2 BASICS OF CHEMISTRY

BASICS OF CHEMISTRY

Day-1
(atom, molecule and ions and atomic number)

Element:
The simplest part of matter which cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical
processes (except by nuclear reactions) is known as an element.

Example: Oxygen, hydrogen, mercury, silver, carbon, uranium are some elements.
From the above definition it is clear that “elements are the pure substances made up of only one kind of
particles called “atoms”. For example, graphite is one form of carbon element and consists of only one kind of
atoms called carbon atoms.

Atom
An atom can be defined as “the smallest particle of an element which takes part in the chemical reaction’’.
Atoms of all elements are not alike. Atoms may or may not have an independent existence. Atoms of most of
the elements are highly reactive.

Molecules Do you Know


Two or more atoms of same element or different elements combine to form a Hydrogen is the most
molecule. Atoms of same element combine to form a molecule of an element abundant element in the
and atoms of different elements combine in a definite proportion to form a universe, while the
molecule of a compound. oxygen is the most
2 Hydrogen atoms  1 molecule of Hydrogen abundant element in the
earth’s crust.
2 Hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom  1 water molecule

Atomicity
The number of atoms present in one molecule of an element is called its atomicity. Based upon the
atomicity, the elements are classified as follows:

Mono–atomic elements (mono one)


The elements having atomicity one are called mono atomic elements.
Argon (Ar), Helium (He), Sodium (Na), Neon (Ne) etc., are mono–atomic elements.

Diatomic elements (Di  two)


The elements having atomicity two are called diatomic elements.
Hydrogen gas(H2), oxygen gas(O2), chlorine gas(Cl2), Bromine(Br2) etc., are diatomic elements.

Tetra atomic elements (tetra four)


The elements with atomicity four are known as tetra atomic elements.
Phosphorus (P4) is tetra atomic element.

Octa atomic elements (octa eight)


The elements with atomicity eight are called octa atomic elements
Example; Sulphur (S8), Selenium (Se8) etc.

Polyatomic elements (poly many)


Elements that are having atomicity more than two are called polyatomic elements.
Examples: P4, S8, Se8 and B12 are some polyatomic elements.

BASICS OF CHEMISTRY 3

Valency
Combining capacity of an element is known as its valency.
or
The number of hydrogen atoms or the number of halogen atoms (F, Cl, I) or double the number of oxygen
atoms with which one atom of the element combines.
For example, 1. In NH3, valency of N is 3.
2. In CCl4 valency of C is 4.
3. In CO2, valency of C is 4.
Valency can also be defined as the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom or group of atoms.

+
Examples: Na (valency 1) SO42 (valency2) etc.

Radicals or ions
An atom or group of atoms either with positive charge or negative charge and exist independently are called
radicals (ions). They are of two types:
 Radicals that are formed by the loss of electrons called electropositive radicals or basic radicals
 Radicals that are formed by the gain of electrons are called electronegative radicals or acidic
radicals.

Ions are formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Ions are of two types

(i) Cation: A cation (positive ion) is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons.

e
For example A   A1 (unipositive ion)

2e
A   A 2 (bipositive ion)

Cations are positively charged ions.

(ii) Anion: An anion (negative ion) is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.

For example

e
A   A  (uninegative ion)

2e
A   A 2 (binegative ion)
Anions are negatively charged ions.

6 BASICS OF CHEMISTRY

Variable valency
It has been found that certain metals exhibit more than one valency. In such a situation metals are said to
exhibit variable valency.

How to name element with two different valencies


If an element exhibits two different positive valences then suffix -ous is attached at the end of the name of
the element for lower valency and the suffix –ic is attached at the end of the name of the element for higher
valency.

Example
Iron exhibits two types of valencies 2 & 3. The lower valency (+2) is the –ous form and the higher valency
(+3) is the –ic.
+2
Fe ---- Ferrous
+3
Fe ----- Ferric

Note: Symbol of the element with variable valency remains same but the valency changes.

Day-2
(Writing chemical formula)

Chemical formula
Symbolic representation of a molecule of a compound is called chemical formula of that substance.
Example: CaCO3 represents the chemical formula of marble.
Chemical compounds are of different types based on the type of elements present in it. They are

(i) Binary compounds


The compounds that are made up of two different elements are called diatomic elements. These are
the simplest compounds.
Examples: H2S, CCl4, H2O, CO2, SO2 etc.

