U
• An Observational Science
• An Experimental Science
• A Laboratory Science
• An Interesting Science
• An Important Science
• A “Hard” Science
What Is Chemistry?
U
The Study of Matter and its Properties, the Changes that Matter
Undergoes, and the Energy Associated with those Changes.
For example: Oxygen atom, hydrogen atom, water molecule
4
Water turning to oxygen and hydrogen
Everything is made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules.

Chemists study these particles, looking at the kinds, numbers, structure,
size which produce varying chemical and physical properties
5
Humans are by nature curious.

Science is just exploring nature.
A scientists is just a person exploring.
You begin to organize your thoughts into Observation, you group those
observations into Hypotheses, using Experimentation, and formulate
Laws or Theories
6
1.1 Steps in the Scientific Method

1--Observations
• quantitative : water boils at 100C
• qualitative: the sky is blue, water is liquid
2.Formulating hypotheses
• possible explanation for the observation
3.Performing experiments : gathering new information to
decide whether the hypothesis is valid Theory (Model)
• A set of tested hypotheses that give an overall
explanation of some natural phenomenon.
Natural Law
The same observation applies to many different systems
Example - Law of Mass Conservation “In a chemical
reaction matter is either created nor destroyed.”
Speed of Light, E = mc2
Law vs. Theory
A law summarizes what happens;
A theory (model) is an attempt to explain why it happens.
Laws : Very specific, “What will happen” often expressed
in mathematical equations.
7
Theories: Very general, “Why it will happen,” often includes

many “Laws

Temperature Scales and Interconversions

Kelvin ( K ) - The “Absolute temperature scale” begins at
absolute zero and only has positive values.
Celsius ( oC ) - The temperature scale used by science,
formally called centigrade and most
commonly used scale around the world.
Water freezes at 0oC, and boils at 100oC.
Fahrenheit ( oF ) - Commonly used scale in America for
our weather reports. Water freezes at 32oF,
and boils at 212oF.
T (in K) = T (in oC) + 273.15 T (in oF) = 9/5 T (in oC) + 32
T (in oC) = T (in K) - 273.15 T (in oC) = [ T (in oF) - 32 ] 5/9
Problem 3-8:Temperature Conversions

(a) The boiling point of Liquid Nitrogen is -195.8 oC, what is
the temperature in Kelvin and degrees Fahrenheit?
T (in K) = T (in oC) + 273.15

T (in K) =
T (in oF) = 9/5 T (in oC) + 32
T (in oF) =
(b)The normal body temperature is 98.6oF, what is it in Kelvin

and degrees Celsius?
T (in oC) = [ T (in oF) - 32] 5/9

T (in oC) =
T (in K) = T (in oC) + 273.15
T (in K) =

1.6 Density
• Inverse relationship between mass and volume.
• Solids = g/cm3
– 1 cm3 = 1 mL Mass
• Liquids = g/mL Density =
• Gases = g/L
Volume
• Volume of a solid can be determined by water
displacement—Archimedes Principle.
• Density : solids > liquids > gases
– Except ice is less dense than liquid water!
٥٦
1.7 Clssification of Matter

Any matter can exist in one of 3 States
• (a) Gas (b) Liquid (c) Solid
18
Solids
• The particles in a solid are packed
close together and are fixed in
position.
– Although they may vibrate.
• The close packing of the particles
results in solids being
incompressible.
• The inability of the particles to
move around results in solids
retaining their shape and volume
when placed in a new container
and prevents the particles from
flowing.
Tro's "Introductory Chemistry",
Chapter 3
Liquids
• The particles in a liquid are closely packed,
but they have some ability to move around.
• The close packing results in liquids being
incompressible.
• The ability of the particles to move allows
liquids to take the shape of their container
and to flow. However, they don’t have
enough freedom to escape and expand to
fill the container.

• Matter has PropertiesPhysical Properties are the

characteristics of matter that can be changed without
changing its composition.
A.Characteristics that are directly observable.
• Chemical Properties are the characteristics that determine
how the composition of matter changes as a result of
contact with other matter or the influence of energy.
A.Characteristics that describe the behavior of matter.
Matter has Properties, Matter can also go through
Changes
• Changes that alter the state or appearance of the matter
without altering the composition are called physical
changes.
• Changes that alter the composition of the matter are called
chemical changes.
A.During the chemical change, the atoms that are present
rearrange into new molecules, but all of the original
atoms are still present.
Is it a Physical or Chemical Change?
– A physical change results in a different form of the same
substance.
23
– The kinds of molecules don’t change.

