1 1 Section Check Question 1 Electrons are now known to swarm around the nucleus of an atom in a structure known as the _______. A. electron circle B. electron cloud C. electron configuration D. electron swarm

1 1 Section Check Answer The answer is B. The “cloud” includes all the regions where an electron might be found.

1 1 Section Check Question 2 What information can you learn from this diagram?

1 1 Section Check Answer This image is an example of an Lewis dot diagram. It tells you that nitrogen contains five electrons in its outer energy level.

1 1 Section Check Question 3 The _______ an energy level is from the nucleus, the _______ electrons it can hold. A. closer, more B. closer, less C. farther, less D. farther, more

1 1 Section Check Answer The answer is D. The farthest shells contain the greatest number of electrons.

Chemical Formulas: Atoms combine (or bond) in predictable numbers. We will use our periodic table to figure out what these numbers are.

Each compound has a specific ratio. The ratio compares how many atoms of each element are in the compound. Example: Ammonia’s element ratio is 3 hydrogen atoms to one nitrogen atom. –3 H : 1 N Example: Water’s element ratio is two hydrogens to one oxygen. –2 H : 1 O Example: Salt’s element ratio is one sodium to one chlorine. –1 Na : 1 Cl

Knowing the ratio helps us write the chemical formula: A chemical formula uses the chemical symbols to represent the atoms of the elements and their ratios in a chemical compound. The ratio numbers become a subscript behind its element. –A subscript is a number written to the right of a chemical symbol and slightly below. –The subscripts tell you how many atoms of each element are present in the compound. Example: Carbon dioxide is the gas that we exhale. It’s ratio is 1 carbon atom to 2 oxygen atoms or 1 C : 2 O. –The chemical formula for Carbon dioxide is CO 2.

Examples of writing the chemical formula: Compound Name Element Present Atom Ratio Chemical Formula Hydrogen chloride Hydrogen and Chlorine 1 H : 1 Cl Water Hydrogen and Oxygen 2 H : 1 O Ammonia Nitrogen and Hydrogen 1 N : 3 H Methane Carbon and Hydrogen 1 C : 4 H Propane Carbon and Hydrogen 3 C : 8 H

How do you find the atom ratio of elements in a compound??? We use the ionization # from the periodic table! These are the ionization #’s for each group.

How does this give us the chemical formula? The ionization # of one element in a compound crosses over to the other element in the compound. Example: Ammonia N 3- H 1+ N 1 H 3 The ionization # for H is 1+. The ionization # for nitrogen is 3-. When you write the formula, you cross them over. The element ratio is 3 H : 1 N. The chemical formula is NH 3.

Find the element ratio and write the chemical formula for the following: Water (Hydrogen & Oxygen) Salt (Sodium Chloride) Calcium chloride Magnesium oxide
