CHAPTER 1 Chemistry
Chemistry is a branch of science that focuses on the structure,

composition, and properties of matter.
MATTER
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass (i.e., anything that
has density).It commonly exists in three phases: solid, liquid, and
gas.
I. THE THREE PHASES OF MATTER:
n Solid – is composed of particles that are tightly packed and

have a regular arrangement. It has definite shape and
volume.
o Liquid – is composed of particles whose arrangement and

packing are somewhere between those in solid and gas. It
has definite volume but no specific shape (it takes the
shape of its container).
p Gas – is composed of particles with no regular arrangement

and no appreciable packing. It has no definite shape or
volume (it takes on the shape and volume of its container).
A fluid is either a liquid or a gas.

Plasma is a special state of a very hot chemical element whose atoms are
completely stripped of their electrons. Plasma is recognized as a
separate state because it has properties that distinguish it even from
gas.
II. PHASE CHANGES
Sublimation of an element or
compound is a transition
from the solid to gas
phase without passing the
liquid stage.
Deposition is a process in which gas

transforms into solid (also
known as desublimation).
Condensation is the change in matter of a substance to a denser phase, such

as a gas (or vapor) to a liquid.
Evaporation is the conversion of water from a liquid into a gas.

CHAPTER 1 Chemistry
IV. COMMON PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCES

The density of any pure substance is its ratio of mass to unit volume.
Specific gravity is a dimensionless ratio of the density of the substance to

the density of a standard--typically another substance,
usually a liquid, in which the substance in question is
suspended. The usual standard of specific gravity is water,
in which case the specific gravity is numerically equivalent
to the density. But one can also define the specific gravity
of a substance in, for example, an organic liquid, such as
benzene.
The melting point of any pure substance is the temperature at which, under
common atmospheric pressure, that substance changes its
state from solid to liquid. If the substance is a liquid at 25
degrees Celsius, this temperature is usually called the
freezing point.
The boiling point of any pure substance is the temperature at which, under
common atmospheric pressure, that substance changes its
state from liquid to gas. If the substance is a gas at 25
degrees Celsius, this temperature is sometimes called the
condensation point.
The triple point of any pure substance is that combination of temperature

and pressure at which all three phases of that substance
coexist simultaneously.
The specific heat of any pure substance is the amount of heat required to
raise the temperature of a unit mass of that substance by
one degree on a given temperature scale.
The heat of fusion of any pure substance is the amount of heat required to
change a unit mass of that substance, once brought to the
melting point, from solid to liquid.
The heat of
Vaporization of any pure substance is the amount of heat required to
change a unit mass of that substance, once brought to the
boiling point, from liquid to gas.
The critical point of any pure substance is a point on a three-dimensional

graph of temperature, pressure, and molar volume (ratio of
volume to amount-of-substance) beyond which that
substance can exist only as a gas.

V. PROPERTIES OF MATTER:
Properties of matter can be classified as physical or chemical and intensive or

extensive.
n Physical Properties – are properties which can be measured without

changing the identity and composition of a substance.
Examples:
{odor, color, density, boiling point, melting point, polarity, solubility, opacity,
viscosity, etc….}
Physical changes are those changes that do not result in the production of
a new substance.
Examples of physical changes are:

{Melting, freezing, condensing, breaking, crushing, cutting, & bending}
o Chemical Properties – are properties that lead to changes in the identity

and composition of a substance.
Examples:
{Combustibility, Reaction with water, pH, etc….}
Chemical changes or chemical reactions are changes that result in the

production of another substance.
Examples of chemical changes are:
{Digestion, respiration, photosynthesis, burning, rusting, decomposition,

etc...}
p Intensive properties - are those which do not depend on the size of the
sample involved. Some of the most common intensive properties are;
density, freezing point, color, melting point, reactivity, luster, malleability,
and conductivity
q Extensive properties - are those that do depend on the size of the sample
involved. A large sample of carbon would take up a bigger area than a
small sample of carbon, so volume is an extensive property. Some of
the most common types of extensive properties are; length, volume,
mass and weight.

CHAPTER 1 Chemistry
THE ATOM
Atom is the basic building block of matter. It is the smallest particle of element.
An ELEMENT is a fundamental type of matter in which all of the atoms in the

material are the same.
I. FUNDAMENTAL CHEMICAL LAWS
n The Law of Conservation of Mass

“Mass is neither created nor destroyed”
o The Law of Definite Proportion (originally called “Proust’s Law)

A given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of
elements by mass.
p The Law of Multiple Proportions

When two elements from a series of compounds, the ratios of the
masses of the second element that combine with 1 gram of the first
element can always be reduced to small whole numbers.
II. THE ATOMIC MODEL OF MATTER
The Dalton Model: (John Dalton, 1766-1844)
Each element is composed of indivisible particles called atoms.

