Heat Release / Glowing

3. Definition: chemical reaction – the process that causes a substance to change into a new substance.
Chemical reactions cause atoms to REARRANGE.
One example of a chemical reaction occurs when cations join with anions.
Na1+
Cl1-
Chemical Reaction

4. Ionic compounds form when cations and anions bond together.
When ionic compounds form, the new compound must have no charge.
In other words, all of the + and - charges must cancel out.
Na1+
Cl1-
Charged
Charged
Neutral!
NaCl

5. Use only the element symbols.
Each cation and anion has it’s own charge. Lets look at the cations first. Please copy into your notes.
Use only the element symbols.
Group 1
1+ Charge
Group 2
2+ Charge
Group 13
3+ Charge
Lithium: Li1+
Beryllium: Be2+
Aluminum: Al3+
Sodium: Na1+
Magnesium: Mg2+
Potassium: K1+
Calcium: Ca2+
Rubidium: Rb1+
Strontium: Sr2+
Cesium: Cs1+
Barium: Ba2+
Francium: Fr1+
Radium: Ra2+

6. And now for the anions:
When a nonmetal becomes an anion, it’s name changes.
Example: Fluorine  Fluoride
Example: Oxygen  Oxide
Group 17
1- Charge
Group 16
2- Charge
Group 15
3- Charge
Fluoride: F1-
Oxide: O2-
Nitride: N3-
Chloride: Cl1-
Sulfide: S2-
Phosphide: P3-
Bromide: Br1-
Selenium: Se2-
Iodide: I1-
Astatine: At1-

7. What happens if the charges DON’T cancel out???
In order to form the new compound, the anions and cations must cancel each other’s charg.
Na1+
Cl1-
NaCl
What happens if the charges DON’T cancel out???
Na1+
O2-
???

8. Why don’t we add another sodium cation to the reaction?
To make Sodium Oxide, there must be enough Sodium Cations to balance the Oxygen Anion.
Na1+ O2-
Na1+
Na2O1
Why don’t we add another sodium cation to the reaction?
It took 2 Sodium
to balance the 1 Oxide.

9. to balance the 1 Magnesium.
Lets try another one. How about Magnesium Chloride?
This stuff is actually pretty easy…
Mg2+ Cl1-
Cl1-
Mg1Cl2
It took 2 Chloride
to balance the 1 Magnesium.

10. Try these on your own:
Aluminum Bromide
AlBr3
Calcium Nitride
Ca3N2

11. The nonmetal comes second. It changes it’s name.
One more thing to remember…the metal always comes first. It keeps its original name.
The nonmetal comes second. It changes it’s name.
Easy!

12. Covalent compounds are named based on the number of atoms they contain.
Prefixes are used to represent the number of atoms.
The Prefixes Are:
Rules:
If the first element has only one atom, it gets no prefix.
The first element uses it’s original name. 1
Mono 2 Di 3
Tri 4
Tetra 5
Penta 6
Hexa 7
Hepta 8
Octa

13. CO2 H2O2 SCl4 Carbon Di-oxide  Di-Hydrogen Di-oxide 
Examples:
Carbon Di-oxide 
Di-Hydrogen Di-oxide 
Sulfur Tetra-Chloride 
CO2
H2O2
SCl4

15. Chapter 6: Chemical Reactions
Section 2: The Nature of Chemical Reactions

16. There are often signs that a chemical reaction is taking place:
Color Change
Gas Production (bubbling)
Energy Transfer (getting hot or cold, glowing)
These signs indicate that something is being changed & new substances are forming.

17. So, in a chemical reaction…things REACT to PRODUCE other things.
Definition: reactants – the substances in a chemical reaction that are changed.
Definition: products - the NEW substances produced in a chemical reaction.
The product must contain the same elements as the reactant.

18. During a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged.
Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen
C8H18 O2 +
H2O
CO2 +
Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen
During a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged.

19. What do we need in order to start the reaction? A SPARK!
Lets look at the reaction of gasoline and oxygen again…
It would be far to dangerous to use gasoline as a fuel if it immediately reacted with oxygen, right?
What do we need in order to start the reaction?
A SPARK!

20. Some chemical reactions need energy in order to begin.
Energy breaks the atomic bonds and allows the atoms to rearrange.
Once the bonds are broken, the reactants rearrange into the products.
BAM!

21. Perhaps the most important rule in chemistry is:
Definition: Law of Conservation of Mass – states that “In a chemical reaction, mass is never created or destroyed.”
In other words, you MUST have the same number of atoms in the reactant as you have in the product.

22. Some reactions release energy as they occur…
Definition: exothermic change – a physical or chemical change that releases energy.
Exo. changes make the air warmer or give off light (or both).
Examples: combustion and condensation

23. Some reactions absorb energy as they occur…
Definition: endothermic change – a physical or chemical change that absorbs energy.
Endo reactions lower the temp.
Examples: evaporation

24. Chapter 6: Chemical Reactions
Section 3: Types of Reactions

25. Some reactions break the reactants apart…
Definition: chemical equation – a representation of a chemical reaction using element symbols.
The  means “yields” or “produces”.
Chemical reactions are classified based on what happens to the reactants.
Some reactions break the reactants apart…
Others causes them to join together.
Others just make them change places.

26. Na + Cl  NaCl H2 + O2  H2O H2 + N2  NH3
When things combine together in a chemical reaction, we call it “synthesis”.
Definition: synthesis reaction – a reaction in which two or more substances combine.
The general formula is:
A + B  AB
Na + Cl  NaCl
H2 + O2  H2O
H2 + N2  NH3

27. A + B  AB H2 + N2  NH3 Na + Cl  NaCl H2 + O2  H2O
A and B represent the reactants…
AB represents the product.
A + B  AB
H2 + N2  NH3
Na + Cl  NaCl
H2 + O2  H2O

28. AB A+B The general formula is:
When a chemical reaction breaks substances apart, it is called “decomposition”.
Definition: decomposition reaction – a reaction in which a compound breaks down into simpler substances.
The general formula is:
AB A+B

29. AB  A + B H2O  H2 + O2 Cl2O5  Cl2 + O2 SO3  SO2 + O3
AB represents the reactant.
A + B represent the products.
AB  A + B
H2O  H2 + O2
Cl2O5  Cl2 + O2
SO3  SO2 + O3

30. In replacement reactions, substances change places.
Definition: single replacement reaction – a reaction in which one element takes place of another to form a new compound.
The general formula is:
AX + B  BX + A

31. AX +B  BX + A
Cl2 + KBr  KCl + Br2
Al + Fe2O3  Al2 O3 + Fe

32. Notice that X takes the place of Y and Y takes the place of X.
Definition: Double Replacement reaction – a reaction in which two elements trade places.
The general formula is:
AX + BY  AY + BX
Notice that X takes the place of Y and Y takes the place of X.

33. Definition: combustion reaction – an exothermic reaction in which oxygen is (usually) a reactant.
Combustion reactions often produce H2O and CO2 as products.
