A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
Introduction
Hello students! Welcome to General Chemistry 1. For this semester, we shall be using Flexible
Learning modality. It means that a physical and face-to-face interaction is limited due to the current
pandemic that we are facing right now. We hope that everyone is safe and healthy. So how this Flexible
Learning would be implemented? It is by 4-10 Day scheme. A 4-day meets up at the classroom is for
periodical exams, quizzes, submittal of any given reports and the like. While a 10-day are allotted for
you to stay at home and learn independently by using our flexible learning module. So are you ready?
B. MAIN LESSON
From the moment you were born, you get to experience the world in many ways by interacting with the
different things that surround you. All of these things you get to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste is MATTER. As
you’ve probably already learned, matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. It includes all things
you encounter in daily life, like food and clothes, and even the moon or the stars that are light years away.
Thus, everything in the universe is made up of matter.
Thus, to understand how the world works, it is important to study matter, its different properties, and the
different changes it can undergo. The branch of science that deals with this particular area and is also referred
to as study of matter is called Chemistry.
All particles of the same substance are identical to each other in every way.
Different substances are made of different
particles
All matter is made of extremely tiny particles (much, much smaller than cells)
Particles of matter are always moving

Activity 2
Directions: Answer the following questions based from your answer in Exercise 1.
C. LESSON WRAP-UP
1. If the particles of a liquid are always moving, why don’t they all come apart from each other and
become a gas?
Even though the particles of a liquid are moving, they are attracted to each other so they don’t
just spread far apart to become a gas. But some do when they evaporate.
2. Water beads up on the surface of a freshly waxed car. If you use your finger to drag one drop very
close to another and let them touch, the two drops quickly join together to become one bigger drop.
What can you infer about water molecules based on this observation?
Water molecules are very attracted to one another.
3. Even though water in a clear glass appears still, a drop of food coloring placed at the surface will slowly
move throughout the water. Eventually, without stirring or shaking, the water will become evenly
colored. What can you infer about water molecules based on these observations?
Water molecules are in motion.

Introduction
Good day students! Another opportunity to learn and our topic for this day is all about the
different states of matter and phase changes. Solid, liquid, and gas are called the phases of matter, and
these phases represent another way to classify matter. This is according to how well it maintains its
shape and volume.
Did you know?
A fourth state of matter? That’s right! You are most likely familiar with the three most common
states of matter, but there is also one uncommon state of matter. This fourth state of matter is called
plasma, and while some of you may know the word you may not know much about its characteristic
properties.
Plasma can be defined as a gaseous mixture of positive ions and elctrons. Perhaps you could
imagine this as a large number of atoms of a substance having has some of their electrons stripped
away. Plasma temperature and densities range from relatively cool to very dense and hot. On Earth,
this special mixture can only be created at very high temperature in a laboratory and carefully contained
for use in objects like plasma TVs.
B. MAIN LESSON
Have you ever wondered what is really going on inside a plasma television? How does the evaporation
of a liquid in a closed container compare with that of a liquid in an open container? Maybe you have seen the
label on a tank of compressed gas and wondered why it matters how the tank of gas is stored. As you work
through this module, these (and many others) questions will be answered.
In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter
are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Many other states are known to exist, such as
glass or liquid crystal, and some only exist under extreme conditions, such as Bose–Einstein condensates,
neutron-degenerate matter, and quark-gluon plasma, which only occur, respectively, in situations of extreme
cold, extreme density, and extremely high-energy. Some other states are believed to be possible but remain
theoretical for now. For a complete list of all exotic states of matter, see the list of states of matter.
Historically, the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in properties. Matter in the solid state
maintains a fixed volume and shape, with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) close together and
fixed into place. Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume, but has a variable shape that adapts to fit
its container. Its particles are still close together but move freely. Matter in the gaseous state has both variable
volume and shape, adapting both to fit its container. Its particles are neither close together nor fixed in place.
Matter in the plasma state has variable volume and shape, but as well as neutral atoms, it contains a
significant number of ions and electrons, both of which can move around freely.

Introduction
Good day students! Today, we shall learn about the different properties of matter. Our learning target
for this session is to differentiate physical and chemical property of matter. Are you excited to learn?
That’s great!

