Topics in Atoms and molecules and chemical reactions

1

Fundamental Laws of Chemical Combinations

  • Law of Conservation of Mass: Matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. Mass of reactants = Mass of products
  • Proposed by Antoine Lavoisier (Father of Modern Chemistry) based on closed system experiments
  • Law of Constant Proportions: A given chemical substance always contains the same elements combined in fixed proportions by mass
2

Dalton's Atomic Theory

  • Proposed by John Dalton to explain the fundamental laws of chemical combinations
  • Postulate 1: Matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms
  • Postulate 2: Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions - only rearranged
3

Symbols, Atomic Mass, and Mole Concept

  • Element symbols: 1-2 letters, first always capital (H, O, Ca, Cl)
  • Some symbols from Latin names: Na (Natrium), Fe (Ferrum), Au (Aurum)
  • Atomic Mass Unit (amu) = 1/12th mass of Carbon-12 atom
4

Molecules, Atomicity, and Chemical Formulas

  • Molecule: Smallest particle of substance retaining all properties
  • Atomicity: Number of atoms in a molecule (monoatomic, diatomic, polyatomic)
  • Examples: He (monoatomic), H₂ (diatomic), O₃ (triatomic), P₄ (tetraatomic)
