container in which they are placed. The electrons of each atom are constantly in motion
but the particles vibrate in a fixed position. They cannot move around or slide past each
other. Because of this, particles in a solid have very low kinetic energy. Solids also have
a high density, meaning that the particles are tightly packed together.
In a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed than in a solid and are able to
flow around each other, giving the liquid an indefinite shape. Liquids conform to the
shape of its container. They have shape and definite volume. The particles are close with
one another, but not as close as those in solid. Unlike solids, the particles of a liquid can
slide past each other. They are incompressible but once heated, they can expand.

Measurement may be described as accurate and/or precise. The words that are

Systematic errors cause the result to be far from the true value. It can be caused
errors. For example, a tape measure has been stretched out from years of use. As a result,
all of the length measurements are incorrect. Systematic errors are difficult to detect and
of error causes low accuracy. Random errors, on the other hand, cause the results to be
different from each other. These can arise due to random and unpredictable fluctuations
in experimental conditions. For example, the mass of a ring was measured using the same
balance and show slightly different values (14.24 g, 14.22 g, and 14.25 g). Random errors
cause low precision. These can be detected through statistical analysis and can be reduced

Motivation
Grab a one sheet of paper. Cut it in half, and then cut one of the
halves again in half, and again and again.
The fundamental laws laid the foundations of Chemistry. These laws were
inferred from several experiments conducted during the 17th and 18th centuries using a
balance for the measurements. It includes the law of conservation of mass, law of definite
French chemist, Antoine Lavoisier, studied this law. He measured the mass of the
substances before and after the experiment in a closed vessel. He found out that matter
can undergo changes during a chemical reaction but the total mass of the substances
equal to the mass of the reactants. For example, suppose 7.0 grams of silver nitrate
(AgNO3) reacted completely with 4.4 grams of sodium chromate (Na2CrO4). The total
mass of the product of this chemical reaction is 11.4 grams, exactly equal to the total
A French chemist named Joseph-Lois Proust established this law. This law states
that any sample of a given compound will always be composed of the same elements in
89% oxygen and 11% hydrogen by mass. This proportion of two elements will not
In 1808, British scientist John Dalton proposed the law of multiple proportions.
This law states that if elements can form more than one compound, the masses of the
second element that can combine with a fixed mass of the first element are in a ration of
To form the nitrogen monoxide (NO), the ratio must be 14:16. In nitrogen
dioxide, the ratio must be 14:32 because there are two atoms of oxygen present.
Matter is made up of atoms and in 1808, John Dalton proposed an atomic theory

the atoms of another element. Since elements have different properties, their

combine in whole number ratios and not in fractions. This postulate supports the

In the late 1800s, experiments have indicated that atoms are made up of smaller
particles. These particles include the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Joseph John
Thomson discovered the electrons. With his experiments, he discovered that electrons are
negatively charged. In 1920, Ernest Rutherford, who was a former student of Thomson,
concluded that the atom has a very tiny positive nucleus at its center and discovered the
discovered the other type of particle in the nucleus which is the neutrons that have no
charge.
The atomic number of an element represents the number if protons in its nucleus.
The mass number indicates the total number of protons and neutrons and it is an estimate
To get the number of electrons: Simply determine the atomic number of the element. In
To get the number of protons: Simply determine the atomic number of the element,
same with the process of electrons. Always remember that the number of electrons is
equal to the number of protons. In our example, the number of electrons is 103.
To get the mass number: If the number of neutrons is given, simply add the number of
protons to get the mass number. If not, round the atomic weight to the nearest whole
To get the number of neutrons: Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. The
mass number of the lawrencium is 262 and the atomic number is 103. Hence, the number
of neutrons is 159.

but different mass number. The existence of isotopes was shown by mass spectroscopy

Solution:

Ions
Atoms combine to form molecules and atoms can lose, gain, or share electrons to
form ions. When a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an electrically
charged particle called ion. Metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged
cations. Nonmetals gain electrons and become negatively charged anions. The number of
electrons lost or gained is called the charge number. For example, the chlorine atom
Cl + e- → Cl-
An ion that consists of only one atom is called monatomic ion. Examples are Na+,
S2-, and Cl-. On the other hand, the polyatomic ions refer to combined different ions.
Elements that belong to Group 1A of the periodic table can give only one
electron, while those that are in the Group 2A can lose two electrons. The ions are named
Examples: Group 1A
Na+ = sodium
K+ = potassium
Examples: Group 2A
Mg2+ = magnesium
Ca2+ = calcium

