Chemical Formulas
 tell you which elements are
present in a compound, and their
amount
 Each new element is denoted by a
CAPITAL LETTER.
 NaCl = sodium and chlorine
 MgBr =magnesium and bromine
 The subscript (the small number
slightly below the line) tells you
how many atoms are present –
that number only applies to the
element at the immediate left of
the number.
 Ex. H2O = 2 hydrogen atoms
1 oxygen atom
 CaCl2 =
1 calcium atom
2 chlorine atoms
 Coefficients are large numbers
written in front of the compound
symbol. This tells you how many
molecules of that compound you
have.
Ex. 5NaNO3 =
5 Na atoms
5 N atoms
15 O atoms
4NH4ClO3 = 4 N
16H
4 Cl
12 O
 Brackets around a complex ion, with a
number to the immediate right of the
brackets, tells you how many of that
complex ions you have in the compound.
That number applies to all elements
inside the bracket.
 Ex. (NH4)2SO4 = 2N, 8H, 1S, 4O
 Ex. 4Ca3(PO4)2 = 4[3Ca 2P, 8O)]
= 12 Ca, 8P, 32O
 Mg(NO3)2 =
1 magnesium atom
2 nitrogen atoms
6 oxygen atoms
 3Ba3(PO4)2 = 9 Barium atoms
6 potassium atoms
24 oxygen atoms

 Reading Chemical Formula

 Models of Molecules
Drawing Bohr
Diagrams of
Atoms
 The nucleus contains all
the protons and
neutrons.
 Consequently, all the
mass is concentrated in
the nucleus. The
electrons are arranged in
specific ORBITALS
around the nucleus.
Orbital Limits
 There is a specific
limit to how many
electrons an orbital
(or shell) can hold.
 Within the orbitals,
the electrons like to
spread themselves
out.
Why Spread out?
 electrons carry negative charges
 negative charges repel
 Electrons fill the orbitals in the following
pattern:
Orbital: 1st
4th
2e-
2nd
3rd
8e-
8e-
Which of these diagrams is incorrect?
What elements are A,B,C,and D
18e-
 Once an orbital is
full, the electrons
will start filling the
next orbital.
 The innermost
orbital (#1) gets
filled first.
Example: Hydrogen
 Atomic # =
1
______

 Atomic Mass = ______

 # electrons = ______
Example:

 Atomic Mass = ______

 # protons = ______

 # electrons = ______
 Atomic # =
Now do the worksheet:
“Models of the elements”
 Definitions:
 1) Valence
Shell: the
outermost
orbital (or
shell)
 2) Valence
Electrons:
_electrons
in the
outside
shell
The Valence
Shell
 The Valence Electrons are involved in
forming bonds with other atoms. The
inner electrons and nucleus are not
involved in bonding.
 Atoms can:
 - _gain valence electrons
 - _lose valence electrons
 - _share valence electrons
 Example: Oxygen
 Atomic # = _8____
 Mass = ___16___
 #p = _8___
 #e = _8___
 #n = _8___
 Combining Capacity: The number of
electrons that an atom must gain or lose
to have a full valence shell.
 Full for 1st shell = _2e-___
 Full for 2nd shell = _8e-___
 Full for 3rd shell = _8e-___
 Will an Atom Gain or Lose Electrons?
 Valence electrons
greater than 4
 less than 4
equal to 4
Gain/Lose?
gain
lose
gain or lose
 exception: HYDROGEN
 This element is unique because it has
the ability to either gain or lose one
electron to “fill” its orbitals.
 Examples: Nitrogen
7
 atomic # = _____
14
 mass = _____
 #p = _7____
 #n = _7____
 #e = _7____
 # valence e = _5____
 Will this atom
gain or lose? __gain_
 How many ? ___3____
 What is its
combining capacity? _3-_
 Charge ? __3-
 When nitrogen is charged it is called
_nitride
 Example 2: Neon
 atomic # = _10____
 mass = ___20__
 #p = __10___
 #n = __10___
 #e = __10___
 # valence e = __8___
 Will this atom gain or lose? __neither___
 How many ? ___0____
 What is its combining capacity? _0_____
 Charge ? __0____
 Atoms with C.C. =_0=_INERT (NOBLE)_
that is , they will not blow up! (or react
at all!)
 Charge:
 Atoms are neutral if #p+ = # e If atoms gain or lose electrons they
become _charged = IONS!_.
Now go back and answer the
questions on the Bohr diagram
worksheets!
 When naming NON-METAL ions,
_change__ the name _ending_ to
“_ide___”
 e.g. _oxygen___ = __oxide_______
 __fluorine___ = _fluoride
 Non-metals form _negative ions.

(_#e- > #p+)
 Metals form _positive_ ions.

(_#e- < #p+)