B. MAIN LESSON
Matter has many properties. Some are physical properties. Physical properties of matter are
properties that can be measured or observed without matter changing to a different substance. For example,
whether a given substance normally exists as a solid, liquid, or gas is a physical property. Consider water. It is
a liquid at room temperature, but if it freezes and changes to ice, it is still water. Generally, physical properties
are things you can see, hear, smell, or feel with your senses.
It is not only necessary to define the various forms of matter but we need to be concerned also with the
characteristics or properties of matter. Furthermore, we wish to define the changes that matter can undergo. A
physical property of matter is one that can be observed without changing its composition. Gold is a shiny
yellow metal. Lead has a high density. Observations of these characteristics do not change the composition. A
chemical property is one which is observed when matter undergoes a transformation that results in a change of
composition. Gasoline will burn in air to form products which are very different from the original material. Iron
will rust in moist air to form a compound called iron oxide.
Physical properties are characteristics of an individual substance that can be determined without
changing the composition of the substance. Examples of physical properties: Color, Hardness,
Electrical conductivity, Heat conductivity, Melting point, Boiling point and phase changes.
These are properties that do not depend on the amount of matter present. Examples of intensive
properties: Color, Odor, Taste, Luster, Malleability, Ductility, Conductivity, Hardness, Melting/ freezing
point, Boiling point, Density.
These are the properties that do depend on the amount of matter present. Examples of extensive
properties: Weight, Volume, Length, Width, Mass, Surface area.
Chemical properties describe how the composition of a substance changes or does not change when it
interacts with other substances or energy forms. Terms used to describe chemical properties are
“reactive”, “inert”, “unstable”, and “combustible”. Chemical properties are observed when a substance
changes composition.
Physical change occurs when the physical properties of a substance are altered, but the composition
remains the same. No new substance forms in a physical change.
Changes that do alter the identity of a substance. Chemical changes, also called chemical reactions,
are the result of the chemical properties of mater. After a chemical change, the composition is no longer
the same.

Introduction
How are you students? Hoping you’re doing well. Are you ready for today’s lesson? Yes! Our
topic for today is all about classifying matter. Classifying is the act of mentally making groups based on
similar properties. Classifying helps to organize your thinking and reveals patterns that might otherwise
go unnoticed. In this module, we will consider several different ways of classifying matter by focusing
on different properties.
B. MAIN LESSON
ACID- substance that yields hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.
BASE- substance that yields hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
COLLOID- a dispersion of particles of one substance throughout a dispersing medium made of another
substance.
COMPOUND- substance composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically united in fixed
proportions.
ELEMENTS- substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means.
HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE- the individual component of a mixture remain physically separated and
can be seen as separate components.
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE- the composition of mixture, after sufficient stirring, is the same
throughout the solution.
INORGANIC COMPOUND- compounds other than organic compounds.
MATTER- anything that occupies space and has mass.
METAL- element that are good conductor of heat and electricity and have the tendency to form positive
ions in ionic compounds.
METALLOID- element with properties intermediate between those of metals and non- metals.
MIXTURE- combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain their identity.
NON- METAL- element that usually poor conductors of heat and electricity.
ORGANIC COMPOUND- compounds that contain carbon, usually in combination with elements such
as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.
OXIDES - substances that contains at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical
formula.
SALTS - is the product of the reaction between an acid and a base (other than water). An inorganic salt
is just any salt that doesn't contain carbon.
SOLUTION- A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
SUBSTANCE- a form of matter that has a definite or constant composition.
SUSPENSION- heterogeneous mixture in which relatively large particles scattered through solid, liquid,
gas and it is bigger than solution and colloid.

Introduction
Read first the example of accuracy and precision below then relate the ideas that you will get to the
given analogy to further understand the concept.
In lab if you obtain a weight measurement of 3.2 kg for a given substance, but the actual or known
weight is 10 kg, then your measurement is not accurate. In this case, your measurement is not close to the
known value.
If you weigh a given substance five times, and get 3.2 kg each time, then your measurement is very
precise.
Answer the following questions by YES or NO. Write your answer before each number.
___________1. Throw darts at a dartboard. If they land close to the bull’s eye, then are you accurate?
___________2. If they cluster together, then are you precise?
___________3. If they aren't near the bull’s-eye, then are you accurate?
___________4. If they cluster in the outer edge, then are you precise?

