individual ions while all solids, liquids, gases,
and weak electrolytes remain intact as compounds
spectator ions: ions that do not form solids, liquids, gases, or weak
electrolytes
appear on both sides of total ionic equation as ions
net ionic equations: shows only solids, liquids, gases, weak electrolytes
(weak acids and weak bases), and ions undergoing
reaction
excludes spectator ions
Guidelines for Writing Net Ionic Equations

1. Balance the chemical equation.
2. Convert the molecular equation to total ionic equation
Leave solids, liquids, gases, and weak acids and bases as compounds
Break down strong acids, strong bases, all aqueous saltsshow as (aq)
3. Cancel spectator ions to get net ionic equation
If canceling spectator ions eliminates all ions NO REACTION (NR)
If coefficients can be simplified, do so to get the lowest ratio.
4. Make sure total charges (+ve and ve) are equal on both sides of equation.
Write the net ionic equation for each of the following:

OXIDATION NUMBERS: actual or hypothetical charge of an atom in a

compound if it existed as a monatomic ion
Guidelines for Assigning Oxidation Numbers
1. The oxidation number of an element in its natural form is 0.
e.g. the oxidation number is zero for each element in H2, O2, Cl2, P4, Na, etc.
2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion is the charge on the ion.
e.g. the oxidation number of Na in Na+ is +1; the oxidation number of N in
N3 is -3; the oxidation numbers for Al2O3 are +3 for Al and 2 in O.
3. In a compound or polyatomic ion,
Group I elements are always +1.
Group II elements are always +2.
Fluorine is always 1.
Oxygen is usually 2 (except in the peroxide ion, O22, when O is 1)
Hydrogen is usually +1
(except when it is with a metal, like NaH or CaH2, then it is 1)
4. In a compound, the sum of all oxidation numbers must equal 0.
In a polyatomic ion, the sum of all oxidation numbers must equal charge.
Example: Determine the oxidation number for each element in the following:
a. H2SO4: H: _____, S: _____, O: _____
b. KClO3: K: _____, Cl: _____, O: _____
c. CaCr2O7: Ca: _____, Cr: _____, O: _____
d. C2O42: C: _____, O: _____
e. Ni(OH)2: Ni: _____, O: _____, H: _____
Oxidation: lose electrons (oxidation number goes up)
Reduction: gain electrons (oxidation number goes down)
In a redox reaction
One reactant Loses Electrons/is Oxidized (LEO)
Another reactant Gains Electrons/is Reduced (GER)
An easy way to remember is LEO the lion goes GER!
The element or reactant that is oxidized is the reducing agent.
The element or reactant that is reduced is the oxidizing agent.

For each of the following reactions,

1. Balance the equation.
2. Identify the reactant that is oxidized and the reactant that is reduced.
3. Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE PHYSICAL STATES OF MATTER

At "normal atmospheric conditions" (25C and 1 atm)
Elements that are gases: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, ozone (O3), all noble gases
No ionic compounds exist as gases
Some molecules are gases (CO, CO2, HCl, NH3, CH4); most are solids or liquids
Physical characteristics of gases
Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers
Gases are the most compressible of the states of matter
Gases will mix evenly and completely when confined to the same container
Gases have much lower densities than liquids and solids; in units of g/L
5.1
GAS PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT

Because gas molecules are in constant motion, gases exert pressure on
any surface they encounter
Atmospheric Pressure:
pressure exerted by column of air on an area exposed to Earth's
atmosphere
depends on location, temperature, and weather conditions
decreases as altitude increases because air becomes thinner
! About 760 mmHg at sea level
barometer: instrument that measures atmospheric pressure
Units of Pressure
Standard Atmospheric Pressure (1 atm): 760 mmHg at 0C at sea level
1 atm ! " 760 mmHg " 760 torr = 101.325 kPa
Ex. 1: If the atmospheric pressure is measured to be 725 mmHg on a given
day in Phoenix, express this atmospheric pressure in torr, atm, and
kPa.

5.2 EMPIRICAL GAS LAWS

Boyles Law: Pressure-Volume Changes
When T and n are constant, V is indirectly proportional to pressure of the gas
Charles Law: Volume-Temperature Changes

Gay-Lussacs Law: Pressure-Temperature Changes

When V and the n are constant, P is directly proportional to the absolute T

Consider when there are changes in P,V, and T for a gas, but n and R
remain constant

The Volume-Amount Relationship: Avogadro's Law

Avogadro's Law:
At constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional
to the number of moles of gas present.
" When the reactants and products in a chemical equation are gases, we can
relate the amounts of each gas to each other in terms of a volume-to-volume
ratio, just like the mole-to-mole ratio.

5.5 GAS MIXTURES; LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURES

partial pressure: pressures of individual gas components in a mixture
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure:
total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the
gases present
PTotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + ...
Example: A mixture of gases contains nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and trace
gases. Given the following partial pressures for the gases:
P N2 = 0 .78 atm
P O2 = 0 .19 atm
P trace = 0 .05 atm
Determine the total pressure for the mixture.
Page 6 of 10
mole fraction: ratio of the number of moles of one component to sum total of all the
moles of all components
X A !"
# of moles of A
total # of moles of all gases in mixture
We can use mole fraction to calculate the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture
For system with more than many gases, the partial pressure of nth component:
Pn = Xn PTotal

KINETIC THEORY OF AN IDEAL GAS
1. Particle volume: Gas molecules are so small they occupy no volume

i.e. "points" that have mass but negligible volume
2. Particle motion: Gas molecules move in constant, random, straight-line
motion.
3. Particle attraction: Gas molecules do not attract or repel one another
i.e. they have no effect on the motion of other particles except upon collision
4. Particle collisions: Collisions are perfectly elastic
i.e. energy totally transferred from one molecule to another, and overall
energy of the system remains the same; no energy lost to friction
5. The average kinetic energy (KE or energy of motion) of the molecule is
proportional to the temperature of the gas in Kelvins
"
at higher temperatures, gas molecules move more quickly
"
at lower temperatures, gas molecules move more slowly

Diffusion and Effusion
Diffusion: gradual mixing of molecules of one gas with molecules of another
by virtue of their kinetic properties

ends. If a sample of neon gas and a sample of fluorine gas are
injected into opposite ends of the tube at the same time, predict
where along the tube the two gases would meet. Explain why.

small opening.

kinetic energy (KE): energy associated with an objects motion

opposed to 10 inches off the ground
! Greater damage on your foot if it hit your foot after falling 10 feet than
if it hit after falling only 10 inches

