Significant Figures
Use with Measurements!
1. Leading 0’s NEVER count
2. Trailing 0’s count ONLY if
there is a decimal
3. Trapped 0’s ALWAYS count
Do not use SFs with FACTS
or Counts!
Very important!
Use the measurements
in the ORIGINAL problem to figure out
how many SF’s you need.
Scientific Notation
•
With Scientific Notation, you always have one, and only
one, digit to the left of the decimal place
•
When written in scientific notation, numbers
greater than 10 have positive exponents
•
Numbers between 1 and 10 are not written in
scientific notation
•
When written in scientific notation, numbers less
Scientific Notation continued..
Multiplication
To multiply numbers written in SN, multiply the
coefficients and add the exponents
Division
To divide, divide the coefficients, and subtract the
exponent in the denominator from the exponent on the
numerator
Addition and Subtraction
Before you can add or subtract SNs, you must make the
exponents the same. It does not matter which exponent
you change.
Lab Safety

Confirming Test?
–
Proves that a substance is
present
•
Qualitative Test?
–
Identifies if something is, or
is not, present

ATOMS!
Atoms: building blocks of matter (smallest
particle possessing the properties of an
element)
Elements are composed of only one type
of atom
•
Matter: anything
that occupies space
and has mass
•
Density: Mass
•
Compound—2 or more elements
combined in fixed proportions
•
Molecule—the smallest particle of a
substance retaining all properties of
the substance

Atomic Number vs.
Mass Number vs. Atomic Mass
Atomic Number
•Always the number of protons the element has
•Uniquely identifies the element
•Always a whole number
Mass Number
•
Number of Protons and Neutrons (found in nucleus)…
always a whole number
Atomic Mass
(AMU for a single atom or
compound---grams for a mole)
•
Mass of protons, electrons, and neutrons
•
Not a whole number…why?
Isotopes are
different types of
atoms of the same
element that have a
different number of
neutrons
Identify it this way:

Oxidation—Losing electrons
They occur simultaneously!!

Electroplating
•
Redox Reaction!
•
Requires a Power Source
•
Anode (+) provides
electrons and metal that
provides plating material
•
Cathode (-) receives
Three key points!
1) Reduction is a gain of electrons, Oxidation is
a loss of electrons
2) The reactant that produces electrons is the
reducing agent – it gets oxidized.
3) There can be no oxidation without reduction
and vice versa !

….the more reactive metal forms
dissolved ions and goes into

measurements are equal, a
ratio of these two
measurements will equal 1

1 kg or 1,000 g
1,000 g 1 kg
Choose the one that allows you to cancel
the units!

Percent Composition
Grams of element x 100 % = % composition of
Grams of compound element

with 5.4 g of Oxygen to form a compound
(CaO). What is the % composition?
% Composition refers to
all
the components of
the molecule!

The atoms on the reactant side must be
the same as the atoms on the product
side
Balancing Equations:
Coefficients are used to balance
equations—they reflect the
relative number of units of
each substance involved in
the reaction
Subscripts indicate the number
of atoms present in a

Molecules,
Compounds
•
Molecule: electrically neutral -- group of atoms
(can be same element) that act as a unit
Compound: Molecule with at least 2 different
elements
•
Molecular/Covalent compound: electrically
neutral-- composed of 2 or more atoms,
non-metals
•
Ionic Compound: electrically neutral—
usually
Ionic Bonding
•
Occurs between a metal and a non-metal
•
The result of anions and cations being
attracted to one another—will form an
electrically neutral compound
Valence Electrons?
Involved in bonding!
Naming Rules
•
Cation is named first then anion
•
Cation retains its name
•
Anion ends in “-ide”
–
unless it is a polyatomic ion
Covalent/Molecular Bonding:
Non-metal to a non-metal
Naming Rules for Covalent/Molecular
Compounds
•
Name of 1
stnon-metal
remains the same.
•
Name of 2
ndnon-metal
ends in “-ide”
•
Use prefixes when there
are multiple atoms
•
Use “mono” only for the
2
ndnon-metal, not for the
Some Ionic Compounds…..
Many Transition Metals can give up
different numbers of electrons:
Pb, Hg, Fe, Cu, Sn. (Exceptions to this
include Al
+and Zn
2+)
An example is Iron, which can form
FeCl
2and FeCl
3…Are both Iron chloride?
We need a way to distinguish between
them….
look to the anion
Use Roman Numerals! Use Roman numerals
ONLY when you are writing out the name of
the compound…not when you are using the
symbols!
Octet Rule!
All atoms want to get to the most
stable state or electron
configuration possible
Noble Gases are already in a very
high state of stability: He, Ne, Ar,
Kr, Xe, Rn.
Why are they so stable?
Full Valence shell
Exceptions: H, He, Li, Be (stable with 2
valence electrons)

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
1) Gases consist of tiny particles of
negligible volume that are far apart
2) Gas molecules are in constant,
random motion – kinetic energy—
elastic
collisions (no energy is
gained or lost)
3) Particles move in straight lines and
do not interact with other particles
4) Kinetic Energy is directly
Ideal Gas vs. Non-Ideal Gases
Ideal Gas Real Gas (Non Ideal) Made of particles that have mass Same
Mostly empty space same In constant, random motion same NO attractive or repulsive forces
between particles Some attractive or repulsive forces between particles Particles have NO volume Particles have some volume
Collisions are elastic (no loss of
energy) Collisions are inelastic (some loss of energy)