There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:
A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.
Focus on these rules and learn them well. They will be used extensively throughout the remainder of
this course. You would be well advised to do as many problems as needed to nail the concept of significant
figures down tight and then do some more, just to be sure.
Please remember that, in science, all numbers are based upon measurements (except for a very few
that are defined). Since all measurements are uncertain, we must only use those numbers that are
meaningful. A common ruler cannot measure something to be 22.4072643 cm long. Not all of the digits have
meaning (significance) and, therefore, should not be written down. In science, only the numbers that have
significance (derived from measurement) are written.
In mathematical operations involving significant figures, the answer is reported in such a way that it
reflects the reliability of the least precise operation. Let's state that another way: a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link. An answer is no more precise that the least precise number used to get the answer. Let's do it
one more time: imagine a team race where you and your team must finish together. Who dictates the speed of
the team? Of course, the slowest member of the team. Your answer cannot be MORE precise than the least
precise measurement.
For addition and subtraction, look at the places to the decimal point. Add or subtract in the normal
fashion, then round the answer to the LEAST number of places to the decimal point of any number in the
problem.
In mathematical operations involving significant figures, the answer is reported in such a way that it
reflects the reliability of the least precise operation. Let's state that another way: a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link. An answer is no more precise that the least precise number used to get the answer. Let's do it
one more time: imagine a team race where you and your team must finish together. Who dictates the speed of
the team? Of course, the slowest member of the team. Your answer cannot be MORE precise than the least
precise measurement.
The LEAST number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of
significant figures in the answer. This means you MUST know how to recognize significant figures in order to
use this rule.

Answer Key
1) 3.0800 - five significant figures. All the rules are illustrated by this problem. Rule one - the 3 and the
8. Rule Two - the zero between the 3 and 8. Rule three - the two trailing zeros after the 8.
2) 0.00418 - three significant figures: the 4, the 1, and the 8. This is a typical type of problem where the
student errs by giving five significant figures as the answer.
3) 7.09 x 10 -5 - three significant figures. When a number is written in scientific notation, only significant
figures are placed into the numerical portion. If this number were taken out of scientific notation, it
would be 0.0000709.
4) 91,600 - three significant figures. The last two zeros are not considered to be significant (at least
normally). Suppose you had information that showed the zero in the tens place to be significant. How
would you show it to be different from the zero in the ones place, which is not significant? The answer
is scientific notation. Here is how it would be written: 9.160 x 10 4. This CLEARLY indicates the
presence of four significant figures.
5) 0.003005 - four significant figures. No matter how many zeros there are between two significant
figures, all the zeros are to be considered significant. A number like 70.000001 would have 8 significant
figures.
6) 3.200 x 109 - four significant figures. Notice the use of scientific notation to indicate that there are two
zeros which should be significant. If this number were to be written without scientific notation
(3,200,000,000) the significance of those two zeros would be lost and you would - wrongly - say that
there were only two significant figures.

Introduction
Hello students! Today, we will learn how to write Isotopic Symbol and Ionic Notation. In relation
to the chemical elements, a symbol is a code for a chemical element. Symbols for chemical elements
normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter
capitalized.
If you are ready, you may proceed with the following activities prepared for you.
B. MAIN LESSON
In relation to the chemical elements, a symbol is a code for a chemical element. Symbols for chemical
elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter
capitalized.
Earlier symbols for chemical elements stem from classical Latin and Greek vocabulary. For some
elements, this is because the material was known in ancient times, while for others, the name is a more recent
invention. For example, Pb is the symbol for lead (plumbum in Latin); Hg is the symbol
for mercury (hydrargyrum in Greek); and He is the symbol for helium (a new Latin name) because helium was
not known in ancient Roman times. Some symbols come from other sources, like W for tungsten (Wolfram in
German) which was not known in Roman times.
A 3-letter temporary symbol may be assigned to a newly synthesized (or not-yet synthesized) element.
For example, "Uno" was the temporary symbol for hassium (element 108) which had the temporary name
of unniloctium, based on its atomic number being 8 greater than 100. There are also some historical symbols
that are no longer officially used.
In addition to the letter(s) for the element itself, additional details may be added to the symbol
as superscripts or subscripts a particular isotope, ionization or oxidation state, or other atomic detail.[1] A few
isotopes have their own specific symbols rather than just an isotopic detail added to their element symbol.
Attached subscripts or superscripts specifying a nuclide or molecule have the following meanings and
positions:
The nucleon number (mass number) is shown in the left superscript position (e.g., 14N). This number
defines the specific isotope. Various letters, such as "m" and "f" may also be used here to indicate
a nuclear isomer (e.g., 99mTc). Alternately, the number here can represent a specific spin state (e.g., 1O2).
These details can be omitted if not relevant in a certain context.
The proton number (atomic number) may be indicated in the left subscript position (e.g., 64Gd). The atomic
number is redundant to the chemical element, but is sometimes used to emphasize the change of numbers
of nucleons in a nuclear reaction.
If necessary, a state of ionization or an excited state may be indicated in the right superscript position (e.g.,
state of ionization Ca2+).
The number of atoms of an element in a molecule or chemical compound is shown in the right subscript
position (e.g., N2 or Fe2O3). If this number is one, it is normally omitted - the number one is implicitly
understood if unspecified.
A radical is indicated by a dot on the right side (e.g., Cl• for a neutral chlorine atom). This is often omitted
unless relevant to a certain context because it is already deducible from the charge and atomic number, as
generally true for non-bonded valence electrons in skeletal structures.
Postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory- “all atoms of an element are identical”, but they are not identical in all
aspect. Masses of atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of the same element which have different masses
are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have different no. of neutrons. Isotopes are identified by their
mass no. Atoms may gain charges. This happens when electrons are lost or gained by the atom. When this
happens, the atom becomes an ion. Neutral atom: no. of electrons = no. of protons.
ION
*Cation - Positive (+) charge, electrons are removed from neutral atom; no. of proton is greater than the no.
of electron.
*Anion - Negative (-) charge, neutral atom gains electrons, no. of electron is greater than the no. of proton.

