Endothermic Reaction Heat enters the system -breaking chemical bonds is an endothermic reaction
Exothermic Reaction Heat exits the system -forming new chemical bonds is an exothermic reaction
Protons -Positively charged particles found inside the nucleus of the atom -# of ________=atomic number -Never change for any given element ex) oxygen always has eight__________
Neutrons -The other particle found in the nucleus of the atom -carry no electrical charge -Atoms of an element that have a different number of _________ in the nucleus are called isotopes ex) C12 and C13
Isotopes Elements that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
Electrons -negatively charged particles that orbit around the outside of the nucleus -sharing of these forms chemical bonds -Elements are neutral, meaning they have the same number of protons to _________

Periodic Table of Elements Arranges elements into horizontal rows called periods(7) and vertical columns called groups(18)
Groups (periodic table of elements) -also called families -several of these have names; _____ one: Alkali Metals- most reactive; _____ 2:Alkaline Earth Metals; _____ 17:Halogens-most reactive non-metals; _____ 18: noble or inert gases- most non-reactive non-metals
Metals -Appear to the left of the dark "staircase" line -properties include: solid at room temp (except for mercury, which is liquid), shiny lustre, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile
Non-metals -Appear to the right of the staircase -Properties include: gas, solid, and one liquid (bromine) at room temp, dull, poor conductors of heat and electricity, brittle and not ductile
Metalloids -borders the staircase and have some metallic and some non-metallic properties -properties include: some shiny, some dull, some conduct electricity (to an extent), poor conductors of heat, brittle, not ductile
Period Rules The period of an element = the number of occupied energy levels
Group Rules -Elements in the same group have the same # valence electrons
Ions a group of atoms that carry either a positive or negative electrical charge. All atoms tend towards chemical stability like the noble gases- their valence energy levels full. This is achieved by giving up, taking on, or sharing electrons.
Positive Ions Called a cation. Charge is achieved by giving up one or more electrons (-). There are now more protons (+) than electrons, giving it a positive charge
Negative Ions Called an anion. Charge is achieved by taking on one or more electrons (-). There are now more electrons than protons (+), giving it a negative charge
Naming of Anions Anions have names that end in "ide" Ex) Chloride
Ionic Compound -Compounds composed of ions -as two elements react, metal atoms loose one or more atoms to the non-metal, giving them opposite charges. The ions are now attracted to each other and form a very strong bond
-Binary Ionic Compounds are composed of just two elements: forms when a metal (cation) reacts with a non-metal (anion)
Crystal Lattice The regular repeating pattern that holds together cations and anions in an ionic compound
Molecular Compounds Are compounds composed of molecules, and contain only non-metal elements. Atoms form a covalent bond by sharing electrons
Single Covalent Bond A molecular bond that is formed when two atoms share a single pair of electrons (Cl2, H2O)
Double Covalent Bond A molecular bond that is formed when two atoms share two pairs of electrons (CO2)
IUPAC International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists -insures every pure substance has a systematic name -gives information on whether a compound is ionic or molecular, the types of ions/elements it contains, and makes predictions regarding characteristics
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds First element to appear in the name is the one farthest to the left the suffix ide appears at the end of the second element Use prefixes to indicate how many atoms of each element are used
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds The first element in the name/formula is the metal (cation) The second element , the non-metal (anion) has the suffix ide No prefixes Chemical formula shows the simplest whole number ration= of each type of ion
Stock System A way ti distinguish the charge of a cation if multiple are given. Copper (I) would have a one positive charge, Copper (II) would have a two positive charge
Properties of Ionic compounds -have regular crystalline shapes with flat edges in the solid form -High melting point -As a solid, they do not conduct electricity -Conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water- they are electrolytes
Properties of molecular compounds -low melting point -once melted, can usually be heated further w/out decomposing -do not conduct electricity in any state
Acid A substance that reacts and releases hydrogen ions (H+)(aq) in water. HCl(aq) - hydrochloric acid H2SO4(aq) - sulfuric acid
Base A substance that dissolves in water and releases hydroxide ions (OH-)(aq) into the water. NaOH(aq) - sodium hydroxide KOH(aq) - potassium hydroxide (used in liquid soaps)
Properties of acids -corrodes metals -will burn skin- sulfuric acid (battery acid) -Turns blue litmus paper red -tastes sour -loos their acidic properties when mixed with a base -pH of less than 7
Properties of bases -taste bitter -many will burn skin - lye -feel slippery -turns red litmus paper blue -pH of more than 7
pH Scale uses numbers from 0-14 that expresses the quantity of hydrogen ions (H+) in each litre of solution. 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, above 7 is basic
chemical reactions occurs when one or more substances change to form a different compound
evidence of a chemical change -all chemical reactions involve a change of energy -odour change -colour change -formation of a gas (bubbles) -formation of a precipitate (solid)
law of conservation of energy -energy can be transferred from one form to another, but the total energy of the universe remains the same -energy cannot be created or destroyed
formation/synthesis reactions two or more reactants combine to produce a new product. typically exothermic. X + Y --> XY
decomposition reactions one compound breaks down into two or more simpler compounds or elements. typically endothermic. XY --> X + Y
Single replacement reactions one element replaces another element in a compound. A + BX --> AX + B
Double replacement reactions the cations of two different compounds exchange places, forming two new compounds. WX + YZ --> WZ + YX
Hydrocarbon combustion reactions -An organic compound that contains only hydrogen and carbon. -95% of hydrocarbons are burned as fuel. -When burned with a plentiful supply of oxygen, a complete combustion occurs hydrocarbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + heat energy
Molecular Elements Because atoms of the same element can form bonds, some elements also exist as molecules. O2, H2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, P4, S8.
