1 amu, determined using atomic number, nuclear charge
Neutrons: no charge, determines identity of isotope of an
element, 1 amu, determined using mass number - atomic
number (amu = atomic mass unit)
32 S and 33 S are both isotopes of S
16
16
S-32 has 16 protons and 16 neutrons
S-33 has 16 protons and 17 neutrons
All atoms of S have a nuclear charge of +16 due to the 16
protons.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Isotopes
 Atoms of the same element MUST contain the same
number of protons.
 Atoms of the same element can vary in their numbers of
neutrons, therefore many different atomic masses can exist
for any one element. These are called isotopes.
 The atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the weightaverage atomic mass, taking into account the different
isotope masses and their relative abundance.
 Rounding off the atomic mass on the Periodic Table will
tell you what the most common isotope of that element is.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Weight-Average Atomic Mass
 WAM = ((% A of A/100) X Mass of A) + ((% A of B/100) X Mass of B) + …
 What is the WAM of an element if its isotope masses and
abundances are:
– X-200: Mass = 200.0 amu, % abundance = 20.0 %
– X-204: Mass = 204.0 amu, % abundance = 80.0%
– amu = atomic mass unit (1.66 × 10-27 kilograms/amu)
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Most Common Isotope
 The weight-average atomic mass of Zinc is
65.39 amu. What is the most common isotope
of Zinc? Zn-65!
 What are the most common isotopes of:
– Co
–S
Ag
Pb
 FACT: one atomic mass unit (1.66 × 10-27
kilograms) is defined as 1/12 of the mass of an
atom of C-12.
 This method doesn’t always work, but it usually
(c) 2006,

does. Use
it for
the
Regents exam.
Natural Radioactivity
 Alpha Decay
 Beta Decay
 Positron Decay
 Gamma Decay
 Charges of Decay Particles
 Natural decay starts with a parent
nuclide that ejects a decay particle to
form a daughter nuclide which is more
stable than the parent nuclide was.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Alpha Decay
 The nucleus ejects two protons and two neutrons. The
atomic mass decreases by 4, the atomic number decreases
by 2.
 23892U 
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Beta Decay
 A neutron decays into a proton and an electron. The
electron is ejected from the nucleus as a beta particle. The
atomic mass remains the same, but the atomic number
increases by 1.
 146C 
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Positron Decay
 A proton is converted into a neutron and a positron. The
positron is ejected by the nucleus. The mass remains the
same, but the atomic number decreases by 1.
 5326Fe 
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Gamma Decay
 The nucleus has energy levels just like electrons, but the
involve a lot more energy. When the nucleus becomes
more stable, a gamma ray may be released. This is a
photon of high-energy light, and has no mass or charge.
The atomic mass and number do not change with gamma.
Gamma may occur by itself, or in conjunction with any
other decay type.

Half-Life
 Half life is the time it takes for half of
the nuclei in a radioactive sample to
undergo decay.
 Problem Types:
– Going forwards in time
– Going backwards in time
– Radioactive Dating
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Going Forwards in Time
 How many grams of a 10.0 gram sample of I-131 (half-life
of 8 days) will remain in 24 days?
 #HL = t/T = 24/8 = 3
 Cut 10.0g in half 3 times: 5.00, 2.50, 1.25g
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Going Backwards in Time
 How many grams of a 10.0 gram sample of I-131 (half-life
of 8 days) would there have been 24 days ago?
 #HL = t/T = 24/8 = 3
 Double 10.0g 3 times: 20.0, 40.0, 80.0 g
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Radioactive Dating
 A sample of an ancient scroll contains 50% of the original
steady-state concentration of C-14. How old is the scroll?
 50% = 1 HL
 1 HL X 5730 y/HL = 5730y

 Devices that use electromagnetic fields to accelerate
particle “bullets” towards target nuclei to make artificial
transmutation possible!
 Most of the elements from 93 on up (the “transuranium”
elements) were created using particle accelerators.
 Particles with no charge cannot be accelerated by the
charged fields.