Introduction
Good day students! Are you excited for today’s lesson? Yes! We are going to study on how to calculate
the average atomic mass. The average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes,
each multiplied by its natural abundance.
B. MAIN LESSON
Average atomic mass = f1M1 + f2M2 + … + fnMn where f is the fraction representing the natural
abundance of the isotope and M is the mass number (weight) of the isotope.
The average atomic mass of an element can be found on the periodic table, typically under the
elemental symbol. When data are available regarding the natural abundance of various isotopes of an element,
it is simple to calculate the average atomic mass.
For helium, there is approximately one isotope of Helium-3 for every million isotopes of Helium - 4;
therefore, the average atomic mass is very close to 4 amu (4.002602 amu).
Chlorine consists of two major isotopes, one with 18 neutrons (75.77 percent of natural chlorine atoms)
and one with 20 neutrons (24.23 percent of natural chlorine atoms). The atomic number of chlorine is 17
(it has 17 protons in its nucleus).
To calculate the average mass, first convert the percentages into fractions (divide them by 100). Then,
calculate the mass numbers. The chlorine isotope with 18 neutrons has an abundance of 0.7577 and a mass
number of 35 amu. To calculate the average atomic mass, multiply the fraction by the mass number for each
isotope, and then add them together.
Average atomic mass of chlorine = (0.7577 x 35 amu) + (0.2423 x 37 amu) = 35.48 amu
Another example is to calculate the atomic mass of boron (B), which has two isotopes: B-10 with 19.9%
natural abundance and B-11 with 80.1% abundance. Therefore,
Average atomic mass of boron = (0.199 x 10 amu) + (0.801 x 11 amu) = 10.80 amu