6.6 MEASURING HEATS OF REACTION

Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
specific heat (s): amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1
gram of any substance by 1C; has units of J/gC
water has relatively high specific heat (4.184 J/gC)
because the earth is covered by so much water
' why temperatures on earth do not vary by large degree
page 3 of 12
heat capacity (C):
amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a

given amount of any substance by 1C; in units of J/C
molar heat capacity: heat capacity per mole of a substance (in J/molC)
Use the following equations to solve problems:
q = heat capacity ! ! T
or
q = (specific heat) ! (mass) ! ! T
where !T=change in temperature
Ex. 1.
How much heat is released by a 150.0-g sample of copper that cools

from 100.0C to 25.0C? (The molar heat capacity for copper is
24.6 J/molC)
Ex. 2
To raise the temperature from 23.5C to 100.0 C for a 15.5-g sample of

silver, 279.9 J is required. What is the specific heat of silver?
Ex. 3
A beaker with 250.1 g of water is heated from 25.0C to its boiling

point. If the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gC, how much heat is
required to heat the water?
page 4 of 12
Ex. 4 When drinking an ice-cold beverage, a person must raise the

temperature of the beverage to 37.0C (normal body temperature). One
argument for losing weight is to drink ice-cold beverages since the
body must expend about 1 calorie per gram of water per degree
Celsiusi.e. the specific heat of water = 1.00 cal/gC to consume the
drink.
a. Calculate the amount of energy expended (in cal) to consume a 12oz beer (about 355 mL) if the beer is originally at 4.0C. Assume the
drink is mostly water and its density is 1.01 g/mL.
b. If the label indicates 103 Calories (where 1 nutritional Calorie (Cal)
equal 1 kcal), what is the net calorie gain or loss when a person
consumes this beer? Is this a viable weight loss alternative?
Measurement of Heat of Reaction

calorimeter:
an instrument that measures heat changes for physical and chemical processes
insulated, so the only heat flow is between reaction system and calorimeter
Coffee-Cup Calorimeter
also called constant-pressure calorimeter since under atmospheric pressure
polystyrene cup partially filled with water
since polystyrene is good insulator, very little heat lost through cup walls
heat evolved by a reaction is absorbed by water, and the heat capacity of
calorimeter is the heat capacity of the water

Ex. 1 A 28.2 g sample of nickel is heated to 99.8C and placed in a coffee cup
calorimeter containing 150.0 g of water at 23.5C. After the metal cools,
the final temperature of metal and water is 25.0C. Calculate the specific
heat of the metal assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings or the
calorimeter.

Enthalpy and Enthalpy Change

Under constant pressure (usually the case since under atmospheric pressure),
qreaction = !H = Hproducts Hreactants

For an endothermic reaction:
! H = +ve
For an exothermic reaction:
! H = ve
Thermochemical Equations:
thermochemical equation: shows both mass and enthalpy relationships

Consider: Ice melting to form water at 0C and 1 atm
requires energy (6.01 kJ/mol)
We can represent the melting of 1 mol of ice as an equation:
H2O (s) " H2O (l)
!H = +6.01 kJ
Note: ! H is +ve since ice must absorb heat to form water

page 6 of 12
Consider: The formation of water releases heat:

2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) ! 2 H2O (g)
"H = 571.6 kJ
Note: " H is ve since heat is lost to the surroundings
Guidelines for Thermochemical Equations

1. Sign of "H indicates if reaction is exothermic ("H<0) or endothermic ("H>0).
2. The coefficients in the chemical equation represent the numbers of moles
of reactants and products for the "H given.
e.g. " H is 185 kJ for 1 mol H2 + 1 mol Cl2 to form 2 mols of HCl
3. The physical states must be indicated for each reactant and product.
e.g. For water, the solid and the liquid states vary by 6.01 kJ
4. "H generally reported for reactants and products at 25C.
6.5 APPLYING STOICHIOMETRY TO HEATS OF REACTION

Rule 1.
The magnitude of " H is directly proportional to the amount of

reactant or product.
! Consider heat as you would a reactant or product in a mole-tomole ratio, where "H is the heat released or absorbed for the
moles of reactants and products indicated in the equation
Example: Consider
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) ! 2 HCl (g)
"H = 185 kJ
a. What is "H for when 5.00 mol of hydrogen gas reacts completely?
b. What is "H for the formation of 1.00 g of hydrogen chloride gas?

calculate !Hfusion for ice (in kJ/mol)?
Rule 3: If all the coefficients in a chemical equation are multiplied by a factor n

" !H is multiplied by factor n:
If

Thus, although all matter can have wave properties, such properties are

7.3 Bohr Theory of the Hydrogen Atom

Bohr Postulates: Bohr Model of the Atom
1. Energy-level Postulate
Electrons move in discrete (quantized), circular orbits around the nucleus
"tennis ball and stairs" analogy for electrons and energy levels
a ball can bounce up to or drop from one stair to another, but it can
never be halfway between two levels
Each orbit has a specific energy associated with it, indicated as n=1, 2,...
ground state or ground level (n = 1): lowest energy state for atom
!when the electron is in most stable orbit
excited state: when the electron is in a higher energy orbit (n = 2,3,4,...)
page 4 of 6
2. Transitions Between Energy Levels

When the atom absorbs energy, an electron can jump from a lower energy
level to a higher energy level.
When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower energy level,
the atom releases energy, sometimes in the form of visible light.
Atomic Line Spectra
Emission Spectra: continuous or line spectra of radiation emitted by substances
a heated solid (e.g. the filament in an incandescent light bulb) emits light that can be
spread out to give a continuous spectrum = spectrum containing all
wavelengths of light, like a rainbow
an atom in the gas phase emits light only at specific wavelengths = line spectrum
each element has a unique line spectrum ! !!can be used to identify
unknown atoms in chemical analysis
why line spectrum for each element called "atomic fingerprint"
Limitations of the Bohr Model ! Quantum Mechanical Model

Unfortunately, the Bohr Model failed for all other elements that had more than one
proton and one electron. (The multiple electron-nuclear attractions, electronelectron repulsions, and nuclear repulsions make other atoms much more
complicated than hydrogen.)
In 1920s, a new discipline, quantum mechanics, was developed to describe the
motion of submicroscopic particles confined to tiny regions of space.
Quantum mechanics makes no attempt to specify the position of a small particle
at a given instant or how the electron got there
It only gives the probability of finding small particles
Just like taking snapshot of a location and estimating where greatest
number of people are likely to be
! Instead we take a snapshot of the atom at different times and see
where the electrons are usually found (See. Figs. 7.24, 7.26)
Erwin Schrdinger (1926)
developed a differential equation that allows us to find the electron's wave
" ), which ultimately allows us to determine the probability of finding
function ("
the electron in a given place
probability density for an electron is called the "electron cloud"
! !shape
Quantum Numbers, Energy Levels, and Orbitals
4 quantum numbers describe distribution and behavior of electrons in atoms
Each wave function corresponds to a set of 3 quantum numbers and is referred
to as an atomic orbital
page 5 of 6
We will only discuss the first 2 Quantum Numbers:

First (or Principal) Quantum Number (n): n=1,2,3,...
relates the average distance of electron from nucleus
higher n means electron is further from nucleus and higher energy (less
stable) orbital
Second (or Angular Momentum) Quantum Number (l);
! Sublevels (s, p, d, f)
gives the "shape" of the electron clouds associated with each orbital
The limitations on n and l
! ! for n=1, only 1s sublevel
! ! for n=2, only 2s and 2p sublevels
! ! for n=3, there are 3s, 3p, and 3d sublevels
! ! for n=4, there are 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f sublevels
Atomic Orbital Shapes:
s orbital: spherical (see Fig. 7.25)
p orbitals:
dumbbell-shaped (see Fig. 7.26)
only for n=2 or greater
3 types: px, py, pz (where x, y, and z give axis on which orbital aligns)
d orbitals:
various shapes (see Fig. 7.27)
5 types: dxy, dxz, dyz, d x 2 " y 2 , dz2
f orbitals: Dont worry about these.
The interesting part...