Electron Configuration
 Basic Configuration
 Valence Electrons
 Electron-Dot (Lewis Dot) Diagrams
 Excited vs. Ground State
 What is Light?
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Basic Configuration
 The number of electrons is determined from the atomic
number.
 Look up the basic configuration below the atomic number
on the periodic table. (PEL: principal energy level = shell)
 He: 2 (2 e- in the 1st PEL)
 Na: 2-8-1 (2 e- in the 1st PEL, 8 in the 2nd and 1 in the
3rd)
 Br: 2-8-18-7 (2 e- in the 1st PEL, 8 in the 2nd, 18 in the
3rd and 7 in the 4th)
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Valence Electrons
 The valence electrons are responsible for all chemical




bonding.
The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost
PEL (shell).
He: 2 (2 valence electrons)
Na: 2-8-1 (1 valence electron)
Br: 2-8-18-7 (7 valence electrons)
 The maximum number of valence electrons an atom can
have is EIGHT, called a STABLE OCTET.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Electron-Dot Diagrams
 The number of dots equals the number of valence
electrons.
 The number of unpaired valence electrons in a nonmetal
tells you how many covalent bonds that atom can form
with other nonmetals or how many electrons it wants to
gain from metals to form an ion.
 The number of valence electrons in a metal tells you how
many electrons the metal will lose to nonmetals to form an
ion. Caution: May not work with transition metals.
 EXAMPLE DOT DIAGRAMS

Example Dot Diagrams
Carbon can also have this dot diagram, which it
has when it forms
compounds.
(c) 2006,organic
Mark Rosengarten
Excited vs. Ground State
 Configurations on the Periodic Table are ground state
configurations.
 If electrons are given energy, they rise to higher energy
levels (excited state).
 If the total number of electrons matches in the
configuration, but the configuration doesn’t match, the
atom is in the excited state.
 Na (ground, on table): 2-8-1
 Example of excited states: 2-7-2, 2-8-0-1, 2-6-3
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
What Is Light?
 Light is formed when electrons drop from
the excited state to the ground state.
 The lines on a bright-line spectrum come
from specific energy level drops and are
unique to each element.
 EXAMPLE SPECTRUM
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
EXAMPLE SPECTRUM
This is the bright-line spectrum of hydrogen. The top
numbers represent the PEL (shell) change that produces the
light with that color and the bottom number is the
wavelength of the light (in nanometers, or 10-9 m).
No other element has the same bright-line spectrum as
hydrogen, so these spectra can be used to identify
elements or mixtures of elements.

Development of the Atomic
Model
 Thompson Model
 Rutherford Gold Foil Experiment and
Model
 Bohr Model
 Quantum-Mechanical Model
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Thompson Model
 The atom is a positively charged diffuse
mass with negatively charged electrons
stuck in it.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Rutherford Model
 The atom is made of a small, dense, positively charged
nucleus with electrons at a distance, the vast majority of
the volume of the atom is empty space.
Alpha particles shot
at a thin sheet of gold
foil: most go through
(empty space). Some
deflect or bounce off
(small + charged
nucleus).
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Bohr Model
 Electrons orbit around the nucleus in energy levels (shells).
Atomic bright-line spectra was the clue.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Quantum-Mechanical Model
 Electron energy levels are wave functions.
 Electrons are found in orbitals, regions of space where an
electron is most likely to be found.
 You can’t know both where the electron is and where it is
going at the same time.
 Electrons buzz around the nucleus like gnats buzzing
around your head.

