Slide 40
Drawing diagrams We show electronic structure in circles around
the atom with the lowest energy nearest the nucleus
Slide 41
Electrons and reactions The number of electrons in the outer
shell gives an element its reactivity. For example one outer
electron is VERY reactive for example Li, Na, K, Rb. A FULL shell
is called a NOBLE GAS. These are VERY UNREACTIVE eg He, Ne, Ar, Kr,
Xe.
Slide 42
Noble gases Unreactive gases with full outer shell can be used
inside light bulbs because they do not react with the filament. If
we used air only then the oxygen in the air would react with the
filament and burn it.

Alkali metals We call the metals in group 1 the alkali metals
They are very reactive because they all have ONE outer electron.

more reactive as you go down the group.

because their atoms have _______ arrangements of electrons.
Slide 47
Summary Recall that elements in the same group have the same
number of electrons in their outer energy level Explain that the
outer energy level electrons give an element its properties
Describe how the number of outer electrons can mean that a
substance is very reactive or not reactive at all

The Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry Elements and compounds
Slide 49
What do I need to know? Must State that when elements react
their atoms join with other atoms to form compounds Should Describe
how bonding involves giving, taking or sharing electrons. Could
Explain that compounds involving metals and non- metals involve
ionic bonding and compounds of only non-metals involve covalent
bonding.
Slide 50
Definitions An element is a substance made from only ONE KIND
OF ATOM A compound is a substance made from one or more types of
atoms CHEMICALLY BONDED TOGETHER A mixture is a number of different
elements or compounds NOT BONDED TOGETHER.
Slide 51
Examination questions
Slide 52
Slide 53
Slide 54
Test your knowledge
Slide 55
Why bond? Chemical elements bond in order to gain a full outer
shell of electrons. This makes them stable They can do this by
giving electrons away, gaining electrons or sharing electrons.
Slide 56
Ionic bonding This type of bonding generally happens between
METALS and NON-METALS It involves the outer electrons of the atoms.
Electrons are transferred between the two atoms Ions are formed
which are attracted to each other.
Slide 57
Na gives Cl an electron we call this ionic bonding Ionic
bonding forms IONS which have positive and negative charges and
attract each other
Slide 58
Covalent bonding This type of bonding generally occurs between
non-metals It involves sharing electrons to gain a full shell and
therefore become stable.
Slide 59
Two H atoms share an electron with O we call this covalent
bonding Covalent bonding forms MOLECULES

Slide 64
The Fundamental Ideas in Chemistry Chemical equations
Slide 65
What do I need to know? Must Recall that chemical reactions can
be represented by word equations or symbol equations. Should
Describe how no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction
so the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants. Could
Calculate the mass of a reactant or product from information about
the masses of the other reactants and products in the
reaction.
Slide 66

example burning lithium in air. lithium + oxygen lithium oxide Can
you write word equations for the following

+ H 2 2Mg + O 2 2MgO Na + H 2 O NaOH + H 2 Ca + 2H 2 O Ca(OH) 2 + H
2 4Fe + 3O 2 2Fe 2 O 3
Slide 73

+ H 2 Potassium + water potassium hydroxide + hydrogen 2Mg + O 2
2MgO Magnesium + oxygen magnesium hydroxide Na + H 2 O NaOH + H 2
Sodium + water sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Ca + 2H 2 O Ca(OH) 2 + H
2 Calcium + water calcium hydroxide + hydrogen 4Fe + 3O 2 2Fe 2 O 3
Iron + oxygen iron oxide
Slide 74
Balancing equations Symbol equations need to be balanced
because the number of atoms reacting at the start MUST be the same
as the number of atoms in the products. An unbalanced reaction
cannot properly represent a reaction because there is an imbalance
in the number of atoms in the reactants and products. The mass of
reactants MUST also be the same as the mass of products.
Slide 75
Is it balanced? Ca + H 2 O Ca(OH) 2 + H 2 Mg + O 2 MgO Li + H 2
O LiOH + H 2 C 6 H 12 + 9O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O
Slide 76
Is it balanced? Ca + H 2 O Ca(OH) 2 + H 2 NO! Mg + O 2 MgO NO!
Li + H 2 O LiOH + H 2 YES! C 6 H 12 + 9O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O YES!
Slide 77
Slide 78
Calculating masses We can predict the mass of product from the
mass of reactants because we know that mass is conserved. Example
2Mg + O 2 2MgO If 24 g Mg reacts completely with 16g of O 2 what
mass of MgO is made? 24 + 16 = 40 g
Slide 79
Calculating masses 2Li + 2H 2 O 2LiOH + H 2 A piece of lithium
weighing 7g is allowed to react with 18g of water. We collect 1g of
hydrogen gas in the test tube. How much lithium hydroxide has been
made? 7 + 18 1 = 24 g
Slide 80
Calculating masses C 6 H 12 + 9O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O If 84g of
hexane (C 6 H 12 ) are burnt completely in 288g of oxygen we
measure 108g of water produced. How much carbon dioxide was given
off? 84 + 288 108 = 264 g
Slide 81
How to balance When we balance equations we do not change the
small (susbscript numbers) eg Ca(OH) 2 because this would change
the compound itself We do change the LARGE number in front of the
compound Eg 2Ca(OH) 2 because this changes the amount.
Slide 82
Slide 83
Summary Recall that chemical reactions can be represented by
word equations or symbol equations. Describe how no atoms are lost
or made during a chemical reaction so the mass of the products
equals the mass of the reactants. Calculate the mass of a reactant
or product from information about the masses of the other reactants
and products in the reaction.
