I. Scientific methodChemisty Chapter 1 NotesI. Scientific method- Steps of The Method1. Observation2. Formulation of Hypothesis3. Prediction4. Testing- Law vs. Theoryo Law: Summarizes many observationso Theory: Provides an explaination for laws, cannot be proven- Molecular Perspectiveo Chemists are interested in the dtructure ofmatter at the particulate levelo Matter is the physical materials found in ourenvironment, consists of atoms and moleculesII. Birth of Modern Chemistry- Lavoisier Debunks Phlogistron Theoryo Phlogiston Theory: Originally it was believed materials that burn contain phlogiston and burning it left a residueo Lavoisier realized this was false when he discovered the Law of Conservation Masso Lavoisier is considered: Father of Modern Chemistry Founder of Law of Conservation First to classify elements and compounds- Element vs. Compoundo Element: Pure substance, unbreakableo Compound: Pure substance that can be broken into small subunits- Law of Conservation of Masso Mass is never created or destroyed- Law of Definite Proportionso Elements in a compound are always in a constant porportion- Law of Multiple Proportionso When two elements can combine and make multiple compounds, the ratios are represented by two whole numbersIII. Atomic Theory- John Dalton (1804)o Discovered that elements are composed of atoms Found that they are unchangeable and never dissappearo Molecules refer to either elements of compounds Atoms can combine to form compounds- Mass is very important; it’s the cornerstone of modern chemistryIV. Atoms & Molecules- Joespeh Gay-Lussac (1808)o Discovered the Law of Combining Values: Volumes of reaction gases are in simple, whole number ratios- Law of Combining Volumeso H2O experiment: He found that 2H + 1O = H2O- Amadeo Avagadro (1811)o Avagadro’s Law: Equal columes of gas (at controlled pressure and temp, contain an equal number of molecules Figured out that even though oxygen is an element, it is mostly availible as O2 because it is diatomic- The Diatomic Elementso Atoms that are primarily availible diatomically H2 N2 O2 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2- Class Discussiono Atoms consist of protons, neutrons,and electrons Electrons orbit around the nucleus If the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, the element is a normal atom If it loses or gains electrons it is an iono Atoms are measured 1A = 1*10-10 m Roughly 1-5 Angstromso Atomic Composition: Each unit has different weightsV. Mole & Molar Mass- Masso Masses on periodic table are based aroundcarbon Each one was assigned it’s numberbased on C Isotopes have varying mass numbers,but always have the same atomic number- Moleso Number of atoms or molecules present in a sample when the mass is equalto it’s molecular masso Mole: Number of atoms is the relative mass of it’s molecules- Calculating Nucleonso Subrtact atomic number from the mass number to find nuetron number- Molar Masso AMU: Atomic mass unitso Avagadro’s Number (NA):6.022*1023- Mass to Mole Coversionso Conversion Factors: Theappropriate factor that you need tomultiply the given quantity by- Stoichiomentric Factoro Also known as the conversion factoro Limiting Reactant: the reactant of which we have the leastVI. Energy- Kinetic Energyo The energy of a substance is the the sum of its kinetic energy and its potential energyo Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion- More On Energy o Potential Energy: Energy due to position Potential energy in dynamite is a result of the relative positions of the atoms in the moleculeso Energy equation: KE = 1/2mv2o ΔE = final energy – initial energy = Ef - Ei- Systems in Nature seek position of lowest energyVII. Electromaagnetism & Coloumb’s Law- Electromagnetic Force:o Force of interaction between cahrged particled when they’re brought closeto one another- Coloumb’s Law:o Two particles of charge q1 and q2 separated by distance r experiencea force Fo Coulomb’s Constant: k = 8.9875*109 F = kq1q2/εr2 (Equation of Force)- ε is the dielectric constant- q1 and q2 are the charges inCoulomb’s- ε=1 in a vaccum, but ε=79 inwater When F is negative, the force isattractive When F is positive, the force is repulsiveo Opposite charges attract, Like forces repel- Class Discussiono As ion charge increases, the attractive force increaseso As the distance increases, attractive force decreaseso Electrostatic Forces Divalent anions with divalent cations has 4x the energy and 2 monovalent ions Charge on the ions themselves depends on physical properties- Energy Equationso Energy is defined as a force exerted through a distance E = F*ro Change in potential energy can be found by multiplying equation of force by r to get the Energy of interaction E = kq1q2/ε*rVIII.Atomic Structure- JJ Thompson (1897)o Cathode Ray Rays were deflected by electric and magnetic rays, -Found the charge to mass ratios-Cathode rays are particles He discovered there were negatively charged particles- First to discover electrons- Robert Millikan (1909)o Electron Charge Used an oil drum and found the terminal speed of oil droplets, adjusted voltage until it was suspended mid air Using the electrostatic and gravitational forces he was able to determine the charge. The charges all corresponded to -1.6*10-19- Rutherford (1911)o Gold Foil Experiment Observed 1 in 20,000 α-particles were deflected and determined the existence of the nucleus Found it to be 1/20,000 the size of the atomIX. Subatomic Particles- Atomic Numbero The number of protons in the nucleus (Z)- Mass Numbero The sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons (A)o Molecular Weight: sum of atomic weights of all atoms in a moleculeX. Isotopes & Ions- Isotopeso Different form of the same element Same atomic number, different mass The behave differently, as shown o Isotopes in existance are averaged to give usthe mass number on the periodic table.- Chargeo It’s not continuous, it comes in bundles of 1.6*10-19 C Charge of particle = # of protons - # of electronso Atoms have no charge, if they lose or gain electrons they become ions- Ionso Cations: Produced when electrons are losto Anions: Produced when electrons are gained Metals tend to lose electrons Non metals tend to gain electrons Noble gases don’t form ions at allXI. Mendeleev & Periodic Law- Mendeleevo The Periodic Table He arrange elements in order of their atomic masses- Columns form families or
