Likewise, in the 1940s, cortisone came into use to treat arthritis and other disorders and injuries, but it took a 36-step process to synthesize. Chemist Percy Lavon Julian turned to a more plentiful source: soybeans. Previously, Julian had developed a lab to isolate soy protein, which was used in firefighting among other applications. He focused on using the soy sterols-substances mostly used in plant membranes-and was able to quickly produce progesterone and later testosterone and other hormones.

Chemistry and the language of chemists play vital roles in biology, medicine, materials science, forensics, environmental science, and many other fields (Figure 1.3). The basic principles of physics are essential for understanding many aspects of chemistry, and there is extensive overlap between many subdisciplines within the two fields, such as chemical physics and nuclear chemistry. Mathematics, computer science, and information theory provide important tools that help us calculate, interpret, describe, and generally make sense of the chemical world. Biology and chemistry converge in biochemistry, which is crucial to understanding the many complex factors and processes that keep living organisms (such as us) alive. Chemical engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology combine chemical principles and empirical findings to produce useful substances, ranging from gasoline to fabrics to electronics. Agriculture, food science, veterinary science, and brewing and wine making help provide sustenance in the form of food and drink to the world's population. Medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology, and botany identify and produce substances that help keep us healthy. Environmental science, geology, oceanography, and atmospheric science incorporate many chemical ideas to help us better understand and protect our physical world.

But what if you could be accurately diagnosed through a simple breath test?"} {"id": "textbook_318", "title": "98. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 98.1. Early Ideas in Atomic Theory", "content": "Early detection of biomarkers, substances that indicate an organism's disease or physiological state, could allow diagnosis and treatment before a condition becomes serious or irreversible. Recent studies have shown that your exhaled breath can contain molecules that may be biomarkers for recent exposure to environmental contaminants or for pathological conditions ranging from asthma to lung cancer. Scientists are working to develop biomarker \"fingerprints\" that could be used to diagnose a specific disease based on the amounts and identities of certain molecules in a patient's exhaled breath. In Sangeeta Bhatia's lab at MIT, a team used substances that react specifically inside diseased lung tissue; the products of the reactions will be present as biomarkers that can be identified through mass spectrometry (an analytical method discussed later in the chapter). A potential application would allow patients with early symptoms to inhale or ingest a \"sensor\" substance, and, minutes later, to breathe into a detector for diagnosis. Similar research by scientists such as Laura L\u00f3pez-S\u00e1nchez has provided similar processes for lung cancer. An essential concept underlying this goal is that of a molecule's identity, which is determined by the numbers and types of atoms it contains, and how\nthey are bonded together. This chapter will describe some of the fundamental chemical principles related to the composition of matter, including those central to the concept of molecular identity.\n"} {"id": "textbook_319", "title": "98.

Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four \"elements\"-fire, earth, air, and water-and could be infinitely divided.

In the late 1800 s , a number of scientists interested in questions like these investigated the electrical discharges that could be produced in low-pressure gases, with the most significant discovery made by English physicist J. J. Thomson using a cathode ray tube. This apparatus consisted of a sealed glass tube from which almost all the air had been removed; the tube contained two metal electrodes. When high voltage was applied across the electrodes, a visible beam called a cathode ray appeared between them. This beam was deflected toward the positive charge and away from the negative charge, and was produced in the same way with identical properties when different metals were used for the electrodes. In similar experiments, the ray was simultaneously deflected by an applied magnetic field, and measurements of the extent of deflection and the magnetic field strength allowed Thomson to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio of the cathode ray particles. The results of these measurements indicated that these particles were much lighter than atoms (Figure 2.6).\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0059.jpg?height=1155&width=1473&top_left_y=187&top_left_x=326)"} {"id": "textbook_360", "title": "110.

Although controversial at the time, Thomson's idea was gradually accepted, and his cathode ray particle is what we now call an electron, a negatively charged, subatomic particle with a mass more than one thousand-times less that of an atom.

By adjusting the electric field strength and making careful measurements and appropriate calculations, Millikan was able to determine the charge on individual drops (Figure 2.7).\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0060.jpg?height=847&width=1622&top_left_y=216&top_left_x=246)"} {"id": "textbook_364", "title": "111.

In 1904, Thomson proposed the \"plum pudding\" model of atoms, which described a positively charged mass with an equal amount of negative charge in the form of electrons embedded in it, since all atoms are electrically neutral. A competing model had been proposed in 1903 by Hantaro Nagaoka, who postulated a Saturn-like atom, consisting of a positively charged sphere surrounded by a halo of electrons (Figure 2.8).\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0060.jpg?height=500&width=1663&top_left_y=1948&top_left_x=231)\n\nFIGURE 2.8 (a) Thomson suggested that atoms resembled plum pudding, an English dessert consisting of moist cake with embedded raisins (\"plums\").

He performed a series of experiments using a beam of high-speed, positively charged alpha particles ( $\\alpha$ particles) that were produced by the radioactive decay of radium; $\\alpha$ particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (you will learn more about radioactive decay in the chapter on nuclear chemistry). Rutherford and his colleagues Hans Geiger (later famous for the Geiger counter) and Ernest Marsden aimed a beam of $\\alpha$ particles, the source of which was embedded in a lead block to absorb most of the radiation, at a very thin piece of gold foil and examined the resultant scattering of the $\\alpha$ particles using a luminescent screen that glowed briefly where hit by an $\\alpha$ particle.\nWhat did they discover? Most particles passed right through the foil without being deflected at all. However, some were diverted slightly, and a very small number were deflected almost straight back toward the source (Figure 2.9). Rutherford described finding these results: \"It was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened to me in my life.

Alpha particles are positively charged, so deflections arose when they encountered another positive charge (like charges repel each other). Since like charges repel one another, the few positively charged $\\alpha$ particles that changed paths abruptly must have hit, or closely approached, another body that also had a highly concentrated, positive charge. Since the deflections occurred a small fraction of the time, this charge only occupied a small amount of the space in the gold foil.

However, a more detailed analysis showed that mesothorium was chemically identical to radium (another decay product), despite having a different atomic mass. This result, along with similar findings for other elements, led the English chemist Frederick Soddy to realize that an element could have types of atoms with different masses that were chemically indistinguishable.

When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu) and the fundamental unit of charge (e). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which are assigned masses of exactly 12 amu . (This isotope is known as \"carbon-12\" as will be discussed later in this module.) Thus, one amu is exactly $\\frac{1}{12}$ of the mass of one carbon-12 atom: $1 \\mathrm{amu}=1.6605 \\times 10^{-24} \\mathrm{~g}$. (The Dalton (Da) and the unified atomic mass unit (u) are alternative units that are equivalent to the amu.)

These cations then pass through a (variable) electric or magnetic field that deflects each cation's path to an extent that depends on both its mass and charge (similar to how the path of a large steel ball rolling past a magnet is deflected to a lesser extent that that of a small steel ball).

An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: $90.92 \\%$ abundance with 19.99 amu, $0.26 \\%$ abundance with 20.99 amu , and $8.82 \\%$ abundance with 21.99 amu .

The sudden appearance was due to a supernova explosion, which was much brighter than the original star. Even though this supernova was observed almost a millennium ago, the remaining Crab Nebula (Figure 3.1) continues to release energy today. It emits not only visible light but also infrared light, X-rays, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The nebula emits both continuous spectra (the blue-white glow) and atomic emission spectra (the colored\nfilaments). In this chapter, we will discuss light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation and how they are related to the electronic structure of atoms. We will also see how this radiation can be used to identify elements, even from thousands of light years away.\n"} {"id": "textbook_566", "title": "186. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 186.3.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - ", "content": "The nature of light has been a subject of inquiry since antiquity. In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a \"corpuscular\" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles travelling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion. Others in the seventeenth century, such as Christiaan Huygens, had shown that optical phenomena such as reflection and refraction could be equally well explained in terms of light as waves travelling at high speed through a medium called \"luminiferous aether\" that was thought to permeate all space. Early in the nineteenth century, Thomas Young demonstrated that light passing through narrow, closely spaced slits produced interference patterns that could not be explained in terms of Newtonian particles but could be easily explained in terms of waves. Later in the nineteenth century, after James Clerk Maxwell developed his theory of electromagnetic radiation and showed that light was the visible part of a vast spectrum of electromagnetic waves, the particle view of light became thoroughly discredited. By the end of the nineteenth century, scientists viewed the physical universe as roughly comprising two separate domains: matter composed of particles moving according to Newton's laws of motion, and electromagnetic radiation consisting of waves governed by Maxwell's equations. Today, these domains are referred to as classical mechanics and classical electrodynamics (or classical electromagnetism). Although there were a few physical phenomena that could not be explained within this framework, scientists at that time were so confident of the overall soundness of this framework that they viewed these aberrations as puzzling paradoxes that would ultimately be resolved somehow within this framework. As we shall see, these paradoxes led to a contemporary framework that intimately connects particles and waves at a fundamental level called waveparticle duality, which has superseded the classical view."} {"id": "textbook_570", "title": "187. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - ", "content": "Visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation play important roles in chemistry, since they can be used to infer the energies of electrons within atoms and molecules. Much of modern technology is based on electromagnetic radiation.

Waves - ", "content": "\nA wave is an oscillation or periodic movement that can transport energy from one point in space to another. Common examples of waves are all around us. Shaking the end of a rope transfers energy from your hand to the other end of the rope, dropping a pebble into a pond causes waves to ripple outward along the water's surface, and the expansion of air that accompanies a lightning strike generates sound waves (thunder) that can travel outward for several miles. In each of these cases, kinetic energy is transferred through matter (the rope, water, or air) while the matter remains essentially in place. An insightful example of a wave occurs in sports stadiums when fans in a narrow region of seats rise simultaneously and stand with their arms raised up for a few seconds before sitting down again while the fans in neighboring sections likewise stand up and sit down in sequence.

As we shall see, standing waves play an important role in our understanding of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. The simplest example of a standing wave is a onedimensional wave associated with a vibrating string that is held fixed at its two end points. Figure 3.7 shows the four lowest-energy standing waves (the fundamental wave and the lowest three harmonics) for a vibrating string at a particular amplitude. Although the string's motion lies mostly within a plane, the wave itself is considered to be one dimensional, since it lies along the length of the string. The motion of string segments in a direction perpendicular to the string length generates the waves and so the amplitude of the waves is visible as the maximum displacement of the curves seen in Figure 3.7. The key observation from the figure is that only those waves having an integer number, n, of half-wavelengths between the end points can form. A system with fixed end points such as this restricts the number and type of the possible waveforms. This is an example of quantization, in which only discrete values from a more general set of continuous values of some property are observed. Another important observation is that the harmonic waves (those waves displaying more than one-half wavelength) all have one or more points between the two end points that are not in motion. These special points are nodes. The energies of the standing waves with a given amplitude in a vibrating string increase with the number of half-wavelengths $n$. Since the number of nodes is $n-1$, the energy can also be said to depend on the number of nodes, generally increasing as the number of nodes increases.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0101.jpg?height=416&width=717&top_left_y=974&top_left_x=712)\n\nFIGURE 3.7 A vibrating string shows some one-dimensional standing waves.

It is \"ideal\" in the same sense that an ideal gas is a convenient, simple representation of real gases that works well, provided that the pressure is not too high nor the temperature too low. A good approximation of a blackbody that can be used to observe blackbody radiation is a metal oven that can be heated to very high temperatures. The oven has a small hole allowing for the light being emitted within the oven to be observed\nwith a spectrometer so that the wavelengths and their intensities can be measured.

This became known as the \"ultraviolet catastrophe\" because no one could find any problems with the theoretical treatment that could lead to such unrealistic short-wavelength behavior. Finally, around 1900, Max Planck derived a theoretical expression for blackbody radiation that fit the experimental observations exactly (within experimental error). Planck developed his theoretical treatment by extending the earlier work that had been based on the premise that the atoms composing the oven vibrated at increasing frequencies (or decreasing wavelengths) as the temperature increased, with these vibrations being the source of the emitted electromagnetic radiation. But where the earlier treatments had allowed the vibrating atoms to have any energy values obtained from a continuous set of energies (perfectly reasonable, according to classical physics), Planck found that by restricting the vibrational energies to discrete values for each frequency, he could derive an expression for blackbody radiation that correctly had the intensity dropping rapidly for the short wavelengths in the UV region."} {"id": "textbook_604", "title": "198.