Introduction
Good day students! I hope you’re doing great. Today we will be focusing on measuring amounts of
substances. But before that, please answer the activity below as a review of the topic last session.
Directions: Complete the table. Refer with periodic table for atomic mass.
B. MAIN LESSON
Substances take up space and have mass. Molecules, which make up substances, often need to be
measured in experiments, and it is important that these measurements are accurate. But, how can we
measure something so small in an accurate way? How do we normally measure molecules In this module, we
use steps to calculate molar mass as well as percentage composition by mass.
Through careful calculation, scientists can determine the number of moles a specific reaction will need.
A mole is a unit of measure that helps us compare particles of any given substance and its mass. If we already
know the number of moles needed, we can use the concept of molar mass to calculate how many grams of
the substance are required. The molar mass, also known as molecular weight, is the sum of the total mass
in grams of all the atoms that make up a mole of a particular molecule. The unit used to measure is grams
per mole.
The compound sodium chloride is made up of two elements, namely, sodium and chlorine. Let's use
this compound, sodium chloride, as our first example on how to calculate the molar mass for the compounds.
The first thing we need to do is to find sodium and chlorine in the periodic table.
Step 1: Find the atomic masses of individual elements in the periodic table
The first thing we need is to find the individual atomic masses for each element. If you look at the
entries for sodium and chlorine in the table, we will pay attention to the numbers that appear in the top left (see
video). These represent the atomic mass. The element sodium has an atomic mass of 22.98976 g/mol. The
element chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.453 g/mol.
Step 2: Count how many atoms there are for each element
For the compound sodium chloride, since there are no subscripts (small numbers at the bottom of each
element's symbol), that means there is only one sodium and only one chlorine atom for this compound.
Now that we know how many atoms there are for each element, we can find the molar mass.
First, we calculate the mass of the sodium atoms, which is 22.98976 grams per mole. Next, we do the
same for the mass of chlorine atoms, which is 35.453 grams per mole. Then, we add these two masses
together to find the total mass of sodium chloride molecules. This comes out to 58.44276 grams per mole
which we can round to 58.44 grams per mole.
Percent composition indicates the relative amounts of each element in a compound. For each element,
the mass percent formula is:
% mass = (mass of element in 1 mole of the compound) / (molar mass of the compound) x 100%
The units of mass are typically grams. Mass percent is also known as percent by weight or w/w%. The
molar mass is the sum of the masses of all the atoms in one mole of the compound. The sum all the mass
percentages should add up to 100%. Watch for rounding errors in the last significant figure to make sure all the
percentages add up.

A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
Introduction
So far, we have been talking about chemical substances in terms of individual atoms and molecules.
Yet we don’t typically deal with substances an atom or a molecule at a time; we work with millions, billions,
and trillions of atoms and molecules at a time. What we need is a way to deal with macroscopic, rather
than microscopic, amounts of matter. We need a unit of amount that relates quantities of substances on a
scale that we can interact with.
B. MAIN LESSON
Chemistry uses a unit called mole. A mole (mol) is a number of things equal to the number of atoms in
exactly 12 g of carbon-12. Experimental measurements have determined that this number is very large:
Understand that a mole means a number of things, just like a dozen means a certain number of
things—twelve, in the case of a dozen. But a mole is a much larger number of things. These things can be
atoms, or molecules, or eggs; however, in chemistry, we usually use the mole to refer to the amounts of atoms
or molecules. Although the number of things in a mole is known to eight decimal places, it is usually fine to use
only two or three decimal places in calculations. The numerical value of things in a mole is often
called Avogadro’s number (NA), which is also known as the Avogadro constant, after Amadeo Avogadro, an
Italian chemist who first proposed its importance.
How big is a mole? It is very large. Suppose you had a mole of dollar bills that need to be counted. If
everyone on earth (about 6 billion people) counted one bill per second, it would take about 3.2 million years to
count all the bills. A mole of sand would fill a cube about 32 km on a side. A mole of pennies stacked on top of
each other would have about the same diameter as our galaxy, the Milky Way. A mole is a lot of things—but
atoms and molecules are very tiny. One mole of carbon atoms would make a cube that is 1.74 cm on a side,
small enough to carry in your pocket.
Why is the mole unit so important? It represents the link between the microscopic and the macroscopic,
especially in terms of mass. A mole of a substance has the same mass in grams as one unit (atom or
molecules) has in atomic mass units. The mole unit allows us to express amounts of atoms and molecules in
visible amounts that we can understand.
In chemistry, we need to have a way of counting particles (atoms, molecules or ions) without actually
counting them like we count objects we can see and hold.
The mole is a unit of measurement to express amounts of a chemical substance. It is one of the base units in
the International System of Units; it has the unit symbol mol. This corresponds to the Avogadro’s number in
honor of Amadeo Avogadro, which has a value of 6.02 ×1023. One mole of a substance has the same
number of particles as exactly 12 grams of carbon- 12 and has a mass equivalent to atomic, molecular or
formula mass of the substance (as appropriate) expressed in grams.
If we were able to count atoms at the rate of 10 million per second, it would take about 2 billion years to count
the atoms in one mole.
Molar mass is the mass in grams of one mole of a substance. Its unit is grams per mole (g/mol)
To convert mass to mole, divide the mass by the molar mass. To convert mole to mass, multiply the number
of moles by the molar mass.
To convert mole to the number of particles, multiply the number of moles by the Avogadro’s number. To get
the number of moles from a given number of particles, divide the number of particles by the Avogadro’s
number.