Matter
1) Properties of Phases
2) Types of Matter
3) Phase Changes
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Properties of Phases
 Solids: Crystal lattice (regular geometric pattern),
vibration motion only
 Liquids: particles flow past each other but are still
attracted to each other.
 Gases: particles are small and far apart, they travel in a
straight line until they hit something, they bounce off
without losing any energy, they are so far apart from each
other that they have effectively no attractive forces and
their speed is directly proportional to the Kelvin
temperature (Kinetic-Molecular Theory, Ideal Gas Theory)
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Solids
The positive and
negative ions
alternate in the
ionic crystal lattice
of NaCl.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Liquids
When heated, the ions move
faster and eventually
separate from each other to
form a liquid. The ions are
loosely held together by the
oppositely charged ions, but
the ions are moving too fast
for the crystal lattice to stay
together.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Gases
Since all gas molecules spread out
the same way, equal volumes of
gas under equal conditions of
temperature and pressure will
contain equal numbers of
molecules of gas. 22.4 L of any
gas at STP (1.00 atm and 273K)
will contain one mole
(6.02 X 1023) gas molecules.
Since there is space between gas
molecules, gases are affected by
(c) 2006, Mark
Rosengarten
changes
in pressure.
Types of Matter
 Substances (Homogeneous)
– Elements (cannot be decomposed by chemical
change): Al, Ne, O, Br, H
– Compounds (can be decomposed by chemical
change): NaCl, Cu(ClO3)2, KBr, H2O, C2H6
 Mixtures
– Homogeneous: Solutions (solvent + solute)
– Heterogeneous: soil, Italian dressing, etc.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Elements
 A sample of lead atoms (Pb). All
atoms in the sample consist of lead,
so the substance is homogeneous.
 A sample of chlorine atoms (Cl).
All atoms in the sample consist of
chlorine, so the substance is
homogeneous.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Compounds
 Lead has two charges listed, +2
and +4. This is a sample of lead
(II) chloride (PbCl2). Two or
more elements bonded in a
whole-number ratio is a
COMPOUND.
 This compound is formed from
the +4 version of lead. This is
lead (IV) chloride (PbCl4).
Notice how both samples of lead
compounds have consistent
composition throughout?
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Compounds are homogeneous!
Mixtures
 A mixture of lead atoms and
chlorine atoms. They exist in no
particular ratio and are not
chemically combined with each
other. They can be separated by
physical means.
 A mixture of PbCl2 and PbCl4
formula units. Again, they are in
no particular ratio to each other
and can be separated without
chemical change.

Heat of Phase Change
 How many joules would it take to melt 100. g of H2O (s) at
0oC?
 q=mHf = (100. g)(334 J/g) = 33400 J
 How many joules would it take to boil 100. g of H2O (l) at
100oC?
 q=mHv = (100.g)(2260 J/g) = 226000 J
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Evaporation
 When the surface molecules of a gas travel upwards at a




great enough speed to escape.
The pressure a vapor exerts when sealed in a container at
equilibrium is called vapor pressure, and can be found on
Table H.
When the liquid is heated, its vapor pressure increases.
When the liquid’s vapor pressure equals the pressure
exerted on it by the outside atmosphere, the liquid can boil.
If the pressure exerted on a liquid increases, the boiling
point of the liquid increases (pressure cooker). If the
pressure decreases, the boiling point of the liquid decreases

(special cooking directions for high elevations).