The Photoelectric Effect - ", "content": "\nThe next paradox in the classical theory to be resolved concerned the photoelectric effect (Figure 3.11). It had been observed that electrons could be ejected from the clean surface of a metal when light having a frequency greater than some threshold frequency was shone on it. Surprisingly, the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons did not depend on the brightness of the light, but increased with increasing frequency of the light. Since the electrons in the metal had a certain amount of binding energy keeping them there, the incident light needed to have more energy to free the electrons. According to classical wave theory, a wave's energy depends on its intensity (which depends on its amplitude), not its frequency. One part of these observations was that the number of electrons ejected within in a given time period was seen to increase as the brightness increased. In 1905, Albert Einstein was able to resolve the paradox by incorporating Planck's quantization findings into the discredited particle view of light (Einstein actually won his Nobel prize for this work, and not for his theories of relativity for which he is most famous).\n\nEinstein argued that the quantized energies that Planck had postulated in his treatment of blackbody radiation could be applied to the light in the photoelectric effect so that the light striking the metal surface should not be viewed as a wave, but instead as a stream of particles (later called photons) whose energy depended on their frequency, according to Planck's formula, $E=h \\nu$ (or, in terms of wavelength using $c=\\nu \\lambda, E=\\frac{h c}{\\lambda}$ ). Electrons were ejected when hit by photons having sufficient energy (a frequency greater than the threshold). The greater the frequency, the greater the kinetic energy imparted to the escaping electrons by the collisions. Processes that increase the energy of an atom involve the absorption of light and are called endothermic. Processes that decrease the energy involve emission of light and are called exothermic. Einstein also argued that the light intensity did not depend on the amplitude of the incoming wave, but instead corresponded to the number of photons striking the surface within a given time period. This explains why the number of ejected electrons increased with increasing brightness, since the greater the number of incoming photons, the greater the likelihood that they would collide with some of the electrons."} {"id": "textbook_608", "title": "199.

Each added electron occupies the subshell of lowest energy available (in the order shown in Figure 3.24), subject to the limitations imposed by the allowed quantum numbers according to the Pauli exclusion principle. Electrons enter higher-energy subshells only after lower-energy subshells have been filled to capacity. Figure 3.26 illustrates the traditional way to remember the filling order for atomic orbitals. Since the arrangement of the periodic table is based on the electron configurations, Figure 3.27 provides an alternative method for determining the electron configuration.

Experimentally, we observe that its ground-state electron configuration is actually $[\\mathrm{Kr}] 5 s^{1} 4 d^{4}$. We can rationalize this observation by saying that the electron-electron repulsions experienced by pairing the electrons in the $5 s$ orbital are larger than the gap in energy between the $5 s$ and $4 d$ orbitals.

This can be explained because the energy of the subshells increases as $l$ increases, due to penetration and shielding (as discussed previously in this chapter).

Variation in Electron Affinities - ", "content": "As we might predict, it becomes easier to add an electron across a series of atoms as the effective nuclear charge of the atoms increases. We find, as we go from left to right across a period, EAs tend to become more negative. The exceptions found among the elements of group 2 (2A), group 15 ( 5 A ), and group 18 (8A) can be understood based on the electronic structure of these groups. The noble gases, group 18 (8A), have a completely filled shell and the incoming electron must be added to a higher $n$ level, which is more difficult to do. Group $2(2 \\mathrm{~A})$ has a filled $n s$ subshell, and so the next electron added goes into the higher energy $n p$, so, again, the observed EA value is not as the trend would predict. Finally, group 15 (5A) has a half-filled $n p$ subshell and the next electron must be paired with an existing $n p$ electron. In all of these cases, the initial relative stability of the electron configuration disrupts the trend in EA.\n\nWe also might expect the atom at the top of each group to have the most negative EA; their first ionization potentials suggest that these atoms have the largest effective nuclear charges. However, as we move down a group, we see that the second element in the group most often has the most negative EA. This can be attributed\nto the small size of the $n=2$ shell and the resulting large electron-electron repulsions. For example, chlorine, with an EA value of $-348 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$, has the highest value of any element in the periodic table. The EA of fluorine is $-322 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$. When we add an electron to a fluorine atom to form a fluoride anion ( $\\mathrm{F}^{-}$), we add an electron to the $n=2$ shell. The electron is attracted to the nucleus, but there is also significant repulsion from the other electrons already present in this small valence shell. The chlorine atom has the same electron configuration in the valence shell, but because the entering electron is going into the $n=3$ shell, it occupies a considerably larger region of space and the electron-electron repulsions are reduced. The entering electron does not experience as much repulsion and the chlorine atom accepts an additional electron more readily, resulting in a more negative EA.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0141.jpg?height=795&width=1660&top_left_y=600&top_left_x=230)"} {"id": "textbook_859", "title": "281.

Each box represents an element and contains its atomic number, symbol, average atomic mass, and (sometimes) name. The elements are arranged in seven horizontal rows, called periods or series, and 18 vertical columns, called groups. Groups are labeled at the top of each column.

This is partly due to the number of electrons in their outer shell and their similar readiness to bond. These shared properties can have far-ranging implications in nature, science, and medicine. For example, when Gertrude Elion and George Hitchens were investigating ways to interrupt cell and virus replication to fight diseases, they utilized the similarity between sulfur and oxygen (both in Group 16) and their capacity to bond in similar ways. Elion focused on purines, which are key components of DNA and which contain oxygen. She found that by introducing sulfur-based compounds (called purine analogues) that mimic the structure of purines, molecules within DNA would bond to the analogues rather than the \"regular\" DNA purine. With the normal DNA bonding and structure altered, Elion successfully interrupted cell replication. At its core, the strategy worked because of the similarity between sulfur and oxygen. Her discovery led directly to important treatments for leukemia. Overall, Elion's work with George Hitchens not only led to more treatments, but also changed the entire methodology of drug development. By using specific elements and compounds to target specific aspects of tumor cells, viruses, and bacteria, they laid the groundwork for many of today's most common and important medicines, used to help millions of people each year.

Electromagnetic Energy", "content": "\nLight and other forms of electromagnetic radiation move through a vacuum with a constant speed, $c$, of $2.998 \\times 10^{8} \\mathrm{~m} \\mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. This radiation shows wavelike behavior, which can be characterized by a frequency, $\\nu$, and a wavelength, $\\lambda$, such that $c=\\lambda \\nu$. Light is an example of a travelling wave. Other important wave phenomena include standing waves, periodic oscillations, and vibrations. Standing waves exhibit quantization, since their wavelengths are limited to discrete integer multiples of some characteristic lengths. Electromagnetic radiation that passes through two closely spaced narrow slits having dimensions roughly similar to the wavelength will show an interference pattern that is a result of constructive and destructive interference of the waves. Electromagnetic radiation also demonstrates properties of particles called photons. The energy of a photon is related to the frequency (or alternatively, the wavelength) of the radiation as $E=h \\nu$ (or $E=\\frac{h c}{\\lambda}$ ), where $h$ is Planck's constant. That light demonstrates both wavelike and particle-like behavior is known as wave-particle duality. All forms of electromagnetic radiation share these properties, although various forms including X-rays, visible light, microwaves, and radio waves interact differently with matter and have very different practical applications. Electromagnetic radiation can be generated by exciting matter to higher energies, such as by heating it. The emitted light can be either continuous (incandescent sources like the sun) or discrete (from specific types of excited atoms). Continuous spectra often have distributions that can be approximated as blackbody radiation at some appropriate temperature. The line spectrum of hydrogen can be obtained by passing the light from\npeaks or troughs in a wave\npeaks or troughs in a wave\nan electrified tube of hydrogen gas through a prism. This line spectrum was simple enough that an empirical formula called the Rydberg formula could be derived from the spectrum. Three historically important paradoxes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that could not be explained within the existing framework of classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism were the blackbody problem, the photoelectric effect, and the discrete spectra of atoms. The resolution of these paradoxes ultimately led to quantum theories that superseded the classical theories.\n"} {"id": "textbook_938", "title": "318. Summary - 318.2. The Bohr Model", "content": "\nBohr incorporated Planck's and Einstein's quantization ideas into a model of the hydrogen atom that resolved the paradox of atom stability and discrete spectra. The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom explains the connection between the quantization of photons and the quantized emission from atoms. Bohr described the hydrogen atom in terms of an electron moving in a circular orbit about a nucleus. He postulated that the electron was restricted to certain orbits characterized by discrete energies. Transitions between these allowed orbits result in the absorption or emission of photons. When an electron moves from a higher-energy orbit to a more stable one, energy is emitted in the form of a photon. To move an electron from a stable orbit to a more excited one, a photon of energy must be absorbed. Using the Bohr model, we can calculate the energy of an electron and the radius of its orbit in any one-electron system.\n"} {"id": "textbook_939", "title": "318. Summary - 318.3.

This quantum number describes the shape or type of the orbital. Orbitals with the same principal quantum number and the same $l$ value belong to the same subshell.

Covalent radius increases as we move down a group because the $n$ level (orbital size) increases. Covalent radius mostly decreases as we move left to right across a period because the effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons increases, and the electrons are pulled in tighter to the nucleus. Anionic radii are larger than the parent atom, while cationic radii are smaller, because the number of valence electrons has changed while the nuclear charge has remained constant. Ionization energy (the energy associated with forming a cation) decreases down a group and mostly increases across a period because it is easier to remove an electron from a larger, higher energy orbital. Electron affinity (the energy associated with forming an anion) is more favorable (exothermic) when electrons are placed into lower energy orbitals, closer to the nucleus. Therefore, electron affinity becomes increasingly negative as we move left to right across the periodic table and decreases as we move down a group. For both IE and electron affinity data, there are exceptions to the trends when dealing with completely filled or half-filled subshells.\n"} {"id": "textbook_944", "title": "318. Summary - 318.6.

For example, the hydrogen molecule, $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$, contains a covalent bond between its two hydrogen atoms. Figure 4.4 illustrates why this bond is formed. Starting on the far right, we have two separate hydrogen atoms with a particular potential energy, indicated by the red line. Along the $x$-axis is the distance between the two atoms. As the two atoms approach each other (moving left along the $x$-axis), their valence orbitals (1s) begin to overlap. The single electrons on each hydrogen atom then interact with both atomic nuclei, occupying the space around both atoms.

In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other. The ability of an atom to attract a pair of electrons in a chemical bond is called its electronegativity. The difference in electronegativity between two atoms determines how polar a bond will be. In a diatomic molecule with two identical atoms, there is no difference in electronegativity, so the bond is nonpolar or pure covalent. When the electronegativity difference is very large, as is the case between metals and nonmetals, the bonding is characterized as ionic.\n"} {"id": "textbook_1319", "title": "461. Summary - 461.3. Chemical Nomenclature", "content": "\nChemists use nomenclature rules to clearly name compounds. Ionic and molecular compounds are named using somewhat-different methods. Binary ionic compounds typically consist of a metal and a\nnonmetal. The name of the metal is written first, followed by the name of the nonmetal with its ending changed to -ide. For example, $\\mathrm{K}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ is called potassium oxide. If the metal can form ions with different charges, a Roman numeral in parentheses follows the name of the metal to specify its charge. Thus, $\\mathrm{FeCl}_{2}$ is iron(II) chloride and $\\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}$ is iron(III) chloride. Some compounds contain polyatomic ions; the names of common polyatomic ions should be memorized. Molecular compounds can form compounds with different ratios of their elements, so prefixes are used to specify the numbers of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound. Examples include $\\mathrm{SF}_{6}$, sulfur hexafluoride, and $\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}$, dinitrogen tetroxide. Acids are an important class of compounds containing hydrogen and having special nomenclature rules. Binary acids are named using the prefix hydro-, changing the -ide suffix to $-i c$, and adding \"acid;\" HCl is hydrochloric acid. Oxyacids are named by changing the ending of the anion (-ate to -ic and -ite to -ous), and adding \"acid;\" $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}$ is carbonic acid.\n"} {"id": "textbook_1320", "title": "461.

Lone pairs, unpaired electrons, and single, double, or triple bonds are used to indicate where the valence electrons are located around each atom in a Lewis structure. Most structures-especially those containing second row elements-obey the octet rule, in which every atom (except H ) is surrounded by eight electrons.

These hypothetical formal charges are a guide to determining the most appropriate Lewis structure. A structure in which the formal charges are as close to zero as possible is preferred. Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written. The actual distribution of electrons (the resonance hybrid) is an average of the distribution indicated by the individual Lewis structures (the resonance forms).\n"} {"id": "textbook_1322", "title": "461.