– A chemical change results in one or more completely new
substances.
– Also called chemical reactions.
– The new substances have different molecules than the
original substances.
You will observe different physical properties because
the new substances have their own physical properties

Lecture :1
1-Fundamental Chemical Laws :
Three Laws that Led to the Atomic Theory
• Law of Mass Conservation: The total mass of substances does not
change during a chemical reaction (Lavoisier).
• Law of Definite ( or Constant ) Composition: No matter what its
source, a particular chemical compound is composed of the same
elements in the same parts (fractions) by mass (Proust).
• The Law of Multiple Proportions: When two elements form a
series of compounds, the masses of one element that combine
with a fixed mass of the other element are in the ratio of small
integers to each other (Dalton).
1-Conservation of Mass
• Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
• In every chemical operation an equal quantity of matter exists
before and after the operation.
• Mass is conserved in a chemical reaction.
• Moreover, in chemical change, the mass of the elements is
conserved, element by element.
• Development of this law was made possible by the analytical
balance.
26
Problem
• Potassium chlorate (KClO 3 ) decomposes to potassium chloride
(KCl) and oxygen (O 2 ) when heated. In one experiment 100.0
g of KClO 3 generated 36.9g of O 2 and 57.3 g of KCl. What
mass of KClO 3 remained unreacted?
• Mass of KClO 3 before reaction = mass of KCl + mass of O 2
+ mass of unreacted KClO 3
• 100.0 g of KClO 3 = 57.3 g KCl + 36.9g O 2 + g unreacted KClO 3
• g unreacted KClO 3 = 100.0 g - 57.3 g - 36.9 g = 5.8 g
2-Definite Composition
Chemical analysis of a 9.07 g sample of calcium phosphate shows
that it contains 3.52 g of Ca.
How much Ca could be obtained from a 1.000 kg
sample?
Mass fraction Ca = 3.52 g Ca / (9.07 g total) = 0.388
(i.e., 38.8% Ca by mass in any sample of compound)
Mass Ca in 1.000 kg =
(1.000 kg total)x(0.388 g Ca/ g total) = 0.388 kg C
= 388 g Ca
2-Law of Definite Proportions
27
In a given chemical compound, the proportions by mass of the

elements that compose it are fixed, regardless of the source of the
compound.
The ratio of elements in a compound is fixed regardless of the source
of the compound.
Water is made up of 11.1% by mass of hydrogen and 88.9% oxygen.
3-Law of Multiple Proportions
If elements A and B react to form two compounds,the different
masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A can be expressed as
a ratio of small whole numbers.
Example: Nitrogen Oxides I & II
Cmpd Mass % Mass % Mass Ratio Ratio of

N O O/N Ratios
I 46.68 53.32 1.142 1
II 30.45 69.55 2.284 2
28
Law of Multiple Proportions (Dalton)

• If elements A & B react to form more than one compound, the different
masses of “B” that combine with a fixed mass of “A” can be expressed as a
ratio of SMALL WHOLE NUMBERS.
Ex. Assume two compounds containing just Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O)
with the following relative compositions
Carbon Oxide (I): 57.1 % Oxygen and 42.9 % Carbon
Carbon Oxide (II): 72.7 % Oxygen and 27.3 % Carbon
Mass Ratios: Oxide (I) = 57.1 / 42.9 C = 1.33 g O / g C
Oxide (II) = 72.7 / 27.3 C = 2.66 g O / g C
Ratio Oxide (I) / Oxide (II) = 1.33 / 2.66 = 1/2
Expressing the relative mass fractions as “small whole numbers”, the ratio of
oxygen atoms to carbon atoms in Oxide I is 1:1 (CO)
The ratio of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms in Oxide II is 2:1 (CO2)
14
Dalton’s Atomic Theory

• Matter is composed of (indivisible) atoms.
• All atoms of a given chemical element are identical in mass and in
all other properties.
• Different chemical elements are composed of different atoms of
different masses.
• Atoms are indestructible. They retain their identities in a chemical
reaction.
• A compound forms from its elements through the combination of
atoms of unlike elements in small whole number ratios.