ions
Share 1 valence electron with another nonmetal
atom to form one covalent bond.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Group 18: Noble Gases
 Are completely nonreactive since they have eight
valence electrons, making a stable octet.
 Kr and Xe can be forced, in the laboratory, to give
up some valence electrons to react with fluorine.
 Since noble gases do not naturally bond to any
other elements, one atom of noble gas is
considered to be a molecule of noble gas. This is
called a monatomic molecule. Ne represents an
atom of Ne and a molecule of Ne.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Diatomic Molecules
 Br, I, N, Cl, H, O and F are so reactive that they exist in a
more chemically stable state when they covalently bond
with another atom of their own element to make two-atom,
or diatomic molecules.
 Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2 and F2
 The decomposition of water: 2 H2O  2 H2 + O2
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Electronegativity
 An atom’s attraction to electrons in a chemical bond.
 F has the highest, at 4.0
 Fr has the lowest, at 0.7
 If two atoms that are different in EN (END) from each
other by 1.7 or more collide and bond (like a metal atom
and a nonmetal atom), the one with the higher
electronegativity will pull the valence electrons away from
the atom with the lower electronegativity to form a (-) ion.
The atom that was stripped of its valence electrons forms a
(+) ion.
 If the two atoms have an END of less than 1.7, they will
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
share their unpaired valence electrons…covalent bond!
Ionization Energy
 The energy required to remove the most loosely held
valence electron from an atom in the gas phase.
 High electronegativity means high ionization energy
because if an atom is more attracted to electrons, it will
take more energy to remove those electrons.
 Metals have low ionization energy. They lose electrons
easily to form (+) charged ions.
 Nonmetals have high ionization energy but high
electronegativity. They gain electrons easily to form (-)
charged ions when reacted with metals, or share unpaired
valence electrons with other nonmetal atoms.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Ions
 Ions are charged particles formed by the gain or loss of
electrons.
– Metals lose electrons (oxidation) to form (+) charged
cations.
– Nonmetals gain electrons (reduction) to form (-)
charged anions.
 Atoms will gain or lose electrons in such a way that they
end up with 8 valence electrons (stable octet).
– The exceptions to this are H, Li, Be and B, which are
not large enough to support 8 valence electrons. They
must be satisfied with 2 (Li, Be, B) or 0 (H).
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Metal Ions (Cations)
 Na: 2-8-1
 Na+1: 2-8
 Ca: 2-8-8-2
Note that when the atom
loses its valence electron,
the next lower PEL
becomes the valence PEL.
 Ca+2: 2-8-8
 Al: 2-8-3
 Al+3: 2-8
Notice how the dot
diagrams for metal ions
lack dots! Place brackets
around the element symbol
and put the charge on the
upper right outside!

Nonmetal Ions (Anions)
 F: 2-7
 F-1: 2-8
 O: 2-6
 O-2: 2-8
Note how the ions all have 8
valence electrons. Also note the
gained electrons as red dots.
Nonmetal ion dot diagrams show
8 dots, with brackets around the
dot diagram and the charge of
the ion written to the upper right
side outside the brackets.
 N: 2-5
 N-3: 2-8
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Ionic Bonding
 If two atoms that are different in EN (END) from each
other by 1.7 or more collide and bond (like a metal atom
and a nonmetal atom), the one with the higher
electronegativity will pull the valence electrons away from
the atom with the lower electronegativity to form a (-) ion.
The atom that was stripped of its valence electrons forms a
(+) ion.
 The oppositely charged ions attract to form the bond. It is
a surface bond that can be broken by melting or dissolving
in water.
 Ionic bonding forms ionic crystal lattices, not molecules.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Example of Ionic Bonding
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Covalent Bonding
 If two nonmetal atoms have an END of 1.7 or less, they
will share their unpaired valence electrons to form a
covalent bond.
 A particle made of covalently bonded nonmetal atoms is
called a molecule.
 If the END is between 0 and 0.4, the sharing of electrons is
equal, so there are no charged ends. This is NONPOLAR
covalent bonding.
 If the END is between 0.5 and 1.7, the sharing of electrons
is unequal. The atom with the higher EN will be d- and the
one with the lower EN will be d+ charged. This is a
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
POLAR covalent bonding.
(d means “partial”)
Examples of Covalent Bonding
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Metallic Bonding
 Metal atoms of the same element bond with each other by
sharing valence electrons that they lose to each other.
 This is a lot like an atomic game of “hot potato”, where
metal kernals (the atom inside the valence electrons) sit in
a crystal lattice, passing valence electrons back and forth
between each other).
 Since electrons can be forced to travel in a certain direction
within the metal, metals are very good at conducting
electricity in all phases.

Types of Compounds
 Ionic: made of metal and nonmetal ions. Form an ionic
crystal lattice when in the solid phase. Ions separate when
melted or dissolved in water, allowing electrical
conduction. Examples: NaCl, K2O, CaBr2
 Molecular: made of nonmetal atoms bonded to form a
distinct particle called a molecule. Bonds do not break
upon melting or dissolving, so molecular substances do not
conduct electricity. EXCEPTION: Acids [H+A- (aq)]
ionize in water to form H3O+ and A-, so they do conduct.
 Network: made up of nonmetal atoms bonded in a
seemingly endless matrix of covalent bonds with no
(c) 2006, Mark

distinguishable molecules.
Very
high m.p., don’t conduct.

