Atoms, Molecules and Ions

Chapter 2
Atomic number, Mass number and Isotopes
Atomic number (Z) = number of protons in nucleus
Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons
= atomic number (Z) + number of neutrons
Isotopes are atoms of the same element (X) with different
numbers of neutrons in their nuclei

A molecule is an aggregate of two or more atoms in a
definite arrangement held together by chemical forces

H2 H2O NH3 CH4

A diatomic molecule contains only two atoms


H2, N2, O2, Br2, HCl, CO

A polyatomic molecule contains more than two atoms


O3, H2O, NH3, CH4

2.5
An ion is an atom, or group of atoms, that has a net
positive or negative charge.
cation – ion with a positive charge
If a neutral atom loses one or more electrons
it becomes a cation.

Na 11 electrons Na+ 10 electrons

anion – ion with a negative charge


If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons
it becomes an anion.

A molecular formula shows the exact number of
atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a
substance

An empirical formula shows the simplest


whole-number ratio of the atoms in a substance

ionic compounds consist of a combination of cations
and an anions
• the formula is always the same as the empirical formula
• the sum of the charges on the cation(s) and anion(s) in each
formula unit must equal zero

Chemical Nomenclature
• Ionic Compounds
– often a metal + nonmetal
– anion (nonmetal), add “ide” to element name

K2O potassium oxide
Mg(OH)2 magnesium hydroxide

KNO3 potassium nitrate

2.7
• Transition metal ionic compounds
– indicate charge on metal with Roman numerals

FeCl2 2 Cl- -2 so Fe is +2 iron(II) chloride

FeCl3 3 Cl- -3 so Fe is +3 iron(III) chloride

Cr2S3 3 S-2 -6 so Cr is +3 (6/2) chromium(III) sulfide

• Molecular compounds
• nonmetals or nonmetals + metalloids
• common names
• H2O, NH3, CH4, C60
• element further left in periodic table
is 1st
• element closest to bottom of group is
1st
• if more than one compound can be
formed from the same elements, use
prefixes to indicate number of each
kind of atom
• last element ends in ide