Early Experiments To Characterize The Atom
Experiencing Atoms
1. There are about 91 elements found in nature.
– Over 20 have been made in laboratories.
(a) Each kind of atom is unique
30
a. Carbon is not Hydrogen

b. They have different properties
i. Structure, magnetic meaning they can attract and repel
other atoms, melting, boiling, electrical, stability,
reactivity (attract and repel), etc…
The Atom Is Divisible
• Work done by J. J. Thomson and others proved that the atom had
pieces(subatomic particles) called electrons.
• Thomson found that electrons are much smaller than atoms and
carry a negative charge.
– The mass of the electron is 1/1836th the mass of a hydrogen
atom.
– The charge on the electron is the fundamental unit of charge
that we call –1 charge unit.
The Electron
1- A Glass tube from which most of the air has been evacuated.
2-When two metal plates are connected to a high –voltage source, the
negatively charged plate, called the cathode, emits an invisible ray.
3- The cathode ray is drawn to the positively charged plate, called the
anode, where it passes through a hole and continues travelling to the
other of the tube
4-When the ray strikes the specially coated surface, it produces a
strong fluorescence, or bright light
31
5-The cathode ray is attracted by the plate bearing +ve charges and
repelled by the plate bearing –ve charges so it must consists of
negatively charged particles called electrons
A cathode-ray tube: the fast-moving electrons excite the gas in the
tube, causing a glow between the electrodes(see fig.)
Millikan’s Experiment :Mass of Electron

1. Measured rate of droplet’s fall without voltage: obtained droplet’s
mass.
2. Voltage across plates influenced speed, due to charge on droplet.
3. Quantitative effect of voltage w/ laws of physics -> amt. of charge on
droplet.
4. RESULT: Different droplets had different charge, but always a
multiple of same number ->
elementary charge on electron:
e = 1.602x10-19 coulombs (negative).

Rutherford’s Interpretation— The Nuclear Model

The atom contains a tiny dense center called the nucleus.
– The amount of space taken by the nucleus is only about 1/10
trillionth the volume of the atom.
34
2. The nucleus has essentially the entire mass of the atom.

– The electrons weigh so little they contribute practically no
mass to the atom.
3. The nucleus is positively charged.
• The amount of positive charge balances the negative charge
of the electrons.
4.The electrons are dispersed in the empty space of
the atom surrounding the nucleus.
• Like water droplets in a cloud.
Some Problems:
• How could beryllium have 4 protons stuck together in the nucleus?
• Shouldn’t they repel each other?
• If a beryllium atom has 4 protons, then it should weigh 4 amu, but
it actually weighs 9.01 amu! Where is the extra mass coming
from?
• Each proton weighs 1 amu.
• Remember: The electron’s mass is only about 0.00055 amu
and Be has only 4 electrons—it can’t account for the extra 5
amu of mass.
• There Must Be Something Else
ThereTo answer these questions, Rutherford proposed that there
was another particle in the nucleus—it is called a neutron.
35
• Neutrons (are discovered by Schadwick upon bombarding a thin

sheet of Be with α –particles : high energy radiation was emitted:
neutrons)
have no charge and a mass of 1 amu.
– The masses of the proton and neutron are both
– approximately 1 amu.

• The nucleus xcontains
10 protons and neutrons.
• The nucleus is only about 10-13 cm in diameter.
P P
• The electrons move outside the nucleus with an average distance of

about 10-8 cm.P P
– Therefore, the radius of the atom is about 105 times larger P P
than the radius of the nucleus.

Some Notes on Charges
36
– There are two kinds of charges, called positive and negative.

– Opposite charges attract : + attracted to –.
Like charges repel : (+) repels( +)
(–) repels( –).
To be neutral, something
must have no charge or equal
amounts of opposite charges
– Elements:
– Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus.
– All carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nuclei.
– The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called the
atomic number.
– Z is the short-hand designation for the atomic number.
– Because each element’s atoms have a unique number of
protons, each element can be identified by its atomic number.
– The elements are arranged on the Periodic Table in order of
their atomic numbers.
– Each element has a unique name and symbol.
37
– The symbol is either one or two letters

One capital letter or one capital letter + one lower case letter
Atomic Definitions
Z
X The Nuclear Symbol of the Atom, or Isotope
X = Atomic symbol of the element, or element symbol

A = The Mass number; A = Z + N
Z = The Atomic Number, the Number of Protons in the

Nucleus
(All atoms of the same element have
the same no. of protons.)
N = The Number of Neutrons in the Nucleus
38
Periodic law : Mendeleev

– Ordered elements by atomic mass.
– Saw a repeating pattern of properties.
– Periodic law —When the elements are arranged in order of
increasing relative mass, certain sets of properties recur
periodically?
– Used pattern to predict properties of undiscovered elements.
– Where atomic mass order did not fit other properties, he reordered
by other properties.

The Modern Periodic Table

– Elements with similar chemical and physical properties are in the
same column.
– Columns are called Groups or Families.
– Designated by a number and letter at top.
– Rows are called Periods.
– Each period shows the pattern of properties repeated in the next
period.
– Main group = representative elements = “A” groups.
– Transition elements = “B” groups.
– All metals.
– Bottom rows = inner transition elements = rare earth elements.
– Metals
– Really belong in periods 6 and 7.

