1 2.7 CHEMICAL SYMBOLS AND FORMULAS

2 CHEMICAL SYMBOLS A Chemical symbol is an abbreviation of a name of an element. Capital letter if only one letter. Only first letter capital if more than one letter Element Chemical Symbol OxygenO NitrogenN HydrogenH SodiumNa

3 Sodium comes from the word sodanum, a headache remedy, and it’s symbol (Na) comes from the Latin word Natrium.

4 CHEMICAL FORMULAS A chemical formula is the combination of symbols that represent a particular compound. The chemical formula indicates which elements are present in the compound and in what amounts. Ex. 1: Water molecule H 2 O: 2 atoms of hydrogen, 1 atom of oxygen Ex. 2: Iron Oxide molecule Fe 2 O 3 : 2 atoms of iron, 3 atom of oxygen

6 CHEMICAL SYMBOLS AND FORMULAS Use your textbook page 58-59 to help you answer questions 1-5, page 59. You may also use the periodic table. 1. Why are chemical symbols useful in describing chemicals? The same symbols of the elements are used internationally. Therefore, the symbol can be recognized by another language.

7 2. What are the symbols for the following elements: a) calcium, b) iron, c) chlorine, d) phosphorus, e) copper. a)Ca b)Fe c)Cl d)P e)Cu

8 3. Write the chemical formula for the following: a) A molecule of hydrogen gas that is made up of two atoms of hydrogen: H2H2 b) A molecule of propane gas that is made up of three atoms of carbon and eight atoms of hydrogen: C3H8C3H8

9 4. For each of the compounds in table 2, state the number of different elements present and the number of atoms of each element. What is the total number of atoms in each molecule? Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO 3 1 sodium atom, 1 hydrogen atom, 1 carbon atom, 3 oxygen atoms Calcium carbonate (chalk): CaCO 3 1 calcium atom, 1 carbon atom, 3 oxygen atoms Sodium nitrate (fertilizer): NaNO 3 1 sodium atom, 1 nitrogen atom, 3 oxygen atoms Calcium phosphate (fertilizer): Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 3 calcium atoms, 2 phosphorus atoms, 8 oxygen atoms Sodium chloride (salt): NaCl 1 sodium atom, 1 chlorine atom acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or aspirin): C 9 H 8 O 4 9 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, 4 oxygen atoms Acetic acid (vinegar): C 2 H 4 O 2 2 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, 2 oxygen atoms

10 1 atom of sodium 2 atoms of hydrogen (in a hydrogen molecule) 3 atoms of magnesium 2 atoms of phosphorus 8 atoms of oxygen 13 total atoms 3 carbon atoms
