The Chemical Earth
![Page 2: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why study chemistry?
The Earth includes the biosphere, lithosphere,
hydrosphere and atmosphere. Each of these is a
mixture of thousands of different substances, many
of which are useful to us if we: have an understanding of the properties of the
elements and compounds that make up the Earth’s materials
develop efficient processes for separating useful materials

Classification of matter
Pure substances have a fixed composition and fixed properties. They cannot be decomposed by simple physical separation techniques.
Mixtures have variable composition and variable properties. They can be separated into their components by various physical separation techniques.
![Page 5: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Elements
Pure substances can be further classified into
elements and compounds. Elements are the simplest pure substances
consisting of only one type of atom. They cannot be broken down (or decomposed).
![Page 6: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Compounds
Compounds are also pure substances. They are composed of two or more elements that are chemically bonded together. They are composed of a fixed number of atoms of each component element. They can be decomposed into their component elements or into simpler compounds.
![Page 7: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mixtures
The particles of each component in homogeneous mixtures are distributed uniformly (eg: sugar dissolved in water).
The particles in heterogeneous mixtures are not distributed uniformly (eg: concrete)
![Page 8: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chemical analysis
Chemical analysis is the process of finding out what
is present in a particular chemical sample.
Chemical analysis can be: Qualitative – determining what substances are
present Quantitative – determining how much of each
substance is present in a sample.
![Page 9: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Gravimetric analysis
Gravimetric analysis involves separating the components of a material and accurately determining their mass. The percentage composition of the material can then be calculated. Gravimetric analysis can be used to determine the:
composition of a mixture using physical separation techniques
% composition of a compound using chemical and physical separation techniques.
![Page 10: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Elements
Elements consist of atoms of the same type. Many
elements exist in nature as molecules. Monatomic molecules: consist of only one atom
(eg: noble gases) Diatomic molecules: a molecule in which two
atoms are bonded together. Polyatomic molecules: a molecule of more than
two atoms bonded together
![Page 11: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reactivity of elements
Elements vary in their tendency to react. Elements
that react readily (eg: calcium, sodium) are usually
found combined with other elements as
compounds. On the other hand elements such as
gold which have low reactivity are often found in
their pure form.
![Page 12: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Metals
Relatively high densities Good conductors of heat and electricity Malleable and ductile Shiny surface when freshly cut of cleaned Relatively high melting points
![Page 13: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Non-metals
State and form is variable (oxygen is a gas, bromine a liquid, sulfur a solid)
Usually not lustrous Poor conductors heat and electricity Not malleable or ductile Variable melting points
![Page 14: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Atomic theory
An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Protons: positively charged particle Neutrons: neutral Electrons: negatively charged particle
In an uncharged atom:
number of protons = number of electrons
![Page 15: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The nucleus
Contains protons and neutrons. Has a positive charge equal to the number of
protons Contains about 99.9% of the mass of the atom Extremely dense Electrons move in space outside the nucleus
![Page 16: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Atomic number and atomic mass
Atomic number (Z): number of protons in the nucleus and is fixed for any one element. (NB: In an uncharged atom this will also be the number of electrons)
Atomic mass (A): sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
![Page 17: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Atomic number and atomic mass
Atomic mass = atomic number + number of neutrons
OR
A = Z + number of neutrons
Therefore:
A - Z = number of neutrons
![Page 18: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Atomic number and atomic mass
AZ X
X is the element symbol
A is the atomic mass
Z is the atomic number
![Page 19: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Electrons
Electrons are believed to exist in energy levels or shells. The maximum number of electrons in each shell is determined by the formula 2n2 (where n = shell number 1, 2, 3, 4, etc). So:
1st shell: can hold a maximum of 2 electrons 2nd shell: can hold a maximum of 8 electrons 3rd shell: can hold a maximum of 18 electrons 4th shell: can hold a maximum of 32 electrons
![Page 20: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Electron configuration
The pattern of electrons in each shell is called the
electron configuration. When determining the
electron configuration of an atom the general rule is:
Starting from the innermost shell, each electron
shell or energy level must be filled before moving
to the next energy level or shell.
NB: potassium and calcium are exceptions
![Page 21: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sodium
This means an atom of Sodium has 11 protons,
11electrons and and 12 neutrons.
Therefore electrons are arranged as: First shell = 2 electrons Second Shell = 8 electrons Third shell = 1 electron
1123Na
![Page 22: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Valence energy level
The outermost shell of an atom is referred to as the valence energy level. Similarly, the electrons that occupy the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
In the periodic table elements with the same number of valence electrons occur in the same column or group.
![Page 23: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Octet rule
In general, atoms are
most stable when they
have 8 electrons in their
outer-most shell. This
accounts for the lack of
reactivity of the noble
gases.
![Page 24: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ions
Elements can achieve stable electron configurations
by losing or gaining electrons. In doing so they form
ions.
Positively charged ions (cations) are formed when one or more electrons are removed from an atom.
Negatively charged ions (anions) are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons
![Page 25: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Electron dot diagrams
Electron dot diagrams are a way of showing the
arrangement of valence electrons in atoms. For
example:1 valence electron
2 valence electrons
7 valence electrons
6 valence electrons
![Page 26: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Electron dot diagrams and ionic bonds
Electron dot diagrams can also be used to show
the formation of ions.
Question: why will these two ions be attracted to each other and form an ionic bond?