(ii) Ternary compounds


The compounds made up of three different elements are known as tri atomic elements.
Examples: H2SO3, H2CO3 etc.
Chemical formula denotes the exact number of atoms of different elements present in a chemical
substance.

8 BASICS OF CHEMISTRY

How to write a chemical formula: One has to follow the following rules to write the formula of compounds
1. Positive and negative radicals are written side by side with their charges (First positive radical and
then negative radical).
2. The charges are interchanged and written as the subscript and signs are removed.
3. In the final formula there should be no sign. If the subscripts are same, it can be cancelled. No need
of writing 1 in the formula.
4. If the radical contains two or more atoms (compound radical), then it is enclosed in a bracket.

Example:
1. Calcium phosphate
Step1 Step2 Step3
Ca2 PO34 Ca3 PO 4 2
Ca 2  PO 34 
Calcium Phosphate

Catapult : What is the valency of carbon and magnesium in CO2 and MgO respectively?
In CO2, valency of carbon is 4.
In MgO, valency of magnesium is 2.

Naming Chemical compounds from their formulae:


The following rules are applied in naming a compound.

Rule 1 – In binary compounds if one of them is metal the metal is the name first and non-metallic part is
given a suffix “ide” at the end
Eg: NaCl --- Sodium Chloride
Mg3N2 --- Magnesium nitride
Rule 2 – The compound containing two non-metals are named by sing prefix like mono, di, tri etc, which
denotes the number of atoms present in the compound.
Eg: CO -- Carbon monoxide
CO2 -- Carbon dioxide
SO3 -- Sulphur trioxide
Rule 3 – In tertiary compounds, one of which is oxygen and name with suffix – ate at the end provided there
is only one such compound.
If there are two compounds the one with more oxygen is named with suffix – ate ending and the one with less
oxygen is name with – ite as the suffix.
Eg: NaNO3 ----- Sodium nitrate
NaNO2 ----- Sodium nitrite
CaSO4 ----- Calcium sulphate
CaSO3 ----- Calcium sulphite
Rule 4 - If in a compound oxygen is less than the oxygen present in a compound ending with – ite then it is
given the prefix hypo –, in the beginning and if oxygen is present in a compound ending with –ate is more,
then it is given the prefix per- in the beginning.
KClO ---- Potassium hypochlorite
KClO2 ---- Potassium chlorite
KClO3 ---- Potassium chlorate
KClO4 ---- Potassium perchlorate

Atomic number (Z)


The atomic number of an element is defined as the no of unit positive charges present in the nucleus of an
atom of that element.
 It denotes the number of protons or the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
 The chemical identity of an atom can be determined solely by its atomic number
Eg: Carbon atomic number is 6. This means that each neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6
electrons.

Mass Number (A)


The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an element.
 Mass number is also called nucleon number and it is denoted
by letter A.

Mass number = no. of protons + number of neutrons


= Atomic number + number of neutrons
A =Z +n
or n = A – Z

Symbolic representation of elements


The atom of an element X having mass number (A) and atomic number (Z) may be represented by a symbol,

Atomic Terms
1. Isotopes: Atoms of same element, having same atomic number but different mass numbers are
called isotopes.
Mass number of all the atoms of same element is not same. The chemical properties of an element
remain the same irrespective of their mass numbers.

What is a limiting reagent? How it is useful in chemical equation


Quite often, one of the reactant is present in larger amount than the other as required according to balanced
equation. The amount of the product formed then depends upon the reactant which has reacted completely.

Limiting Reagent :- The reactant which reacts completely in the reaction is called the limiting reagent (or)
limiting reactant.

Excess Reagent:-
The reactant which is not consumed in the reaction is called excess reagent.

Example 5: When 5 moles of N2 reacts with 5 moles of H2

percentage represent the masses of the elements in grams.

Step 2: To calculate the number of moles. Divide the percentage (mass is given) of each element by its
atomic mass. This gives the number of moles of different elements thus calculated represent the relative
number of moles.

