  12. Separation of Mixtures:
  13. Distillation-occurs when a liquid is boiled to produce a vapor that is then condensed again to a liquid. This causes the solid substances that were originally dissolved to stay in the original container and the water to go into a second receiving container.
  14. Chromatography-Involves a solid (stationary phase) and a liquid or gas (mobile phase). The separation occurs because the liquid or gas has a faster rate than the solid.
  15. Paper Chromatography-paper (solid) and a liquid are involved. The liquid travels up the paper and separates according to the heaviness of the individual parts of the liquid

  1. Ionic Bond Notes

Properties

  1. Ionic Bonds are formed by a cation (positive charged metal) bonded to an anion (negative charged nonmetal)
  2. Metal loses one or more electrons
  3. Nonmetal gains one or more electrons

Note: Static electrical attraction is the basis for ionic bonds, because the positively charged ion

(cation) is attracted to the negatively charged ion (anion)

  1. High Boiling and High Melting point
  2. Forms a 3-D crystal lattice
  3. Crystal lattice bonds are strong and take lots of energy to break the bonds
  4. Usually poor conductors of electricity
  5. Because they are solid and rigid the ions can’t move freely
  6. Only good conductors if dissolved in an aqueous solution where they become electrolytes
  7. Don’t consist of molecules
  8. Strongly bonded
  9. Can form a salt

Ionic Terms

  1. Ion: charged particle
  2. Anion: negatively charged ion
  3. Cation: Positively charged ion
  4. Salt: An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom or a positive radical replaces the H of an acid.
  5. Ex. NaCl
  6. Salts are excellent conductors of electricity because they are brittle solids that can easily be dissolved in an aqueous solution such as water

Ionic Bonding Problems/Diagrams

  • Na (+1) + Cl (-1) → NaCl
  • Ca (+2) + Cl (-1) +Cl (-1) → CaCl2
  1. Naming Ionic Compounds

Many Ionic compounds contain polyatomic ions: ions made up of more than one atom.

  • Polyatomic ions exist as a unit, so never change the subscript
  • If you have to balance an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion then ( )and a subscript must be written
  • Ex. Ca (+2) and PO4 (-3) →Ca3(PO4)2 and named Calcium phosphate
  • Most polyatomic ions are oxyanions
  • Oxyanion is a polyatomic ion composed of an element, usually a nonmetal, bonded to one or more oxygen atoms
  • If a transitional metal and a polyatomic ion is involved
  • Ex. Cu (+2) and NO3 (-1) →Cu(NO3)2 and named Copper (II) nitrate
  • Note that transitional metals with varying oxidation numbers always have to state which atom was used in the chemical compound whether or not a polyatomic ion is used

Rules for Naming Ionic Compounds

  • Name the cation (metal) first and the anion (nonmetal) second
  • Monatomic cations use element name
  • Monatomic anions take their name from the root element name plus the suffix –ide
  • Ex. CsBr is Cesium bromide
  • Determine oxidation numbers of transitional metals compounds before naming to determine Roman number I-IV
  • Ex. Fe2O3 is Iron (III)oxide
  • Some transitional metals only have one charge
  • Cadmium: Cd+2
  • Zinc: Zn+2
  • If the compound has a polyatomic ion, simply name the ion
  • Ex. NH4Cl is Ammonium chloride
  • If the polyatomic ion has an oxyanions
  • The ion with more oxygen atoms is named using the root of the nonmetal plus the suffix –ate
  • Ex. NO3- is nitrate
  • Ex. ClO3- is chlorate
  • Ex. CO3-2 is carbonate
  • The ion with fewer oxygen atoms is named using the root of the nonmetal plus the suffix –ite
  • Ex. NO2- is nitrite
  • The oxyanions with the greatest number of oxygen atoms is named using the prefix per-, the root of the nonmetal, and the suffix-ate
  • ClO4- is perchlorate
  • IO4- is periodate
  • MnO4- is permanganate
  • The oxyanions with one less oxygen atom is named with the nonmetal and the suffix-ate
  • SO4-2 is sulfate
  • The oxyanions with two fewer oxygen atoms is named using the root of the nonmetal plus the suffix –ite
  • Ex. ClO2– is chlorite
  • The oxyanions with three fewer oxygen atoms is named using the prefix hypo-, the root of the nonmetal, and the suffix –ite
  • Ex. ClO– is hypochlorite
  • Polyatomic ions with 2 transitional metal atoms include a Di-prefix
  • Ex. H2PO4- is Dihydrogen phosphate
  • Ex. Cr2O7-2 is Dichromate
  • Some Hydrogen plus a polyatomic ion are named two ways
  • Ex. HSO4- can be named bisulfate or Hydrogen sulfate
  • Ex. HCO3- can be named bicarbonate or Hydrogen carbonate
  1. Covalent Bonds

Properties

  • Nonmetal + Nonmetal (usually)
  • Most common type of bond
  • Covalent bonds form molecules
  • Form by sharing electrons
  • The sharing of one pair of electrons is a single bond (X-X)
  • Another name for single covalent bond is sigma bond symbolized by σ
  • Sigma bonds form from the overlap of a s orbital with another s orbital, a s orbital with a p orbital, or a p orbital with another p orbital
  • The sharing of two pairs- double bond (X=X)
  • Another name for multiple bonds is pi bond symbolized by π
  • Pi bonds form when parallel orbitals overlap to share electrons
  • A double covalent bond has one sigma and one pi bond
  • The sharing of three pairs-triple bond (XΞX)
  • A triple covalent bond has one sigma and 2 pi bonds
  • Bond polarity explains the attraction between the sharing
  • Nonpolar electrons are shared equally Ex. F-F (same electronegativity)
  • Polar electrons are not shared evenly Ex. H-F (different electronegativity)

Intramolecular Forces in Bonds Table

Ionic cations and anions
Covalent positive nuclei and shared electrons
Metallic metal cations and mobile electrons

Intermolecular Forces

Intramolecular forces do not account for all attractions between particles. There are forces of attraction called intermolecular forces.