![Page 27: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Polyatomic ions
Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms bonded to
one another that have a net positive or negative
charge. The carbonate ion is an example of a
polyatomic ion.
Polyatomic ions often
have the suffix “ate” or
“ite”.
3CO2-
The subscript indicates that there are 3 oxygen atoms
The superscript 2- indicates that there are two more electrons than the total number of protons possessed by the four atoms
![Page 28: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Covalent bonds
Covalent bonds are formed when adjacent atoms
share electrons. For example, a chlorine atom has
the electron configuration (2, 8, 7). Two chlorine
atoms can combine to form a chlorine molecule Cl2
by sharing a pair of electrons (each atom
contributes one electron).
![Page 29: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 30: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Electron dot diagrams and covalent bonds
Molecules are a group of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Bonds in which two electrons are shared are called single covalent bonds and can be represented by a line drawn between the atoms H–H.
![Page 31: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Electron dot diagrams and covalent bonds
The number of covalent bonds formed by an atom depends on the number of valence electrons.
In forming the molecule O2, each oxygen accepts a share of two electrons from the other atom. Hence four electrons are shared by the two oxygen atoms. This is called a double covalent bond: O=O
![Page 32: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ionic or covalent?
If one member of a pair of atoms wants to gain electrons while the other wants to lose electrons then the pair will form an ionic bond. If both members want to gain electrons then they will form covalent bonds.Question: Will Group I elements tend to form ionic bonds or
covalent bonds? What about Group 6 elements?
![Page 33: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ValencyThe valency of an element is a measure of its
“combining power” (the number of bonds it can form). When an element forms ionic compounds the
valency is the charge the atom carries.
Ex: Na+ = +1 valency When an element forms covalent compounds
valency is the number of covalent bonds the atom forms.
Ex: water is H-O-H, the valency of O = 2 and H = 1
![Page 34: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Formula ionic compounds
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral – therefore the number of negative charges must equal the number of positive charges.
Ex: NaCl – the numbers of sodium and chloride ions is equal.
If the charges on the ions are not equal then there will be more ions with the smaller charge.
Ex: the compound formed between Ca2+ and Cl-
is CaCl2 (there are 2 Cl ions for each Ca ion)
![Page 35: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Naming ionic compounds
The following naming rules apply to ionic compounds:
1. The cation (positive ion) is named first2. The anion (negative ion) is named second3. The suffix ‘ide’ is added to the non-metal in
simple binary compounds (compounds made up of only two elements)
Ex: NaCl = sodium chloride
![Page 36: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Formula covalent molecular compounds
In covalent compounds the formula represents the
number of atoms of each element in one molecule of
the compound. This is also called the molecular
formula.
Ex: H2O – two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen
![Page 37: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Naming molecular compounds
1. The name of the element closer to the bottom or left-hand side of the periodic table is written first.
2. The the suffix ‘-ide’ is added to the end of the name of the second element.
3. The number of atoms of each element is indicated by the prefixes ‘mono-’, ‘di-’, ‘tri-’, ‘tetra-’, ‘penta-’ or hexa-’, which stand for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively.
NB: prefix ‘mono-’ is not used for the first-named element.
![Page 38: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Chemical equations
In a chemical reaction the arrangement of atoms
is changed to produce new substances but atoms
are neither destroyed or created eg: mass is
conserved.
Chemical reactions are represented by chemical
equations.
![Page 39: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Writing chemical equations
Reactants are on the left and products are on the right eg:
magnesium + oxygen magnesium oxide
Coefficients written IN FRONT of formulas show the number of particles of that substance eg:
2Mg = 2 atoms of magnesium Physical state of reactants and products is shown
by (g), (l), (s) – gas, liquid, solid
![Page 40: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Writing chemical equations
The number of atoms of each element must be the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation eg:
2Mg + O2 2MgO
2 x Mg 2 x Mg
2 x O 2 x O
The sum of the electrical charges on the left must equal that on the right
![Page 41: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Balancing equations
Balancing a chemical equation is done by
changing the coefficients in front of the formulas.
1. Write the word equation
2. Write the formula for all elements and compounds present
3. Alter the coefficients to balance the number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation
4. Write in the physical states
![Page 42: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Decomposition reactions
Decomposition is a chemical reaction in which a
compound is broken down into their constituent
elements or simpler compounds. This is achieved
by adding energy as: Heat (thermal decomposition) Light Electricity (electrolysis)
![Page 43: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Synthesis reactions
Synthesis is the process of forming a compound
from its component elements or other compounds in
a laboratory. It leads to the formation of a more
complex substance. For example, ammonia can be
synthesised directly by combining nitrogen and
hydrogen gases at high temperatures and
pressures.
![Page 44: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Bond energy
A chemical change generally involves the
absorption or release of greater quantities of
energy than a physical change.
Reason: A chemical change involves the breaking of chemical bonds
![Page 45: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Covalent & ionic bonding
In covalent bonds electrons are shared between atoms. The energy required to separate atoms joined by a covalent bond is referred to as the bond energy.
Ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic
attraction between oppositely charge ions. The
energy required to break ionic bonds is referred to as the lattice energy.
![Page 46: The Chemical Earth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568138ff550346895da0b737/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Bonding and Physical Properties
All substances are made up of atoms, molecules or ions. It is the organisation of these particles that determines the physical properties of a substance. Solids can be classified into four groups on the basis of their physical properties:
Ionic compounds Covalent molecular compounds Covalent network compounds Metallic substances
