Could mean molecules of an element (H 2 ), which is hydrogen found in its natural state (diatomic). Could mean atoms of elements are present in some form (sodium found in the human body). How the Term Element is Used

6. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 6 Most elements are very reactive. Elements are not generally found in uncombined form.  Exceptions are: Noble metals – gold, platinum and silver Noble gases – Group 8

7. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 7 Diatomic Molecules Nitrogen gas contains N 2 molecules. Oxygen gas contains O 2 molecules.

8. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 8 Diatomic Molecules

9. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 9 Atoms can form ions by gaining or losing electrons.  Metals tend to lose one or more electrons to form positive ions called cations.  Cations are generally named by using the name of the parent atom.

10. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 10 Nonmetals tend to gain one or more electrons to form negative ions called anions. Anions are named by using the root of the atom name followed by the suffix –ide.

13. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 13 Ions combine to form ionic compounds. Properties of ionic compounds  High melting points  Conduct electricity If melted If dissolved in water

14. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 14 Ionic compounds are electrically neutral. The charges on the anions and cations in the compound must sum to zero.

15. Section 4.1 The Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 15 Write the cation element symbol followed by the anion element symbol. The number of cations and anions must be correct for their charges to sum to zero. Formulas for Ionic Compounds

16. Section 4.2 Symbols for the Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 16 Each element has a unique one- or two-letter symbol. First letter is always capitalized and the second is not. The symbol usually consists of the first one or two letters of the element’s name.  Examples: Oxygen O Krypton Kr Sometimes the symbol is taken from the element’s original Latin or Greek name.  Examples: Gold Au aurum Lead Pb plumbum

17. Section 4.2 Symbols for the Elements Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 17 Names and Symbols of the Most Common Elements

18. Section 4.4 Formulas of Compounds Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 18 Compound – distinct substance that is composed of the atoms of two or more elements and always contains exactly the same relative masses of those elements. Chemical Formulas – expresses the types of atoms and the number of each type in each unit (molecule) of a given compound. Chemical Formulas Describe Compounds

19. Section 4.4 Formulas of Compounds Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 19 1.Each atom present is represented by its element symbol. 2.The number of each type of atom is indicated by a subscript written to the right of the element symbol. 3.When only one atom of a given type is present, the subscript 1 is not written. Rules for Writing Formulas

All rights reserved 20 Exercise The pesticide known as DDT paralyzes insects by binding to their nerve cells, leading to uncontrolled firing of the nerves. Before most uses of DDT were banned in the U.S., many insects had developed a resistance to it. Write out the formula for DDT. It contains 14 carbon atoms, 9 hydrogen atoms, and 5 atoms of chlorine.

21. Section 4.6 Introduction to the Modern Concept of Atomic Structure Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 21 The atom contains: Electrons – found outside the nucleus; negatively charged Protons – found in the nucleus; positive charge equal in magnitude to the electron’s negative charge Neutrons – found in the nucleus; no charge; virtually same mass as a proton

22. Section 4.6 Introduction to the Modern Concept of Atomic Structure Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 22 The nucleus is:  Small compared with the overall size of the atom.  Extremely dense; accounts for almost all of the atom’s mass.

24. Section 4.6 Introduction to the Modern Concept of Atomic Structure Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 24 The chemistry of an atom arises from its electrons. Electrons are the parts of atoms that “intermingle” when atoms combine to form molecules. It is the number of electrons that really determines chemical behavior. Why do different atoms have different chemical properties?

26. Section 4.7 Isotopes Return to TOC Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved 26 Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Show almost identical chemical properties; chemistry of atom is due to its electrons. In nature most elements contain mixtures of isotopes. Isotopes