  • They can hold together identical particles or two different types of particles
  • Also called van der Waals forces

3 types:

  1. Dispersion forces
  2. Sometimes called London dispersion forces
  3. The force between oxygen molecules
  4. Weak forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds:

………

Attraction

Temporary attraction Temporary attraction

←|-←|-

  1. Dipole –dipole: Attraction between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules
  2. Stronger than dispersion forces
  3. The more polar the molecule, the stronger the force
  4. Hydrogen bonds: One special type of dipole-dipole dealing with hydrogen bonds
  • Very strong intermolecular force that is formed with a H end and a F, O, or N atom on the other dipole

Many physical properties of covalent molecular solids are due to intermolecular forces.

  • The melting and boiling points are relatively lower than Ionic (that is why salt doesn’t burn when you heat it but sugar will)
  • Many are gases are vaporized at room temperature
  • Hardness is also due to the intermolecular forces so covalent solids are soft in comparison to ionic solids

Naming Molecular Compounds: Rules for Binary Molecular Compounds are similar to that of naming Ionic compounds except the names include prefixes indicating the number of atoms in the molecule.

  2. CO-Carbon monoxide
  3. N2O4-dinitrogen tetroxide
  4. SCl6 –Sulfur hexachloride
  1. Naming Acids and Bases

Binary acids are acids with only two elements.

Prefix –hydro, stem of anion, and suffix –ic

Exception is HN3: Hydroazoic acid, where the root – azo is used for nitrogen.

Ternary acids are acids that contain 3 elements.

Usually no prefix is used and the suffix is –ic.

Exceptions:

One less O than the most common : no prefix and suffix used is –ous

Two less O than the most common: prefix hypo- and suffix –ous

One more O than the most common: prefix per- and suffix –ic

Ex. HClO3 is the most common: Chloric acid

HClO2 has one less O so: Chlorous acid

HClO has two less O so: Hypochlorous acid

HClO4 has one more O than most common so: Perchloric acid

Ternary bases

Arrhenius bases are composed of metallic, or positively charged ions and the negatively charged hydroxide ion. Therefore, these bases are named by adding the word hydroxide to the name of the positive ion.

Ex. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH.

  1. Characteristics of Acids and Bases

Acids

  1. Liquids are tart, sour, or sharp tasting
  2. They conduct electricity (in solutions)-electrolytes
  3. They produce H2 gas
  4. Usually in liquid or gas form
  5. pH is 0-6.9
  6. Strong acid-have a low pH and completely ionized in an aqueous solution
  7. The closer the substance’s pH is zero the stronger the acid
  8. Weak Acid-have pH closer to 6.9 and are only slightly ionized in an aqueous solution
  9. They react to metals-corrosive

Bases

  1. Commonly found in solid form
  2. Chemical formula except for NH3 has OH on the end
  3. pH range is 7.1-14
  4. Strong base-dissociates completely into metal ions and OH- ions in aqueous solution
  5. The closer the substance’s pH is 14 the stronger the base
  6. Some are not very soluble in water
  7. Weak base-react with water to form the OH- ion and conjugate acid of the base
  8. Some are insoluble in water while others are soluble
  9. Slippery feel because bases react with oils in your skin-soaps and cleaning agents
  10. Are electrolytes

Three primary theories of acids and bases

Theory / Acid definition / Base Definition
Arrhenius / Any substance that releases H+ ions in water solution / Any substance that releases OH- ions in water solution
Bronstead-Lowery / Any substance that donates a proton / Any substance that accepts a proton
Lewis / Any substance that can accept an electron pair / Any substance that can donate an electron pair

Examples:

I.)Arrhenius acid: HCl (g)→H+(aq) +Cl-(aq) Arrhenius base: NaOH (cr) →Na+ (aq) + OH-(aq)

II.)Bronstead-Lowery: HCl (g) + H2O → H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Acid +base→conjugate acid + conjugate base

  • Conjugate acid-is the particle formed when a base gains a H+ ion
  • Conjugate base-is the particle that remains when an acid has donated a H+ ion
  • Conjugate acid-base pair-consists of 2 substances related by the gain or loss of a single H+ ion

III.)Lewis: H3N: (Lewis base) + BF3 (Lewis acid) → H3N: BF3 (Product)

pH

  • pH is a measurement of the H3O+ ion concentration of an acid or a base.

Problem Formulas: (Actual problem examples will be stated in class)

1.)pH=-log[H+]

2.)pOH=-log[OH-]

3.)pH + pOH=14

4.)[H3O+]=10-pH use antilog

5.)[OH-]=10-pH

6.)[OH-]=antilog (-pOH)

7.)Kw=[OH-] x [H+] which equals 1 x 10-14M

Titration

Titration-is a procedure used to bring a solution of a known concentration into a reaction with a solution of an unknown concentration in order to determine the unknown concentration or the quantity of the solute in the unknown.
