Overview of Atomic Structure and Isotopes
- The atomic number on the periodic table represents the number of protons in a neutral atom.
- The atomic mass is a weighted average based on the isotopes of an element.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
- Example: Boron-10 and Boron-11 differ in neutron count.
- Most elements have multiple isotopes; exceptions include aluminum, fluorine, and phosphorus.
- Mass spectrometry helps determine isotope abundance and atomic mass through graphical data. For a deeper understanding of isotopes, check out Understanding Atoms: Structure, Particles, and Elements.
Understanding Elements, Ions, and Compounds
- Elements can be metals, non-metals, or metalloids, identifiable by their position and color coding on the periodic table.
- Ionic compounds form between metals (cations) and non-metals (anions), involving electron transfer. For more on ionic compounds, see Understanding Ions and Ionic Bonds in Chemistry.
- Molecular compounds consist of non-metals sharing electrons.
- Seven diatomic elements (e.g., H2, N2) naturally exist as molecules.
- Transition metals can have multiple charges, indicated by Roman numerals in compound names.
- Zinc and silver are exceptions with fixed charges (+2 and +1 respectively).
Polyatomic Ions and Naming Conventions
- Polyatomic ions mostly carry negative charges; ammonium is the only common positive polyatomic ion.
- Oxygen-containing ions follow naming patterns: hypo- (lowest oxygen), -ite (fewer oxygens), -ate (more oxygens), and per- (most oxygens).
- Naming ionic compounds requires balancing charges and using correct suffixes (e.g., -ide for non-metals).
- Transition metals require Roman numerals to indicate charge.
Coulomb's Law and Ionic Bonding
- Coulomb's law explains that electrostatic attraction increases with higher charges and decreases with greater distance between ions.
- This affects bond length, lattice energy, and melting points of ionic compounds.
- Examples: MgO has a higher melting point than NaCl due to stronger ionic attraction.
- Understanding this law aids in predicting physical properties of compounds.
Mole Concept and Molar Mass Calculations
- One mole contains Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23) of particles.
- Molar mass is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a compound. For a comprehensive overview of molar mass, refer to Understanding Atomic Structure: From Atoms to Subatomic Particles.
- Hydrates include water molecules; their molar mass accounts for both the compound and water.
- Dimension analysis converts between grams and moles, emphasizing significant figures.
Percent Composition and Empirical Formulas
- Percent composition is the mass percentage of each element in a compound.
- Empirical formulas represent the simplest whole-number ratio of elements.
- Steps to find empirical formula:
- Convert percent to grams (assuming 100 g sample).
- Convert grams to moles.
- Divide all mole values by the smallest mole value.
- Multiply to get whole numbers if necessary.
- Molecular formulas are multiples of empirical formulas, determined by comparing molecular mass to empirical mass.
Naming and Working with Hydrates
- Hydrates are ionic compounds with water molecules attached.
- Naming includes the ionic compound name plus a prefix indicating the number of water molecules (e.g., monohydrate, pentahydrate).
- Heating hydrates removes water, producing anhydrous salts.
- Lab exercises involve determining hydrate formulas by measuring mass loss upon heating.
Additional Notes
- Mass spectrometry also helps identify functional groups in organic compounds (beyond AP Chemistry scope).
- The lesson emphasizes practice with naming, formula writing, and problem-solving to build confidence.
- Upcoming units will cover electron configuration, periodic trends, covalent bonding, intermolecular forces, and acids. For a broader context on periodic trends, see Comprehensive Overview of Periodic Table and Key Concepts in Chemistry.
This comprehensive review consolidates foundational chemistry knowledge, preparing students for advanced topics and assessments.