Molecular structure, which refers only to the placement of atoms in a molecule and not the electrons, is equivalent to electron-pair geometry only when there are no lone electron pairs around the central atom. A dipole moment measures a separation of charge. For one bond, the bond dipole moment is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms. For a molecule, the overall dipole moment is determined by both the individual bond moments and how these dipoles are arranged in the molecular structure. Polar molecules (those with an appreciable dipole moment) interact with electric fields, whereas nonpolar molecules do not.\n"} {"id": "textbook_1323", "title": "462.

However, VSEPR theory does not provide an explanation of chemical bonding.\n"} {"id": "textbook_1350", "title": "466. Atomic Orbital Overlap - ", "content": "\nThere are successful theories that describe the electronic structure of atoms. We can use quantum mechanics to predict the specific regions around an atom where electrons are likely to be located: A spherical shape for an $s$ orbital, a dumbbell shape for a $p$ orbital, and so forth. However, these predictions only describe the orbitals around free atoms. When atoms bond to form molecules, atomic orbitals are not sufficient to describe the regions where electrons will be located in the molecule. A more complete understanding of electron distributions requires a model that can account for the electronic structure of molecules. One popular theory holds that a covalent bond forms when a pair of electrons is shared by two atoms and is simultaneously attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In the following sections, we will discuss how such bonds are described by valence bond theory and hybridization."} {"id": "textbook_1351", "title": "466. Atomic Orbital Overlap - ", "content": "Valence bond theory describes a covalent bond as the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals (each containing a single electron) that yield a pair of electrons shared between the two bonded atoms. We say that orbitals on two different atoms overlap when a portion of one orbital and a portion of a second orbital occupy the same region of space. According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond results when two conditions are met: (1) an orbital on one atom overlaps an orbital on a second atom and (2) the single electrons in each orbital combine to form an electron pair. The mutual attraction between this negatively charged electron pair and the two atoms' positively charged nuclei serves to physically link the two atoms through a force we define as a covalent bond. The strength of a covalent bond depends on the extent of overlap of the orbitals involved. Orbitals that overlap extensively form bonds that are stronger than those that have less overlap."} {"id": "textbook_1352", "title": "466. Atomic Orbital Overlap - ", "content": "The energy of the system depends on how much the orbitals overlap. Figure 5.2 illustrates how the sum of the energies of two hydrogen atoms (the colored curve) changes as they approach each other. When the atoms are far apart there is no overlap, and by convention we set the sum of the energies at zero. As the atoms move together, their orbitals begin to overlap. Each electron begins to feel the attraction of the nucleus in the other atom. In addition, the electrons begin to repel each other, as do the nuclei. While the atoms are still widely separated, the attractions are slightly stronger than the repulsions, and the energy of the system decreases. (A bond begins to form.) As the atoms move closer together, the overlap increases, so the attraction of the nuclei for the electrons continues to increase (as do the repulsions among electrons and between the nuclei). At some specific distance between the atoms, which varies depending on the atoms involved, the energy reaches its lowest (most stable) value. This optimum distance between the two bonded nuclei is the bond distance between the two atoms. The bond is stable because at this point, the attractive and repulsive forces combine to create the lowest possible energy configuration. If the distance between the nuclei were to decrease further, the repulsions between nuclei and the repulsions as electrons are confined in closer proximity to each other would become stronger than the attractive forces. The energy of the system would then rise (making the system destabilized), as shown at the far left of Figure 5.2.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0231.jpg?height=1045&width=1096&top_left_y=193&top_left_x=493)"} {"id": "textbook_1353", "title": "466.

With the sole exception of the noble gases, atoms by themselves do not possess the most stable possible electron configuration. That is where the concept of chemical bonding comes into its own: atoms can attain a stable configuration by exchanging electrons with another atom, resulting in the formation of ions.\nIons, in turn, can associate by charge - simple Coulombic attraction - resulting in the formation of compounds we call ionic compounds. We will look at the ionic nature of bonds first, from a simple positive-negative attraction standpoint. Just as important is that some atoms bond by sharing rather than exchanging electrons; the sharing of electrons gives rise to the covalent bond. To add just one more dimension, some chemical species are neither completely ionic nor completely covalent; these species possess a permanent dipole, and are classified as polar.\nIn your introductory physics course, you will likely discuss the concept of Coulombic interactions in much more rigorous detail than we will do here. We are interested primarily in the differences in properties between species that arise from their relative covalent, ionic, or polar nature - not in a rigorous model of those properties. We are concerned with the connection between potential energy and force and the relative separation (or lack of separation) between charges.

Additionally, it provides a model for describing the energies of electrons in a molecule and the probable location of these electrons. Unlike valence bond theory, which uses hybrid orbitals that are assigned to one specific atom, MO theory uses the combination of atomic orbitals to yield molecular orbitals that are delocalized over the entire molecule rather than being localized on its constituent atoms.

Remember that even in a small sample there are a huge number of atoms (typically $>10^{23}$ atoms), and therefore a huge number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. When $N$ valence atomic orbitals, all of the same energy and each containing one (1) electron, are combined, $N / 2$ (filled) bonding orbitals and $N / 2$ (empty) antibonding orbitals will result. Each bonding orbital will show an energy lowering as the atomic orbitals are mostly in-phase, but each of the bonding orbitals will be a little different and have slightly different energies. The antibonding orbitals will show an increase in energy as the atomic orbitals are mostly out-of-phase, but each of the antibonding orbitals will also be a little different and have slightly different energies. The allowed energy levels for all the bonding orbitals are so close together that they form a band, called the valence band. Likewise, all the antibonding orbitals are very close together and form a band, called the conduction band. Figure 5.39 shows the bands for three important classes of materials: insulators, semiconductors, and conductors.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0260.jpg?height=468&width=1063&top_left_y=197&top_left_x=558)\n\nFIGURE 5.39 Molecular orbitals in solids are so closely spaced that they are described as bands. The valence band is lower in energy and the conduction band is higher in energy. The type of solid is determined by the size of the \"band gap\" between the valence and conduction bands. Only a very small amount of energy is required to move electrons from the valance band to the conduction band in a conductor, and so they conduct electricity well. In an insulator, the band gap is large, so that very few electrons move, and they are poor conductors of electricity. Semiconductors are in between: they conduct electricity better than insulators, but not as well as conductors.\n\nIn order to conduct electricity, electrons must move from the filled valence band to the empty conduction band where they can move throughout the solid. The size of the band gap, or the energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band, determines how easy it is to move electrons between the bands. Only a small amount of energy is required in a conductor because the band gap is very small. This small energy difference is \"easy\" to overcome, so they are good conductors of electricity. In an insulator, the band gap is so \"large\" that very few electrons move into the conduction band; as a result, insulators are poor conductors of electricity. Semiconductors conduct electricity when \"moderate\" amounts of energy are provided to move electrons out of the valence band and into the conduction band.

Since it is impractical to refill large pools with fresh water on a frequent basis, pool water is regularly treated with chemicals to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and algae. Proper pool maintenance requires regular additions of various chemical compounds in carefully measured amounts. For example, the relative amount of calcium ion, $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$, in the water should be maintained within certain limits to prevent eye irritation and avoid damage to the pool bed and plumbing. To maintain proper calcium levels, calcium cations are added to the water in the form of an ionic compound that also contains anions; thus, it is necessary to know both the relative amount of $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ in the compound and the volume of water in the pool in order to achieve the proper calcium level. Quantitative aspects of the composition of substances (such as the calcium-containing compound) and mixtures (such as the pool water) are the subject of this chapter.\n"} {"id": "textbook_1555", "title": "534.

The engines of these rockets rely on carefully prepared solid mixtures of chemicals combined in precisely measured amounts. Igniting the mixture initiates a vigorous chemical reaction that rapidly generates large amounts of gaseous products. These gases are ejected from the rocket engine through its nozzle, providing the thrust needed to propel heavy payloads into space. Both the nature of this chemical reaction and the relationships between the amounts of the substances being consumed and produced by the reaction are critically important considerations that determine the success of the technology. This chapter will describe how to symbolize chemical reactions using chemical equations, how to classify some common chemical reactions by identifying patterns of reactivity, and how to determine the quantitative relations between the amounts of substances involved in chemical reactions-that is, the reaction stoichiometry.\n"} {"id": "textbook_1814", "title": "653.

Titration - ", "content": "\nThe described approach to measuring vinegar strength was an early version of the analytical technique known as titration analysis. A typical titration analysis involves the use of a buret (Figure 7.16) to make incremental additions of a solution containing a known concentration of some substance (the titrant) to a sample solution containing the substance whose concentration is to be measured (the analyte). The titrant and analyte undergo a chemical reaction of known stoichiometry, and so measuring the volume of titrant solution required for complete reaction with the analyte (the equivalence point of the titration) allows calculation of the analyte concentration. The equivalence point of a titration may be detected visually if a distinct change in the appearance of the sample solution accompanies the completion of the reaction. The halt of bubble formation in the classic vinegar analysis is one such example, though, more commonly, special dyes called indicators are added to the sample solutions to impart a change in color at or very near the equivalence point of the titration. Equivalence points may also be detected by measuring some solution property that changes in a predictable way during the course of the titration. Regardless of the approach taken to detect a titration's equivalence point, the volume of titrant actually measured is called the end point. Properly designed titration methods typically ensure that the difference between the equivalence and end points is negligible. Though any type of chemical reaction may serve as the basis for a titration analysis, the three described in this chapter (precipitation, acid-base, and redox) are most common. Additional details regarding titration analysis are provided in the chapter on acid-base equilibria.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0331.jpg?height=966&width=1250&top_left_y=1214&top_left_x=435)"} {"id": "textbook_2152", "title": "743.

When using a sphygmomanometer, the cuff is placed around the upper arm and inflated until blood flow is completely blocked, then slowly released. As the heart beats, blood forced through the arteries causes a rise in pressure. This rise in pressure at which blood flow begins is the systolic pressure-the peak pressure in the cardiac cycle. When the cuff's pressure equals the arterial systolic pressure, blood flows past the cuff, creating audible sounds that can be heard using a stethoscope. This is followed by a decrease in pressure as the heart's ventricles prepare for another beat. As cuff pressure continues to decrease, eventually sound is no longer heard; this is the diastolic pressure-the lowest pressure (resting phase) in the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure units from a sphygmomanometer are in terms of millimeters of mercury ( mm Hg ).\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0359.jpg?height=345&width=649&top_left_y=1015&top_left_x=451)\n(a)\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0359.jpg?height=345&width=486&top_left_y=1015&top_left_x=1188)\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 8.6 (a) A medical technician prepares to measure a patient's blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer.

Although their measurements were not precise by today's standards, they were able to determine the mathematical relationships between pairs of these variables (e.g., pressure and temperature, pressure and volume) that hold for an ideal gas-a hypothetical construct that real gases approximate under certain conditions.

The answer, of course, is respiration, or breathing. How does it work? It turns out that the gas laws apply here. Your lungs take in gas that your body needs (oxygen) and get rid of waste gas (carbon dioxide). Lungs are made of spongy, stretchy tissue that expands and contracts while you breathe. When you inhale, your diaphragm and intercostal muscles (the muscles between your ribs) contract, expanding your chest cavity and making your lung volume larger. The increase in volume leads to a decrease in pressure (Boyle's law). This causes air to flow into the lungs (from high pressure to low pressure). When you exhale, the process reverses: Your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, your chest cavity contracts, and your lung volume decreases, causing the pressure to increase (Boyle's law again), and air flows out of the lungs (from high pressure to low pressure). You then breathe in and out again, and again, repeating this Boyle's law cycle for the rest of your life (Figure 8.15).\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0368.jpg?height=1140&width=1432&top_left_y=1254&top_left_x=344)"} {"id": "textbook_2339", "title": "816.

The Interdependence between Ocean Depth and Pressure in Scuba Diving - ", "content": "Pressure increases with ocean depth, and the pressure changes most rapidly as divers reach the surface. The pressure a diver experiences is the sum of all pressures above the diver (from the water and the air). Most pressure measurements are given in units of atmospheres, expressed as \"atmospheres absolute\" or ATA in the diving community: Every 33 feet of salt water represents 1 ATA of pressure in addition to 1 ATA of pressure from the atmosphere at sea level. As a diver descends, the increase in pressure causes the body's air pockets in the ears and lungs to compress; on the ascent, the decrease in pressure causes these air pockets to expand, potentially rupturing eardrums or bursting the lungs. Divers must therefore undergo equalization by adding air to body airspaces on the descent by breathing normally and adding air to the mask by breathing out of the nose or adding air to the ears and sinuses by equalization techniques; the corollary is also true on ascent, divers must release air from the body to maintain equalization. Buoyancy, or the ability to control whether a diver sinks or floats, is controlled by the buoyancy compensator (BCD). If a diver is ascending, the air in their BCD expands because of lower pressure according to Boyle's law (decreasing the pressure of gases increases the volume). The expanding air increases the buoyancy of the diver, and they begin to ascend. The diver must vent air from the BCD or risk an uncontrolled ascent that could rupture the lungs. In descending, the increased pressure causes the air in the BCD to compress and the diver sinks much more quickly; the diver must add air to the BCD or risk an uncontrolled descent, facing much higher pressures near the ocean floor. The pressure also impacts how long a diver can stay underwater before ascending. The deeper a diver dives, the more compressed the air that is breathed because of increased pressure: If a diver dives 33 feet, the pressure is 2 ATA and the air would be compressed to one-half of its original volume. The diver uses up available air twice as fast as at the surface.\n"} {"id": "textbook_2374", "title": "831.