Consider Fig. 7.26 showing the electron distribution for the 2px orbital.
Note that the electron is never along the y-axis. There is a node in that
region, indicating the electron is never found there.
! !How can the electron be on either side of the y-axis without going through it?

8.2
Building-Up Principle and the Periodic Table
Electrons are distributed in orbitals of increasing energy levels, where the

lowest energy orbitals are filled first.
Once an orbital has the maximum number of electrons it can hold, it is
considered filled. Remaining electrons must then be placed into the next
highest energy orbital, and so on.
Parking garage analogy
Orbitals in order of increasing energy:
1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s < 5d < 6p

Exceptions to the Building-Up Principle

Atoms gain extra stability when their d subshells are half-filled or completely
filled.
! If we can fill or half-fill a d subshell by promoting an electron from an s orbital
to a d orbital, we do so to gain the extra stability.

8.3 Writing Electron Configurations Using the Periodic Table
Electron Configuration from the Periodic Table
The Periodic Table's shape actually corresponds to the filling of energy
sublevels.
See Fig. 8.12 (p. 325), to see how electrons for each element are distributed
into the energy sublevels.
Electron configurations of atoms with many electrons can become cumbersome.
! Abbreviated electron configurations (noble-gas core notation):
Since noble gases are at the end of each row in the Periodic Table, all of
their electrons are in filled orbitals.
Such electrons are called core electrons since they are more stable
(less reactive) when they belong to completely filled orbitals.
valence electrons: electrons that are in the outermost shell (unfilled orbitals)
Noble gas electron configurations can be used to abbreviate the core
electrons of all elements.

Remember again that for some transition metals, extra stability with filled
and half-filled d orbitals, so electrons are excited from the s orbitals to d
orbitals:

Electron Spin and the Pauli Exclusion Principle
Each electron in an atom can have one of two possible orientations, spin ! or spin ".
electron configuration: arrangement of electrons in an atom among sublevels

page 3 of 8
orbital diagram: diagram showing how electrons exist within an atoms orbitals
Pauli Exclusion Principle: no 2 e-s in an atom can have same four quantum #s
! Two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins
For example, with the helium atom, there are three ways to represent two
electrons in 1s orbital (where spin is represented with the electron pointing
up or down):
for He:
""
##
"#
(a)
(b)
(c)
but the Pauli exclusion principle rules out (a) and (b) since these show
two electrons in the same orbital with the same spin.
8.4 Orbital Diagrams of Atoms; Hunds Rule
Hund's Rule: the most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells has the
greatest number of parallel spins
i.e. distribute electrons with same spin (up or down) and do
not pair electrons until all subshells have an electron
For example, if carbons electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p2
! carbons orbital diagram can be shown in the following ways:
(a)
"#

(c)

2s

2p

2p
but using Hund's rule, we know (c) would be the most stable.
General Rules for Assigning Electrons in Atomic Orbital Diagrams
1. First, determine the electron configuration.
2. There is only one s orbital for each level: one 1s, one 2s, one 3s, etc.
There are 3 p orbitals for each p sublevel.
There are 5 d orbitals for each d sublevel.
3. Each orbital orbital can only hold 2 electrons
! Each s orbital can hold 2 electrons, each p sublevel can hold 6, ds can hold 10.
4. Electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins.
5. To fill sublevels, put one electron in each orbital (with same spin) before pairing.

Magnetic Properties of Atoms

paramagnetic: substance that contains unpaired electrons
! weakly attracted to magnetic field
diamagnetic:
substance that contains only paired electrons

! slightly repelled by magnetic field
To determine if a substance is paramagnetic or diamagnetic, you must draw

its orbital diagram and determine if it has an unpaired electrons.
Ex.

mass

! Periodic Tables shape
Indicates filling of electron orbitals and elements electron configuration
periodic law: When elements are arranged in terms of increasing atomic
number, the trends within a row or column form patterns that
allow us to predict the physical and chemical properties of
elements
8.6 Some Periodic Properties
Atomic radius: distance from nucleus to outermost electrons
Increases down a group: More p+, n, and e ! bigger radius
Decreases from left to right along a period.
effective nuclear charge:
positive charge an electron experiences because of charge from protons
in the nucleus minus any shielding due to electrons closer to the nucleus
Consider the atoms of Ti and Ni:
Thus, the higher the effective nuclear charge, the smaller the atomic radius!
page 6 of 8
Atomic radius trend:

Trend from top to bottom ! like a snowman
Trend from left to right ! like a snowman that fell to the right
First Ionization Energy:
Energy necessary to remove first electron from a

neutral atom in gaseous state to form negatively
charged ion.
First Ionization Energy TRENDS

Decreases down a group:
Bigger the atom, the further away es are from +vely charged nucleus
! es held less tightly and are more easily removed
Increases from left to right along a period:
Elements with fewer (13) valence es can more easily give up es to
gain noble gas configuration (stability)
Elements with more (47) valence es can more easily gain es togain
noble gas configuration (stability)
Trend from top to bottom ! like an upside-down snowman
Trend from left to right ! like a upside-down snowman that fell to the right
Variations in Successive Ionization Energies

Recognize that it becomes more difficult to remove electrons from stable ions.
See Table 8.3 on p. 337.
For example, the ionization energy to remove the first electron from Li is
much smaller than the any successive ionization energy since electrons
are now removed from a stable ion (with a positive charge AND
sometimes a noble gas electron configuration).
page 7 of 8
We can indicate first and successive ionization energies in the following way:
First ionization energy = IE1
Second ionization energy = IE2
Third ionization energy = IE3
Ex. 1:
Between which two ionization energies (IE1 and IE2, IE2 and IE3, etc.)
would you expect there to be the largest jump for the following
elements? Explain.
a. Mg: Between _____ and _____

Explain why:
b. K: Between _____ and _____

Explain why:
c. Al: Between _____ and _____

Explain why:
Ex. 2:

This 3rd period element has a large jump between IE5 and IE6.
Explain how you can identify the element.
Periodicity in the Main-Group Elements
Metallic character:
Decreases from left to right along a period:
Metals concentrated on left-hand side of P.T., nonmetals on right-hand side
Increases down a group: Looking at groups IVA and VA, go from
nonmetals (C & N) to semimetals (Si & As) to metals (Sn & Bi)

6.1 ENERGY AND ITS UNITS
energy: potential or capacity to move matter

A 10-lb bowling ball has higher PE when its 10 feet off the ground as
opposed to 10 inches off the ground