Atoms of the same element are identical. Atoms of different
elements are different.
Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element
combine. In any compound, the combination of atoms is in a fixed
ratio of small whole numbers.
In a chemical reaction, atoms are not created, destroyed, or
changed into other type of atoms.
The Thomson Model: (J.J. Thomson, 1856-1940)
An atom consists of a (positively charge) jellylike mass with

(negative) electrons scattered throughout it as far as possible.
The Rutherford Model: (Ernest Rutherford, 1871-1937)

Most of the (volume of the) atom is empty space.
Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in a dense, positively
charged nucleus.
Electrons are present in the space surrounding the nucleus.

III. THE SUBATOMIC PARTICLES
Electrons are the negatively charged particles

of an atom.
Protons are the positively charged particles

of an atom
Neutrons are the neutrally charged particles

of an atom.
CHARGE AND MASS OF SUBATOMIC PARTICLES

charge mass location
Proton + 1.6002 x 10-19 C 1.6726 x 10-27 kg nucleus
Neutron 0 1.6749 x 10-27 kg Nucleus
electron - 1.6002 x 10-19 C 9.1094 x 10-31 kg outside
IV. ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBER
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons that is contained in

the nucleus of each of its atoms.
Mass number or atomic weight is the sum of the number of protons and
neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
Formula: Number of Neutrons = Mass number − Atomic Number
V. QUANTUM NUMBERS
Electrons within atoms are characterized by four quantum numbers:
n The principal quantum number, n, determines the energy state of an electron.

It can have integer values of 1, 2, 3, up to n.
o The subshell number , l, defines the orbital shape. Its values start at (n-1),
and become smaller by integer values, ending at zero.
p An orbital number, m, which specifies the spatial orientation of an orbital. It
has integer values going from +1 through 0 to -1.
q Finally a spin quantum number, s, which can have values of +1/2 or -1/2, and
does not depend upon the values of n, l, or m. The electron within an atom
behaves as though it spins on its own axis.
Pauli Exclusion Principle – states that no two electrons in a atom can
have the same 4 quantum numbers. This means that each electron must have its
own unique set of 4 quantum numbers. Two electrons in an atom may have the
same values of n, l, and m, but the fourth quantum number, s, the spin number,
must be different.

CHAPTER 1 Chemistry
ISOTOPES
Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number (that is, same number of
protons) but different mass numbers (that is, different number of neutrons).
35
For example, chlorine occurs in nature in the form of two isotopes, 17 Cl and
37
17 Cl . The composition of these isotopes can be described as follows:
Isotope No. of Protons No. of Electrons No. of Neutrons
35
Cl 17 17 18
17
37
Cl 17 17 20
17
Atoms of different atomic numbers but of the same mass number are called
isobars.
ISOTOPE DESIGNATION
The symbol for one particular type of chlorine atom is written as
Cl
Mass number 37
Atomic number 17
Sample Problem
Silver has two isotopes. One has 60 neutrons while the other has 62. The
atomic number of silver is 47.Write the symbols for these two isotopes of
silver.
Solution:
For the first isotope of silver:

mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
= 47 + 60
= 107
" Symbol: 107 47 Ag
For the second isotope of silver:

mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
= 47 + 62
" Symbol: 109
47 Ag = 109

MOLECULES
A MOLECULE is the smallest identifiable sample of a substance.

All materials are made up of molecules and in turn are made up of atoms.
Monatomic molecules contain one atom

Diatomic molecules contain two atoms
Triatomic molecules contain three atoms
Polyatomic molecules describes any molecules that contain more than one
atom
Every molecule can be represented by a molecular formula, in which the
symbol of the element is succeeded by a subscript that indicates the number
of atoms present. The presence of one atom is indicated by writing the
symbol without the subscript 1.
Example: (Molecular Formulas of Some Common Molecules)

Diatomic Molecules Polyatomic Molecules
Elements Compounds Elements Compounds
H2, N2, O2, Fe2 CO, HCl O3, P4, C60 H2O, CO2, CH4
NAMING MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS

Molecular compounds are named using Greek prefixes that indicate how
many atoms of an element are present in a molecule of a compound.
Examples:
CO - carbon monoxide
SO2 - sulfur dioxide
N2O3 - dinitrogen trioxide
H2O - dihydrogen monoxide
Note that the prefix “mono” is never used for the first element, as in
carbon monoxide rather than monocarbon monoxide and the ending –a
of the prefix is omitted when the next letter is a vowel, as in tetroxide
rather than tetraoxide.