Molecular Compounds
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Network Solids
Network solids are made of nonmetal atoms covalently
bonded together to form large crystal lattices. No individual
molecules can be distinguished. Examples include C
(diamond) and SiO2 (quartz). Corundum (Al2O3) also forms
these, even though Al is considered a metal. Network solids
are among the hardest materials known. They have
extremely high melting points and do not conduct electricity.

Formula Writing

cancel out to make the formula. Use subscripts to indicate
how many atoms of each element there are in the
compound, no subscript if there is only one atom of that
element.

Types of Chemical Reactions
 Redox Reactions: driven by the loss (oxidation) and gain
(reduction) of electrons. Any species that does not change
charge is called the spectator ion.
– Synthesis
– Decomposition
– Single Replacement
 Ion Exchange Reaction: driven by the formation of an
insoluble precipitate. The ions that remain dissolved
throughout are the spectator ions.
– Double Replacement
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Synthesis
 Two elements combine to form a compound
 2 Na + O2  Na2O
 Same reaction, with charges added in:
– 2 Na0 + O20  Na2+1O-2
 Na0 is oxidized (loses electrons), is the reducing agent
 O20 is reduced (gains electrons), is the oxidizing agent
 Electrons are transferred from the Na0 to the O20.
 No spectator ions, there are only two elements here.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Decomposition
 A compound breaks down into its original elements.
 Na2O  2 Na + O2
 Same reaction, with charges added in:
– Na2+1O-2  2 Na0 + O20
 O-2 is oxidized (loses electrons), is the reducing agent
 Na+1 is reduced (gains electrons), is the oxidizing agent
 Electrons are transferred from the O-2 to the Na+1.
 No spectator ions, there are only two elements here.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Single Replacement
 An element replaces the same type of element in a



compound.
Ca + 2 KCl  CaCl2 + 2 K
Same reaction, with charges added in:
– Ca0 + 2 K+1Cl-1  Ca+2Cl2-1 + 2 K0
Ca0 is oxidized (loses electrons), is the reducing agent
K+1 is reduced (gains electrons), is the oxidizing agent
 Electrons are transferred from the Ca0 to the K+1.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
 Cl-1 is the spectator ion, since it’s charge doesn’t change.
Double Replacement
 The (+) ion of one compound bonds to the (-) ion of





another compound to make an insoluble precipitate. The
compounds must both be dissolved in water to break the
ionic bonds first.
NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq)  NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)
The Cl-1 and Ag+1 come together to make the insoluble
precipitate, which looks like snow in the test tube.
No species change charge, so this is not a redox reaction.
Since the Na+1 and NO3-1 ions remain dissolved throughout
the reaction, they are the spectator ions.
How do identify the(c)precipitate?
2006, Mark Rosengarten
Identifying the Precipitate
 The precipitate is the compound that is insoluble. AgCl is
a precipitate because Cl- is a halide. Halides are soluble,

Attractive Forces
 Molecules have partially charged ends. The d+ end of one
molecule attracts to the d- end of another molecule.
 Ions are charged (+) or (-). Positively charged ions attract
other to form ionic bonds, a type of attractive force.
 Since partially charged ends result in weaker attractions
than fully charged ends, ionic compounds generally have
much higher melting points than molecular compounds.

molecule and the N, O or F end
of another polar molecule. This
attraction is so strong that water

Le Châtelier’s Principle
 If a system at equilibrium is stressed, the equilibrium




will shift in a direction that relieves that stress.
A stress is a factor that affects reaction rate. Since
catalysts affect both reaction rates equally, catalysts have
no effect on a system already at equilibrium.
Equilibrium will shift AWAY from what is added
Equilibrium will shift TOWARDS what is removed.
This is because the shift will even out the change in
reaction rate and bring the system back to equilibrium
» NEXT
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Steps to Relieving Stress
 1) Equilibrium is subjected to a STRESS.
 2) System SHIFTS towards what is removed from the
system or away from what is added.
 The shift results in a CHANGE OF CONCENTRATION
for both the products and the reactants.
– If the shift is towards the products, the concentration of
the products will increase and the concentration of the
reactants will decrease.
– If the shift is towards the reactants, the concentration of
the reactants will increase and the concentration of the
products will decrease.