6.6 MEASURING HEATS OF REACTION

Heat Capacity and Specific Heat
specific heat (s): amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1
gram of any substance by 1C; has units of J/gC
water has relatively high specific heat (4.184 J/gC)
because the earth is covered by so much water
why temperatures on earth do not vary by large degree
page 3 of 12
heat capacity (C):
amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a

given amount of any substance by 1C; in units of J/C
molar heat capacity: heat capacity per mole of a substance (in J/molC)
Use the following equations to solve problems:
q = heat capacity T
or
q = (specific heat) (mass) T
where T=change in temperature
Ex. 1.
How much heat is released by a 150.0-g sample of copper that cools

from 100.0C to 25.0C? (The molar heat capacity for copper is
24.6 J/molC)
Ex. 2
To raise the temperature from 23.5C to 100.0 C for a 15.5-g sample of

silver, 279.9 J is required. What is the specific heat of silver?
Ex. 3
A beaker with 250.1 g of water is heated from 25.0C to its boiling

point. If the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gC, how much heat is
required to heat the water?
page 4 of 12
Ex. 4 When drinking an ice-cold beverage, a person must raise the

temperature of the beverage to 37.0C (normal body temperature). One
argument for losing weight is to drink ice-cold beverages since the
body must expend about 1 calorie per gram of water per degree
Celsiusi.e. the specific heat of water = 1.00 cal/gC to consume the
drink.
a. Calculate the amount of energy expended (in cal) to consume a 12oz beer (about 355 mL) if the beer is originally at 4.0C. Assume the
drink is mostly water and its density is 1.01 g/mL.
b. If the label indicates 103 Calories (where 1 nutritional Calorie (Cal)
equal 1 kcal), what is the net calorie gain or loss when a person
consumes this beer? Is this a viable weight loss alternative?
Measurement of Heat of Reaction

calorimeter:
an instrument that measures heat changes for physical and chemical processes
insulated, so the only heat flow is between reaction system and calorimeter
Coffee-Cup Calorimeter
also called constant-pressure calorimeter since under atmospheric pressure
polystyrene cup partially filled with water
since polystyrene is good insulator, very little heat lost through cup walls
heat evolved by a reaction is absorbed by water, and the heat capacity of
calorimeter is the heat capacity of the water
heat of reaction:
qreaction = mwater

page 5 of 12
Ex. 1 A 28.2 g sample of nickel is heated to 99.8C and placed in a coffee cup
calorimeter containing 150.0 g of water at 23.5C. After the metal cools,
the final temperature of metal and water is 25.0C. Calculate the specific
heat of the metal assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings or the
calorimeter.
6.2
Enthalpy and Enthalpy Change
Enthalpy (H): refers to heat flow into and out of a system under constant pressure
Under constant pressure (usually the case since under atmospheric pressure),
qreaction = H = Hproducts Hreactants
6.4
For an endothermic reaction:
H = +ve
For an exothermic reaction:
H = ve
Thermochemical Equations:
thermochemical equation: shows both mass and enthalpy relationships

Consider: Ice melting to form water at 0C and 1 atm
requires energy (6.01 kJ/mol)
We can represent the melting of 1 mol of ice as an equation:
H2O (s) H2O (l)
H = +6.01 kJ
Note: H is +ve since ice must absorb heat to form water

page 6 of 12
Consider: The formation of water releases heat:

2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O (g)
H = 571.6 kJ
Note: H is ve since heat is lost to the surroundings
Guidelines for Thermochemical Equations

1. Sign of H indicates if reaction is exothermic (H<0) or endothermic (H>0).
2. The coefficients in the chemical equation represent the numbers of moles
of reactants and products for the H given.
e.g. H is 185 kJ for 1 mol H2 + 1 mol Cl2 to form 2 mols of HCl
3. The physical states must be indicated for each reactant and product.
e.g. For water, the solid and the liquid states vary by 6.01 kJ
4. H generally reported for reactants and products at 25C.
6.5 APPLYING STOICHIOMETRY TO HEATS OF REACTION

Rule 1.
The magnitude of H is directly proportional to the amount of

reactant or product.
Consider heat as you would a reactant or product in a mole-tomole ratio, where H is the heat released or absorbed for the
moles of reactants and products indicated in the equation
Example: Consider
H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) 2 HCl (g)
H = 185 kJ
a. What is H for when 5.00 mol of hydrogen gas reacts completely?
b. What is H for the formation of 1.00 g of hydrogen chloride gas?
page 7 of 12
Rule 2. For a reverse rxn, H is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

If
H2O (s)
H2O (l)
then
H2O (l)
H fusion):
heat of fusion (
H2O (s)
H = +6.01 kJ
H = 6.01 kJ
heat associated with a solid melting, in kJ/mol;

i.e. solid liquid
HHfusion
H vapor):
heat of vaporization (
heat associated with a liquid vaporizing,

in kJ/mol; i.e. liquid gas
HHvapor
Example: If a 24.6-g ice cube requires 8.19 kJ of heat to melt completely,

calculate Hfusion for ice (in kJ/mol)?
Rule 3: If all the coefficients in a chemical equation are multiplied by a factor n

H is multiplied by factor n:
If
H2O (s)
H2O (l)
H = +6.01 kJ
2 [H2O (s) H2O (l)] = 2 H2O (s) 2 H2O (l)
H = 2(+6.01 kJ) = 12.0 kJ

Hesss Law
Hesss Law of heat summation: The value of H for a reaction is the same
whether it occurs in one step or in a series of steps
H = H1 + H2 + H3 + ...
page 8 of 12
Example 1:
CH4 (g)
Here are the reactions involved in the formation of CH4:

(a) Cgraphite (s) + O2 (g)
CO2 (g)
H = 393.5 kJ
(b) 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O (l)
H = 571.6 kJ
(c) CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
H = 890.4 kJ
Rearranging the data allows us to calculate H for the reaction:

(a)Cgraphite (s) + O2 (g)
(b)2 H2 (g) + O2(g)
(c)
CO2 (g)
H = 393.5 kJ
2 H2O (l)
H = 571.6 kJ
C O2 (g) + 2 H2O (l)
CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g)

CH4 (g)
H =
890.4 kJ
H = 74.7

If the coefficients in an equation can be simplified, multiply by the

necessary factors to cancel all intermediate compounds and get the
correct coefficients for your final equation.
Ex. 2
Rearrange the following data:

(a) Cgraphite (s) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)
H = 393.5 kJ

7.4 Quantum Mechanics

Louis de Broglie (1924); Dual Nature of the Electron
If light can behave like a wave and a particle
matter (like an electron) can behave like waves
if electron behaves like a standing wave
an electron can only have specific wavelengths
an electron can only have specific frequencies and thus, energies
for wave: E = mc2
for matter: E = h
Combining the two equations, we can solve for the wavelength for any matter.