IONS
An ion is an atom or molecule, which has lost or gained one or more
electrons, making it positively or negatively charged.
9 A positively charged ion is called cation.
9 A negatively charged ion is called anion.
9 A monatomic ion is an ion consisting of a single atom.
9 A radical ion is an ion that contains an odd number of electrons and are
mostly very reactive and unstable.
9 A dianion is an ion which has two negative charges on it.
9 A polyatomic ion is an electrically charged particle that consists of two or
more atoms linked together in much the same way as in neutral
molecule.
Oxyanions are polyatomic ions containing oxygen, such as carbonate and
sulfate.
NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS

In naming ionic compound:
9 Combine the names of the two elements that make up the
compound.
9 The ion that has a positive charge will be place first followed by the
ion with the negative charge.
9 Add the suffix –ide at the end of the name
EXAMPLES: NaBr is sodium bromide

NaCl is sodium chloride
AlF3 is aluminum fluoride

For example, iron can exist as the Fe2+ or Fe3+ ion and, therefore can form two
oxides, namely FeO and Fe2O3. These compounds can be named as iron(II) oxide
and iron(III) oxide, respectively.

CHEMICAL BONDING
A chemical bond is a force which holds a group of atoms together so as to form

an electrically neutral aggregate.
n IONIC BOND
Ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction of ions of opposite
charge formed by electron transfer. It involves a metal and a non-metal.
o COVALENT BOND
A covalent bond is form of chemical bonding in which electrons are
shared between two atoms. It involves two non-metals.
Bond Energy is the amount of energy involved in the formation and

breaking of a bond.
Bond order pertains to single bond, double bond, triple bond and those
intermediate between single and double bonds, etc.
Bond Length is the distance between the nuclei of the atoms forming the
bond.

CALCULATIONS
n ATOMIC MASS
The atomic mass (or atomic weight) of an element is the average of the
element’s isotopic masses.
CALCULATING AVERAGE MASS OF AN ELEMENT
Atomic mass = ( m1p1 + m2p 2 + m3p3 + ...)

Where mn = mass of isotopes 1,2,3...
p n = percent abundance of isotopes 1,2,3...
Example
Calculate the average atomic mass of magnesium which has three
isotopes consisting of the following: 79% of 24 25
12 Mg , 10% of 12 Mg , and
26
11% of 12 Mg .
Solution:
average atomic mass = ( 0.79 )( 24 ) + ( 0.10 )( 25) + ( 0.11)( 26 )
= 24.32
Thus, the average mass of magnesium is 24.32 amu.

o FORMULA MASS
The formula mass (or formula weight) is the sum of the masses of all atoms in
a given formula.
CALCULATING formula mass
Find the formula mass of the compound CuSO4.
Solution:
Multiply the atomic mass of each element to the number of atoms of the
same element present in the given compound:
Cu ; 63.55 amu × 1 = 63.55 amu
S ; 32.07 amu × 1 = 32.07 amu
O ; 16.00 amu × 4 = 64.00 amu
Then, add the resulting atomic masses:
formula mass = 63.55 + 32.07 + 64.00
= 159.62 amu
p MOLE CONCEPT & MOLAR MASS
A mole is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of
chemical units, as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12.
EXAMPLE:
Mass of 1 atom of silver = 108 amu
Mass of 1 mole of silver = 108 g
Molar mass of silver = 108 g/mol

t EMPIRICAL FORMULA
An empirical formula is a formula that gives the simplest whole-number

ratio of atoms in a compound.
Steps for Determining an Empirical Formula
n Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the

problem.
If percentages are given, assume that the total mass is 100 grams so that
the mass of each element = the percent given.
o Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass
from the periodic table.
p Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

q Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the
elements and is represented by subscripts in the empirical formula.
If the number is too far to round (x.1 ~ x.9), then multiply each
solution by the same factor to get the lowest whole number
multiple.
e.g. If one solution is 1.5, then multiply each solution in the

problem by 2 to get 3.
e.g. If one solution is 1.25, then multiply each solution in the
problem by 4 to get 5.
EXAMPLE:
Chemical analysis of methyl ether showed it to be composed of

