Atomic Theory of Matter
John Dalton described atoms as solid, indestructible particles that make up all matter.
All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. An atom cannot be created, destroyed or divided into smaller pieces.
The atoms of one element cannot be converted into the atoms of any other elements
All the atoms of one element have the same properties such as mass and size. These properties are different from the properties of the atoms of any other element.
Atoms of different elements combine in specific proportions to form compounds
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic number = number of protons
Isotopes
Atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Periodic Table Trends
Types of Chemical Bonds
Ionic Bond : formed when one atom accepts or donates one of its valence electrons to another atom
Covalent Bond: formed when atoms share valence electrons. The atoms do not always share electrons equally, so a polar covalent bond may result.
Metallic Bond: when electrons are shared equally by two metallic atoms. The electrons that participate in metallic bonds may be shared between any of the metal atoms in the region.
If the electronegativity values of two atoms are:
Characteristics of Metallic Bonds:
Heat conductivity (mobile electrons can carry the kinetic energy of heat),
Shiny appearance (the rapidly moving electrons emit energy in the form of light),
Electricity conductors (electricity is the flow of electrons), and
Malleability (ability to be easily shaped into flat sheets or drawn into wires). similar... Metallic bonds form between two metal atoms.
Covalent bonds form between two non-metal atoms.
Non polar covalent bonds form when the electronegativity values are very similar.
Polar covalent bonds form when the electronegativity values are a little further apart. different... Ionic bonds are formed.

Octet Rule
Atoms bond in order to achieve an electron configuration that is the same as the electron configuration of a noble gas. When two atoms or ions have the same electron configuration they are said to be isoelectronic with on another.
Polar Molecules and Shapes
When two bonding atoms have an electronegativity difference that is greater than 0.5 but less than 1.7 they are called polar covalent bond. Since the electronegativity of the elements are not equal one will have the larger EN value and therefore more attraction. This gives that element a partial negative charge. The less attractive element will have a partial positive.

Chemical Formulas
A chemical formula provides two pieces of information:
1. The elements that make up the compound
2. The number of atoms of each element that are present in a compound
Chemical Nomenclature is a system used in chemistry for naming compounds
Binary Ionic Compounds the cation is named first, anion second. If the metal (Cation) has multiple oxidation states write the oxidation state in roman numerals~ Copper (II), Copper (I)
Alternatively the oxidation state can be indicated by changing the end of the metal's name to "ic" or "ous" and using the Latin name of the element.
"ic" indicates the larger valence number
"ous" indicates the smaller or lower valence number
~ Tin (IV) Stannic, Tin (II) Stannous
The non metal is named with the ending changed to "ide"
Naming Compounds that Contain Hydrogen
When hydrogen acts like a action it is called hydrogen
When hydrogen acts like an anion it is called hydride
Polyatomic Ions
The polyatomic ion has an ending of "ate" when it is in its most common form
If there is one less oxygen than the ending is changed to "ite"
If there are two less oxyggen atoms then there is a prefix "hypo" and the ending is still "ite"
If there is one more oxygen atom, than originally then the prefix changes to "per" and ending is "ate"
Naming of a compound with two non-metals...Molecular/ Covalent
1. Each metal has a prefix that represents the number of atoms or mono hept di oct tri non tetra dec penta hexa
2. The stock system is used where the roman numerals are placed in brackets to represent the charge of the first non metal
Naming and Writing chemical formulas for acids and bases
Acids can be classified into two main groups, binary acids and oxoacids
Binary Acids contain 2 elements, Hydrogen and a non metal
Naming of binary acids – 2 methods: Classical Method IUPAC method -prefix hydro -aqueous -root – non metal name -hydrogen non metal “ide” ending -ending – “ic acid”
Oxoacids, aka Oxy acids – 2 methods:
Classical Method IUPAC method -root of anion (polyatomic ion) -aqueous -replace “ate” with “ic acid” -hydrogen name of polyatomic ion -replace “ite” with “ous acid” -replace “hypo__ite” with “hypo__ous acid” -replace “per__ate” with “per___ic acid”
Naming Bases is the same as naming a metal bonded to a hydroxide ion.
Zero Sum Rule
The charges (atoms) are multiplied to get an overall charge of zero
(Charge of cation)(#atoms) + (Charge of anion)(#atoms) = 0
Criss Cross Rule
Cross the charges of the elements and bring down as the sign
Types of Reactions
Synthesis
2 or more elements combine to form a single compound. ~ A + B C
Decomposition
Is the reverse to a synthesis reaction. A compound breaks down into elements or other compounds ~ C A + B
Single Displacement
~ AB + C AC + B
Double Displacement
~ AB + CD AD + CB
Combustion
Reactions of a compound or element with oxygen gas to form the most common oxides of the elements that make up that compound.
*There are 2 types of combustion reactions; complete and incomplete combustion
*Complete combustion: *the reaction is very clean, no residue is produces. *energy, blue fame ex. CH4 + O2 CO2 (g) + H2O (g)
*Incomplete combustion: *the reaction is very dirty, residue is produced *Orange flame, camp fire ex. CH4 + O2 C (s) + CO (g) + CO2 + H2O
Note: heat and light are also produced in both these types of reactions
Chemical Quantities
Isotopic Abundance: The relative amount in which each isotope is present in an element
Average Atomic Mass: the average if the masses of all the elements isotopes
Weighted Average
Calculating Average Atomic Mass
Avogadro's Constant (NA)