7.3 Bohr Theory of the Hydrogen Atom

Bohr Postulates: Bohr Model of the Atom
1. Energy-level Postulate
Electrons move in discrete (quantized), circular orbits around the nucleus
"tennis ball and stairs" analogy for electrons and energy levels
a ball can bounce up to or drop from one stair to another, but it can
never be halfway between two levels
Each orbit has a specific energy associated with it, indicated as n=1, 2,...
ground state or ground level (n = 1): lowest energy state for atom
when the electron is in most stable orbit
excited state: when the electron is in a higher energy orbit (n = 2,3,4,...)
page 4 of 6
2. Transitions Between Energy Levels

When the atom absorbs energy, an electron can jump from a lower energy
level to a higher energy level.
When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower energy level,
the atom releases energy, sometimes in the form of visible light.
Atomic Line Spectra
Emission Spectra: continuous or line spectra of radiation emitted by substances
a heated solid (e.g. the filament in an incandescent light bulb) emits light that can be
spread out to give a continuous spectrum = spectrum containing all
wavelengths of light, like a rainbow
an atom in the gas phase emits light only at specific wavelengths = line spectrum
each element has a unique line spectrum can be used to identify
unknown atoms in chemical analysis
why line spectrum for each element called "atomic fingerprint"
Limitations of the Bohr Model Quantum Mechanical Model

Unfortunately, the Bohr Model failed for all other elements that had more than one
proton and one electron. (The multiple electron-nuclear attractions, electronelectron repulsions, and nuclear repulsions make other atoms much more
complicated than hydrogen.)
In 1920s, a new discipline, quantum mechanics, was developed to describe the
motion of submicroscopic particles confined to tiny regions of space.
Quantum mechanics makes no attempt to specify the position of a small particle
at a given instant or how the electron got there
It only gives the probability of finding small particles
Just like taking snapshot of a location and estimating where greatest
number of people are likely to be
Instead we take a snapshot of the atom at different times and see
where the electrons are usually found (See. Figs. 7.24, 7.26)
Erwin Schrdinger (1926)
developed a differential equation that allows us to find the electron's wave
), which ultimately allows us to determine the probability of finding
function (
the electron in a given place
probability density for an electron is called the "electron cloud"
shape
Quantum Numbers, Energy Levels, and Orbitals
4 quantum numbers describe distribution and behavior of electrons in atoms
Each wave function corresponds to a set of 3 quantum numbers and is referred
to as an atomic orbital
page 5 of 6
We will only discuss the first 2 Quantum Numbers:

First (or Principal) Quantum Number (n): n=1,2,3,...
relates the average distance of electron from nucleus
higher n means electron is further from nucleus and higher energy (less
stable) orbital
Second (or Angular Momentum) Quantum Number (l);
Sublevels (s, p, d, f)
gives the "shape" of the electron clouds associated with each orbital
The limitations on n and l
for n=1, only 1s sublevel
for n=2, only 2s and 2p sublevels
for n=3, there are 3s, 3p, and 3d sublevels
for n=4, there are 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f sublevels
Atomic Orbital Shapes:
s orbital: spherical (see Fig. 7.25)
p orbitals:
dumbbell-shaped (see Fig. 7.26)
3 types: px, py, pz (where x, y, and z give axis on which orbital aligns)
d orbitals:
various shapes (see Fig. 7.27)
5 types: dxy, dxz, dyz, d x 2 y 2 , dz2
f orbitals: Dont worry about these.
The interesting part...

Consider Fig. 7.26 showing the electron distribution for the 2px orbital.
Note that the electron is never along the y-axis. There is a node in that
region, indicating the electron is never found there.
How can the electron be on either side of the y-axis without going through it?

8.2
Building-Up Principle and the Periodic Table
Electrons are distributed in orbitals of increasing energy levels, where the

lowest energy orbitals are filled first.
Once an orbital has the maximum number of electrons it can hold, it is
considered filled. Remaining electrons must then be placed into the next
highest energy orbital, and so on.
Parking garage analogy
Orbitals in order of increasing energy:
1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s < 5d < 6p
electron configuration:
Shorthand description of the arrangement of electrons by sublevel

REMEMBER!
s orbitals can hold 2 electrons
a set of p orbitals can hold 6 electrons
a set of d orbitals can hold 10 electrons
a set of f orbitals can hold 14 electrons

Exceptions to the Building-Up Principle

Atoms gain extra stability when their d subshells are half-filled or completely
filled.
If we can fill or half-fill a d subshell by promoting an electron from an s orbital
to a d orbital, we do so to gain the extra stability.

8.3 Writing Electron Configurations Using the Periodic Table
Electron Configuration from the Periodic Table
The Periodic Table's shape actually corresponds to the filling of energy
sublevels.
See Fig. 8.12 (p. 325), to see how electrons for each element are distributed
into the energy sublevels.
Electron configurations of atoms with many electrons can become cumbersome.
Abbreviated electron configurations (noble-gas core notation):
Since noble gases are at the end of each row in the Periodic Table, all of
their electrons are in filled orbitals.
Such electrons are called core electrons since they are more stable
(less reactive) when they belong to completely filled orbitals.
valence electrons: electrons that are in the outermost shell (unfilled orbitals)
Noble gas electron configurations can be used to abbreviate the core
electrons of all elements.

Electron Spin and the Pauli Exclusion Principle
Each electron in an atom can have one of two possible orientations, spin or spin .
electron configuration: arrangement of electrons in an atom among sublevels

page 3 of 8
orbital diagram: diagram showing how electrons exist within an atoms orbitals
Pauli Exclusion Principle: no 2 e-s in an atom can have same four quantum #s
Two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins
For example, with the helium atom, there are three ways to represent two
electrons in 1s orbital (where spin is represented with the electron pointing
up or down):
for He:
(a)
(b)
(c)
but the Pauli exclusion principle rules out (a) and (b) since these show
two electrons in the same orbital with the same spin.
8.4 Orbital Diagrams of Atoms; Hunds Rule
Hund's Rule: the most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells has the
greatest number of parallel spins
i.e. distribute electrons with same spin (up or down) and do
not pair electrons until all subshells have an electron
For example, if carbons electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p2
carbons orbital diagram can be shown in the following ways:
(a)
1s
(b)
1s
(c)
1s
2s
2s
2s
2p
2p
2p
but using Hund's rule, we know (c) would be the most stable.
General Rules for Assigning Electrons in Atomic Orbital Diagrams
1. First, determine the electron configuration.
2. There is only one s orbital for each level: one 1s, one 2s, one 3s, etc.
There are 3 p orbitals for each p sublevel.
There are 5 d orbitals for each d sublevel.
3. Each orbital orbital can only hold 2 electrons
Each s orbital can hold 2 electrons, each p sublevel can hold 6, ds can hold 10.
4. Electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins.
5. To fill sublevels, put one electron in each orbital (with same spin) before pairing.

