WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Dissecting the Do Now: 2 Check your answers up front when you are done! Make sureyou understand the problems!
3
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM “Let there be bread, water, and salt for all.” – Nelson Mandela 3
4
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM 4 What makes salt so important?
5
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM What you should already know… Salt is an ionic compound – It is made of metal Na + ions and non-metal Cl - ions that are attracted to each other. Key Questions this Week: – Why does salt form in the first place? (Monday) – What kind of properties does salt have and why? (Tuesday) – Why can salt dissolve in water and participate in biological processes? (Wednesday) 5
6
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Today’s Learning Target: Find out why salt forms by… Explaining the ionization energy of an electrons using Coulomb’s Law. 6
7
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Linking to Physics 7 Isaac Newton relates gravitational force to mass and distance Derives the equation:
8
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM What does this mean? 8 Bigger objects (like bigger planets) have more force of gravity. Because radius (distance) is in the denominator, the farther apart two objects are the weaker their force of gravity.
9
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Two asteroids with identical mass are approaching earth. Asteroid 1 is 630,000 km away, while asteroid 2 is 635,000 km away. Which exerts more force on the earth? A.Asteroid 1 B.Asteroid 2 9
10
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Can we apply that thinking to atoms ? There are three total electrons in a lithium atom, which has a configuration of 1s 1 2s 1. Which electron experiences the weakest force of attraction to the nucleus? A.1s 1 electron B.1s 2 electron C.2s 2 electron 10
11
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Coulomb’s Law tells us about electrostatic force, instead of gravitational force. Instead of mass, we use charge. 11 Distance between charges matters
12
WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Coulomb’s Law tells us about an electron’s ionization energy Ionization energy = the energy input needed to steal an atom’s electron. 12 Higher ionization energy = harder to remove an electron Lower ionization energy = easier to remove an electron

WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM Left to Right Across the Periodic Table What increases, generally, as we move from left to right across the periodic table? – Protons (Atomic Number) Think about Coulomb’s Law. If the positive charge from protons increases, what happens to the force of attraction? – Increases Should it be harder (high ionization energy) or easier (low ionization energy) to steal a valence electron? – Harder with a higher ionization energy. More protons hold the electrons more tightly. 14

WWHS CHEMISTRY @WOODROWCHEM 15 Why isn’t the trend a straight line with a positive slope as the atomic number increases?