Examples
 For the reaction N2(g)
+ 3H2(g)  2 NH3(g) + heat
– Adding N2 will cause the equilibrium to shift RIGHT, resulting in
an increase in the concentration of NH3 and a decrease in the
concentration of N2 and H2.
– Removing H2 will cause a shift to the LEFT, resulting in a
decrease in the concentration of NH3 and an increase in the
concentration of N2 and H2.
– Increasing the temperature will cause a shift to the LEFT, same
results as the one above.
– Decreasing the pressure will cause a shift to the LEFT, because
there is more gas on the left side, and making more gas will bring
the pressure back up to its equilibrium amount.
– Adding a catalyst will
have no effect, so no shift will happen.

Solubility
Solubility: go to the temperature
and up to the desired line, then
across to the Y-axis. This is how
many g of solute are needed to
make a saturated solution of that
solute in 100g of H2O at that
particular temperature.
At 40oC, the solubility of KNO3 in
100g of water is 64 g. In 200g of
water, double that amount. In 50g
of water, cut it in half.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Supersaturated
If 120 g of NaNO3 are added to
100g of water at 30oC:
1) The solution would be
SUPERSATURATED, because
there is more solute dissolved
than the solubility allows
2) The extra 25g would
precipitate out
3) If you heated the solution up
by 24oC (to 54oC), the excess
solute would dissolve.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Unsaturated
If 80 g of KNO3 are added to
100g of water at 60oC:
1) The solution would be
UNSATURATED, because there
is less solute dissolved than the
solubility allows
2) 26g more can be added to
make a saturated solution
3) If you cooled the solution
down by 12oC (to 48oC), the
solution would become saturated

Bases have a pH of more than 7.
Dilute solutions of bases taste bitter.

Bases are formed when alkali metals or alkaline earth
metals react with water. The words “alkali” and “alkaline”
mean “basic”, as opposed to “acidic”.

Naming of Bases
 Bases are named like any ionic

necessary) followed by “hydroxide”.
Fe(OH)2 (aq) = iron (II) hydroxide
Fe(OH)3 (aq) = iron (III) hydroxide

Alternate Theories
 Arrhenius Theory: acids and bases must be in aqueous
solution.
 Alternate Theory: Not necessarily so!
– Acid: proton (H+1) donor…gives up H+1 in a reaction.
– Base: proton (H+1) acceptor…gains H+1 in a reaction.
 HNO3 + H2O  H3O+1 + NO3-1
– Since HNO3 lost an H+1 during the reaction, it is an acid.
– Since H2O gained the H+1 that HNO3 lost, it is a base.

The formula of a compound is such that the charges of the

called a SPECIES.

Identifying OX, RD, SI
Species
 Ca0 + 2 H+1Cl-1  Ca+2Cl-12 + H20
 Oxidation = loss of electrons. The species becomes more
positive in charge. For example, Ca0  Ca+2, so Ca0 is the
species that is oxidized.
 Reduction = gain of electrons. The species becomes more
negative in charge. For example, H+1  H0, so the H+1 is
the species that is reduced.
 Spectator Ion = no change in charge. The species does not
gain or lose any electrons. For example, Cl-1  Cl-1, so
the Cl-1 is the spectator
ion.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Agents
 Ca0 + 2 H+1Cl-1  Ca+2Cl-12 + H20
 Since Ca0 is being oxidized and H+1 is being reduced, the
electrons must be going from the Ca0 to the H+1.
 Since Ca0 would not lose electrons (be oxidized) if H+1
weren’t there to gain them, H+1 is the cause, or agent, of
Ca0’s oxidation. H+1 is the oxidizing agent.
 Since H+1 would not gain electrons (be reduced) if Ca0
weren’t there to lose them, Ca0 is the cause, or agent, of
H+1’s reduction. Ca0 is the reducing agent.

