Problem: Estimate the abundance of the two Bromine isotopes, given that the average mass of Br is 79.904 amu. Since exact masses of isotopes not give, estimate from: mass in amu = #p+ + #n:

79Br = 79 g/mol and 81Br = 81 g/mol (approximately).Plan: Let the abundance of 79Br = X and of 81Br = Y and X + Y = 1.0Solution:

79Br = 79 g/mol and 81Br = 81 g/mol (approximately).Plan: Let the abundance of 79Br = X and of 81Br = Y and X + Y = 1.0Solution: X(79) + Y(81) = 79.904

X + Y = 1.00 therefore X = 1.00 - Y (1.00 - Y)(79) + Y(81) = 79.904

79 - 79 Y + 81Y = 79.904

2 Y = 0.904 = 1 w/ sig. figs. so Y = 0.5

X = 1.00 - Y = 1.00 - 0.5 = 0.5

%X = % 79Br = 0.5 x 100% = 50% (Actual: 50.67% = 79Br)%Y = % 81Br = 0.5 x 100% = 50% (Actual: 49.33% = 81Br)

Modern Reassessment of the Atomic Theory1. All matter is composed of atoms. Although atoms are composed of smaller particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons), the atom is the smallest body that retains the unique identity of the element.

2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element in a chemical reaction. Elements can only be converted into other elements in Nuclear reactions in which protons are changed.

3. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons, which determines the chemical behavior of the element. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, and thus in mass number, but not in chemical behavior (much). A sample of the element is treated as though its atoms have an average mass.

4. Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific ratios, as originally stated by Dalton.

Definitions• ELEMENT - A substance that cannot be separated into

simpler substances by chemical means

• COMPOUND - A substance composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions

• PERIODIC TABLE - “MENDELEEV TABLE” - A tabular arrangement of the elements, vertical groups or families of elements based upon their chemical properties - actually combining ratios with oxygen

Elements that lie after a noble gas will loose electrons, and those before a noble gas will gain electrons.Solution: (a) Ba+2, Barium is an alkaline earth element, Group 2A, and is expected to loose two electrons to attain the same number of electrons as the noble gas Xenon! (b) S -2, Sulfur is in the Oxygen family, Group 6A, and is expected to gain two electrons to attain the same number of electrons as the noble gas Argon! (c) Ti+4, Titanium is in Group 4B, and is expected to loose 4 electrons to attain the same number of electrons as the noble gas Argon! (d) F -, Fluorine is in a halogen, Group 7A, and is expected to gain one electron, to attain the same number of electrons as the noble gas Neon!

Chemical Compounds and BondsChemical Bonds - The electrostatic forces that hold the atoms of elements together in the compound.

Ionic Compounds - Electrons are transferred from one atom to another to form Ionic Cpds.

Covalent Compounds - Electrons are shared between atoms of different elements to form Covalent Cpds.

“Cation” - An atom that has lost electron(s) to form “ + ” ions.May be 1 or more e-s. Common with metal elements.“Anion” - An atom which has gained electron(s), to form “ - ”

ions. Common w/ nonmetal elements.Later we’ll learn that group of atoms can also be anion or cation

Mono-atomic (monatomic) ions form binary ionic compounds.

Rules for Families of OxoanionsFamilies 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 thesuffix “-ite”.
