PT Review and Intro to Atomic Structure

Notes for Page 21.

In neutral (n) atoms
       Proton # is = to Electron #.

In all atoms
     Mass # is = p + n

Atoms
- Smallest unit of an element that retains elemental properites
   (Dalton's Postulates)
- Are made of Subatomic particles (sub = smaller than, atomic = atom: smaller than an atom)
    1) Protons
         * found in the nucleus
         * charge of +1
         * mass = 1 amu
    2) Neutrons
         * found in the nucleus
         * no charge (neutral)
         * mass = 1 amu
    3) Electrons
         * found in the electron cloud
         * charge of -1
         * negligible (no) mass

Accuracy vs. Precision

Notes for Page 15.

Science is based on measurement.
Scientists test the same measurement over and over.

Accuracy
Closeness to the True Value
When a measurement equals the True Value

True Value is what you expect to get.
It is also referred to as the Accepted Value or the Given Value.

Ex.
Hits the Bulls eye

Precision
Degree of reproduce-ability
When you get the same number over and over.

You can be precise, but not accurate.
You can be accurate, but not precise.
You can be precise and accurate.

The Periodic Table of Elements

Notes for Page 13

Chemistry hinges on The Periodic Table.

This is the Periodic Table that will be given to you when you take TAKS. (click to view a larger picture)

You can find multiple things on this Periodic Table (PT from here on out).

1) At the top is a picture of the element Silicon. In this picture, TAKS shows you where the Atomic Number, Atomic Mass, Symbol, and Name can be found.

Atomic Number = # of protons
Atomic Mass = average atomic mass of the element, # protons + # neutrons

2) Across the top of the PT are Roman Numerals IA-VIIIA. These are called Groups and will help you find valence electron number and oxidation number.

3) Down the PT are numbers 1-7. These are referred to as Periods and tell you how many orbitals an element has.

4) There is a bold line that looks like a "staircase." Along this line are the elements Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium. These are Metalloids.

5) To the left of the metalloids are metals. To the right of the metalloids are non-metals.

6) The elements in Group 1 are the Alkali Metals.

7) The elements in Group 2 are the Alkaline Earth Metals.

8) The elements in Groups 3-12 are the Transition Metals.

9) The elements in Group 17 are the Halogens.

10) The elements in Group 18 are the Noble Gases.

This is a great website that shows the PT according to names of groups and allows you to click on individual elements.

Significant Figures

Scientists use varying pieces of equipment. Different pieces of equipment measure to a different degree of preciseness.
For example : One scale might measure to the hundredths place (.12) while another scale might measure to the thousandths (.120).

We have to account for this when we add, subtract, multiply, or divide numbers of varying preciseness.

We do this by using Significant Figures.

Rules:

1. Any non-zero number (1-9) is significant.
Ex.
      12 has 2 significant figures: 12
           - both 1 and 2 are non-zeroes

      12.3 has 3 significant figures:  12.3
           - 1, 2, and 3 are non-zeroes

2. Any zero between a non-zero is significant.
Ex.
      101 has 3 significant figures: 101
           - 1 is significant (Rule #1)
           - the zero is between the ones     
    
     1002 has 4 significant figures: 1001
          - 1 and 2 are significant (Rule #1)
                - the 2 zeroes between them are significant

3. Any zero before the first non-zero is not significant.
Ex.
      0.102 has 3 significant figures: 0.102 
          - 1 and 2 are significant (Rule #1)
               - the zero between the 1 and 2 is significant (Rule #2)
               - The first zero is not significant because it comes before the first non-zero.    
     
      0.00012 has 2 significant figures: 0.00012
           - 1 and 2 are significant (Rule #1)
               - All of the zeroes are before the first non-zero and are not significant

4. Any zero after a non-zero with a decimal point is significant.
Ex.
      1.0 has 2 sig figs: 1.0 
          - the 1 is significant (Rule #1)
               - the 0 is significant because there is a decimal     

     1.2030 has 5 sig figs: 1.2030 
          - the 1,2, and 3 are significant (Rule #1)
              - the first zero is between two non-zeros and is significant (Rule #2)
              - the last zero is after the last non-zero and there is a decimal point.

5. Any zero after a non-zero without a decimal point is not significant.
Ex.
      10 only has 1 sig fig: 10
         - 1 is significant (Rule #1)
              - there is no decimal point     
  
     1010 has 3 sig figs: 1010 
         - 1 is significant (Rule #1)
             - the first zero is between two non-zeros (Rule #2)
             - the last zero is not accompanied by a decimal and is therefore not significant.

Adding and Subtracting
When you add or subtract numbers the answer should be rounded to the lowest number of decimal places.

Steps:
1) Add or subtract as the problem states.
        12.03 + 1.9 = 13.93

2) Identify # of decimal places
        12.03 + 1.9 = 13.93Ex.
             2 dp          1dp 

3) Identify lowest number of decimal places
        1.9 has only 1 decimal place

4) Round answer to match the lowest number of decimal places
       Since the lowest number of decimal places is 1 my answer can
       only have 1 decimal place.
      13.93 is rounded to 13.9.

5) Correct Answer: 13.9

      2.5233 - .125874 = 2.397426
          4 dp                6dp               2.3974 is the correct answer    
   
      35.63 + .2586 = 35.8886
        2 dp             4 dp         35.89 is the correct answer

Multiplication and Division
When you multiply or divide numbers the answer should be rounded to the lowest number of significant figures.

Steps:
1) Carry out multiplication or division as usual.
      12 x 30 = 360

2) Identify numbers of significant figures.
     12 has 2 sig figs (Rule #1)
     30 has 1 sig fig (Rule #1 and #5)

3) Identify lowest number of sig figs
     30 has 1 sig fig which is the lowest number of sig figs

4) Round the answer to the lowest number of sig figs.
    360 has 2 sig figs (Rule #1 and #5) and will round to 400 to match 1 sig
    fig.

5) Correct Answer: 400

Ex.
      30560 x 101 = 3086560
       4 sig figs      3 sig figs    3090000 is the correct answer
         (R #1,2,5)   (R #1,2)     
 
      65 / 200 = 0.325
      2 sf      1 sf         0.3 is the correct answer
      (R#1)    (R#1,5)   *Note that the 2 and 5 are not turned to 0s like in the first example. These zeroes
                                                  would be significant based on Rule #4 and would give the answer 3 sig figs.

Intensive/Extensive

There are two categories of physical properties:
1) Intensive
2) Extensive

Intensive
Intensive properties are properties that are independent of the amount of matter present.

Ex.

Color - your hair remains the same color after you cut it (decrease the amount of matter present)

DENSITY - density is a ratio and does not change if the state of matter remains the same

Odor - 1/2 of a lemon smells like a lemon, 1/4 of a lemon smells like a lemon

Boiling point - 100 mL of water will boil at 100 degrees F, 200 mL of water will boil at 100 degrees F

Freezing point - 100 mL of water will freeze at 0 degrees F, 200 mL of water will freeze at 0 degrees F

Extensive
Properties that depend on the amount of matter present.

Ex.

Measurements - if I cut a 6 inches straw in half (remove matter), it is no longer 6 inches

Mass - if I remove 5 g from a 10 g sample (remove matter), it no longer weighs 10 g

Volume - if I add 10 mL to a 5 mL (add matter), it no longer has a volume of 5 mL