Writing Half-Reactions
 Ca0 + 2 H+1Cl-1  Ca+2Cl-12 + H20
 Oxidation: Ca0  Ca+2 + 2e Reduction: 2H+1 + 2e-  H20
The two electrons lost
by Ca0 are gained by
the two H+1 (each H+1
picks up an electron).

Activity Series
 For metals, the higher up the chart the
element is, the more likely it is to be
oxidized. This is because metals like to
lose electrons, and the more active a
metallic element is, the more easily it can
lose them.
 For nonmetals, the higher up the chart the
element is, the more likely it is to be
reduced. This is because nonmetals like to
gain electrons, and the more active a
nonmetallic element is, the more easily it
can gain them.

How It Works
Since Zn is listed above Cu, Zn0 will be
oxidized when it reacts with Cu+2. The
reaction: Zn + CuSO4  ZnSO4 + Cu
 The Zn0 anode loses 2 e-, which go up the wire and
through the load. The Zn0 electrode gets smaller as the Zn0
becomes Zn+2 and dissolves into solution. The e- go into
the Cu0, where they sit on the outside surface of the Cu0
cathode and wait for Cu+2 from the solution to come over
so that the e- can jump on to the Cu+2 and reduce it to Cu0.
The size of the Cu0 electrode increases. The negative ions
in solution go over the salt bridge to the anode side to
complete the circuit.(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
You Start At The Anode
Vital to make a battery
Is this electrochemistry
You take two half-cells
And connect them up so well
With a load to power in between
You need to have electrodes you see
Full of that metallicity
Let electrons flow
Across the salt bridge we go!
Allowing us to make electricity
We start the anode
Electrons are lost there
And go through the wire
And through the load on fire
They get to the cathode
And reduce the cations
And the anions go through the salt bridge
Back to where…

when the (+) end of the
battery strips its electrons
off.
The Ag+1 migrates through
the solution towards the (-)
charged cathode (ring),
where it picks up an electron
from the battery and forms
Ag0, which coats on to the

Hydrocarbons
 Molecules made of Hydrogen and Carbon
 Carbon forms four bonds, hydrogen forms one bond
 Hydrocarbons come in three different homologous series:
– Alkanes (single bond between C’s, saturated)
– Alkenes (1 double bond between 2 C’s, unsaturated)
– Alkynes (1 triple bond between 2 C’s, unsaturated)
 These are called aliphatic, or open-chain, hydrocarbons.
 Count the number of carbons and add the appropriate
suffix!

Alkanes
 CH4 = methane
 C2H6 = ethane
 C3H8 = propane
 C4H10 = butane
 C5H12 = pentane
 To find the number of hydrogens,
double the number of carbons and add
2.(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Methane
Meth-: one carbon
-ane: alkane

Ethane
Eth-: two carbons
-ane: alkane
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Propane
Prop-: three carbons
-ane: alkane
Also known as “cylinder gas”, usually stored under pressure
and used for gas grills and stoves. It’s also very handy as a
fuel for Bunsen burners!
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Butane
But-: four carbons
-ane: alkane
Liquefies with moderate pressure, useful for gas lighters. You
have probably lit your gas grill with a grill lighter fueled with
butane!

Ethene
Two carbons, double bonded.
Notice how each carbon has
four bonds? Two to the other
carbon and two to hydrogen
atoms.
Also called “ethylene”, is used for the production of
polyethylene, which is an extensively used plastic. Look for
the “PE”, “HDPE” (#2 recycling) or “LDPE” (#4 recycling)
on your plastic bags and containers!
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Propene
Three carbons, two of them
double bonded. Notice how
each carbon has four bonds?
If you flipped this molecule so that the double bond was on
the right side of the molecule instead of the left, it would still
be the same molecule. This is true of all alkenes.
Used to make polypropylene (PP, recycling #5), used for
dishwasher safe containers and indoor/outdoor carpeting!
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Butene
This is 1-butene, because the double
bond is between the 1st and 2nd
carbon from the end. The number 1
represents the lowest numbered
carbon the double bond is touching.
This is 2-butene. The double bond
is between the 2nd and 3rd carbon
from the end. Always count from
the end the double bond is closest
to.
ISOMERS: Molecules that share the same molecular
formula, but have different
structural formulas.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Pentene
This is 1-pentene. The double bond is
on the first carbon from the end.
This is 2-pentene. The double bond is
on the second carbon from the end.
This is not another isomer of pentene.
This is also 2-pentene, just that the
double bond is closer to the right end.