If the volume is held constant, the increased speed of the gas molecules results in more frequent and more forceful collisions with the walls of the container, therefore increasing the pressure (Figure 8.31).\n- Charles's law. If the temperature of a gas is increased, a constant pressure may be maintained only if the volume occupied by the gas increases. This will result in greater average distances traveled by the molecules to reach the container walls, as well as increased wall surface area. These conditions will decrease the both the frequency of molecule-wall collisions and the number of collisions per unit area, the combined effects of which balance the effect of increased collision forces due to the greater kinetic energy at the higher temperature.\n- Boyle's law. If the gas volume volume of a given amount of gas at a given temperature is decreased (that is, if the gas is compressed), the molecules will be exposed to a decreased container wall area. Collisions with\nthe container wall will therefore occur more frequently and the pressure exerted by the gas will increase (Figure 8.31).\n- Avogadro's law. At constant pressure and temperature, the frequency and force of molecule-wall collisions are constant. Under such conditions, increasing the number of gaseous molecules will require a proportional increase in the container volume in order to yield a decrease in the number of collisions per unit area to compensate for the increased frequency of collisions (Figure 8.31).\n- Dalton's Law. Because of the large distances between them, the molecules of one gas in a mixture bombard the container walls with the same frequency whether other gases are present or not, and the total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of the (partial) pressures of the individual gases.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0391.jpg?height=830&width=1646&top_left_y=596&top_left_x=234)"} {"id": "textbook_2574", "title": "905.

Under conditions of low pressure and high temperature, these factors are negligible, the ideal gas equation is an accurate\ndescription of gas behavior, and the gas is said to exhibit ideal behavior. However, at lower temperatures and higher pressures, corrections for molecular volume and molecular attractions are required to account for finite molecular size and attractive forces.

Given that a chemical reaction involves breaking some bonds and making others, the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction can be estimated by analyzing the bonds broken and formed during the reaction. While this procedure gives an estimate of the overall enthalpy, it should be noted that a far more precise method involves using enthalpies of formation; the fact that there can be significant differences between, for example, an $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond in water and that in acetic acid accounts for the discrepancy in calculating $\\Delta H$ using bond enthalpies versus the use of enthalpies of formation.\n"} {"id": "textbook_2663", "title": "924.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - ", "content": "One technique we can use to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process is known as calorimetry. Calorimetry is used to measure amounts of heat transferred to or from a substance. To do so, the heat is exchanged with a calibrated object (calorimeter). The temperature change measured by the calorimeter is used to derive the amount of heat transferred by the process under study. The measurement of heat transfer using this approach requires the definition of a system (the substance or substances undergoing the chemical or physical change) and its surroundings (all other matter, including components of the measurement apparatus, that serve to either provide heat to the system or absorb heat from the system).\n\nA calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process. For example, when an exothermic reaction occurs in solution in a calorimeter, the heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the solution, which increases its temperature. When an endothermic reaction occurs, the heat required is absorbed from the thermal energy of the solution, which decreases its temperature (Figure 9.11). The temperature change, along with the specific heat and mass of the solution, can then be used to calculate the amount of heat involved in either case.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0422.jpg?height=825&width=1647&top_left_y=192&top_left_x=239)"} {"id": "textbook_2739", "title": "943.

Answer: - ", "content": "The calorimeters described are designed to operate at constant (atmospheric) pressure and are convenient to measure heat flow accompanying processes that occur in solution. A different type of calorimeter that operates at constant volume, colloquially known as a bomb calorimeter, is used to measure the energy produced by reactions that yield large amounts of heat and gaseous products, such as combustion reactions. (The term \"bomb\" comes from the observation that these reactions can be vigorous enough to resemble explosions that would damage other calorimeters.) This type of calorimeter consists of a robust steel container (the \"bomb\") that contains the reactants and is itself submerged in water (Figure 9.17). The sample is placed in the bomb, which is then filled with oxygen at high pressure. A small electrical spark is used to ignite the sample. The energy produced by the reaction is absorbed by the steel bomb and the surrounding water. The temperature increase is measured and, along with the known heat capacity of the calorimeter, is used to calculate the energy produced by the reaction. Bomb calorimeters require calibration to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter and ensure accurate results. The calibration is accomplished using a reaction with a known $q$, such as a measured quantity of benzoic acid ignited by a spark from a nickel fuse wire that is weighed before and after the reaction. The temperature change produced by the known reaction is used to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. The calibration is generally performed each time before the calorimeter is used to gather research data.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0430.jpg?height=852&width=1667&top_left_y=1013&top_left_x=229)\n\nFIGURE 9.17 (a) A bomb calorimeter is used to measure heat produced by reactions involving gaseous reactants or products, such as combustion.

The caloric content of foods can be determined by using bomb calorimetry; that is, by burning the food and measuring the energy it contains. A sample of food is weighed, mixed in a blender, freezedried, ground into powder, and formed into a pellet. The pellet is burned inside a bomb calorimeter, and the measured temperature change is converted into energy per gram of food.\n\nToday, the caloric content on food labels is derived using a method called the Atwater system that uses the average caloric content of the different chemical constituents of food, protein, carbohydrate, and fats. The average amounts are those given in the equation and are derived from the various results given by bomb calorimetry of whole foods. The carbohydrate amount is discounted a certain amount for the fiber content, which is indigestible carbohydrate.

Aside from the symptoms and complications of the illness, its social stigma led sufferers to be cast out of communities and isolated in colonies; in some regions this practice lasted well into the twentieth century. At that time, the best potential treatment for leprosy was oil from the chaulmoogra tree, but the oil was extremely thick, causing blisters and making usage painful and ineffective. Healthcare professionals seeking a better application contacted Alice Ball, a young chemist at the University of Hawaii, who had focused her masters thesis on a similar plant. Ball initiated a sequence of procedures (repeated acidification and purification to change the characteristics of the oil and isolate the active substances (esters, discussed later in this text). The \"Ball Method\" as it later came to be called, became the standard treatment for leprosy for decades. In the liquid and solid states, atomic and molecular interactions are of considerable strength and play an important role in determining a number of physical properties of the substance. For example, the thickness, or viscosity, of the chaulmoogra oil was due to its intermolecular forces. In this chapter, the nature of these interactions and their effects on various physical properties of liquid and solid phases will be examined.\n"} {"id": "textbook_3109", "title": "1046.

This force is often referred to as simply the dispersion force. Because the electrons of an atom or molecule are in constant motion (or, alternatively, the electron's location is subject to quantum-mechanical variability), at any moment in time, an atom or molecule can develop a temporary, instantaneous dipole if its electrons are distributed asymmetrically. The presence of this dipole can, in turn, distort the electrons of a neighboring atom or molecule, producing an induced dipole.

Thus, they are less tightly held and can more easily form the temporary dipoles that produce the attraction.

And while a gecko can lift its feet easily as it walks along a surface, if you attempt to pick it up, it sticks to the surface. How are geckos (as well as spiders and some other insects) able to do this? Although this phenomenon has been investigated for hundreds of years, scientists only recently uncovered the details of the process that allows geckos' feet to behave this way.\n\nGeckos' toes are covered with hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs known as setae, with each seta, in turn, branching into hundreds of tiny, flat, triangular tips called spatulae. The huge numbers of spatulae on its setae provide a gecko, shown in Figure 10.8, with a large total surface area for sticking to a surface. In 2000, Kellar Autumn, who leads a multi-institutional gecko research team, found that geckos adhered equally well to both polar silicon dioxide and nonpolar gallium arsenide. This proved that geckos stick to surfaces because of dispersion forces-weak intermolecular attractions arising from temporary, synchronized charge distributions between adjacent molecules.

Geckos' feet, which are normally nonsticky, become sticky when a small shear force is applied. By curling and uncurling their toes, geckos can alternate between sticking and unsticking from a surface, and thus easily move across it. Later research led by Alyssa Stark at University of Akron showed that geckos can maintain their hold on hydrophobic surfaces (similar to the leaves in their habitats) equally well whether the surfaces were wet or dry. Stark's experiment used a ribbon to gently pull the geckos until they slipped, so that the researchers could determine the geckos' ability to hold various surfaces under wet and dry conditions.

Water ( $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, molecular mass 18 amu ) is a liquid, even though it has a lower molecular mass. We clearly cannot attribute this difference between the two compounds to dispersion forces. Both molecules have about the same shape and ONF is the heavier and larger molecule. It is, therefore, expected to experience more significant dispersion forces. Additionally, we cannot attribute this difference in boiling points to differences in the dipole moments of the molecules. Both molecules are polar and exhibit comparable dipole moments. The large difference between the boiling points is due to a particularly strong dipole-dipole attraction that may occur when a molecule contains a hydrogen atom bonded to a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom (the three most electronegative elements). The very large difference in electronegativity between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded ( 4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for a N atom), combined with the very small size of a H atom and the relatively small sizes of $\\mathrm{F}, \\mathrm{O}$, or N atoms, leads to highly concentrated partial charges with these atoms.

With the support of renowned scientist Lord Rayleigh, her 1891 paper showed that surface contamination significantly reduces surface tension, and also that changing the characteristics of the surface (compressing or expanding it) also affects surface tension. Decades later, Irving Langmuir and Katharine Blodgett built on Pockels' work in their own trough and important advances in surface chemistry.

This procedure can be easily done because of capillary action, the ability of a liquid to flow up a small tube against gravity, as shown in Figure 10.21. When your finger is pricked, a drop of blood forms and holds together due to surface tension-the unbalanced intermolecular attractions at the surface of the drop. Then, when the open end of a narrowdiameter glass tube touches the drop of blood, the adhesive forces between the molecules in the blood and those at the glass surface draw the blood up the tube. How far the blood goes up the tube depends on the diameter of the tube (and the type of fluid). A small tube has a relatively large surface area for a given volume of blood, which results in larger (relative) attractive forces, allowing the blood to be drawn farther up the tube. The liquid itself is held together by its own cohesive forces. When the weight of the liquid in the tube generates a downward force equal to the upward force associated with capillary action, the liquid stops rising.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0485.jpg?height=320&width=438&top_left_y=195&top_left_x=838)"} {"id": "textbook_3202", "title": "1078.

Vaporization and Condensation - ", "content": "\nWhen a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase. The change from the gas phase to the liquid is called condensation. When the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of vaporization, neither the amount of the liquid nor the amount of the vapor in the container changes. The vapor in the container is then said to be in equilibrium with the liquid. Keep in mind that this is not a static situation, as molecules are continually exchanged between the condensed and gaseous phases. Such is an example of a dynamic equilibrium, the status of a system in which reciprocal processes (for example, vaporization and condensation) occur at equal rates. The pressure exerted by the vapor in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed container at a given temperature is called the liquid's vapor pressure (or equilibrium vapor pressure). The area of the surface of the liquid in contact with a vapor and the size of the vessel have no effect on the vapor pressure, although they do affect the time required for the equilibrium to be reached. We can measure the vapor pressure of a liquid by placing a sample in a closed container, like that illustrated in Figure 10.22 , and using a manometer to measure the increase in pressure that is due to the vapor in equilibrium with the condensed phase.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0485.jpg?height=397&width=392&top_left_y=2048&top_left_x=368)\n(a)\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0485.jpg?height=383&width=356&top_left_y=2058&top_left_x=819)\n(b)\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0485.jpg?height=388&width=510&top_left_y=2053&top_left_x=1241)\n(c)"} {"id": "textbook_3208", "title": "1080.