hello AP cam Squad here we are with our chapter 2 lesson uh make sure you guys have a notebook ready and a quiet place
to uh listen to the videos again it is a review from what uh you already have done in your chem one classes
so let's get ready and so if you look at the periodic table the number on the top is representing the
atomic number that is the number of protons in a neutral atom and the number that is at the bottom is representing
the weighted average which is based on the atomic mass which is based on the Isotopes so let's look at that
so now what is an isotope isotope is the basic definition is atom of the same element but different mass number that
means the number of protons are the same but the number of electrons are different so if you look at this example
Boron 10 we can say that it is 5 protons by looking at the periodic table based on the mass number we can say it is 5
neutrons if the mass number is 11 that means the number of neutrons are different the proton is something that
is specific to an element most of the elements have at least two or three Isotopes however aluminum fluorine and
phosphorus are the only elements that have one isotope here are isotopes of hydrogen so if
you're looking at this example over here as you can see that the number of protons are the same but it is the
number of neutrons that are different and these are the different isotopes now if water is uh having the different
isotope the mass and the density is going to be different so that is something that you should be able to
remember and understand now how do we Mass spectrometer is an instrument that is used to help us
figure out the abundance of each of those Isotopes and based on their masses you will end up getting a different
projection on a screen and you get a graph that tells you the abundance of each isotope with a certain Mass so you
don't have to know how a mass spectrometer works but we will work on how you should be able to read a graph
that is generated by a mass spectrometer so here is the actual masses of the atoms are always less than the sum of
the masses of the subatomic particles because of the mass effect if you know the masses and you know the
abundance you can calculate the atomic mass here is the formula that you all should know so if you want to write it
down I would recommend writing it down atomic mass is percent abundance you have to train the person to a number by
dividing it by 100 multiply by the mass of the first isotope at the percent abundance and my mass of the second
isotope depending upon how many are there you will keep doing it this is what is called the weighted average of
the Isotopes this is basic important fundamental formula that you should be able to use
so let's look at this example Boron is 19.9 percent Boron 10 80.9 percent is border on 11 so you can use the formula
over here and you are able to figure out so instead of you you are going to use the
formula as a m u so here's the problem try to pause the video and see if you can solve it
take a minute read so if you look at this problem first you are going to uh in this case because
I've only given the two isotopes you could just add the mass divided by two you get the average
the numerical values therefore you could say that the percent abundance of each of this isotope is 50
because they were just two of them that were given to you and the masses were very equal
now elements molecules ions and compounds so we should be able to understand a difference between an
element this is an ionic compound which is between a metal and a non-metal this is a molecular compound because it is
all nonmetals and this is an element by itself the other type of elements that you
should know are the diatomic elements there are seven diatomic elements and if you look over here this is hydrogen two
and this kind of makes a 7 on the periodic table so you should always remember that you're going to write them
in this way the other thing you should be able to identify on the periodic table is the
elements um where which are your Metals so everything that is blue over here are
all your Metals everything that is orange over here are your non-metals hydrogen is a non-metal and everything
that is green here are your metalloids so make sure you're able to identify you should be able to identify the charges
of them and that metals lose electrons to form a cation and non-metals gain electrons to form an anion so these are
your anions you should be able to identify the charges of all of them so this one are plus one plus two plus
three this can be plus or minus four minus 3 minus two minus 1 and noble gases are zero now when you look at the
transition elements over here these transition elements can have multiple charges so we're going to talk a little
bit about it so as I showed you in the slide when you look at a metal metal is going to lose
the periodic table sorry if you look at the metal it will lose an electron and sodium loses one electron as a result it
has a plus one magnesium has to lose two electrons aluminum has to lose three electrons and just we'll talk in our
next unit but the elements lose electrons to have an octet of electrons to get stability
now if you have a transition metal you use a Roman number over here to show the charge on them so the Roman number is
representing the child charge on the transition metal so as I showed you these are a few of
the elements here are the charges uh when you're naming the compounds you have to remember the name of the metal
Remains the Same but the name of the non-metal ends with an IDE so here are some examples once again
pause the video see if you guys can figure out the common charges by just looking at the periodic table I have
showed you how we can actually it comes from an electron configuration in case you do not remember how to do all this
electron configuration we are going to talk about that in chapter in unit 3. but at this point if you're able to look
at the periodic table and identify the charges it is good enough so one thing that I would like to reinforce here
remember zinc always has a charge of plus two silver always has a charge of plus one so those are the two transition
metals that you will not use a Roman number because they do not have multiple charges
now if you look at nickel how would you figure out the chart because it's a transition element you basically look at
the highest energy level which is 4s2 so you are going to remove the electrons from the highest energy level and as a