Magnetic Properties of Atoms

paramagnetic: substance that contains unpaired electrons
weakly attracted to magnetic field
diamagnetic:
substance that contains only paired electrons

slightly repelled by magnetic field
To determine if a substance is paramagnetic or diamagnetic, you must draw

its orbital diagram and determine if it has an unpaired electrons.
Ex.
Is cobalt paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

periodic law: When elements are arranged in terms of increasing atomic
number, the trends within a row or column form patterns that
allow us to predict the physical and chemical properties of
elements
8.6 Some Periodic Properties
Atomic radius: distance from nucleus to outermost electrons
Increases down a group: More p+, n, and e bigger radius
Decreases from left to right along a period.
effective nuclear charge:
positive charge an electron experiences because of charge from protons
in the nucleus minus any shielding due to electrons closer to the nucleus
Consider the atoms of Ti and Ni:
Thus, the higher the effective nuclear charge, the smaller the atomic radius!
page 6 of 8
Atomic radius trend:

Trend from top to bottom like a snowman
Trend from left to right like a snowman that fell to the right
First Ionization Energy:
Energy necessary to remove first electron from a

neutral atom in gaseous state to form negatively
charged ion.
First Ionization Energy TRENDS

Decreases down a group:
Bigger the atom, the further away es are from +vely charged nucleus
es held less tightly and are more easily removed
Increases from left to right along a period:
Elements with fewer (13) valence es can more easily give up es to
gain noble gas configuration (stability)
Elements with more (47) valence es can more easily gain es togain
noble gas configuration (stability)
Trend from top to bottom like an upside-down snowman
Trend from left to right like a upside-down snowman that fell to the right
Variations in Successive Ionization Energies

Recognize that it becomes more difficult to remove electrons from stable ions.
See Table 8.3 on p. 337.
For example, the ionization energy to remove the first electron from Li is
much smaller than the any successive ionization energy since electrons
are now removed from a stable ion (with a positive charge AND
sometimes a noble gas electron configuration).
page 7 of 8
We can indicate first and successive ionization energies in the following way:
First ionization energy = IE1
Second ionization energy = IE2
Third ionization energy = IE3
Ex. 1:
Between which two ionization energies (IE1 and IE2, IE2 and IE3, etc.)
would you expect there to be the largest jump for the following
elements? Explain.
a. Mg: Between _____ and _____

Explain why:
b. K: Between _____ and _____

Explain why:
c. Al: Between _____ and _____

Explain how you can identify the element.
Periodicity in the Main-Group Elements
Metallic character:
Decreases from left to right along a period:
Metals concentrated on left-hand side of P.T., nonmetals on right-hand side
Increases down a group: Looking at groups IVA and VA, go from
nonmetals (C & N) to semimetals (Si & As) to metals (Sn & Bi)

9.1
Describing Ionic Bonds
A metal transfers valence electrons to a nonmetal

metal cations and nonmetal anions
the charged ions are attracted to each other
ionic bond: electrostatic attraction between positively charged cation
and negatively charged anion
core electrons: innermost electrons belonging to filled electron shells
valence electrons: Electrons in the outermost shell
Since atoms want filled electron shells to be most stable, theyll combine with
other atoms with unfilled shells (gaining or losing es) to get stability.
Valence es lead to chemical bonds and reactions between atoms

For Main Group (A) elements, Group # # of valence es
Elements in Group IA: each have 1 valence e
Elements in Group IIA: each have 2 valence e
Elements in Group IIIA: each have 3 valence e
Elements in Group IVA: each have 4 valence e
Elements in Group VA: each have 5 valence e
Elements in Group VIA: each have 6 valence e
Elements in Group VIIA: each have 7 valence e
Elements in Group VIIIA: each have 8 valence e

Mg: ____ val. e
N: ____ val. e

Si: ____ val. e
Se: ____ val. e

Lewis Electron-Dot Symbols

Shows the atom or ion of an element with its valence electrons
1. Element symbol representing the nucleus and core electrons
2. Dots representing the valence e
page 1
Rules for writing Electron Dot Symbol

1. Write down the element symbol
2. Determine the number of valence electrons using the group number
3. For ions, account for electrons gained or lost leading to the charge.
4. Assume the atom has four sides, and distribute electrons with one electron
per side before pairing electrons.
Ex. 1 Give the Lewis electron-dot symbol for the following elements:
Si
Cl
Al
Ex. 2 Give the Lewis electron-dot symbol for the following ions:
calcium ion:
potassium ion:
sulfide ion:
Why do ions form if formation requires energy (i.e. ionization energy)?

When ionic compounds form, energy is released due to so many bonds formed
amount of energy released more than makes up for the ionization energy
Properties of Ionic Substances:
An ionic compound is actually a network of ions, with each cation surrounded
by anions, and vice versa. A 2-dimensional slice would look like this:
Most ionic compounds are solid at room temperature and have very high
melting points, since every bond between each ion must be broken to melt
the substance.
page 2
Coulomb's law: Relative strength of ionic bond given by the following:

1. Charges of ions: Higher the charge the stronger the bond
The bond in CaO (+2 and 2) is stronger than that in NaCl (+1 and 1)
why melting point of CaO (2927C) much higher than NaCl's (801C)
2. Distance between two ions: Shorter distance stronger the bond
internuclear distance for NaCl (0.276 nm) is shorter than KBr's (0.328 nm).
why NaCl melting point (801C) is higher than KBr's (734C).
9.2
Electron Configuration of Ions
Ions of the Main-Group Elements

Representative elements generally form ionsie. gain or lose electronsto
achieve a noble gas electron configuration
Ions from representative metals are usually isoelectronic withi.e. have
the same electron configuration asone of the noble gases!
For IONS, one must account for the loss or gain of electrons:
# electrons = atomic # (charge = change in # of valence electrons)
Or you can simply use the Periodic Table
Find out with which element the ion is isoelectronic
Move to the left for electrons lost
Move to the right for electrons gained
write the electron configuration for that element

In other covalent bonds, both atoms have equal EN values
share the bonding electrons equally nonpolar covalent bond
9.6 Writing Lewis Electron-Dot Formulas

1. Count the total number of valence electrons present
from atoms
from charge if polyatomic ion (add or subtract es for charge)
2. Write the skeleton structure of the compound
Put least EN atom as central atom and surround with other atoms
Note: H and F atoms will always be outer atoms
3. Connect all atoms by drawing single bonds between all atoms, then distribute the
remaining valence electrons as lone pairs around outer atoms so each has 8 es
octet rule: atoms form bonds such that all atoms get eight electrons
BUT hydrogen (H) can only have 2 electrons (to fill 1s orbital)
page 5
4. If there are not enough electrons for each atom to have an octet, make double
and/or triple bonds between central atom and surrounding atoms
BUT fluorine can only form a single bond
Note that double bonds are shorter than single bonds, and
triple bonds are shorter than double bonds
5. For polyatomic ions, square brackets are drawn around the Lewis structure, and
the charge is put in the upper right-hand corner
Give the Lewis formula for the following:
a. H2O
b. O 2
c. NF3

Formal Charge and Lewis Formulas
Example:
Give two different Lewis formulas for CO2 that satisfy the octet rule.
Because there are many ways to draw Lewis structures, we need a way to
determine the most plausible structure

shared equally and lone pairs belong solely to a single atom

1. For neutral molecules, sum of formal charges must equal zero.

2. For ions, the sum of the formal charges must equal charge.
page 7
Guidelines for formal charges and plausible structures:

Lewis formulas with no formal charges is preferable to one with formal charges.
Lewis formula with large formal charges (+2, +3, and/or 2, 3, etc.) is less
plausible than one with lower formal charges (+1 and 1, etc.)
When Lewis formulas have similar formal charge distributions, most plausible
formula has negative formal charge on more electronegative atom

Delocalized Bonding; Resonance
Given the Lewis structure for ozone, we expect either of the following structures:
:
:
so one bond (OO) bond should be longer than the other (O=O).
BUT experimental evidence indicates that both oxygen-oxygen bonds in ozone
are identical, so neither of the structures accurately represents the molecule.
page 8
These types of electrons are called delocalized electrons

because they are spread between more than two atoms.
The actual structure is a cross between the two structures,

where the electron pair is actually spread over all three atoms:
To correctly represent such delocalized electrons using Lewis formulas we show

all the Lewis formulas with a double-arrow between each:

