Chapter 4
Chemical Foundations: Elements, Atoms, and Ions
Element: is a substance consists of identical atoms.
Cannot be divided by chemical & physical methods.
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
116 elements – 88 in nature
Millions of compound are composed of these 116 elements.
Element abundance on earth
H: 0.9%
Ti: 0.6%
Others: 0.9%
O-O
O2
Almost half of the mass is oxygen.
20% of atmosphere.
Element Symbols
The first letter or two first letters of element name:
Oxygen
O
Silicon

Carbon
C
Argon
Ar
Sometimes, two letters are not the first letters:
Chlorine
Cl
Zinc
Zn
Sometimes, old names are used (Latin or Greek):
Iron (Ferrum)
Fe
Lead (Plumbum)
Pb
Dalton’s Atomic theory
1. All matter is made up of very tiny, indivisible particles (atoms).
2. All atoms of a given element have the same chemical properties.
3. Compounds are made up of two or more different kinds of atoms.
A compound has the same relative numbers and types of atoms.
Law of constant composition: Compound always has the same composition.

4. Atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
A chemical reaction changes the way the atoms are grouped together.

Atom
Nucleus: positive charge
Atoms are neutral.
Atomic mass unit (amu) = 1.6605×10-24 g
mass of proton = 1 amu
mass of neutron = 1 amu
mass of electron = 5.48×10-4 amu

Atomic weight: of an element is average of the masses (in amu)
of its isotopes found on the Earth.

Classification of the elements
metals
nonmetals
metalloids
Metals:
solid (except mercury), shiny, conductors of electricity and heat, ductile, malleable
Nonmetals: solid, liquid or gas, do not conduct electricity (except graphite)
Metalloids (Semimetals): between metals and nonmetals
Most elements are reactive and they cannot be found in nature in free form.
Noble metals: unrecative metals