result the charge on nickel is plus two and if you look at gallium now if you look at gallium it is plus three because
we have 4s2 and 4p1 they both are in the fourth energy level so we'll be able to remove the electrons from both of them
so this is how you would do it for the transition elements if you look at zinc this is for S2 so you always remove the
electrons from the highest energy level and that is the charge on those elements you have to memorize all the polyatomic
ions it is not something they're going to ask you but it is expected that you know
them or hopefully most of you have memorized it in your cam one classes here is the list in case you do not have
it I would recommend uh taking a screenshot of it and saving it here ammonium is the only polyatomic ion
that has a positive charge all the other polyatomic ions have a negative charge these are the most common ones that some
of us forget is so the way you would remember is hypo is the lowest number so the least number of oxygen hypochlorite
just chloride you add one more oxygen the charge is the same on all of them chlorate eight always has one oxygen
more than the eye time like sulfate sulfate is so4 2 minus and sulfite is so32 minus so ite has one less oxygen
than 80. so this should help you with that and perchlorate is clo4 now instead of
perchlorate if I made it per bromate everything Remains the Same the only thing that changes is BR instead of
chlorine so make sure you these are the common ones that you would see make sure you know these polyatomic ions
here are some more examples see if you guys can figure out the charges of all of them
and if we look again I'm just showing you the electron configurations which I just went over on the previous slide
see if you knew those for chlorate ion and try to practice I'm not going over all this you can look at
those and I'm sure you should be able to remember this from your camera classes foreign
if you need to take time to see how the charges are once again if you do not know how to write the electronic
electron configuration at this point or you have forgotten from your chem1 classes we are going to go over it later
on now how to write a ionic compound and how to write the name of a compound and
how to come up with a formula this is something that is expected in class you we cannot afford to do make mistakes in
writing the correct formula so as we are looking over here calcium carbonate that's a name here is a
Formula it is formed with two ions calcium two plus we just went over how you can figure out the charges of an
element on the periodic table and know the uh polyatomic ions now the rule of
writing an ionic compound is that it is between a cation and the ation the ionic compounds are stable because the metal
wants to lose electron and the non-metal wants to gain electrons so there's a complete transfer of electrons so if you
look at this example magnesium wants to lose two electrons fluorine wants to gain one electron so therefore we have
to have two fluorines in order for magnesium to be able to give two of them therefore the correct formula of this is
MGF MGF 2 because you're using two of the Florence I hope you all know how to
write the uh formulas correctly now look at this example over here try to identify which are the correct
formulas and which are wrong uh take a minute and pause it and see what you come up with and then look over the
slides to see the answers so if you look over here the first one was incorrect just I'll go over one of
the example here because as you looked at the periodic table and saw that aluminum has a charge of plus three
chlorine has a charge of minus one as a result we are going to need three chlorine and the correct formula is
going to be aluminum chloride and this one is also wrong because of the charges as you can see on the
periodic table right I hope you all did great with this question
now here I have given you the name the formulas go ahead and try to see if you can name them try to make sure you have
already memorized your polyatomic ions at this point when you're working on it and if you're not able to recall some go
back and look at them and make an effort to memorize those so I hope you did that right potassium
actually sorry it should be potassium sulfide not potassium iodide sorry for that mistake here
now one thing over here to remember is Cobalt sulfate because it is a transition metal you cannot just write
Cobalt sulfate as the name you have to specify a Roman number when it is a transition metal
I hope you all did that ammonium phosphate and clo2 is chlorate therefore calcium hypochlorite
all right I hope you all are doing great with this now here I have given you the names of
the compound pause it and see if you can write down the formulas of them so first thing is when the name is given
you identify the charges now you balance the charges since this is plus one and this is minus two so you would need two
of ammonium therefore when it's a polyatomic ion you put a parenthesis around it and that is going to be
ammonium carbonate foreign the name does not change while if it is
a binary compound we have to remember that the non-metal ends with an IDE therefore calcium iodide
now when we look at this the Roman number is plus two again it's a binary compound it's not important that you
know if it is a binary compound or not but that says calcium bromide aluminum
phosphate and silver acetate now over here again this is not right as I'm seeing this you
do not put a Roman number for Silver acetate because silver always has a charge of plus one so you do not have to
use a Roman number for Silver and for zinc now here are some more compounds let's
see if you can name them now the point over here is you cannot just name NF as
nitrogen fluoride because it is basically a molecular compound so if you made a mistake over here and you were
not able to differentiate we'll just go over the slide for the rules when it is starting with an H you have to remember
that it is an acid um the name of the acid is hydroiodic acid if you do not remember how to name
the acid first week of school we will go over naming Assets in class so don't worry about it if at this point uh you
are struggling a little bit with that but naming ionic compounds and molecular compounds are important
here again this is a molecular compound so it is going to be phosphorus Penta iodide
so I hope you all were able to differentiate those things I will have a slide in a minute about uh
