PURE SUBSTANCE
- fixed composition; cannot be further
purified
- may be either:
Elements
- substance that consists of identical
atoms
- cannot be subdivided by chemical or
physical means
- nonmetals, metals, metalloids, inert
gas
Compounds
- made up of two or more elements
in a fixed ratio by mass
- combined by chemical means
- can be:
Inorganic Compound
- does not contain carbon
- Acid - donates Hydrogen (H+)
- Base - donates Hydroxen ions (OH-)
- Salt - Acid + Base
- Ex: HCl + NaOH ---> Nacl + H2O
CHEMISTRY
- the science that deals with matter Organic Compound
- contains carbon
MATTER - not all carbon containing are
- anything that has mass and takes up space organic
- divided into two classes:
Valence Electrons
- an electron in the outermost occupied
(valence) shell of an atom
Valence Shell
- the outermost occupied shell of an
atom
Metals
- 1, 2, or 3 valence electron = give up
- Ex: Sodium (Na) 11 = 1s2 ) 2s2 2p6 ) 3s1 COVALENT BOND
- nonmetal to non-metal
Nonmetals - sharing of electron pairs between atoms
- 5, 6, or 7 valence electron = gain electron - ex: Cl2
- Ex: Chlorine (Cl) 17 = 1s2) 2s2 2p6) 3s2 3p5
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
Metalloids - ability to gain electron
- 4 valence electron
Inert Gases
- 8 valence electron
COORDINATE COVALENT BONDING MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
- a pair of electrons are shared in one atom
- ex: C6 + O8 INORGANIC ORGANIC
Most are ionic Most are covalent
High melting point Low melting point
High boiling point Low boiling point
Water soluble Water insoluble
Insoluble in non polar Soluble in non polar
solvent solvent
ORGANIC COMPOUND
1. Hydrocarbons
- contains basic elements (C, H)
Aliphatic HCs
a. Alkanes - single C-C
- have 3 hydrogen atoms
POLAR - ex: Butane
- unequal - saturated
- δ+ = Partial positive
- δ- = Partial negative b. Alkenes - double C-C
- have 2 hydrogen atoms
- ex: Ethene
- unsaturated
NONPOLAR
- equal sharing
- mostly are covalent Aromatic HCs
- ex: Benzene
Alicyclic HCs
2. C==O
2. Hydrocarbon Derivatives
- general term of many kinds of complicated Aldehydes
compound derived from hydrocarbon
molecules with one or more hydrogen
atoms being substituted by other atoms or Carbonyl group
atoms groups
Ketones
CHO - ex: Acetone
1. C---O
Alcohols
- R-OH (Hydroxyl group)
- R = alkyl
Alkyl grorup
[derived from HCs
3. O==C==O
Carboxylic Acids
Ether
- R-O--R
4. ESTERS
CHN
1. AMINES
- R-NH2
- C, H, N, O
2. AMIDES
Basic structure of
proteins
HALOGEN CONTAINING
- X (Cl, Br, I)
- R-X
THIOLS
- R-SH
