Learning Objectives
  • Concepts:
    • Reaction, combination, element, compound, mixture, atoms, molecules, diatomic molecules, metals, nonmetals,
    • Reactant, product, word equation, chemical equation,
    • Electrolysis, positive electrode, negative electrode, positive terminal, negative terminal
  • Skills:
    • Be able to state that the last syllable of the name of a non-metal is replaced with an –ide when it is part of a compound
    • Recognize that the name of a compound consists of the name of the element that appears first in the periodic table followed by the other one as you move from left to right
3
Learning Objectives
  • Skills:
    • Be able to write word equations for simple combination reaction
    • Be able to write simple balanced chemical equation given diagrammatic representation
    • Be able to draw atomic and molecular diagrams for a balanced chemical equation and word equation
    • Be able to identify different components of a chemical equation
    • State that metals and non-metals, and nonmetals combine to form compound, but metals don’t combine with themselves and form compounds.
    • Suggest appropriate names for chemical compounds produced by simple combination reaction
    • Be able to recognize that some compounds are made up of positive and negatively charged particles
4
Learning Objectives
    • Be able to recognize that atoms may convert into charged particle called ions
    • State that metals form positively charged particles and nonmetals form negatively charged particles
    • Be able to interpret results of electrolysis of salt solutions in term of the movement of charged ions
5
Combination Reaction
  • Combination reactions are ones where the reactants are two different elements which combine to produce a single compound.
  • Element A + Element B ® Compound containing A and B
    • A metal can combine with a non-metal to form a compound
    • Two non-metals can combine to form a compound.

Word Equation

Chemical Equation
  • You will study several different types of chemical reactions and learn to represent them using word equations.
  • Firstly, a few words about equations.
  • A general equation such as following is a chemical short-hand for a host of information:
    • Chemical A + Chemical B à  Chemical C
    • Everything to the left of the arrow is referred to as reactants and everything to the right product(s)
    • “à” means produces or yields or gives or results in
    • “+” on the left side means “reacts with” or “combines with”
    • “+” on the right side means “and”
  • We now start by looking at the different reaction types one by one.
11
1. Combination Reaction
  • Combination reactions are ones where the reactants are two different elements which combine to produce a single compound.
    • Element A + Element B à Compound containing A and B
  • Either a metal can combine with a non-metal to form a compound or two non-metals can combine to form a compound.
  • Two metals cannot combine to form compounds however. (They do mix to give alloys, which is a mixture and not a compound however.)
12
1. Combination Reaction
  • In the lab you observed some dramatic combination reaction, one of which was that between zinc and iodine.
    • Zinc + Iodine à Zinc iodide
  • When a metal (such as zinc) and non-metal (such as iodine) combine to form a compound, the name of the compound is derived by writing the name of the metal first followed by the name of the non-metal whose last syllable is replaced by an –ide ending.
    • Iodine therefore becomes iodide.
    • Similarly oxygen becomes oxide.
    • Nitrogen becomes nitride.


13
1. Combination Reaction
  • Oxygen becomes oxide.
  • Nitrogen becomes nitride.
  • Chlorine becomes chloride.
  • Bromine becomes bromide.
  • Iodine becomes iodide.
  • Fluorine becomes fluoride.
  • Phosphorus becomes phosphide.
  • Sulfur becomes sulfide.
14
Diagrammatic representation: Elements
  • And a representation for a liquid diatomic molecular element (such as bromine) and for a gaseous diatomic molecular element (such as hydrogen or oxygen) are thus:
15
Diagrammatic representation: Compounds
  • Compounds are made up of two or more elements, and therefore their representation must also include two or more different atoms.
16
Combination Reaction
  • So a reaction between zinc and iodine can be visualized as follows:
  •    Zinc + Iodine à zinc iodide
17
Combination Reaction
  • And still others were
    • zinc + sulfur à zinc sulfide
    • sodium + chlorine à sodium chloride
    • Magnesium + oxygen à magnesium oxide
    • sodium + oxygen à sodium oxide
  • In general then:
    • Metal + non-metal à metal and name of non-metal with –ide ending
18
Combination Reaction
  • The names and the products of a reaction between two non-metals are not as easy to figure out and determine.
  • For example, the reaction you observed between hydrogen and oxygen is represented thus:
    • hydrogen (gas) + oxygen (gas) à water
19
Combination Reaction
  • Other reactions are:
    • carbon    + oxgyen à carbon dioxide
    • This is the reaction that takes place when coal burns.
20
Combination Reaction
    • hydrogen + chlorine à hydrogen chloride
    • hydrogen + bromine à hydrogen bromide
    • hydrogen + iodine à hydrogen iodide
    • sulfur + oxygen à sulfur dioxide