9.10 Bond Length and Bond Order

Bond Length: distance between 2 nuclei of two bonded atoms
shorter the bond length, the stronger the bond
triple bonds are the shortest, so they are the strongest bonds
double bonds are the next shortest, so they are next in strength
single bonds are longest, so they are weaker than double and triple bonds
Bond order: number of pairs of electrons in a bond
single bond: bond order=1
double bond: bond order=2
triple bond: bond order=3
9.11 Bond Energy
bond energy: energy required to break a particular bond in the gas phase
always positive since it takes energy to break a bond
a quantitative measure of a bonds strength (i.e. stability of molecule)

10.1 The Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) model

refers to three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecule
responsible for many physical and chemical properties of molecules
Repulsion between electrons causes them to be as far apart as possible
valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model
accounts for geometric arrangements of electron pairs around central atom in
terms of repulsion between electron pairs
General Rules
1. Consider double and triple bonds like single bonds
(an approximation since extra electrons occupy space but sufficient for
qualitative purposes)
2. If two or more resonance structures can be drawn for a molecule, VSEPR
model can be applied to any one of them
3. Don't show formal charges
If there are only two atoms, the molecule must be linear.

Guidelines for Applying the VSEPR Model
1. Draw Lewis formula
2. Count number of atoms and lone pairs around central atom, treating
double and triple bonds as single bonds
Consider molecule's shape if lone pairs around central atom were
actually bonded pairs, then remove number of outer atoms equal to
number of lone pairs.
Remember that lone pair(s) occupy more space than bonded pairs of
electrons, so the bond angles are compressed when the central atom has
lone pairs.
Example: For each of the following,
i. Draw the Lewis formula
ii. Indicate the molecular geometry (or shape).
iii. Indicate the bond angles.

Polar Covalent Bonds

Electrons concentrate around the more electronegative atom in a molecule
Atom gains a partial ve charge
Since atoms spend less time around the other atom
Other atom gains a partial +ve charge

Nonpolar covalent bond: Covalent bond between 2 atoms w/ same EN
Best example is found between two identical atoms:
H2, O2, N2, Cl2, F2, I2, Br2
Nonpolar covalent bonds can also occur between different atoms which
have identical EN values: (See table of EN values in Table 9.15 on p. 367)
eg. NCl, CS, SI, etc.
Example: Indicate the type of bond (ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent)

10.3 Valence Bond (VB) Theory

Basic Theory
a covalent bond consists of a pair of electrons in atomic orbitals
H atom has the atomic orbital diagram:
1s
Each H in a H2 (HH) molecule
1s
Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals (explaining polyatomic molecules)

hybridization: mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom (usually central atom) to
generate a new set of atomic orbitals, called hybrid orbitals
sp Hybridization: mixing one s orbital and one p orbital
Consider BeCl2:
the ground state orbital diagram for Be should be
2s
2p
BUT this indicates that Be does not form covalent bonds with Cl since Be's
electrons are already paired
one of Be's electrons must be promoted to 2p:
2s
2p
page 10 of 16

2s
2p
Now there are two Be orbitals for bonding, but this indicates that the two BeCl
bonds are different since one forms from a 2s orbital and other from a 2p
BUT VSEPR predicts BeCl2 is linear and experiment indicates that the two
BeCl bonds are equivalent
hybridize a 2s and a 2p orbital to get 2 equivalent sp hybrid orbitals:
2s
unhybridized p orbitals
sp
2p
2p
linear shape (180 bond angle) corresponds to sp orbitals
sp2 Hybridization: mixing one s orbital and two p orbitals

Consider BF3:
ground state orbital diagram for B should be
2s
2p
and promoting one of Be's 2s electrons to 2p gives:
2s
2p
Now there are three B orbitals for bonding, but this indicates that two of the
BF bonds (from 2s) should be the same but one (from 2s) should be different.
But VSEPR predicts BF3 is trigonal planar and experiment indicates that
the three BF bonds are equivalent
hybridize a 2s and two 2p orbitals to get 3 equivalent sp2 hybrid orbitals:
2s
2p
sp 2
last unhybridized
p orbital
2p
2
trigonal planar shape (120 bond angle) corresponds to sp orbitals
page 11 of 13
sp3 Hybridization: mixing one s orbital and three p orbitals

Consider CH4:
ground state orbital diagram for C should be
2s
2p
form 4 bonds, Cs orbital diagram should be:
2s
2p
But VSEPR predicts CH4 is tetrahedral and experiment indicates that

the four CH bonds are equivalent
hybridize a 2s and three 2p orbitals to get 4 equivalent sp3 orbitals:
2s
sp 3
2p
tetrahedral shape (109.5 bond angle) corresponds to sp 3 orbitals

sp3 hybridization also applies to ammonia (NH3), where N's es are arranged as
sp 3
The lone pair on the N takes up more space than the es in NH bonds, so the
HNH angles are all less than 109.5.
sp3d Hybridization: mixing one s orbital, three p orbitals, and one d orbital
Consider PCl5:
3p
ground state orbital diagram for P should be 3s
the necessary configuration for P to form 5 bonds should be:
3s
3d
3p
But VSEPR predicts PCl5 is trigonal bipyramid and experiment indicates that
the five PCl bonds are equivalent
hybridize the 3s, all three 3p, and one 3d orbital to get 5 equal sp3d orbitals:
sp 3d
3d
3
trigonal bipyramidal shape corresponds to sp d orbitals

page 12 of 16
sp3d2 Hybridization: mixing one s orbital, three p orbitals, two d orbitals

Consider SF6:
3p
ground state orbital diagram for S should be 3s
the necessary configuration for S to form 6 bonds should be:
3s
3d
3p
Now VSEPR predicts SF6 is octahedron and experiment indicates that the
six SF bonds are equivalent
hybridize the 3s, all three 3p, and two 3ds to get 6 equal sp3d2 orbitals:
sp 3d 2
3d
octahedral shape corresponds to sp 3d 2 orbitals

Predicting what hybrid orbitals form:
1. Draw Lewis structure to determine total number of bonds on central atom
2. Given the shape of molecule or bond angle from the VSEPR model, we can
determine what hybrid orbitals must be involved:
Molecular Geometry (Shape)
Hybrid Orbitals
linear (e.g. HCN, BeCl2, CO2)
sp
trigonal planar (120), bent (<120)
sp 2
tetrahedral (109.5) or shapes with <109.5 angles
sp 3
trigonal bipyramidal, see-saw, T-shape, linear with

expanded octet on central atom
sp 3d
octahedral (90) or shapes with all 90 or <90 angles
sp3d2

following molecules from pages 7-8 of your notes?

