4. ELEMENTS

5. An element is a fundamental substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means to simpler substances. There are 118 known elements. All but 4 of the first 92 elements occur in nature. All elements beyond 92 except for plutonium (94) are man made. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

6. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can exist. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

12. Names of the Elements The names of the elements are derived from a variety of sources: Iodine comes from Greek iodes, which means violetlike. Bismuth comes from the German weisse masse, which means white mass. Germanium was named for Germany, where it was discovered. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

13. Rules for symbols of elements 1.Symbols have either one or two letters. 2.If one letter is used, it is capitalized. 3.If two letters are used, only the first is capitalized. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc N nitrogen I iodineNi nickel C carbonO oxygenCo cobalt

16. THE PERIODIC TABLE

17. Introduction to the Periodic Table Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. Elements within a group have similar properties. The representative elements are groups IA- VIIA and the noble gases. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

19. Your Turn! The element potassium is in the first group on the Periodic Table (group IA). Potassium is a.an alkali metal b.an alkaline earth metal c.a transition element d.a halogen Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

20. Your Turn! The elements on the periodic table are placed in order of increasing a.Density b.Atomic number c.Boiling point d.Atomic mass Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

21. Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

22. Classifying Elements: Metals Some properties of metals: Lustrous Malleable Conduct heat and electricity Ductile High density High melting point Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

23. Classifying Elements: Nonmetals Some properties of nonmetals: Dull (if solid) Brittle (if solid) Poor conductors of heat and electricity Non-Ductile Low density Low melting point Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc Iodine crystals

24. Classifying Elements: Metalloids Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between those of metals and those of nonmetals. Some are used to make the semiconductors we need for computer chips. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

25. Your Turn! A solid sample of an unknown element is dull and brittle and does not conduct heat or electricity. How should the element be classified? a.Metal b.Nonmetal c.Metalloid d.Transition element Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

26. Your Turn! The majority of the elements are a.Metals b.Gases c.Nonmetals d.Metalloids Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

27. Your Turn! Which is not a metalloid? a.Boron (B) b.Silicon (Si) c.Germanium (Ge) d.Aluminum (Al) Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

28. Elements in Their Natural States Most elements are found as compounds in nature because they are very reactive. The noble metals (gold, silver and platinum) are nonreactive and are found as elements in nature. The noble gases are the least reactive elements and are found in uncombined form. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

29. Physical States of the Elements Most are solids at room temperature. Some are gases (the noble gases, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and chlorine). Two are liquids (mercury and bromine). Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

37. COMPOUNDS Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

38. Compounds are composed of two or more elements combined in a definite proportion by mass. Elements in compounds are always combined in whole number ratios. Al 2 O 3 KNO 3 CaCl 2 Compounds can be decomposed chemically into simpler substances. Each compound has unique properties that are different from the elements that make it up. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

40. Molecules A molecule is the smallest uncharged individual unit of a compound. Usually composed of two or more nonmetals. Can be solids, liquids or gases. Do not conduct electricity. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc H2OH2OH2O2H2O2 PCl 5

41. Water Water molecules can be decomposed into oxygen molecules and hydrogen molecules. The properties of water are very different from the properties of oxygen gas and hydrogen gas. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc

43. Ionic Compounds Contain ions (charged particles). Compounds are held together by the attractive forces between the cations (positive ions) and the anions (negative ions). Formulas are the simplest whole number ratio of each element. Solids at room temperature. Conduct electricity when molten. Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc NaCl

44. Sodium Chloride Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc The properties of sodium chloride are very different from the properties of sodium metal and chlorine gas. 2NaCl (s) 2Na (s) + Cl 2(g) Figure 3.8 When sodium chloride (a) is decomposed, it forms sodium metal (b) and chlorine gas (c).
