Molecular Formulae

  • A molecular formula shows the type and number of atoms in a molecule (e.g., H₂O, CH₄).
  • Seven elements exist as diatomic molecules: H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂.
  • Atoms combine in fixed ratios to achieve full outer electron shells.
  • The molecular formula can be deduced from the relative number of atoms present (e.g., ammonia = NH₃).

Empirical Formulae (Extended)

  • The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound.
  • For ionic compounds, the molecular formula is always the same as the empirical formula (e.g., NaCl).
  • For molecular compounds, the empirical formula may differ (e.g., C₂H₄ has empirical formula CH₂).
  • To find the empirical formula, divide the number of atoms of each element by the greatest common factor.

Formulae of Ionic Compounds (Extended)

  • Ionic compounds are neutral overall; the total positive charge equals the total negative charge.
  • Use direct comparison of charges: e.g., Fe²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ give FeSO₄.
  • Use the swap-and-drop method for different charges: e.g., Cu²⁺ and Cl⁻ give CuCl₂.
  • Common polyatomic ions: CO₃²⁻, SO₄²⁻, OH⁻, NO₃⁻, NH₄⁺.

Writing Word Equations

  • Word equations show reactants and products using full chemical names: reactants → products.
  • The arrow means 'to form' or 'produces'.
  • Reaction conditions or catalysts can be written above the arrow.
  • Example: sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → sodium chloride + water.

Writing Symbol Equations

  • Symbol equations use chemical formulae and must be balanced to conserve mass.
  • Include state symbols: (s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) aqueous.
  • Write diatomic non-metals as molecules: H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂.
  • Balance by adjusting coefficients (numbers in front of formulae), never change subscripts.

Balancing Ionic Equations (Extended)

  • Ionic compounds in aqueous solution dissociate into ions.
  • Steps: write balanced symbol equation, replace ionic compounds with ions, cancel spectator ions.
  • Spectator ions appear unchanged on both sides and are removed.
  • Example: 2I⁻(aq) + Cl₂(aq) → 2Cl⁻(aq) + I₂(aq).

Relative Atomic Mass (Ar) & Relative Molecular Mass (Mr)

  • Relative atomic mass (Ar) is the mass of an atom compared to carbon-12 (Ar = 12).
  • Ar values are found on the Periodic Table; e.g., H = 1, C = 12, O = 16.
  • Relative molecular mass (Mr) is the sum of Ar of all atoms in a molecule.
  • For ionic compounds, the term relative formula mass is used (e.g., NaCl = 58.5).

Reacting Masses

  • The Law of Conservation of Mass states total mass of reactants equals total mass of products.
  • Use balanced equations and Ar/Mr to calculate masses of reactants or products.
  • Example: 2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO; 80 g Ca reacts with 32 g O₂ to form 112 g CaO.
  • Mass ratios are fixed; scaling up or down uses the same ratio.
