Iron Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutNote by atoms, Hydrogen is the most abundant Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutPeriodic TableGrouped by "common chemistry"1. Chemistry dominated by the number of valence electrons (this is the "group")2. Compounds that are formed nearly always achieve nobel gas like structures (octet rule)3. Periodic Trends (radius, ionization energy,...)4. The 2nd row is very special. Overlapping 2p orbitals leads to pi bonding. Highly electronegative atoms lead to H-bonding Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutPeriodic TableGrouped by "common chemistry"5. Most elements for a stable compound withthemselves making a nobel gas structure as with metallic bonding or network solids or small molecules (N2, P4,...)6. Most everything makes a hydride from ionic hydrides like NaH to covalent H2O to HCl7. Most everything makes an oxide. Basic oxides on the left (MgO), acidic on the right (CO2).Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden Boutvery smallonly a single1s electrongreater electronegativity than other group 1HydrogenIn a group of its own Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutHydrogenelectronegativity of 2.1(nearly exactly the same as carbon)might lose an electron (+1 oxidation state)might gain an electron (-1 oxidation state)2K(s) + H2(g) 2KH(s)2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(g) Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden Bout Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutWho cares about hydgrogen2H2 + O2 2H2Oreaction = 2x(enthalpy of formation of water) -475 kJ mol-1Most energy per mass of any reactionPrinciples of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutThe problem is there is no H2Where to get it?CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)Steam reforming of methane (1000°C, Ni Catalyst)Water gas shift (130°C)CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g) Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutOther fun with H2H+ can oxidize metalsZn + 2H+ Zn2+ + H2 Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutOther fun with H2CuO + H2 Cu + H2OH2 can reduce oxides Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutPrinciples of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutGroup 1 metalsAlkali MetalsAll have a nS1 electronic configurationVery low ionization energyBehave like a metal (easily oxidized)From +1 ion alwayslow boiling and melting pointsreact violently with water (and most anything else)from basic hydride and oxides Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden Bout2Na + 2H2O 2Na+ + 2OH- + H2(g)Is this reaction exothermic?1.