British chemist Rosalind Franklin made invaluable contributions to this monumental achievement through her work in measuring X-ray diffraction images of DNA. Early in her career, Franklin's research on the structure of coals proved helpful to the British war effort. After shifting her focus to biological systems in the early 1950s, Franklin and doctoral student Raymond Gosling discovered that DNA consists of two forms: a long, thin fiber formed when wet (type \"B\") and a short, wide fiber formed when dried (type \"A\"). Her X-ray diffraction images of DNA (Figure 10.66) provided the crucial information that allowed Watson and Crick to confirm that DNA forms a double helix, and to determine details of its size and structure. Franklin also conducted pioneering research on viruses and the RNA that contains their genetic information, uncovering new information that radically changed the body of knowledge in the field. After developing ovarian cancer, Franklin continued\nto work until her death in 1958 at age 37.

As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the oceans increases, contributing to oceanic acidification.

This phenomenon can be rationalized by considering the effect of added solute molecules on the liquid's vaporization and condensation processes. To vaporize, solvent molecules must be present at the surface of the solution. The presence of solute decreases the surface area available to solvent molecules and thereby reduces the rate of solvent vaporization. Since the rate of condensation is unaffected by the presence of solute, the net result is that the vaporization-condensation equilibrium is achieved with fewer solvent molecules in the vapor phase (i.e., at a lower vapor pressure) (Figure 11.18). While this interpretation is useful, it does not account for several important aspects of the colligative nature of vapor pressure lowering. A more rigorous explanation involves the property of entropy, a topic of discussion in a later text chapter on thermodynamics. For purposes of understanding the lowering of a liquid's vapor pressure, it is adequate to note that the more dispersed nature of matter in a solution, compared to separate solvent and solute phases, serves to effectively stabilize the solvent molecules and hinder their vaporization.

Carrots and celery that have become limp because they have lost water can be made crisp again by placing them in water. Water moves into the carrot or celery cells by osmosis. A cucumber placed in a concentrated salt solution loses water by osmosis and absorbs some salt to become a pickle. Osmosis can also affect animal cells. Solute concentrations are particularly important when solutions are injected into the body. Solutes in body cell fluids and blood serum give these solutions an osmotic pressure of approximately 7.7 atm . Solutions injected into the body must have the same osmotic pressure as blood serum; that is, they should be isotonic with blood serum. If a less concentrated solution, a hypotonic solution, is injected in sufficient quantity to dilute the blood serum, water from the diluted serum passes into the blood cells by osmosis, causing the cells to expand and rupture. This process is called hemolysis. When a more concentrated solution, a hypertonic solution, is injected, the cells lose water to the more concentrated solution, shrivel, and possibly die in a process called crenation.

They suggested that although interionic attraction in an aqueous solution is very greatly reduced by solvation of the ions and the insulating action of the polar solvent, it is not completely nullified. The residual attractions prevent the ions from behaving as totally independent particles (Figure 11.28). In some cases, a positive and negative ion may actually touch, giving a solvated unit called an ion pair. Thus, the activity, or the effective concentration, of any particular kind of ion is less than that indicated by the actual concentration. Ions become more and more widely separated the more dilute the solution, and the residual interionic attractions become less and less. Thus, in extremely dilute solutions, the effective concentrations of the ions (their activities) are essentially equal to the actual concentrations.

Therefore, emulsions are usually stabilized by an emulsifying agent, a substance that inhibits the coalescence of the dispersed liquid.

Electrolytes may be covalent compounds that chemically react with water to produce ions (for example, acids and bases), or they may be ionic compounds that dissociate to yield their constituent cations and anions, when dissolved. Dissolution of an ionic compound is facilitated by ion-dipole attractions between the ions of the compound and the polar water molecules. Soluble ionic substances and strong acids ionize completely and are strong electrolytes, while weak acids and bases ionize to only a small extent and are weak electrolytes. Nonelectrolytes are substances that do not produce ions when dissolved in water.\n"} {"id": "textbook_3826", "title": "1291. Summary - 1291.3. Solubility", "content": "\nThe extent to which one substance will dissolve in another is determined by several factors, including the types and relative strengths of intermolecular attractive forces that may exist between the substances' atoms, ions, or molecules. This tendency to dissolve is quantified as a substance's solubility, its maximum concentration in a solution at equilibrium under specified conditions. A\nsaturated solution contains solute at a concentration equal to its solubility. A supersaturated solution is one in which a solute's concentration exceeds its solubility-a nonequilibrium (unstable) condition that will result in solute precipitation when the solution is appropriately perturbed. Miscible liquids are soluble in all proportions, and immiscible liquids exhibit very low mutual solubility. Solubilities for gaseous solutes decrease with increasing temperature, while those for most, but not all, solid solutes increase with temperature. The concentration of a gaseous solute in a solution is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas to which the solution is exposed, a relation known as Henry's law.\n"} {"id": "textbook_3827", "title": "1291.

The magnitudes of these properties depend only on the total concentration of solute particles in solution, not on the type of particles. The total concentration of solute particles in a solution also determines its osmotic pressure. This is the pressure that must be applied to the solution to prevent diffusion of molecules of pure solvent through a semipermeable membrane into the solution.

As those basking in the sun get too hot, they enter the surf to swim and cool off. As the swimmers tire, they return to the beach to rest. If the rate at which sunbathers enter the surf were to equal the rate at which swimmers return to the sand, then the numbers (though not the identities) of sunbathers and swimmers would remain constant. This scenario illustrates a dynamic phenomenon known as equilibrium, in which opposing processes occur at equal rates. Chemical and physical processes are subject to this phenomenon; these processes are at equilibrium when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal. Equilibrium systems are pervasive in nature; the various reactions involving carbon dioxide dissolved in blood are examples (see Figure 13.1).

A bottle or can is then nearly filled with the carbonated beverage, leaving a relatively small volume of air in the container above the beverage surface (the headspace) before it is sealed. The pressure of carbon dioxide in the container headspace is very low immediately after sealing, but it rises as the dissolution equilibrium is re-established by shifting to the left. Since the volume of the beverage is significantly greater than the volume of the headspace, only a relatively small amount of dissolved carbon dioxide is lost to the headspace.\n\nWhen a carbonated beverage container is opened, a hissing sound is heard as pressurized $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ escapes from the headspace. This causes the dissolution equilibrium to shift left, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of dissolved $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and subsequent left-shifts of the hydrolysis and ionization equilibria.

As introduced in another chapter of this text, acid-base chemistry involves the transfer of hydrogen ions from donors (acids) to acceptors (bases). These H+ transfer reactions are reversible, and the equilibria established by acid-base systems are essential aspects of phenomena ranging from sinkhole formation (Figure 14.1) to oxygen transport in the human body. This chapter will further explore acid-base chemistry with an emphasis on the equilibrium aspects of this important reaction class.\n"} {"id": "textbook_4444", "title": "1446. 2 pH and pOH - 1446.1.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - ", "content": "The acid-base reaction class has been studied for quite some time. In 1680, Robert Boyle reported traits of acid solutions that included their ability to dissolve many substances, to change the colors of certain natural dyes, and to lose these traits after coming in contact with alkali (base) solutions. In the eighteenth century, it was recognized that acids have a sour taste, react with limestone to liberate a gaseous substance (now known to be $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ), and interact with alkalis to form neutral substances. In 1815, Humphry Davy contributed greatly to the development of the modern acid-base concept by demonstrating that hydrogen is the essential constituent of acids. Around that same time, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac concluded that acids are substances that can neutralize bases and that these two classes of substances can be defined only in terms of each other. The significance of hydrogen was reemphasized in 1884 when Svante Arrhenius defined an acid as a compound that dissolves in water to yield hydrogen cations (now recognized to be hydronium ions) and a base as a compound that dissolves in water to yield hydroxide anions."} {"id": "textbook_4448", "title": "1447.

(Note that these hydrogen ions are often referred to simply as protons, since that subatomic particle is the only component of cations derived from the most abundant hydrogen isotope, ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$.) A compound that donates a proton to another compound is called a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid, and a compound that accepts a proton is called a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry base. An acid-base reaction is, thus, the transfer of a proton from a donor (acid) to an acceptor (base)."} {"id": "textbook_4449", "title": "1447.

When an acid donates $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$, the species that remains is called the conjugate base of the acid because it reacts as a proton acceptor in the reverse reaction. Likewise, when a base accepts $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$, it is converted to its conjugate acid. The reaction between water and ammonia illustrates this idea. In the forward direction, water acts as an acid by donating a proton to ammonia and subsequently becoming a hydroxide ion, $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$, the conjugate base of water. The ammonia acts as a base in accepting this proton, becoming an ammonium ion, $\\mathrm{NH}_{4}{ }^{+}$, the conjugate acid of ammonia. In the reverse direction, a hydroxide ion acts as a base in accepting a proton from ammonium ion, which acts as an acid.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0662.jpg?height=519&width=1169&top_left_y=1356&top_left_x=264)"} {"id": "textbook_4450", "title": "1447.

Notice that the sole acid species present in an aqueous solution of any strong acid is $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}(a q)$, meaning that hydronium ion is the strongest acid that may exist in water; any stronger acid will react completely with water to generate hydronium ions. This limit on the acid strength of solutes in a solution is called a leveling effect. To measure the differences in acid strength for \"strong\" acids, the acids must be dissolved in a solvent that is less basic than water. In such solvents, the acids will be \"weak,\" and so any differences in the extent of their ionization can be determined. For example, the binary hydrogen halides $\\mathrm{HCl}, \\mathrm{HBr}$, and HI are strong acids in water but weak acids in ethanol (strength increasing $\\mathrm{HCl}<\\mathrm{HBr}<\\mathrm{HI}$ )."} {"id": "textbook_4596", "title": "1489.

Following the same logic as for the left column, species listed above water are weaker bases and so they don't undergo base ionization when dissolved in water. Species listed between water and its conjugate base, hydroxide ion, are weak bases that partially ionize. Species listed below hydroxide ion are strong bases that completely ionize in water to yield hydroxide ions (i.e., they are leveled to hydroxide). A comparison of the acid and base columns in this table supports the reciprocal relation between the strengths of conjugate acidbase pairs. For example, the conjugate bases of the strong acids (top of table) are all of negligible strength. A strong acid exhibits an immeasurably large $K_{\\mathrm{a}}$, and so its conjugate base will exhibit a $K_{\\mathrm{b}}$ that is essentially zero:\nstrong acid: $\\quad K_{\\mathrm{a}} \\approx \\infty$\nconjugate base : $K_{\\mathrm{b}}=K_{\\mathrm{W}} / K_{\\mathrm{a}}=K_{\\mathrm{W}} / \\infty \\approx 0$\nA similar approach can be used to support the observation that conjugate acids of strong bases ( $K_{\\mathrm{b}} \\approx \\infty$ ) are of negligible strength ( $K_{\\mathrm{a}} \\approx 0$ ).\n"} {"id": "textbook_4597", "title": "1490.

More-accurate estimates of the titration end point are possible using either litmus or phenolphthalein, both of which exhibit color change intervals that are encompassed by the steep rise in pH that occurs around the 25.00 mL equivalence point.\n\nThe weak acid titration curve in Figure 14.20 shows that only one of the three indicators is suitable for end point detection. If methyl orange is used in this titration, the solution will undergo a gradual red-to-orange-toyellow color change over a relatively large volume interval ( $0-6 \\mathrm{~mL}$ ), completing the color change well before the equivalence point ( 25 mL ) has been reached. Use of litmus would show a color change that begins after adding $7-8 \\mathrm{~mL}$ of titrant and ends just before the equivalence point. Phenolphthalein, on the other hand, exhibits a color change interval that nicely brackets the abrupt change in pH occurring at the titration's equivalence point. A sharp color change from colorless to pink will be observed within a very small volume interval around the equivalence point.\n"} {"id": "textbook_4944", "title": "1585.

For example, a decrease in temperature may trigger fluorite precipitation if its solubility is exceeded at the lower temperature. Because fluoride ion is a weak base, its solubility is also affected by solution pH , and so geologic or other processes that change groundwater pH will also affect the precipitation of fluorite.

Consider, for example, mixing aqueous solutions of the soluble compounds sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate.

This important reaction class is defined by changes in oxidation states for one or more reactant elements, and it includes a subset of reactions involving the transfer of electrons between reactant species. Around the turn of the nineteenth century, chemists began exploring ways these electrons could be transferred indirectly via an external circuit rather than directly via intimate contact of redox reactants. In the two centuries since, the field of electrochemistry has evolved to yield significant insights on the fundamental aspects of redox chemistry as well as a wealth of technologies ranging from industrial-scale metallurgical processes to robust, rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles (Figure 16.1). In this chapter, the essential concepts of electrochemistry will be addressed.\n"} {"id": "textbook_5268", "title": "1691. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1691.2.