the molecular compounds now here this is the only concept that you have not learned in your chem 1 classes which is
Coulomb's law basically what Coulomb's law is saying as the iron charges increases that traction increases so if
there is a going to be a compound any Plus versus CL minus compared to mg plus two and oxygen minus two there is going
to be more attraction between magnesium and oxygen there because of the coulomb slot is going to be more attracted to
each other while n a plus and cl minus are going to be less attractive which is going to affect their bond length so you
should be able to look at them and see which one have more attractive phosphates more attracted they are more
ionic characteristic they have more lattice energy would be needed again we are going to talk about it later on as
the distance between the ion increases the attractive forces decreases so over here this will decrease
and as the charges increase attractive forces increase so this is all you need to know you're not going to be expected
to solve using this formula so you can see that this is an inverse relationship between distance and the force and the
charges and the forces are direct relationship okay once again do not worry about any
problem solving for this uh you will be doing so this is what electrostatic attractions are forces when you look at
an ionic compound they are in a lattice structure arranged and they are attracted by electrostatic forces you
will be doing a simulation uh after you've finished watching this video which will help you understand a little
bit more about the Coulomb's law and how the attractive forces work so make sure you do that after that you will start
working on the assignment on this chapter once again this is just another slide
over here trying to show you over here so if you're looking at these charges the bond length is going to be smaller
and while if the charges are higher the bond length the attractive forces are more and the distance is going to be
larger once again try to understand the basic we'll go over this in class little bit more in detail since it's a New
Concept so do your best and the simulation should really help you guys
so the importance why we are talking about this because it helps us predict the melting point so if you look at NaCl
has a melting point of 100 and 804 while the melting point of Naf is 993 so can anybody take a minute and
think why that is and so basically over here if you're looking at it the charges are same for
or both of them they are plus one and minus one but now the distance for fluorine fluorine is much smaller than
that chlorine so since it is smaller the attractive forces are stronger and as a result the melting point of any f is
much higher than that of NaCl so the larger distance makes NaCl have a lower melting point I hope you were able to
make that connection so that is an application that you should be able to understand at this point
now if you look at this another example look at the same idea any plus and oxygen is minus two but if you look over
here calcium and oxygen they both have plus two and minus two so higher charges and as you can see that the melting
point is much higher of calcium oxide than that of sodium oxide so this example is trying to show you the effect
of the charge higher the charge higher the melting point now Coulomb's law is something that we
are going to keep talking in many several units and we will be talking more about it right now we have just
focused on this part you do not worry about this but understanding this effect and being able to apply it when a
problem is given we are going to talk about the periodic trends and talk in more details the next slide is also
showing you what are all the places that we are going to use this so you can just read
as of now here is an example so you should be able to understand in terms of ionic bonding at this point we will talk
more about covalent bonding periodic trends uh imf's solution unit and we'll talk about the polyprotic acid so
Coulomb's law is a very essential law that we are going to use to help us understand many other Concepts in
chemistry all right so the next unit is mole I'm sure you all remember more from your
classes and have done a lot of Dimension analysis um
so we'll be using it is a quantitative way of measuring in chemistry uh one mole uh is the amount of substance that
contains as many particles so it is 12 grams of carbon contains how many molecules that is where we got the
number 6.02 times 10 raised to 23. so when come small comes the molar mass I hope you all remember how to find the
molar mass of each compound so if aspirin is given to you carb c9h804 you multiply 9 by the mass of the
average atomic mass which is on the periodic table the bottom number hydrogen a times the molar mass of
hydrogen oxygen you add them all together and the unit is grams per mole if you're looking at a hydrate this is a
hydrate copper Roman number two chloride dihydrate in the molar mass you add the mass of the water
here is a molar mass of the other compounds so you should be able to figure out the molar mass of the
compound once again I hope you all remember this from your chem1 classes now once you have calculated the mass if
certain mass is given you should be able to convert it into moles using Dimension analysis you have to show all the work
so if this is the grams of carbon I have you get this number from the periodic table these many grams is one mole and
as a result you know how many moles it is and again at this point you will have to remember sickness significant figures
they're important though it is just one point I will be emphasizing that one point on every assessment on one of the
problem so let's try to do this problem pause the video for a minute and see if you
guys can do it here I've given you the moons of propanol actually this problem is already solved here you will
calculate the molar mass of the propanol if it's a compound you cannot just directly get it you have to do extra
steps to help you get the molar mass so here I've showed you how you do that
three from carbon seven is coming from hydrogen now be careful there is one more here so therefore I have eight here
and we have one oxygen and these numbers here we guard them from the periodic table you add them all together and you
end up getting the molar mass and then you can convert the moles into how many grams it is