Empirical Formulae & Molecular Formulae
Molecular Formula of a Hydrate
A hydrate is a compound that has a specific number of water molecules bound to each formula unit.
Ex. You need to calculate the percent by mass of water in the hydrate of barium hydroxide. You need to determine how many water molecules are bounded to each formula unit of Ba(OH)2 (s) to form the hydrate.
Step 1. Find the amount in moles of barium hydroxide in the sample. Then find the amount in moles of water in the sample.
Step 2. Divide both mole amounts by the smallest mole.
The numbers that are calculated in the end will be the coefficients of Ba(OH)2 H2O

Like Dissolves Like Rule ~Substances of the same type will be soluble within each other. i.e. Polar substances will be soluble in polar solvents and Non polar substances will be soluble in Non polar solvents
Intermolecular Forces
Dipole-Dipole
Exists between two polar molecules
Hydrogen Bonding
A special case of increased dipole-dipole
~ Occurs with molecules that contain, O-H, N-H and F-H
O, N and F
These atoms are highly electronegative and have a small atomic radius,
~ these bonds are very polar and the interaction between these molecules are very strong – greater than dipole-dipole
Ion-Dipole
Occurs between an ionic compound and a polar molecule
Exception – insoluble ionic compounds have stronger attraction with themselves than with the solvent
2 Factors must be considered with ionic compounds:
Ion Charge: the greater the charge, the greater the attraction and therefore the lower the solubility
Ion Size: the smaller the ion, the lower the solubility
~ As the non polar region increases the solubility in polar solvents will decrease, the solubility in non polar solvents will increase
Ex. Methanol, CH3OH Ethanol, CH3CH2OH Propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH
Non polar