Oxidation Numbers - ", "content": "\nBy definition, a redox reaction is one that entails changes in oxidation number (or oxidation state) for one or more of the elements involved. The oxidation number of an element in a compound is essentially an assessment of how the electronic environment of its atoms is different in comparison to atoms of the pure element. By this description, the oxidation number of an atom in an element is equal to zero. For an atom in a compound, the oxidation number is equal to the charge the atom would have in the compound if the compound were ionic. Consequential to these rules, the sum of oxidation numbers for all atoms in a molecule is equal to the charge on the molecule. To illustrate this formalism, examples from the two compound classes, ionic and covalent, will be considered."} {"id": "textbook_5273", "title": "1693. Oxidation Numbers - ", "content": "Simple ionic compounds present the simplest examples to illustrate this formalism, since by definition the elements' oxidation numbers are numerically equivalent to ionic charges.

Calcium fluoride, $\\mathrm{CaF}_{2}$, is comprised of $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ cations and $\\mathrm{F}^{-}$anions, and so oxidation numbers for calcium and fluorine are, +2 and -1 , respectively."} {"id": "textbook_5274", "title": "1693. Oxidation Numbers - ", "content": "Covalent compounds require a more challenging use of the formalism. Water is a covalent compound whose molecules consist of two H atoms bonded separately to a central O atom via polar covalent $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds. The shared electrons comprising an $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond are more strongly attracted to the more electronegative O atom, and so it acquires a partial negative charge in the water molecule (relative to an O atom in elemental oxygen). Consequently, H atoms in a water molecule exhibit partial positive charges compared to H atoms in elemental hydrogen. The sum of the partial negative and partial positive charges for each water molecule is zero, and the water molecule is neutral."} {"id": "textbook_5275", "title": "1693.

Applying this same logic to carbon tetrachloride, $\\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$, yields oxidation numbers of +4 for carbon and -1 for chlorine.

Intrepreting Electrode and Cell Potentials - ", "content": "\nThinking carefully about the definitions of cell and electrode potentials and the observations of spontaneous redox change presented thus far, a significant relation is noted. The previous section described the spontaneous oxidation of copper by aqueous silver(I) ions, but no observed reaction with aqueous lead(II) ions. Results of the calculations in Example 16.4 have just shown the spontaneous process is described by a positive cell potential while the nonspontaneous process exhibits a negative cell potential. And so, with regard to the relative effectiveness (\"strength\") with which aqueous $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}$ ions oxidize Cu under standard conditions, the stronger oxidant is the one exhibiting the greater standard electrode potential, $E^{\\circ}$. Since by convention electrode potentials are for reduction processes, an increased value of $E^{\\circ}$ corresponds to an increased driving force behind the reduction of the species (hence increased effectiveness of its action as an oxidizing agent on some other species). Negative values for electrode potentials are simply a consequence of assigning a value of 0 V to the SHE, indicating the reactant of the half-reaction is a weaker oxidant than aqueous hydrogen ions.\n\nApplying this logic to the numerically ordered listing of standard electrode potentials in Table 16.1 shows this listing to be likewise in order of the oxidizing strength of the half-reaction's reactant species, decreasing from strongest oxidant (most positive $E^{\\circ}$ ) to weakest oxidant (most negative $E^{\\circ}$ ). Predictions regarding the spontaneity of redox reactions under standard state conditions can then be easily made by simply comparing the relative positions of their table entries. By definition, $E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {cell }}$ is positive when $E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {cathode }}>E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {anode }}$, and so any redox reaction in which the oxidant's entry is above the reductant's entry is predicted to be spontaneous."} {"id": "textbook_5363", "title": "1716.

To permit easy sharing of half-cell potential data, the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is\nassigned a potential of exactly 0 V and used to define a single electrode potential for any given half-cell. The electrode potential of a half-cell, $E_{X}$, is the cell potential of said half-cell acting as a cathode when connected to a SHE acting as an anode. When the half-cell is operating under standard state conditions, its potential is the standard electrode potential, $E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\mathrm{X}}$. Standard electrode potentials reflect the relative oxidizing strength of the half-reaction's reactant, with stronger oxidants exhibiting larger (more positive) $E^{o}{ }_{X}$ values. Tabulations of standard electrode potentials may be used to compute standard cell potentials, $E^{o}$ cell, for many redox reactions.

Speed is a familiar rate that expresses the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time.

Likewise, the rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how much reactant is consumed, or how much product is produced, by the reaction in a given amount of time.\n\nThe rate of reaction is the change in the amount of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates are therefore determined by measuring the time dependence of some property that can be related to reactant or product amounts. Rates of reactions that consume or produce gaseous substances, for example, are conveniently determined by measuring changes in volume or pressure. For reactions involving one or more colored substances, rates may be monitored via measurements of light absorption.

Using the concentrations at the beginning and end of a time period over which the reaction rate is changing results in the calculation of an average rate for the reaction over this time interval.

The instantaneous rate of a reaction at \"time zero,\" when the reaction commences, is its initial rate. Consider the analogy of a car slowing down as it approaches a stop sign. The vehicle's initial rate-analogous to the beginning of a chemical reaction-would be the speedometer reading at the moment the driver begins pressing the brakes ( $t_{0}$ ). A few moments later, the instantaneous rate at a specific moment-call it $t_{1}$-would be somewhat slower, as indicated by the speedometer reading at that point in time. As time passes, the instantaneous rate will continue to fall until it reaches zero, when the car (or reaction) stops. Unlike instantaneous speed, the car's average speed is not indicated by the speedometer; but it can be calculated as the ratio of the distance traveled to the time required to bring the vehicle to a complete stop ( $\\Delta t$ ).

The $d$ orbitals fill with the elements in group 11; therefore, the elements in group 12 qualify as representative elements because the last electron enters an $s$ orbital. Metals among the representative elements are the representative metals. Metallic character results from an element's ability to lose its outer valence electrons and results in high thermal and electrical conductivity, among other physical and chemical properties.

This means that optical isomers are nonsuperimposable mirror images. A classic example of this is a pair of hands, in which the right and left hand are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed. Optical isomers are very important in organic and biochemistry because living systems often incorporate one specific optical isomer and not the other. Unlike geometric isomers, pairs of optical isomers have identical properties (boiling point, polarity, solubility, etc.). Optical isomers differ only in the way they affect polarized light and how they react with other optical isomers.

The chapter on atoms, molecules, and ions introduced the basic idea of nuclear structure, that the nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and, with the exception of ${ }_{1}^{1} \\mathrm{H}$, neutrons. Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number ( Z ) of the element, and the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the mass number (A). Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers are isotopes of the same element. When referring to a single type of nucleus, we often use the term nuclide and identify it by the notation ${ }_{Z}^{A} \\mathrm{X}$, where X is the symbol for the element, A is the mass number, and Z is the atomic number (for example, ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}$ ).

Of the thousands of nuclides that exist, about 250 are stable. A plot of the number of neutrons versus the number of protons for stable nuclei reveals that the stable isotopes fall into a narrow band. This region is known as the band of stability (also called the belt, zone, or valley of stability). The straight line in Figure 20.2 represents nuclei that have a 1:1 ratio of protons to neutrons ( $\\mathrm{n}: \\mathrm{p}$ ratio). Note that the lighter stable nuclei, in general, have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. For example, nitrogen-14 has seven protons and seven neutrons. Heavier stable nuclei, however, have increasingly more neutrons than protons. For example: iron-56 has 30 neutrons and 26 protons, an n:p ratio of 1.15, whereas the stable nuclide lead- 207 has 125 neutrons and 82 protons, an n:p ratio equal to 1.52. This is because larger nuclei have more proton-proton repulsions, and require larger numbers of neutrons to provide compensating strong forces to overcome these electrostatic repulsions and hold the nucleus together.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-0978.jpg?height=1749&width=1259&top_left_y=204&top_left_x=411)"} {"id": "textbook_7065", "title": "2063.

Answer: - ", "content": "There have been some significant, well-documented changes to the ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}:{ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ ratio. The accuracy of a straightforward application of this technique depends on the ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}:{ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ ratio in a living plant being the same now as it was in an earlier era, but this is not always valid. Due to the increasing accumulation of $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ molecules (largely ${ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ) in the atmosphere caused by combustion of fossil fuels (in which essentially all of the ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}$ has decayed), the ratio of ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}:{ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ in the atmosphere may be changing. This manmade increase in ${ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in the atmosphere causes the ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}:{ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ ratio to decrease, and this in turn affects the ratio in currently living organisms on the earth. Fortunately, however, we can use other data, such as tree dating via examination of annual growth rings, to calculate correction factors. With these correction factors, accurate dates can be determined. In general, radioactive dating only works for about 10 half-lives; therefore, the limit for carbon-14 dating is about 57,000 years.\n"} {"id": "textbook_7197", "title": "2096. Radioactive Dating Using Nuclides Other than Carbon-14 - ", "content": "\nRadioactive dating can also use other radioactive nuclides with longer half-lives to date older events. For example, uranium-238 (which decays in a series of steps into lead-206) can be used for establishing the age of rocks (and the approximate age of the oldest rocks on earth). Since U-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, it takes that amount of time for half of the original $\\mathrm{U}-238$ to decay into $\\mathrm{Pb}-206$. In a sample of rock that does not contain appreciable amounts of $\\mathrm{Pb}-208$, the most abundant isotope of lead, we can assume that lead was not present when the rock was formed. Therefore, by measuring and analyzing the ratio of U-238:Pb-206, we can determine the age of the rock. This assumes that all of the lead-206 present came from the decay of uranium-238. If there is additional lead-206 present, which is indicated by the presence of other lead isotopes in the sample, it is necessary to make an adjustment. Potassium-argon dating uses a similar method. K-40 decays by positron emission and electron capture to form $\\mathrm{Ar}-40$ with a half-life of 1.25 billion years. If a rock sample is crushed and the amount of Ar-40 gas that escapes is measured, determination of the Ar-40:K-40\nratio yields the age of the rock. Other methods, such as rubidium-strontium dating ( $\\mathrm{Rb}-87$ decays into $\\mathrm{Sr}-87$ with a half-life of 48.8 billion years), operate on the same principle. To estimate the lower limit for the earth's age, scientists determine the age of various rocks and minerals, making the assumption that the earth is older than the oldest rocks and minerals in its crust. As of 2014, the oldest known rocks on earth are the Jack Hills zircons from Australia, found by uranium-lead dating to be almost 4.4 billion years old.\n"} {"id": "textbook_7198", "title": "2097.

After it is injected, the location of the technetium compound, and hence the damaged tissue, can be determined by detecting the $\\gamma$ rays emitted by the Tc-99 isotope. Thallium-201 (Figure 20.24) becomes concentrated in healthy heart tissue, so the two isotopes, Tc-99 and Tl-201, are used together to study heart tissue. Iodine-131 concentrates in the thyroid gland, the liver, and some parts of the brain. It can therefore be used to monitor goiter and treat thyroid conditions, such as Grave's disease, as well as liver and brain tumors. Salt solutions containing compounds of sodium-24 are injected into the bloodstream to help locate obstructions to the flow of blood.\n![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2025_02_05_71b8aadc93efdd325467g-1008.jpg?height=868&width=833&top_left_y=195&top_left_x=646)"} {"id": "textbook_7292", "title": "2120.

This \"missing\" mass is the mass defect, which has been converted into the binding energy that holds the nucleus together according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation, $E=m c^{2}$. Of the many nuclides that exist, only a small number are stable. Nuclides with even numbers of protons or neutrons, or those with magic numbers of nucleons, are especially likely to be stable. These stable nuclides occupy a narrow band of stability on a graph of number of protons versus number of neutrons.

The prevalence of carbon compounds in living things has led to the epithet \"carbon-based\" life. The truth is we know of no other kind of life. Early chemists regarded substances isolated from organisms (plants and animals) as a different type of matter that could not be synthesized artificially, and these substances were thus known as organic compounds. The widespread belief called vitalism held that organic compounds were formed by a vital force present only in living organisms. The German chemist Friedrich Wohler was one of the early chemists to refute this aspect of vitalism, when, in 1828, he reported the synthesis of urea, a component of many body fluids, from nonliving materials. Since then, it has been recognized that organic molecules obey the same natural laws as inorganic substances, and the category of organic compounds has evolved to include both natural and synthetic compounds that contain carbon. Some carbon-containing compounds are not classified as organic, for example, carbonates and cyanides, and simple oxides, such as CO and $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. Although a single, precise definition has yet to be identified by the chemistry community, most agree that a defining trait of organic molecules is the presence of carbon as the principal element, bonded to hydrogen and other carbon atoms."} {"id": "textbook_7373", "title": "2138.

The existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities."} {"id": "textbook_7378", "title": "2139. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - ", "content": "The simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. Even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. In addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. Many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. We use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. The familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. We can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. This leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.\n"} {"id": "textbook_7379", "title": "2140.

Carbon chains are usually drawn as straight lines in Lewis structures, but one has to remember that Lewis structures are not intended to indicate the geometry of molecules. Notice that the carbon atoms in the structural models (the ball-and-stick and space-filling models) of the pentane molecule do not lie in a straight line.

(a) symbolic, microscopic; (b) macroscopic; (c) symbolic, macroscopic; (d) microscopic\n4. Macroscopic. The heat required is determined from macroscopic properties.\n5. Liquids can change their shape (flow); solids can't. Gases can undergo large volume changes as pressure changes; liquids do not. Gases flow and change volume; solids do not.\n6. The mixture can have a variety of compositions; a pure substance has a definite composition. Both have the same composition from point to point.\n7. Molecules of elements contain only one type of atom; molecules of compounds contain two or more types of atoms. They are similar in that both are comprised of two or more atoms chemically bonded together.\n8. Answers will vary. Sample answer: Gatorade contains water, sugar, dextrose, citric acid, salt, sodium chloride, monopotassium phosphate, and sucrose acetate isobutyrate.\n9.

The value of an extensive property depends upon the amount of matter being considered, whereas the value of an intensive property is the same regardless of the amount of matter being considered.\n17. Being extensive properties, both mass and volume are directly proportional to the amount of substance under study. Dividing one extensive property by another will in effect \"cancel\" this dependence on amount, yielding a ratio that is independent of amount (an intensive property).\n18. about a yard\n19.

This violates Dalton's postulate that that atoms are not created during a chemical change, but are merely redistributed.\n2. This statement violates Dalton's fourth postulate: In a given compound, the numbers of atoms of each type (and thus also the percentage) always have the same ratio.\n3. Dalton originally thought that all atoms of a particular element had identical properties, including mass. Thus, the concept of isotopes, in which an element has different masses, was a violation of the original idea. To account for the existence of isotopes, the second postulate of his atomic theory was modified to state that atoms of the same element must have identical chemical properties.\n4. Both are subatomic particles that reside in an atom's nucleus. Both have approximately the same mass. Protons are positively charged, whereas neutrons are uncharged.\n5. (a) The Rutherford atom has a small, positively charged nucleus, so most $\\alpha$ particles will pass through empty space far from the nucleus and be undeflected. Those $\\alpha$ particles that pass near the nucleus will be deflected from their paths due to positive-positive repulsion. The more directly toward the nucleus the $\\alpha$ particles are headed, the larger the deflection angle will be. (b) Higher-energy $\\alpha$ particles that pass near the nucleus will still undergo deflection, but the faster they travel, the less the expected angle of deflection.\n(c) If the nucleus is smaller, the positive charge is smaller and the expected deflections are smaller-both in terms of how closely the $\\alpha$ particles pass by the nucleus undeflected and the angle of deflection. If the nucleus is larger, the positive charge is larger and the expected deflections are larger-more $\\alpha$ particles will be deflected, and the deflection angles will be larger. (d) The paths followed by the $\\alpha$ particles match the predictions from (a), (b), and (c).\n6.

Let us use neon as an example. Since there are three isotopes, there is no way to be sure to accurately predict the abundances to make the total of 20.18 amu average atomic mass. Let us guess that the abundances are $9 \\% \\mathrm{Ne}-22,91 \\% \\mathrm{Ne}-20$, and only a trace of $\\mathrm{Ne}-21$. The average mass would be 20.18 amu . Checking the nature's mix of isotopes shows that the abundances are $90.48 \\% \\mathrm{Ne}-20,9.25 \\% \\mathrm{Ne}-22$, and $0.27 \\% \\mathrm{Ne}-21$, so our guessed amounts have to be slightly adjusted.\n12. 79.90 amu\n13.

Both involve a relatively heavy nucleus with electrons moving around it, although strictly speaking, the Bohr model works only for one-electron atoms or ions. According to classical mechanics, the Rutherford model predicts a miniature \"solar system\" with electrons moving about the nucleus in circular or elliptical orbits that are confined to planes. If the requirements of classical electromagnetic theory that electrons in such orbits would emit electromagnetic radiation are ignored, such atoms would be stable, having constant energy and angular momentum, but would not emit any visible light (contrary to observation). If classical electromagnetic theory is applied, then the Rutherford atom would emit electromagnetic radiation of continually increasing frequency (contrary to the observed discrete spectra), thereby losing energy until the atom collapsed in an absurdly short time (contrary to the observed long-term stability of atoms). The Bohr model retains the classical mechanics view of circular orbits confined to planes having constant energy and angular momentum, but restricts these to quantized values dependent on a single quantum number, $n$. The orbiting electron in Bohr's model is assumed not to emit any electromagnetic radiation while moving about the nucleus in its stationary orbits, but the atom can emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation when the electron changes from one orbit to another. Because of the quantized orbits, such \"quantum jumps\" will produce discrete spectra, in agreement with observations.\n16. Both models have a central positively charged nucleus with electrons moving about the nucleus in accordance with the Coulomb electrostatic potential. The Bohr model assumes that the electrons move in circular orbits that have quantized energies, angular momentum, and radii that are specified by a single quantum number, $n=1,2,3, \\ldots$, but this quantization is an ad hoc assumption made by Bohr to incorporate quantization into an essentially classical mechanics description of the atom. Bohr also assumed that electrons orbiting the nucleus normally do not emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation, but do so when the electron switches to a different orbit. In the quantum mechanical model, the electrons\ndo not move in precise orbits (such orbits violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle) and, instead, a probabilistic interpretation of the electron's position at any given instant is used, with a mathematical function $\\psi$ called a wavefunction that can be used to determine the electron's spatial probability distribution. These wavefunctions, or orbitals, are three-dimensional stationary waves that can be specified by three quantum numbers that arise naturally from their underlying mathematics (no ad hoc assumptions required): the principal quantum number, $n$ (the same one used by Bohr), which specifies shells such that orbitals having the same $n$ all have the same energy and approximately the same spatial extent; the angular momentum quantum number 1 , which is a measure of the orbital's angular momentum and corresponds to the orbitals' general shapes, as well as specifying subshells such that orbitals having the same $l$ (and $n$ ) all have the same energy; and the orientation quantum number $m$, which is a measure of the $z$ component of the angular momentum and corresponds to the orientations of the orbitals. The Bohr model gives the same expression for the energy as the quantum mechanical expression and, hence, both properly account for hydrogen's discrete spectrum (an example of getting the right answers for the wrong reasons, something that many chemistry students can sympathize with), but gives the wrong expression for the angular momentum (Bohr orbits necessarily all have non-zero angular momentum, but some quantum orbitals [ $s$ orbitals] can have zero angular momentum).\n17. $n$ determines the general range for the value of energy and the probable distances that the electron can be from the nucleus. $l$ determines the shape of the orbital. $m_{1}$ determines the orientation of the orbitals of the same $l$ value with respect to one another. $m_{s}$ determines the spin of an electron.\n18.

(c) Similarities: Both are orbitals that can contain two electrons. Differences: Bonding orbitals result in holding two or more atoms together. Antibonding orbitals have the effect of destabilizing any bonding that has occurred.\n33. An odd number of electrons can never be paired, regardless of the arrangement of the molecular orbitals. It will always be paramagnetic.\n35. Bonding orbitals have electron density in close proximity to more than one nucleus. The interaction between the bonding positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons stabilizes the system.\n37. The pairing of the two bonding electrons lowers the energy of the system relative to the energy of the nonbonded electrons.\n39.

Molecules have high speeds and move through greater distances between collision; they also have shorter contact times and interactions are less likely.

(a) A straight horizontal line at 1.0; (b) When real gases are at low pressures and high temperatures, they behave close enough to ideal gases that they are approximated as such; however, in some cases, we see that at a high pressure and temperature, the ideal gas approximation breaks down and is significantly different from the pressure calculated by the ideal gas equation. (c) The greater the compressibility, the more the volume matters. At low pressures, the correction factor for intermolecular attractions is more significant, and the effect of the volume of the gas molecules on Z would be a small lowering compressibility. At higher pressures, the effect of the volume of the gas molecules themselves on Z would increase compressibility (see Figure 8.35). (d) Once again, at low pressures, the effect of intermolecular attractions on Z would be more important than the correction factor for the volume of the gas molecules themselves, though perhaps still small. At higher pressures and low temperatures, the effect of intermolecular attractions would be larger. See Figure 8.35. (e) Low temperatures\n"} {"id": "textbook_7897", "title": "2292.

However, the overall amount of produced heat depends on the amount of material; this is an extensive property.

Heat capacity refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of the mass of the substance 1 degree; specific heat refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance 1 degree.

They are incompressible and have similar densities that are both much larger than those of gases. They are different in that liquids have no fixed shape, and solids are rigid.\n2. They are similar in that the atoms or molecules are free to move from one position to another. They differ in that the particles of a liquid are confined to the shape of the vessel in which they are placed. In contrast,\na gas will expand without limit to fill the space into which it is placed.\n3. All atoms and molecules will condense into a liquid or solid in which the attractive forces exceed the kinetic energy of the molecules, at sufficiently low temperature.\n4. (a) Dispersion forces occur as an atom develops a temporary dipole moment when its electrons are distributed asymmetrically about the nucleus. This structure is more prevalent in large atoms such as argon or radon. A second atom can then be distorted by the appearance of the dipole in the first atom. The electrons of the second atom are attracted toward the positive end of the first atom, which sets up a dipole in the second atom. The net result is rapidly fluctuating, temporary dipoles that attract one another (e.g., Ar). (b) A dipole-dipole attraction is a force that results from an electrostatic attraction of the positive end of one polar molecule for the negative end of another polar molecule (e.g., ICI molecules attract one another by dipole-dipole interaction). (c) Hydrogen bonds form whenever a hydrogen atom is bonded to one of the more electronegative atoms, such as a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom. The electrostatic attraction between the partially positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and the partially negative atom in another molecule gives rise to a strong dipole-dipole interaction called a hydrogen bond (e.g., HF...HF ).\n5. The London forces typically increase as the number of electrons increase.\n6.

Only rather small dipole-dipole interactions from C - H bonds are available to hold $n$-butane in the liquid state. Chloroethane, however, has rather large dipole interactions because of the $\\mathrm{Cl}-\\mathrm{C}$ bond; the interaction, therefore, is stronger, leading to a higher boiling point.\n8. $-85^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Water has stronger hydrogen bonds, so it melts at a higher temperature.\n9. The hydrogen bond between two hydrogen fluoride molecules is stronger than that between two water molecules because the electronegativity of $F$ is greater than that of $O$. Consequently, the partial negative charge on F is greater than that on O . The hydrogen bond between the partially positive H and the larger partially negative F will be stronger than that formed between H and O .\n10. H -bonding is the principle IMF holding the protein strands together. The H -bonding is between the $\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{H}$ and $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$.\n11. (a) hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole attraction, and dispersion forces; (b) dispersion forces; (c) dipoledipole attraction and dispersion forces\n12. The water molecules have strong intermolecular forces of hydrogen bonding. The water molecules are thus attracted strongly to one another and exhibit a relatively large surface tension, forming a type of \"skin\" at its surface. This skin can support a bug or paper clip if gently placed on the water.\n13. Temperature has an effect on intermolecular forces: The higher the temperature, the greater the kinetic energies of the molecules and the greater the extent to which their intermolecular forces are overcome, and so the more fluid (less viscous) the liquid. The lower the temperature, the less the intermolecular forces are overcome, and so the less viscous the liquid.\n14. (a) As the water reaches higher temperatures, the increased kinetic energies of its molecules are more effective in overcoming hydrogen bonding, and so its surface tension decreases. Surface tension and intermolecular forces are directly related. (b) The same trend in viscosity is seen as in surface tension, and for the same reason.\n15. $1.7 \\times 10^{-4} \\mathrm{~m}$\n16. The heat is absorbed by the ice, providing the energy required to partially overcome intermolecular attractive forces in the solid and causing a phase transition to liquid water. The solution remains at $0^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ until all the ice is melted. Only the amount of water existing as ice changes until the ice disappears. Then the temperature of the water can rise.\n17. We can see the amount of liquid in an open container decrease and we can smell the vapor of some liquids.\n18. The vapor pressure of a liquid decreases as the strength of its intermolecular forces increases.\n19. As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules of gasoline increases and so a greater fraction of molecules have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid than at lower temperatures.\n20. They are equal when the pressure of gas above the liquid is exactly 1 atm.\n21. approximately $95^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$\n22. (a) At 5000 feet, the atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level, and water will therefore boil at a lower temperature. This lower temperature will cause the physical and chemical changes involved in cooking\nthe egg to proceed more slowly, and a longer time is required to fully cook the egg. (b) As long as the air surrounding the body contains less water vapor than the maximum that air can hold at that temperature, perspiration will evaporate, thereby cooling the body by removing the heat of vaporization required to vaporize the water.\n23. Dispersion forces increase with molecular mass or size. As the number of atoms composing the molecules in this homologous series increases, so does the extent of intermolecular attraction via dispersion forces and, consequently, the energy required to overcome these forces and vaporize the liquids.\n24. The boiling point of $\\mathrm{CS}_{2}$ is higher than that of $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ partially because of the higher molecular weight of $\\mathrm{CS}_{2}$; consequently, the attractive forces are stronger in $\\mathrm{CS}_{2}$. It would be expected, therefore, that the heat of vaporization would be greater than that of $9.8 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ for $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. A value of $28 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ would seem reasonable. A value of $-8.4 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ would indicate a release of energy upon vaporization, which is clearly implausible.\n25. The thermal energy (heat) needed to evaporate the liquid is removed from the skin.\n26. 1130 kJ\n27. (a) 13.0 kJ ; (b) It is likely that the heat of vaporization will have a larger magnitude since in the case of vaporization the intermolecular interactions have to be completely overcome, while melting weakens or destroys only some of them.\n28. At low pressures and $0.005^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, the water is a gas. As the pressure increases to 4.6 torr, the water becomes a solid; as the pressure increases still more, it becomes a liquid. At $40^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, water at low pressure is a vapor; at pressures higher than about 75 torr, it converts into a liquid. At $-40^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, water goes from a gas to a solid as the pressure increases above very low values.\n29.

