Chemical Compounds Guiding Question? How Do I determine the composition and structure of a molecule or a compound based on its formula?
2
Composition of Matter Everything in life is made of matter You are made of star dust! Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass Mass is the quantity of matter an object has
3
A review of Elements Elements cannot be broken down chemically into simpler matter The simplest particle of an element is an atom Nucleus-makes up bulk of the mass Has protons and neutrons Atomic #- number of protons Mass Number- total number of protons and neutrons Remember that protons and electrons are almost always equal
4
Isotopes Isotopes are atoms that have the same number protons, but a different number of neutrons. Can you think of any isotopes we commonly use in science? Isotopes Isotopes Atoms of an element will always have the same number of protrons, however there are different numbers of neutrons.
5
Molecule Structures Bohr-Rutherford Model Electron Dot Diagram (Lewis)
6
Looking at Compounds Compounds are made up of atoms of two or more elements in fixed proportions We use chemical formulas to show the kinds and proportions of atoms in each formula H20 (2) Hydrogens (1) Oxygen Think of your molecular structure diagrams. Can you draw this compound?
7
Chemical Bonds Did you figure out the diagram for H2O? Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen all have unfilled outer electron shells. They are looking to react! Chemical Bonds are the attractive forces that hold atoms together. There are three types. Do you remember them? Covalent Ionic Van der waals-(we wont look at this)
8
Covalent Bonding Forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons Remember, there is a sharing of pairs There is no transfer of electrons Can be single bonds Double bonds Triple Bonds
9
Ionic Bond Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Atoms are electrically neutral. They have equal protons and electrons.
10
Difference between Ionic and Covalent Bonds Ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal Covalent is between two non metals
11
Writing Chemical Formulas First you must understand Cations Any positively charged atom or group of atoms Anions Any negatively charged atom or group of atoms
12
Writing Chemical Formulas Identify the symbol of the cation and the anion Identify the valence or the charge of each symbol and place it just above the symbol Balance the total positive and negative charge on the cation and anion. Charges must balance each other out Once you determine the number of units of each the cation and anion, these become the subscripts Lets try a few Copper Oxide Calcium Nitride
13
Need an easier way? Write the symbols of the two elements Write the valence of each as superscripts Drop the positive and negative signs Crisscross the superscripts so they become subscripts Reduce when possible Boron oxide Lead Oxide Aluminum phosphide
14
Bond with a Classmate Take your ion and find someone you can bond with Attempt to create the compound H2O, MgCl2..and so on We will come together as a class and try to figure out if you are correct If you are correct we will figure out the name of your new compound.