52.17%C,13.05%H, and 34.78%O. Determine its empirical formula.
Solution:
Converting percent to grams by assuming 100g of the compound, we
determine the number of moles in each mass using atomic masses of
each as unit conversion factors:
⎛ 1 molC ⎞
52.17 gC ⎜ ⎟ = 4.344 mol C
⎝ 12.01 g C ⎠
⎛ 1 mol H ⎞
13.05 gH ⎜ ⎟ = 12.9 mol H
⎝ 1.01 g H ⎠
⎛ 1 mol O ⎞
34.78 g O ⎜ ⎟ = 2.174 mol O
⎝ 16.00 g O ⎠
Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated and
round off to the nearest whole number.
⎛ 1 molC ⎞ 4.344
52.17 gC ⎜ ⎟= mol C → 1.998 ≈o
⎝ 12.01 g C ⎠ 2.174
⎛ 1 mol H ⎞ 12.9
13.05 gH ⎜ ⎟= mol H → 5.93 ≈s
⎝ 1.01 g H ⎠ 2.174
⎛ 1 mol O ⎞ 2.174
34.78 g O ⎜ ⎟= mol O →n
⎝ 16.00 g O ⎠ 2.174
Thus, the empirical formula of methyl ether is C2H6O

u MOLECULAR FORMULA
Once the empirical formula is found, the molecular formula for a
compound can be determined if the molar mass of the compound is
known.
Steps for Determining molecular Formula
1. Find the empirical formula
2. Find the mass of the empirical unit.
3. Divide the molecular mass of the compound by the mass of the empirical formula.
4. Multiply all the atoms (subscripts) of the empirical formula by this ratio to find the
molecular formula.
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
By chemical analysis, a compound was found to be composed of 75.46% carbon,

4.43% hydrogen, and 20.10% oxygen. Its molecular mass was found to be
approximately 318 g/mol. What is the molecular formula for this compound?
Solution:
Find the empirical formula.
Get the mass of each element by assuming a certain overall mass for the sample
(100 g is a good mass to assume when working with percentages).
(0.7546) (100 g) = 75.46 g C

(0.0443) (100 g) = 4.43 g H
(0.2010) (100 g) = 20.10 g O
Convert the mass of each element to moles.
(75.46 g C) (1 mol/ 12.00 g C) = 6.289 mol C
(4.43 g H) (1 mol/ 1.008 g H) = 4.39 mol H
(20.10 g O) (1 mol/ 16.00 g O) = 1.256 mol O
Find the ratio of the moles of each element.

(1.256 mol O)/ (1.256) = 1 mol O
(6.289 mol C)/ (1.256) = 5.007 mol C
(4.39 mol H)/ (1.256) = 3.50 mol H
Use the mole ratio to write the empirical formula.

Since the ratio 3.5 is too far to round off, multiply the mole ratios by two to get
whole number. The empirical formula becomes:
C10H7O2
Find the mass of the empirical unit.

10(12.00) + 7(1.008) + 2(16.00) = 159.06 g/mol
Divide the molecular mass of the compound by the mass of the empirical formula.
(318 g/mol) / (159.06 g/mol) =1.999 ≈ 2 empirical units per molecular unit
Multiply all the atoms (subscripts) of the empirical formula by this ratio and write
the molecular formula. C20H14O4

CHAPTER 1 Chemistry
CLASSIFICATION OF
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
A chemical reaction is a process in which a substance or a combination of

substances undergo a change in appearance or properties, and further
transform into a different substance or a combination of new substances
n DIRECT COMBINATION OR SYNTHESIS

A direct combination or synthesis reaction
involves the combination of two or more ACTIVITY SERIES
reactants to form one product. The reactants can
be elements or compounds. METALS NONMETALS
M M
General Equation:
A + B → AB
L
o DECOMPOSITION
A decomposition reaction involves the
breakdown of a single reactant into two or more
products.
General Equation: M- most

L - least
AB → A + B
p SINGLE – REPLACEMENT REACTIONS

In a single – replacement reaction, an
uncombined element replaces another element
that is part of a compound. As a result, the
replaced element becomes uncombined.
General Equation:
A + BC → AC + B
q Double – Replacement Reactions

In a double-replacement reaction, two elements
in different compounds replace each other.
General Equation:
AB + CD → AD + CB L

and all solutes.
Suppose a solution contains two components, A and B. The mole fraction

(X) of components A or B is denoted as follows:
nA nB
XA = or XB =
nA + nB nA + nB
Where:
N = number of moles of each component present
o NORMALITY
The number of gram equivalent weights of solute per liter. A solution is “
normal” if there is exactly one gram equivalent weight per liter.

volume solution
t DILUTION
Dilution is the process of adding solvent (usually water) to a

concentrated solution to achieve a solution of the desired concentration.
When we dilute a solution, we do not change the number of moles of
solute present, we simply add more solvent. Thus,
Moles of solute after dilution=Moles of solute before dilution

nafter = nbefore
( MV )after = ( MV )before