Is there a 3-butyne? Nope! That would be 1-butyne. With
four carbons, the double bond can only be between the 1st

Substituted Hydrocarbons
 Hydrocarbon chains can have three kinds of “dingly-
danglies” attached to the chain. If the dingly-dangly is
made of anything other than hydrogen and carbon, the
molecule ceases to be a hydrocarbon and becomes another
type of organic molecule.
– Alkyl groups
– Halide groups
– Other functional groups
 To name a hydrocarbon with an attached group, determine
which carbon (use lowest possible number value) the
group is attached to. Use di- for 2 groups, tri- for three.

Organic Acid
These are weak acids. The H on the right side is the one
that ionized in water to form H3O+. The -COOH
(carboxyl) functional group is always on a PRIMARY
carbon.
Can be formed from the oxidation of primary alcohols
using a KMnO4 catalyst.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Aldehyde
Aldehydes have the CO (carbonyl) groups ALWAYS on a
PRIMARY carbon. This is the only structural difference
between aldehydes and ketones.
Formed by the oxidation of primary alcohols with a catalyst.

pyridinium chlorochromate
(PCC)
catalyst.*

Ketone
Ketones have the CO (carbonyl) groups ALWAYS on a
SECONDARY carbon. This is the only structural difference
between ketones and aldehydes.
Can be formed from the dehydration of secondary alcohols
with a catalyst. Propanone is formed from the oxidation of 2propanol using KMnO4 or PCC catalyst.*
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Ether
Ethers are made of two alkyl groups surrounding one oxygen
atom. The ether is named for the alkyl groups on “ether” side
of the oxygen. If a three-carbon alkyl group and a fourcarbon alkyl group are on either side, the name would be
propyl butyl ether. Made with an etherfication reaction.
(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Ester
Esters are named for the alcohol and organic acid that
reacted by esterification to form the ester. If the alcohol was
1-propanol and the acid was hexanoic acid, the name of the
ester would be propyl hexanoate. Esters contain a COO
(carboxyl) group in the middle of the molecule, which
differentiates them from organic acids.

Fermentation
 Process of making ethanol by having yeast digest simple
sugars anaerobically. CO2 is a byproduct of this reaction.
 The ethanol produced is toxic and it kills the yeast when

(c) 2006, Mark Rosengarten
Substitution
 Alkane + Halogen  Alkyl Halide + Hydrogen Halide
 The halogen atoms substitute for any of the hydrogen
atoms in the alkane. This happens one atom at a time. The
halide generally replaces an H on the end of the molecule.
C2H6 + Cl2  C2H5Cl + HCl
The second Cl can then substitute for another H:
C2H5Cl + HCl  C2H4Cl2 + H2

Etherification*
 Alcohol + Alcohol  Ether + Water
 A dehydrating agent (H2SO4) removes H from one
alcohol’s OH and removes the OH from the other. The
two molecules join where there H and OH were removed.
Note: dimethyl ether and diethyl ether are also produced from
this reaction, but can be separated out.

Saponification
The process of making soap from glycerol esters (fats).
Glycerol ester + 3 NaOH  soap + glycerol
Glyceryl stearate + 3 NaOH  sodium stearate + glycerol
The sodium stearate is the soap! It emulsifies
grease…surrounds globules with its nonpolar ends, creating
micelles with - charge that water can then wash away. Hard
water replaces Na+ with Ca+2 and/or other low solubility ions,
which forms a precipitate called “soap scum”.
Water softeners remove these hardening ions from your tap
water, allowing the soap to dissolve normally.
