● Distillation
- When the components of a liquid mixture are vaporized and then condensed
and isolated.
● Filtration
- Used to separate an insoluble solid from a pure liquid or a solution.
● Chromatography
- where molecules in a mixture are applied onto the surface or into the solid,
and the fluid stationary phase (stable phase) separates from each other while
moving with the aid of a mobile phase.
Sedimentation Density
Calculating percentage composition:
Formula:
𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠(𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡)
% composition = 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠(𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑)
× 100
● Always name the metal(cation) first. It keeps its whole name, e.g. magnesium,
sodium, copper, etc.
● If there is 1 non-metal(anion), its ending is changed to ‘ide’. e.g. chlorine/chloride,
oxygen/oxide, bromine/bromide.
● If there are 2 non-metals with a metal, one of which is oxygen, the other non-metal
gets an ‘ate’ ending, e.g. nitrogen + oxygen = nitrate, carbon + oxygen = carbonate
Naming Compounds:
Polyatomic ions:
● Positive ions:
- Ammonium – NH4+
- Hydronium – H3O+
● –ate ions:
- Sulfate – SO42-
- Chlorate – ClO32-
- Nitrate – NO3-
- Phosphate – PO43-
● –ite ions:
- Sulfite – SO32-
- Chlorite – NO2-
- Nitrite – NO2-
- Phosphite – PO33-
● Other:
- Cyanide – CN-
Non-metals
Metalloids
● Being positioned between metals and non-metals on the periodic table means it has
properties between metals and non-metals.
Inquiry question: Why are atoms of elements different from one another?
(% × 𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑒 1 ) + (% × 𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑒 2)
Relative atomic mass = 100
Bohr Model:
● Electrons move between energy levels by absorbing/emitting light energy
● Energy levels per shell/orbit
● As an electron falls to a lower energy shell, it emits light energy
- Equal to energy difference between two shells
- Corresponds to a specific light energy and therefore a specific line in line
spectrum
Schrödinger Model:
● Quantum Mechanical Approach
● Assumed electrons have wave-like properties
● Shells contain separate energy levels of similar energy called subshells
● Order of energy subshells: 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d….
● Alpha particles are helium nuclei emitted by radioisotopes that have too few neutrons
to be stable → low energy radiation
● Beta particles are electrons emitted when a neutron turns into a proton and electron →
moderate energy radiation
● Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation waves emitted when alpha or beta
reactions leave a nucleus with too much energy → high energy radiation
Periodicity:
Examining the spectrum of bonds between atoms with varying degrees of polarity with
respect to their constituent elements’ positions on the periodic table:
● Ionic:
- No freely moving electrons present
- Ions present only as liquid/gas form
- 3D lattice
- High MP/BP, brittle crystals show strong forces
- Electrical conductivity as liquid
- Not malleable
● Metallic solids:
- Freely moving charged particles
- High densities
- Attractive forces hard to break
- High MP/BP
- Good conductors
- Malleable
● Covalent networks:
- Continuous 3D lattice
- High MP/BP
- Very hard due to fixed positions
- Strong bonds
● Covalent molecular:
- Strong covalent bonds but mainly intermolecular forces
- Low MP/BP
- Insoluble
- Not conductive