These intermolecular forces are of comparable strength and thus require the same amount of energy to overcome. As a result, ice melts at a single temperature and not over a range of temperatures.

The salt ionizes in solution, but the anion slightly reacts with water to form the weak acid. This reaction also forms $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$, which causes the solution to be basic.\n15. $\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right]>\\left[\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}\\right]>\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}\\right] \\approx\\left[\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2}{ }^{-}\\right]>\\left[\\mathrm{OH}^{-}\\right]$\n16.

The stronger base or stronger acid is the one with the larger $K_{\\mathrm{b}}$ or $K_{\\mathrm{a}}$, respectively. In these two examples, they are $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{3}\\right)_{2} \\mathrm{NH}$ and $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{NH}_{3}{ }^{+}$.\n39. triethylamine\n41. (a) $\\mathrm{HSO}_{4}{ }^{-}$; higher electronegativity of the central ion. (b) $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$; $\\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is a base and water is neutral, or decide on the basis of $K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ values. (c) $\\mathrm{HI} ; \\mathrm{PH}_{3}$ is weaker than $\\mathrm{HCl} ; \\mathrm{HCl}$ is weaker than HI . Thus, $\\mathrm{PH}_{3}$ is weaker than HI . (d) $\\mathrm{PH}_{3}$; in binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals, the acidity increases for the element lower in a group. (e) HBr ; in a period, the acidity increases from left to right; in a group, it increases from top to bottom. Br is to the left and below S , so HBr is the stronger acid.\n43. (a) $\\mathrm{NaHSeO}_{3}<\\mathrm{NaHSO}_{3}<\\mathrm{NaHSO}_{4}$; in polyoxy acids, the more electronegative central element-S, in this case-forms the stronger acid. The larger number of oxygen atoms on the central atom (giving it a higher oxidation state) also creates a greater release of hydrogen atoms, resulting in a stronger acid. As a salt, the acidity increases in the same manner. (b) $\\mathrm{ClO}_{2}{ }^{-}<\\mathrm{BrO}_{2}{ }^{-}<\\mathrm{IO}_{2}{ }^{-}$; the basicity of the anions in a series of acids will be the opposite of the acidity in their oxyacids. The acidity increases as the electronegativity of the central atom increases. Cl is more electronegative than Br , and I is the least electronegative of the three. (c) $\\mathrm{HOI}<\\mathrm{HOBr}<\\mathrm{HOCl}$; in a series of the same form of oxyacids, the acidity increases as the electronegativity of the central atom increases. Cl is more electronegative than Br , and I is the least\nelectronegative of the three. (d) $\\mathrm{HOCl}<\\mathrm{HOClO}<\\mathrm{HOClO}_{2}<\\mathrm{HOClO}_{3}$; in a series of oxyacids of the same central element, the acidity increases as the number of oxygen atoms increases (or as the oxidation state of the central atom increases). (e) $\\mathrm{HTe}^{-}<\\mathrm{HS}^{-} \\ll \\mathrm{PH}_{2}^{-}<\\mathrm{NH}_{2}^{-} ; \\mathrm{PH}_{2}^{-}$and $\\mathrm{NH}_{2}-$ are anions of weak bases, so they act as strong bases toward $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$. $\\mathrm{HTe}^{-}$and $\\mathrm{HS}^{-}$are anions of weak acids, so they have less basic character. In a periodic group, the more electronegative element has the more basic anion. (f) $\\mathrm{BrO}_{4}{ }^{-}<\\mathrm{BrO}_{3}{ }^{-}<\\mathrm{BrO}_{2}{ }^{-}<\\mathrm{BrO}^{-}$; with a larger number of oxygen atoms (that is, as the oxidation state of the central ion increases), the corresponding acid becomes more acidic and the anion consequently less basic.\n45. $\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right]>\\left[\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{4} \\mathrm{OH}\\left(\\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}\\right)\\right]>\\left[\\mathrm{H}^{+}\\right] 0>\\left[\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{4} \\mathrm{OH}\\left(\\mathrm{CO}_{2}\\right)^{-}\\right] \\gg\\left[\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{4} \\mathrm{O}\\left(\\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}\\right)^{-}\\right]>\\left[\\mathrm{OH}^{-}\\right]$\n47. 1. Assume that the change in initial concentration of the acid as the equilibrium is established can be neglected, so this concentration can be assumed constant and equal to the initial value of the total acid concentration. 2. Assume we can neglect the contribution of water to the equilibrium concentration of $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}$.\n48. (b) The addition of HCl\n50. (a) Adding HCl will add $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}$ions, which will then react with the $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ions, lowering their concentration. The equilibrium will shift to the right, increasing the concentration of $\\mathrm{HO}_{2}$, and decreasing the concentration of $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}{ }^{-}$ions. (b) Adding $\\mathrm{HNO}_{2}$ increases the concentration of $\\mathrm{HNO}_{2}$ and shifts the equilibrium to the left, increasing the concentration of $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}{ }^{-}$ions and decreasing the concentration of $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ions. (c) Adding NaOH adds $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ions, which shifts the equilibrium to the left, increasing the concentration of $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}{ }^{-}$ions and decreasing the concentrations of $\\mathrm{HNO}_{2}$. (d) Adding NaCl has no effect on the concentrations of the ions. (e) Adding $\\mathrm{KNO}_{2}$ adds $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}{ }^{-}$ions and shifts the equilibrium to the right, increasing the $\\mathrm{HNO}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ion concentrations.\n52. This is a case in which the solution contains a mixture of acids of different ionization strengths. In solution, the $\\mathrm{HCO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}$ exists primarily as $\\mathrm{HCO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}$ molecules because the ionization of the weak acid is suppressed by the strong acid. Therefore, the $\\mathrm{HCO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}$ contributes a negligible amount of hydronium ions to the solution. The stronger acid, HCl , is the dominant producer of hydronium ions because it is completely ionized. In such a solution, the stronger acid determines the concentration of hydronium ions, and the ionization of the weaker acid is fixed by the $\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}\\right]$produced by the stronger acid.\n54.

At low temperatures, this term is decreased, resulting in a lower cell voltage provided by the battery to the device-the same effect as a battery running dead.\n38. Mg and Zn\n40. Both examples involve cathodic protection. The (sacrificial) anode is the metal that corrodes (oxidizes or reacts). In the case of iron ( -0.447 V ) and zinc ( -0.7618 V ), zinc has a more negative standard reduction potential and so serves as the anode. In the case of iron and copper ( 0.34 V ), iron has the smaller standard reduction potential and so corrodes (serves as the anode).\n42. While the reduction potential of lithium would make it capable of protecting the other metals, this high potential is also indicative of how reactive lithium is; it would have a spontaneous reaction with most substances. This means that the lithium would react quickly with other substances, even those that would not oxidize the metal it is attempting to protect. Reactivity like this means the sacrificial anode would be depleted rapidly and need to be replaced frequently. (Optional additional reason: fire hazard in the presence of water.)\n46.

The stronger attraction of the oxygen electron results in a stronger attraction of oxygen for the electrons in the O-H bond, making the hydrogen more easily released. The weaker this bond, the stronger the acid.\n89. As $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{SO}_{4}$ and $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{SeO}_{4}$ are both oxyacids and their central atoms both have the same oxidation number, the acid strength depends on the relative electronegativity of the central atom. As sulfur is more electronegative than selenium, $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{SO}_{4}$ is the stronger acid.\n91. $\\mathrm{SO}_{2}, s p^{2} 4+; \\mathrm{SO}_{3}, s p^{2}, 6+; \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{SO}_{4}, s p^{3}, 6+$\n93. $\\mathrm{SF}_{6}: \\mathrm{S}=6+; \\mathrm{SO}_{2} \\mathrm{~F}_{2}: \\mathrm{S}=6+$; $\\mathrm{KHS}: \\mathrm{S}=2-$\n95.

A salt must have ionic bonds.\n103. In oxyacids with similar formulas, the acid strength increases as the electronegativity of the central atom increases. $\\mathrm{HClO}_{3}$ is stronger than $\\mathrm{HBrO}_{3} ; \\mathrm{Cl}$ is more electronegative than Br .\n105.

The electron pulled into the nucleus was most likely found in the $1 s$ orbital. As an electron falls from a higher energy level to replace it, the difference in the energy of the replacement electron in its two energy levels is given off as an X-ray.\n13.

(a) 3.8 billion years; (b) The rock would be younger than the age calculated in part (a).

Two nuclei must collide for fusion to occur. High temperatures are required to give the nuclei enough kinetic energy to overcome the very strong repulsion resulting from their positive charges.\n26. A nuclear reactor consists of the following:\n27. A nuclear fuel. A fissionable isotope must be present in large enough quantities to sustain a controlled chain reaction. The radioactive isotope is contained in tubes called fuel rods.\n28. A moderator. A moderator slows neutrons produced by nuclear reactions so that they can be absorbed by the fuel and cause additional nuclear reactions.\n29. A coolant. The coolant carries heat from the fission reaction to an external boiler and turbine where it is transformed into electricity.\n30. A control system. The control system consists of control rods placed between fuel rods to absorb neutrons and is used to adjust the number of neutrons and keep the rate of the chain reaction at a safe level.\n31. A shield and containment system. The function of this component is to protect workers from radiation produced by the nuclear reactions and to withstand the high pressures resulting from hightemperature reactions.\n32. The fission of uranium generates heat, which is carried to an external steam generator (boiler). The resulting steam turns a turbine that powers an electrical generator.\n33. Introduction of either radioactive $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$or radioactive $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$into the solution containing the stated reaction, with subsequent time given for equilibration, will produce a radioactive precipitate that was originally devoid of radiation.\n34.

Both reactions result in bromine being incorporated into the structure of the product. The difference is the way in which that incorporation takes place. In the saturated hydrocarbon, an existing $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond is broken, and a bond between the C and the Br can then be formed. In the unsaturated hydrocarbon, the only bond broken in the hydrocarbon is the $\\pi$ bond whose electrons can be used to form a bond to one of the bromine atoms in $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ (the electrons from the $\\mathrm{Br}-\\mathrm{Br}$ bond form the other $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{Br}$ bond on the other carbon that was part of the $\\pi$ bond in the starting unsaturated hydrocarbon).\n3. Unbranched alkanes have free rotation about the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ bonds, yielding all orientations of the substituents about these bonds equivalent, interchangeable by rotation. In the unbranched alkenes, the inability to rotate about the $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{C}$ bond results in fixed (unchanging) substituent orientations, thus permitting different isomers. Since these concepts pertain to phenomena at the molecular level, this explanation involves the microscopic domain.\n4.