= Alkali metals = Halogens
= Alkali earth metals = Lanthanides
= Noble gases = Actinides
= Transition metals
٥۳
Important Groups—Hydrogen
• Nonmetal.
• Colorless, diatomic gas.
– Very low melting point and density.
• Reacts with nonmetals to form molecular compounds.
– HCl is an acidic gas.
– H 2 O is a liquid.
• Reacts with metals to form hydrides.
– Metal hydrides react with water to form H 2 .
hydrogen halides dissolve in water to form acids
41
Atom Happiness:
• The number of electrons determines the physical and chemical
properties of an atom
• When the protons=electrons atoms are electrically neutral
• But Atom Happiness only comes about when the atom has the
same number of Electrons as a noble gas
• Atoms will not gain and loose protons because protons are at the
center of atoms, very far away from outside, in an electrical shroud
of negative charge
• Atoms will gain and loose electrons, which are on the outside
surface of atoms
• When an atom gains or looses an electron the electrical balance is
lost
• But, atoms are happier with a charge
Ions:
– Ions with a positive charge are called cations.
– More protons than electrons.
– Form by losing electrons.
– Ions with a negative charge are called anions.
– More electrons than protons.
– Form by gaining electrons.
– Chemically, ions are much different than the neutral atoms.
42
– Because they have a different structure.
Atomic Structures of Ions

• Nonmetals form anions.
• For each negative charge, the ion has 1 more electron than the
neutral atom.
o F = 9 p+ and 9 e− ; F─ = 9 p+ and 10 e−.
o P = 15 p+ and 15 e− ; P3─ = 15 p+ and 18 e−.

• Anions are named by changing the ending of the name to –ide.
fluorine F + 1e− → F─ fluoride ion
oxygen O + 2e− → O2─ oxide ion

• The charge on an anion can often be determined from the group
number on the periodic table.
– Group 7A ⇒ 1−, Group 6A ⇒ 2−.

• Metals form cations.
• For each positive charge the ion has 1 less electron than the neutral
atom.
• Na atom = 11 p+ and 11 e−; Na+ ion = 11 p+ and 10 e−.
• Ca atom = 20 p+ and 20 e−; Ca2+ ion = 20 p+ and 18 e−.

• Cations are named the same as the metal.
sodium Na → Na+ + 1e− sodium ion
43
calcium Ca → Ca2+ + 2e− calcium ion

• The charge on a cation can often be determined from the group
number on the periodic table.
 Group 1A ⇒ 1+, Group 2A ⇒ 2+, (Al, Ga, In) ⇒ 3+.

Valence Electrons and Ion Charge
• The highest energy electrons in an atom are called the valence
electrons.
• Metals form cations by losing their valence electrons to get the
same number of electrons as the previous noble gas.
• Main group metals.
• Li+ = 2 e− = He; Al3+ = 10 e− = Ne.

• Nonmetals form anions by gaining electrons to have the same
number of electrons as the next noble gas.
• Cl− = 18 e− = Ar; Se2− = 36 e− = Kr.

Ion Charge and the Periodic Table
• The charge on an ion can often be determined from an elements
position on the periodic table.
• Metals are always positive ions, nonmetals are negative ions.
• For many main group metals, the cation charge = the group
number.
• For nonmetals, the anion charge = the group number – 8.

Structure of the Nucleus

• Soddy discovered that the same element could have atoms with
different masses, which he called isotopes.
– There are two isotopes of chlorine found in nature, one that
has a mass of about 35 amu and another that weighs about 37
amu.
• The observed mass is a weighted average of the weights of all the
naturally occurring atoms.
– The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.45 amu.
45
Isotopes
• All isotopes of an element are chemically identical.
– Undergo the exact same chemical reactions.
• All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons.
• Isotopes of an element have different masses.
• Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.
• Isotopes are identified by their mass numbers.
– Protons + neutrons.

Order of Elements in a Formula

• Metals are written first.
• NaCl
• Nonmetals are written in order from Table 5.1.
• CO 2
46
• There are occasional exceptions for historical or

informational reasons.
• H 2 O, but NaOH .
Ionic Compounds
• Metals + nonmetals.
• No individual molecule units, instead have a 3-dimensional array
of cations and anions made of formula units. Ionic compounds are
made of ions called cations and anions.
• Cations = + charged ions; anions = − charged ions.
• The sum of the + charges of the cations must equal the sum of the
− charges of the anions.
• If Na+ is combined with S2-, you will need 2 Na+ ions for every S2-
ion to balance the charges, therefore the formula must be Na 2 S.

