Some molecules



z Atoms of almost all elements can gain or lose electrons to form charged species called ions.

z Compounds composed of ions are known as ionic compounds.

u Metals tend to lose electrons to formpositively charged ions called cations.

u Non-metals tend to gain electrons to formnegatively charged ions called anions.

Chemical Composition



Calculating the Mass Percent Composition of a Compound

Calculate the molecular massM(C2HBrClF3) = 197.38 g/mol

For one mole of compound, formulate the mass ratio and convert to percent:

%C = (2×12.01)g

197.38g ×100% =12.17%



%C =(2 ×12.01)g

197.38g×100% = 12.17%

%H =1.01g

197.38g×100% = 0.51%

%Br = 79.90g197.38g

×100% = 40.48%

%Cl = 35.45g197.38g

×100% = 17.96%

%F =(3×19.00)g

197.38g×100% = 28.88%

Calculating the Mass Percent Composition of a Compound



1. Choose an arbitrary sample size (100g).2. Convert masses to amounts in moles.3. Write a formula.4. Convert formula to small whole numbers.5. Multiply all subscripts by a small whole number to

make the subscripts integral.

5 Step approach:

Empirical formula



Determining the Empirical and Molecular Formulas of aCompound from Its Mass Percent Composition.

Dibutyl succinate is an insect repellent used againsthousehold ants and roaches. Its composition is 62.58% C,9.63% H and 27.79% O. Its experimentally determinedmolecular mass is 230 u. What are the empirical andmolecular formulas of dibutyl succinate?

O 27.79 gH 9.63 g



Step 2: Convert masses to amounts in moles.

Step 3: Write a tentative formula.

Step 4: Convert to small whole numbers.

C2.99H5.49O


�

nC = 62.58gC×1molC

12.011gC= 5.210molC

nH = 9.63gH×1molH

1.008gH= 9.55molH

nO = 27.79gO×1molO

15.999gO= 1.737molO



Step 5: Convert to a small whole number ratio.

Multiply × 2 to get C5.98H10.98O2

The empirical formula is C6H11O2

Step 6: Determine the molecular formula.

Empirical formula mass is 115 u.Molecular formula mass is 230 u.

The molecular formula is C12H22O4

Reducing agents Oxidizing agents

We use the Oxidation State to keep track of the number ofelectrons that have been gained or lost by an element.

Oxidation States



1. The oxidation state (OS) of an individual atom in a free element is 0.2. The total of the OS in all atoms in:

i. Neutral species is 0.ii. Ionic species is equal to the charge on the ion.

3. In their compounds, the alkali metals and the alkaline earths have OS of +1 and +2 respectively.

4. In compounds the OS of fluorine is always –15. In compounds, the OS of hydrogen is usually +16. In compounds, the OS of oxygen is usually –2.7. In binary (two-element) compounds with metals:

i. Halogens have OS of –1,ii. Group 16 have OS of –2 andiii. Group 15 have OS of –3.

Rules for Oxidation States



Anions (- Q):Groups 15, 16, 17 (VA, VIA, VIIA)Cations (+ Q):Groups 1, 2, 3 (IA, IIA, IIIA)



Assigning Oxidation States.What is the oxidation state of the underlined element in each of the following? a) P4; b) Al2O3; c) MnO4

-; d) NaH

a) P4 is an element. P OS = 0 .

b) Al2O3: O is –2. O3 is –6. Since (+6)/2=(+3), Al OS = +3.

c) MnO4-: net OS = -1, O4 is –8. Mn OS = +7.

d) NaH: net OS = 0, rule 3 beats rule 5, Na OS = +1 and H OS = -1.



Periodic Trends In Oxidation States



Naming Compounds

Trivial names are used for common compounds.

A systematic method of naming compounds is known as a systemof nomenclature.

Emphasize the fact that a molecule is an acid by altering the name.

Ionic Bonding:



When an atom gainselectrons it becomesan anion.

Anion are larger thanthe neutral atom.

When an atomloses electrons itbecomes a cation.

Cations are smallerthan the neutralatom.



The attractive force between + and -charges is called a coulombic attraction

Force of attraction = KQ1×Q2

Geometrical isomerism is an example of stereo-isomerism. This occurs when substances have thesame molecular formula, but a different arrangementof their atoms in space.
