Lesson 01: Chemical Elements
01 Elements
All physical objects in the universe are composed of matter, all matter is composed of elements, and all elements are composed of atoms.
The Universe is Composed of Matter

02 Atoms and Elements Atoms are made up of three types of particles…
electrons: negatively charged particles which orbit the nucleus
protons: positively charged particles which are located in the nucleus
neutrons: particles with no charge located in the nucleus
An Atom of the Element Carbon
The atomic number, which indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the species of element.
4
Atoms with different atomic numbers are referred to as elements. The way in which all elements are displayed is via the periodic table of elements…
5
The periodic table displays elements using symbols which usually involve the first and second letter of the element or are historical in nature The periodic table is constructed in such a way that displays numerous patterns that exist between the elements (discussed in unit 07).
03 Combinations of Atoms Atoms of a one element may combine to form molecules…
2 2 8H , N , S ...
Or, atoms of several different elements may combine to form multi-atomic molecules...
2 2 2H O, N O ...
6
Of the two types of substances that arise from the combination of elements…
elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances
compounds can be broken down into simpler substances

04 Origin of the Elements
Nucleosynthesis and the Big Bang The process of creating new elements by building up a nucleus with more protons and neutrons is called nucleosynthesis. This process only takes place under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. The first period of nucleosynthesis occurred in the early moments of the universe following the big bang, creating…

helium

Nucleosynthesis and Supernovas
When the first stars formed, another type of nucleosynthesis began in the cores of stars forming…
helium from hydrogen, and
elements up to iron
9
The stage at which iron is being formed usually results in core collapse, and a…
supernova Supernovas can create even heavier elements, up to…
uranium
Supernova (Crab Nebula)
10
Other processes can transforming one element into another…
radioactive decay can break a heavy element forming lighter elements
cosmic rays can break a heavy element forming lighter elements Only tiny amounts of elements heavier than uranium, neptunium, and plutonium are known to exist in nature. All other elements have been made artificially in laboratories.
11
05 Classification of the Elements Chemical elements are broadly classified as…
metals
nonmetals
metalloids
Main Classification Scheme
12
When the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic numbers, elements of similar physical and chemical properties occur at specific intervals. These groups of elements with similar physical and chemical properties are called families. The main families are…

Lesson 02: Naming Inorganic Compounds
Naming Chemical Compounds
With over 10 million known chemicals, and potentially dangerous results if chemicals are combined in an incorrect manner, imagine the problem if you are in the lab and say "mix 10 grams of that stuff in with this stuff". We need to be very clear on identification of chemicals. First, two categories of chemical compounds…
Organic compounds: These contain the element carbon. Life on earth is carbon
based. Organic compounds were originally associated with living organisms, however, a large number of organic compounds have been synthesized which do not occur in nature so this distinction is no longer valid.
Inorganic compounds: All other compounds.
15
Terminology
Ions: An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more
electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge.
Anions: A negatively charged ion, which has more electrons in its electron
shells than it has protons in its nuclei, is known as an anion.
Cations: Conversely, a positively-charged ion, which has fewer electrons than
protons, is known as a cation.
Monatomic Ions: An ion consisting of a single atom is called a monatomic ion,
Polyatomic Ions: If an ion consists of two or more atoms, it is a polyatomic ion.
Oxyanions: Polyatomic ions containing oxygen, such as carbonate and
sulphate, are called oxyanions.
Notation: Ions are denoted in the same way as electrically neutral atoms and molecules except for the presence of a superscript indicating the sign of the net electric charge and the number of electrons lost or gained, if more than one.

Common Monatomic and Polyatomic Ion Charges

Naming Inorganic Ionic Compounds
Compound Rules
Metal Non Metal
Binary Compound
The cation is always named first and the anion second.
A cation takes its name from the name of the element.
IF the cation can assume more than one charge, the charge is specified using Roman numerals in parentheses.
An anion is named by taking the first part of the element name and adding the suffix “ide”.
Non Metal Non Metal
Binary Compound
The first element in the formula is named first and the full element name is used.
The second element is named as though it were an anion.
Prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms present.
The prefix “mono” is never used for the first element.
Polyatomic Compound
The cation is always named first.
The polyatomic ion is named second
Acids
If the anion does not contain oxygen, the acid is named with the prefix “hydro” and the suffix “ic” attached to the root name for the element.
When the anion contains oxygen, the acid name is formed from the root name of the central element of the anion or the anion name, with the suffix “ic” or “ous”. When the anion name ends in “ate”, the suffix “ic” is used. When the anion name ends in “ite” the suffix “ous” is used.

Writing Formulas from Names
Rules for Writing Formulas
If the first ion in the compound has only one possible charge…
Simply write the names of the cation first and the anion second.
If the first ion in the compound has two or more possible charges…
Make sure you choose an appropriate number of cations and anions such that the addition of their charges adds up to zero. You must end up with a compound that has a zero charge (neutral).