Step 3: To calculate the simplest molar ratio. Divide the moles obtained in step -1 by the least value amongst
the value obtained for each element. This gives the simplest molar ratio.

Step 4: To calculate the simplest whole number ratio multiply all the simplest atomic ratios by suitable
integer.

Day-12
Volume – Volume Related Calculations

1. What is the volume of hydrogen gas required to react completely with 10 L of oxygen gas to
produce water vapor?
Sol: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. This means that 2 moles of
hydrogen gas react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water vapor. Since the volume
of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can use the mole ratio to calculate the
volume of hydrogen gas required. If 1 mole of oxygen gas occupies 22.4 L at standard temperature
and pressure (STP), then 10 L of oxygen gas contains 10/22.4 = 0.4464 moles of oxygen gas.
Therefore, we need 2 x 0.4464 = 0.8928 moles of hydrogen gas, which occupies
0.8928 x 22.4 = 19.98 L at STP.

2. If 5 L of hydrogen gas is mixed with 10 L of oxygen gas and ignited, what volume of water
vapor is produced?
Sol: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. This means that 2 moles of
hydrogen gas react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water vapor. Since the volume
of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can use the volume ratio to calculate the
volume of water vapor produced. The total volume of gas before the reaction is 5 L + 10 L = 15 L.
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 2 moles of water vapor are produced for every 1 mole
of oxygen gas consumed. Since 1 mole of oxygen gas occupies 22.4 L at STP, 10 L of oxygen gas
contains 10/22.4 = 0.4464 moles of oxygen gas. Therefore, we can calculate the volume of water
vapor produced as follows: (2 x 0.4464) x 22.4 = 19.97 L.

3. If 2 L of nitrogen gas reacts with 6 L of hydrogen gas to form ammonia gas, what volume of
ammonia gas is produced?
Sol: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3. This means that 1 mole of
nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas to produce 2 moles of ammonia gas. Since the
volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can use the volume ratio to
calculate the volume of ammonia gas produced. If 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at STP, then 2
L of nitrogen gas contains 2/22.4 = 0.0893 moles of nitrogen gas, and 6 L of hydrogen gas contains
6/22.4 = 0.2679 moles of hydrogen gas. Therefore, we can calculate the volume of ammonia gas
produced as follows: (2 x 0.0893) x 22.4 = 4.00 L.

4. If 10 L of nitrogen gas reacts with excess hydrogen gas to form ammonia gas, what volume of
ammonia gas is produced?
Sol: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3. This means that 1 mole of
nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas to produce 2 moles of ammonia gas. Since the
volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can use the volume ratio to
calculate the volume of ammonia gas produced. If 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at STP, then
10 L of nitrogen gas contains 10/22.4 = 0.4464 moles of nitrogen gas. Since hydrogen gas is in
excess, we assume all of the nitrogen gas reacts to form ammonia gas. Therefore, 0.4464 moles of
nitrogen gas reacts with 3 x 0.4464 = 1.3392 moles of hydrogen gas to produce 2 x 0.4464 = 0.8928
moles of ammonia gas. Therefore, the volume of ammonia gas produced is 0.8928 x 22.4 = 19.98 L.

5. If 4 L of methane gas reacts with excess oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water

mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas.
Since the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can use the volume ratio
to calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas produced. If 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at STP,
then 4 L of methane gas contains 4/22.4 = 0.1786 moles of methane gas. Since oxygen gas is in
excess, we assume all of the methane gas reacts to form carbon dioxide gas. Therefore,
0.1786 moles of methane gas reacts with 2 x 0.1786 = 0.3572 moles of oxygen gas to produce
0.1786 moles of carbon dioxide gas. Therefore, the volume of carbon dioxide gas produced is

vapor. Since the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can use the
volume ratio to calculate the volume of water vapor produced. If 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at
STP, then 6 L of carbon dioxide gas contains 6/22.4 = 0.2679 moles of carbon dioxide gas. Since
calcium hydroxide is in excess, we assume all of the carbon dioxide gas reacts to form water vapor.
Therefore, 0.2679 moles of carbon dioxide gas reacts with 0.2679 moles of water vapor to produce