Unit Five, Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry
Particle Theory of Matter
Matter is made up of tiny particles...particles refer to atoms, ions or molecules
Particles of matter are in constant motion
Particles of matter are held together by strong electric forces
There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large compared to the particles themselves
Each substance has unique particles of matter that are different from the particles of other substances
\Temperature affects the speed of the particles..higher T, the faster the speed of the particles
Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
A gas is composed of particles in constant motion.
The average kinetic energy depends on temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy and the faster the particles are moving.
Compared to the space through which they travel, the particles that make up the gas are so small that their volume can be ignored.
The individual particles are neither attracted to one another nor do they repel one another.
When particles collide with one another (or the walls of the container) they bounce rather than stick. These collisions are elastic; if one particle gains kinetic energy another loses kinetic energy so that the average remains constant.
Gas Pressure
Pressure is defined as the force that is exerted on an object per unit of surface area.
Pressure (kPa) = force (N) / area (m2)
A gas will exert pressure on the walls of the container the gas occupies
Atmospheric Pressure and Units
Earth's pressure at sea level is 101.3kPa, it changes due to weather. A Barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
Units: 760mmHg = 760 torr = 1 atm = 101.3 kPa
Boyle's Law
States that the volume at a given amount of gas at constant temperature varies inversely with applied pressure.
P1V1=P2V2
Kelvin Scale
Charles Graphed his results of V vs T and extrapolated his graph and determined that a gas has 0 volume at -273.
-237=0 K....absolute zero
To go from temperature in Kelvin add 273 to go to temperature in Celsius minus 273
Charles Law
The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is kept constant.
Gay Lussac's
States that the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its T in Kelvin.
Combined Gas Law
Combines Boyle's, Charles' and Lussac's laws...
STP and SATP
STP:
Temperature: 0 ~ 273 K
Pressure: 101.3 kPa
SATP:
Temperature: 25 ~ 298 K
Pressure: 101.3 kPa
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
Avogadro's Law
Equal volumes of all ideal gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules
Therefore, 1 mol of any gas occupies the same volume at the same T and P, assuming the volume of the gas molecule itself is negligible. Remember, the mass of 1 mol of gas is unique the volume is the same.
Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
R (constant) = 8.314 kPa x L/ mol x K
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures:
The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the individual pressures of each gas
Molar Volume
(L/mol) = V/n
Including water vapour pressure in gas Calculations
*When collecting gases by bubbling them through a water (displacement method), the pressure of the actual gas must be adjusted to take into account the pressure of the water vapour.
*In a sealed container (closed system) water molecules at the surface evaporate forming water vapour or gas phase water molecules. This causes an additional gas P called water vapour P. As T increases the solubility of gases in solution decreases, therefore more water molecules will become vapour, therefore water vapour P increases. Water vapour P changes with respect to T.
PH2O vapour @ 20 C = 2.34 kPa
PH2O vapour @ 25 C = 3.17 kPa
PH2O vapour @ 30 C = 4.24 kPa
When calculating volume of gas produced when collecting over water, the P of water vapour must be subtracted…"dry" gas

BIOLOGY STUDY GUIDE CHAPTER 4– THE CHEMICAL BASIS OF LIFE Matter = anything that takes up space and has mass (major types of matter = solid, liquid, and gas) Any type of matter is made of one or more elements. o Element = a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by regular chemical processes. (examples: gold, silver, mercury, etc.) There are approximately 25 elements necessary for life. • Examples: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous, etc. • Trace elements = those elements that make up less than 0.01 percent of your body mass (examples: iodine, iron, copper, etc.) Compounds = a substance containing two or more elements; these elements are always present in this compound in the same ratio o For instance, water is a compound where hydrogen and oxygen are combined. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water is always 2:1. (Remember that the chemical formula of water is H2O.) o Compounds have different characteristics than the elements that make them up. (Water is liquid at room temperature, but when hydrogen and oxygen are by themselves, they are gases at room temperature.) Atoms = smallest possible piece of an element o A better definition of an atom may be: the most basic unit of matter that cannot be broken down into smaller pieces by ordinary chemical methods. o This can be confusing, because when you read the above definition or when you start looking at the periodic table in class, is oxygen an atom or an element? o An element is essentially the same as an atom. Why do we bother with two different words? • An element is the most common version of an atom. The element you see on the periodic table for oxygen is the most common version of the oxygen atom that exists in nature. There are several different kinds of oxygen atoms (with different numbers of neutrons than the one found on the table), but they are not as commonly found in nature.