now person composition is another concept that probably you all remember it is basically if a compound is given
you take that atoms of each element multiplied by its atomic weight and divide by the total mass of the compound
that is a molar mass times 100 will give you the percent composition here is an example for the compound that
is given to you most of you did a great job with this in your chem 1 classes I'm not that worried uh so I hope you all
these numbers are making sense how to do it but make sure you are able to do this problems and you will get practice once
you will work on your chapter to assignment these are very simple steps but they are
very important they are uh one or two steps of the bigger problems that you will be doing uh as we move along
right so I hope this makes sense so here's another example what is the person composition of calcium hydroxide
figure that out not reading over I'm sure most of you all this is making sense it's just a
quick review of what you already have done enough in your classes now the next concept was empirical
formula a pure compound always consists of same elements combined in the same proportion and therefore we can take
their person weight now if you look at uh if you know the percent of each of those compound we can figure out the
empirical formula in certain cases empirical formula and the molecular formulas are same sometimes they are not
empirical formula only show the simplest ratio ionic compounds represent their simplest so ionic compounds are
empirical formulas molecular formulas show the actual composition of the compound so let's see how we are going
to convert an empirical formula to a molecular formula so here is the steps if you are given
the percent first thing is you convert the percent into grams so we assume we have 100 grams of substance then you
convert the grams into moles because when you are looking at why you're converting into more what
this is telling you that if I have this one mole of water it needs two moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen so this
is the lowest mole ratio of the elements to form this compound so you convert that grams into moles now whichever
element has a lower moles you that becomes a number one and you divide everything else by that lowest mode so
you get the ratio and here you end up getting the empirical formula of the compound
but so here is an example you are given the percent of the
elements since you were given the person you converted into grams then you convert the grams into moles
now once you have the moles of both of them since we have lower moles of boron you multiply both have divide by 7.5
moles now if you do not get the whole number you have to multiply this by two now you
are not just going to multiply one of them by two this is a very common mistake that the many students do is you
also have to multiply Boron though you've got one over here you have to multiply that also by two therefore the
empirical formula of this compound is b2h5 great so these are basic problems you
would be seeing on your first unit one test now how are you want to convert an
empirical formula to a molecular formula so once you know the empirical Mass and you know the molecular to figure out
the molecular formula if the molecular mass is given to you basically what you have to figure out the N value to figure
out your n value the formula is molecular molecular mass
divided by the empirical Mass and most of the time you will get a round number so let's say if you get
1.98 you are going to assume that the N value is 2. if you get 3.99 you're going to make it 4. that is your end so
whatever let's say we got a empirical formula as c2h5o2 now your n value and you were
given the molecular formula and you get the number two you multiply the entire empirical formula by 2 and as
a result the molecular formula this compound will be C4 h10o4 okay next time I'll make sure I use a
better color I'm sorry for the bad color Choice here so here is the formula that is given to
you so molar molecular formula divided by the empirical formula amplical mass will give you the N value
I just showed you in the previous slide so here uh just uh extension of the first problem we
already figured out the empirical formula of the compound now what will be the molecular formula they have given
you the molar mass of the compound so you know the molar mass from our empirical formula that we had calculated
in our previous slide you will have the empirical Mass you divide it you get two units and as a result this is your
molecular formula of this component I hope this is making sense and you are happy to recall most of the stuff and
feeling proud of yourself if you're able to recall all this give a pet back give a pet to yourself
now we are going to be doing this is going to be our first lab that we'll be doing within the first week is where
we'll be given in hydrate so you should know how to name and hydrate you name the ionic compound the way you name an
ionic compound whatever the end value is so let's say if it is one you say monohydrate five you will
say pentahydrate hexahydrate that is how you would name them right so here is a slide showing you how
you name and hydrate now what will we are going to do a lab where we are going to take and hydrate
so just imagine if we're going to take and hydrate and you're going to heat it up you're going to get rid of the water
so uh ionic compound that does not have water is called a anhydrous salt so if you have the mass of anhydrous salt and
you have the hydrate you can figure out the mass of the water that is lost and then
you can do the mole ratio for them knowing the mass and the identity of this once you know it you can figure out
the N value which is moles of water from the hydrate and the moles of the anhydrous salt so if you know the grams
you can convert it and as a result you can figure out if your hydrate is a dihydrate pentahydrate or a heptahydrate
so you'll be doing this lab where you'll be given an unknown hydrate and you will have to figure out what type of hydrate
it is you're going to get a copper salt and just to show you that mass spectroscopy is further used so when you
figure out a molecular formula mass spectroscopy can be used to help us figure out the functional groups on a
compound which again organic chemistry is not on our AP course so you do not have to worry about but that there's
another application of a mass spectrophenometer all right so that is it from me on