Transition metals, from Group 1B to 8B, from the periodic table, vary in the
number of electrons they tend to lose. Dalton differentiated the elements and their atoms
through drawings. However, in the present day, elements are differentiated and
represented through symbols. Many symbols are abbreviations derived from the name of
the element. Some symbols are derived from their Latin names.
• Classical method – the ion with the lower charge ends with –ous, while that with
the higher charge ends with –ic. These suffixes are attached to the first few
syllables of the foreign name of the metal (not its English name). In this case, the
For example, the Latin name of iron is Ferrum. The suffixes must be
after the English name of the metal. For example, Au3+ is named Gold (III) since
there are two charges. Another example, FeF2 is named iron (II) fluoride. Follow
the crisscross rule in applying the roman numerals. Some examples are listed

attaching the suffix -ide to the first letters (roots) of the nonmetal element. For example,
the Cl- is named chloride. Another example, the S2- is named sulfide.
Nonmetals can also form polyatomic ions with oxygen. The anion with lesser
oxygen atoms ends with -ite and the one with more oxygen atoms ends with -ate.
occurred. The formula of ionic compounds is written by combining the symbols of the
cation and the anion. Writing the chemical formula of ionic compounds is done by setting
the charge number of one ion as the subscript of the other ion and this method is known
as the crisscross rule. In naming ionic compounds, the cation is named first followed by
the anion.
Remember this!
A subscript of one (1) is not written in the formula. If the element in the formula
does not have a subscript, the value is understood to be one.
Examples:
compounds exist as molecules. The first element is prefixed and named in full then the
second element is named using its first few syllables and suffixed with -ide. Naming
binary covalent compounds uses Greek prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of the
element present in the chemical formula. The letter “a” in the prefix is usually dropped

II. Answer the following questions below.
Quiz
Ms. Lilia sells shelled peanuts in a store. But she meets customers
asking for 150 peanuts, another for 750 peanuts, and another for 2,000
peanuts. Obviously, it will take Ms. Lilia a very long time to count the
peanuts. What would be another way to count them?
Ms. Lilia takes 20 peanuts and weighs them. She finds out that 20
peanuts weigh 32 g. She calculated it and concluded that each peanut weigh
1.6 g. However, they are not all identical. Some will be heavier while some
will be lighter. What was done was to get the average mass of the peanut and
1.6 g is the average mass of a peanut. However, for purposes of counting,
what is needed is only the average mass.
ATOMIC MASS
The atomic mass of an element is derived from the masses of its stable isotope. To
establish a universal scale for atomic mass, scientists agreed to use the most abundant
isotope of carbon, the carbon-12, as a reference to express the atomic mass of each
element. The unit used for atomic mass is called atomic mass unit (amu). Since elements
may exist in different isotopic forms, a representative atomic mass for an element is

the Avogadro’s number has the value 6.022141 x 1023, which is commonly rounded off to
6.022 x 1023. The mole (symbol: mol) is used to refer to the quantity of particles of a
substance that is equal to the Avogadro’s number. One mole is equivalent to 6.022 x 1023
units.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS
New substances are always produced during a chemical reaction. Chemists have a
chemical equations. A chemical equation shows the relation between reactants and
products in a chemical reaction. Reactants, the starting substances, are placed on the left
side. Products, substances produced, are placed on the right. An arrow points towards
the direction of the reaction. For example, the reaction of hydrogen gas (H2) with chlorine
gas (Cl2) to yield hydrogen chloride. The reaction is illustrated in the figure below.

The oxygen from the product has 4 moles. Balance the oxygen moles from the
Fe = 3 Fe = 3
H=2 H=2
O=4 O=4
Since you added 4 as the coefficient of H2O, the number of moles in hydrogen
will change to 8 (by multiplying 2 by 4). To balance the moles in hydrogen from
the product, divide 8 by the number of moles in hydrogen (which is 2). It will give
3 Fe + 4 H2O → 1 Fe3O4 + 4 H2
Fe = 3 Fe = 3
H=8 H=8
O=4 O=4
Fe = 1 Fe = 2
H=3 H=2
O=3 O=4
Start with the Fe3O4 since it has the greatest number of moles. The Fe from the
reactant has only 1 mole. To balance it with the reactant, simply put 2 as its
Fe = 2 Fe = 2
H=6 H=2
O=6 O=4
The hydrogen from the reactant has 6 moles (3 was multiplied by the coefficient
2). Balance the number of moles in hydrogen from the product by dividing 6
(from the reactant) by 2 since it has only 2 moles. It will give you the answer 3.
Then, write it as the coefficient of H2O. By doing so, the number of moles in
Fe = 2 Fe = 2

Unlike the other two phases of matter, solids, and liquids, gases exhibit different
properties. Gases are described as not having a definite shape and volume. They also
have a much lower density compared to the other phases. Gas particles, being in constant
random motion, collide with one another and with any surface they are contained in. The
movement and collision of gas particles create pressure, along with the temperature and
volume.
