Molecular View of Elements and Compounds 2
Atomic Elements Atomic Elements = elements whose smallest units are single atoms Most elements are atomic elements Elemental Mercury 3
Molecular Elements Certain elements occur as diatomic molecules. 7 diatomic elements H O F Br I N Cl H 2 7 7A N 2 O 2 F 2 Cl2 Br 2 I 2 4
Molecular Compounds Two or more nonmetals. Smallest unit is a molecule. 5
Ionic Compounds Metals + nonmetals. No individual molecule units, instead have a 3- dimensional array of cations and anions made of formula units. 6
Classify Each of the Following as Either an Atomic Element, Molecular Element, Molecular Compound, or Ionic Compound. Aluminum, Al. Aluminum chloride, AlCl 3. Chlorine, Cl 2. Acetone, C 3 H 6 O. Carbon monoxide, CO. Cobalt, Co. 7
Classify Each of the Following as Either an Atomic Element, Molecular Element, Molecular Compound, or Ionic Compound, Continued. Aluminum, Al = Atomic element. Aluminum chloride, AlCl 3 = Ionic compound. Chlorine, Cl 2 = Molecular element. Acetone, C 3 H 6 O = Molecular compound. Carbon monoxide, CO = Molecular compound. Cobalt, Co = Atomic element. 8
Law of Constant Composition 9
Law of Constant Composition 10
Law of Constant Composition All pure substances have constant composition. All samples of a pure substance contain the same elements in the same mass ratios. Mixtures have variable composition. 11
Compounds Display Constant Composition If we decompose 18.0 g of water by electrolysis, we find 16.0 grams of oxygen to every 2.00 grams of hydrogen. Water has a constant mass ratio of oxygen to hydrogen of 8.0. Mass Ratio = mass of oxygen mass of hydrogen = 16.0 g 2.0 g = 8.0 12
Example Show that Two Samples of Carbon Dioxide, CO 2 Are Consistent with the Law of Constant Composition. Sample 1: 4.8 g O, 1.8 g C; Sample 2: 17.1 g O, 6.4 g C 13
Why Do Compounds Show Constant Composition? The smallest piece of a compound is called a molecule. Every molecule of a compound has the same number and type of atoms. Since all the molecules of a compound are identical, every sample will have the same ratio of the elements. Since all molecules of a compound are identical, every sample of the compound will have the same properties. 14
Chemical Formulas 15
Formulas Describe Compounds A chemical formula describes the compound by describing the number and type of each atom in the simplest unit of the compound. Each element is represented by its letter symbol. The number of atoms of each element is written to the right of the element as a subscript. If there is only one atom, the 1 subscript is not written. C 2 H 2 O 4 16
Types of Chemical Formulas 17
Formulas Describe Compounds, Continued Water = H 2 O two atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen Table sugar = C 12 H 22 O 11 12 atoms of C, 22 atoms of H and 11 atoms O 18
Order of Elements in a Formula Metals are written first. NaCl Nonmetals are written in order from Table 5.1. CO 2 There are occasional exceptions for historical or informational reasons. H 2 O, but NaOH. Table 5.1 Order of Listing Nonmetals in Chemical Formulas C P N H S I Br Cl O F 19

Ion Charge and the Periodic Table The charge on an ion can often be determined from an elements position on the periodic table. Metals are always positive ions, nonmetals are negative ions. For many main group metals, the cation charge = the group number. For nonmetals, the anion charge = the group number 8. 24