Problems: 1, 5-6, 9, 10, 12-13, 27, 29-32, 35-36, 45-46, 49-50, 53-64
11.1 Comparison of Gases, Liquids, and Solids
phase (=physical state): solid, liquid, or gas
Solids have the lowest kinetic energy (KE)i.e. do not move very much
Highest attraction between particles
particles are stuck in specific sites = very confined
Liquids have slightly higher KEi.e. particles moving more than in solid
Particles are still attracted and maintain contact with one another
but can move past one another
particles are less confined
Gases have greatest KEi.e. particles move quickly and randomly
Attractive forces almost (if not) completely overcome, so particles can fly
particles are far away from each other = unrestricted
11.5 Intermolecular Forces; Explaining Liquid Properties
intermolecular forces: Attraction between 2 or more molecules
e.g. between 2 water molecules or between a water and a CO2 molecule
London (Dispersion) Forces
Attraction between temporary or induced dipoles in adjacent molecules
Electrons are constantly shifting and can sometimes concentrate in one
region
instantaneous (temporary) dipole that goes away once electrons shift
Chocolate-chip cookie dough analogy
Most common type and weakest of intermolecular forces, found in all
molecules
Only type of intermolecular force between nonpolar molecules
The strength of theses forces depends on
Number of electrons in a molecule
How easily the electrons are dispersed or (polarized) to form
temporary dipoles
In general, larger molecules have more electrons and are more
polarizable
as molar mass increases, dispersion/London forces
become stronger
boiling point of nonpolar molecules increases with molar
mass
CHEM 151: Chapter 11
page 1 of 8
Dipole-Dipole Forces: Attraction between polar molecules

strong because attraction is due to permanent electrostatic charges
Note: Van der Waals Forces refer to intermolecular forces due to either
London forces or dipole-dipole forces.
Hydrogen Bonds:
Exist between molecules with following bonds: HF, HO, HN
Special type of dipole-dipole force caused by small radii and large
electronegativity differences between H and O, N, and F atoms
strongest type of intermolecular bond
Responsible for relatively high boiling points of molecules like H2O,
NH3, and HF
Responsible for many of water's unusual properties, including why
the density of ice (d=0.917 g/cm3) is less than the density of liquid
water (d=1.000 g/cm3)
Arrangement of water molecules in ice crystal results in "holes" or
empty space, but in water, the molecules arrange to fill in the
holes
Note:
Although hydrogen bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular

bonds, ionic and covalent bonds will always be stronger than
hydrogen bonds because ionic and covalent bonds hold the ions or
atoms together in a compound.

page 4 of 8
Physical Properties and Intermolecular Forces:

Vapor Pressure: partial pressure exerted by gas molecules above
the liquid in equilibrium with the liquid
varies for different liquids, varies for different Ts
more gas molecules higher vapor pressure
weaker the intermolecular forces
more molecules can go from liquid to vapor
higher vapor pressure
H vap):
molar heat of vaporization (
energy required to vaporize one mole of a liquid
stronger intermolecular forces higher molar heat of vaporization
Practical example of molar heat of vaporization:
rubbing alcohol on your hands
heat from your hands increases the KE of alcohol molecules
evaporates
this is an endothermic process
perspiration: body heat vaporizes water of perspiration from
body's surface
Boiling Point: temperature where vapor pressure of liquid is equal to
external pressure (usually atmospheric pressure)
normal boiling point is boiling point at 1 atm
e.g. water boils at 100C at 1 atm, but it boils at ~95C in
Albuquerque where the atmospheric pressure is ~0.85 atm
both Hvap and boiling point depend on intermolecular forces
Surface Tension: attraction between surface molecules in a liquid
stronger intermolecular forces = stronger attraction
surface molecules are held together more strongly
higher surface tension
11.2 Phase Transition: change from one physical state to another
sublimation
SOLID
fusion
freezing
LIQUID
vaporization
condensation
GAS
deposition
page 5 of 8
The Equilibrium Nature of Phase Changes

dynamic equilibrium: rate of forward process is exactly equal to the rate
of reverse process
Liquid-Gas Equilibrium:
liquid
vapor
evaporation (or vaporization): liquid vapor
condensation: vapor liquid
the process of a gas liquefying
can result from two techniques:
1. cooling sample of gas lower KE, and molecules start to
aggregate to form small drops of liquid
2. applying pressure to gas minimize space between
molecules, so molecules are attracted to each other
Liquid-Solid Equilibrium
freezing: liquid solid
melting (or fusion): solid liquid
melting point: temperature at which solid and liquid phases coexist in
equilibrium
normal melting point is melting point at 1 atm
Consider solid-liquid equilibrium of water and ice (at 0C and 1 atm):
ice
water
When ice cubes are placed into a glass of water, the ice cubes begin to
melt, but some water between the ice cubes freezes, causing ice cubes to
fuse
H fus): energy required to melt one mole of solid
molar heat of fusion (
supercooling: a liquid can be temporarily cooled to below its freezing
point
results when a liquid is cooled so rapidly that molecules don't have time
to arrange themselves properly
unstable condition; gentle stirring or adding "seed" crystal will cause
solidification
Practical example: Sometimes happens in your refrigerator if a bottle
of carbonated soda supercools.
You notice ice crystals upon opening.

Solid-Gas Equilibrium:
Consider the dynamic equilibrium:
solid
vapor
Dry ice, CO2 (s), sublimes at room temperature, completely skipping a

liquid phase.
sublimation:solid gas (with no liquid phase)
deposition: gas solid (with no liquid phase)
H sub): Hsub = Hfus + Hvap
molar heat of sublimation (
energy required to sublime one mole of solid
given by sum of heats of fusion and vaporization

Heat of Phase Transition
heating-cooling curve:
Shows the phase changes that occur when heat

is added or removed from a sample
Heating Curve
Temperature (C)
Heat added
Draw a heating curve indicating the following:

1. Regions for solid only, liquid only, gas only, solid-liquid, liquid-gas
2. The relationship between melting point and phases present
3. The relationship between boiling point and phases present
4. Where the curve is flat, where the slope is positive
page 7 of 8
11.3 Phase Diagrams

summarize the conditions at which a substance exists as solid, liquid, or
gas
allow us to determine melting and boiling points at different external
pressures
Water: phase diagram shown in Fig. 11.11
graph divided into three regions corresponding to each phase
lines separating two regions indicate conditions when both phases exist
triple point: point at which all three curves meet
when all three phases can be in equilibrium with each other
for water, at 0.01C and about 4.56 mm Hg
Phase Diagram for Water versus that for CO2:
Note that line separating solid and liquid phases has positive slope for
CO2 but negative slope for H2O
for CO2, the solid is more dense than the liquid, so increasing pressure
converts the liquid to a solid
for H2O, the solid is less dense than the liquid, so increasing pressure
converts the solid to a liquid
Critical Temperature and Pressure:
critical temperature (Tc): above which its gas form cannot be made to
liquefy, no matter how great the applied pressure
highest temperature at which a substance can exist as a liquid
intermolecular attraction is a finite quantity for given substance
below Tc, molecules are moving slowly enough to maintain contact
above Tc, molecular motion so energetic that molecules will always
break away from attraction
critical pressure (Pc):
minimum pressure that must be applied to

liquefy sample at the critical temperature
Given a Phase Diagram, be able to do the following:

Determine what phase(s) is/are present at a given temperature and
pressure
Indicate the boiling point or melting point at a given pressure
Describe what phase change occurs when temperature is changed at a
constant pressure
Describe what phase change occurs when pressure is changed at a
constant temperature.