48
Naming Binary Compounds (Type I; Ionic)
• The cation is always named first and the anion

second.
• A monatomic cation takes its name from the
name of the element, e.g. Na+ is called sodium in
the names of compounds containing this ion.
• A monatomic anion is named by taking the first
part of the element and adding –ide, e.g. Cl- is
chloride.

Naming Binary Compounds

(Type II; Ionic)
• Applies to cations that can take on

alternate charge states
• Using the principle of charge balance
determine the cation charge.
• Include in the cation name a Roman
numeral indicating the charge.

Ionic Compounds with Polyatomic

Ions
• Polyatomic ions are assigned special names

that must be memorized.
• Special rules apply to anions that contain
an atom of a given element and different
numbers of oxygen atoms. These anions are
called oxyanions.

4 Start learning these boldface ones.
52
Rules for Families of Oxoanions

Families with Two Oxoanions
The ion with more O atoms takes the nonmetal root and the
suffix “-ate”.
The ion with fewer O atoms takes the nonmetal root and the
suffix “-ite”.
Families with Four Oxoanions (usually a Halogen)
The ion with most O atoms has the prefix “per-”, the nonmetal
root and the suffix “-ate”.
The ion with one less O atom has just the suffix “-ate”.
The ion with two less O atoms has the just the suffix “-ite”.
The ion with three less O atoms has the prefix “hypo-” and the
suffix “-ite”.
Binary Compounds
(Type III; Covalent – Contain Two Nonmetals:
• The first element in the formula is named first, using the full
element name.
• The second element is named as if it were an anion.
• Prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present.
• The prefix mono- is never used for naming the first element, e.g.
CO is carbon monoxide.

Binary Compounds
(Type III; Covalent – Contain Two Nonmetals
• The first element in the formula is named first, using the full
element name.
• The second element is named as if it were an anion.
• Prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present.
The prefix mono- is never used for naming the first element, e.g. CO is
carbon monoxide
54
Binary Molecular Compounds

of Two Nonmetals
1. Name first element in formula first.
– Use the full name of the element.
2. Name the second element in the formula with an
−ide, as if it were an anion.
– However, remember these compounds do not contain
ions!
3. Use a prefix in front of each name to indicate the
number of atoms.
– Never use the prefix mono- on the first element.

Subscript—Prefixes
• 1 = mono-
– Not used on first nonmetal.
• 2 = di-
• 3 = tri-
• 4 = tetra-
• 5 = penta-
• 6 = hexa-
• 7 = hepta-
• 8 = octa-
Drop last “a” if name begins with vowel
Example—Naming Binary Molecular, BF 3 , Continued
R R
4. Name the first element.

boron.
4. Name the second element with an –ide.
Fluorine ⇒ fluoride.
4. Add a prefix to each name to indicate the subscript.
monoboron, trifluoride.
4. Write the first element with prefix, then the second element with
prefix.
56
– Drop prefix mono- from first element.

boron trifluoride.
Formula-to-Name Acids
• Acids are molecular compounds that often behave like they are
made of ions.
• All names have acid at end.
• Binary Acids = Hydro- prefix + stem of the name of the nonmetal
+ -ic suffix.
• Oxyacids:
– If polyatomic ion ends in –ate = Name of polyatomic ion
with –ic suffix.
– If polyatomic ion ends in –ite = Name of polyatomic ion with
–ous suffix.
Naming Oxyacids:
• If polyatomic ion name ends in –ate, then change ending to –ic
suffix.
• If polyatomic ion name ends in –ite, then change ending to –ous
suffix.
Write word acid at end of all names
Example—Naming Oxyacids, H 2 SO 4 ,Continued
R R R R
4. Identify the anion.

57
SO 4 = SO 4 2- = sulfate.
4. If the anion has –ate suffix, change it to –ic. If the anion has –ite
suffix, change it to –ous.
SO 4 2- = sulfate ⇒ sulfuric.
4. Write the name of the anion followed by the word acid.
sulfuric acid
(This is kind of an exception, to make it sound nicer!)
Writing Formulas for Acids
• When name ends in acid, formulas starts with H.
• Write formulas as if ionic, even though it is molecular.
• Hydro- prefix means it is binary acid, no prefix means it is an
oxyacid.
• For an oxyacid, if ending is –ic, polyatomic ion ends in –ate; if
ending is –ous, polyatomic ion ends in –ous.