Introduction
Great day everyone! Ever wondered how we know the formula of a chemical compound? In this
lesson, we will learn how to determine the empirical formula and the steps in calculating it.
B. MAIN LESSON
Molecular formulas describe the exact number and type of atoms in a single molecule of a compound.
The constituent elements are represented by their chemical symbols, and the number of atoms of each
element present in each molecule is shown as a subscript following that element’s symbol. The molecular
formula expresses information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound,
using a single line of chemical element symbols and numbers. Sometimes it also includes other symbols, such
as parentheses, dashes, brackets, and plus (+) and minus (–) signs.
For organic compounds, carbon and hydrogen are listed as the first elements in the molecular formula,
and they are followed by the remaining elements in alphabetical order. For example, for butane, the molecular
formula is C4H10. For ionic compounds, the cation precedes the anion in the molecular formula. For example,
the molecular formula of sodium fluoride is NaF.
A molecular formula is not a chemical name, and it contains no words. Although a molecular formula
may imply certain simple chemical structures, it is not the same as a full chemical structural formula. Molecular
formulas are more limiting than chemical names and structural formulas.
The simplest types of chemical formulas are called empirical formulas, which indicate the ratio of each
element in the molecule. The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of all the atoms in a
molecule. For example:
The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. The molecular formula indicates the exact number of
atoms in the molecule.
The empirical formula expresses the smallest whole number ratio of the atoms in the element. In this
case, the empirical formula of glucose is CH2O.
To convert between empirical and molecular formulas, the empirical formula can be multiplied by a whole
number to reach the molecular formula. In this case, the empirical formula would be multiplied by 6 to get to
the molecular formula.
The compound dichlorine hexoxide has an empirical formula ClO 3 and the molecular formula Cl2O6
The compound hydrogen peroxide has the empirical formula HO and the molecular formula H 2O2
To calculate the empirical formula, you must first determine the relative masses of the various elements
present. You can either use mass data in grams or percent composition. For percent composition, we assume
the total percent of a compound is equal to 100% and the percent composition is the same in grams. For
example, the total mass of the compound is 100 grams. If a compound contained 68% carbon, 9% hydrogen,
and 23% oxygen, we would assume 68 grams of carbon, 9 grams of hydrogen, and 23 grams of oxygen.
The steps for determining the empirical formula of a compound are as follows:
Step 1: Obtain the mass of each element present in grams
Element % = mass in g = m
Step 2: Determine the number of moles of each type of atom present
m/atomic mass = Molar amount (M)
Step 3: Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles
The empirical formula of a compound gives the simplest whole- number ratio of the elements in the compound.
It is the lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound.
The molecular formula of a compound gives the number of atoms of each element present in one molecule of
the compound and is always an integer multiple of the empirical formula. It is the true number of atoms of each
element in the formula of a compound.

Introduction
Hello students! Are you excited for our new topic? Yes! Today you will learn on how to write a balanced
chemical equation. If you are ready, you may proceed with the following activities.
B. MAIN LESSON
A chemical equation is an expression of the net composition change associated with a chemical
reaction. It shows how a certain amount of reactants yields a certain amount of products. Both of these
amounts are measured in moles. Chemical equations often contain information about the state of the
reactants: solid, liquid, gas, or aqueous. In addition, they always adhere to the law of conservation of mass,
which holds that matter can change form, but cannot be created or destroyed.
This means that the mass of a closed system of substances will remain constant, regardless of the
processes acting inside the system. In other words, for any chemical equation in a closed system, the mass of
the reactants must equal the mass of the products. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of
each element on each side of a chemical equation. A properly balanced chemical equation shows this.
Take a look at the equation for the chemical reaction that yields table salt (NaCl, sodium chloride) from sodium
metal and chlorine gas:
There are two chlorine atoms on the reactant’s side, which is indicated by the subscript 2 next to chlorine.
However, there is only one Cl atom on the product’s side because the ratio of Na to Cl is one to one.
Therefore, to balance this reaction, a coefficient will have to be added to the NaCl on the product’s side.
Never attempt to balance a reaction by changing the subscripts on a molecule. The subscripts indicate a very
specific molecule; changing the subscripts would indicate a new molecule (not the desired product).
Now, there are two chlorine atoms on each side of the reaction. However, now there is one sodium atom on
the reactant’s side and two sodium atoms on the product’s side. Therefore, add a 2 in front of the sodium on
the reactant’s side.
Now, there are two sodium atoms on both sides and two chlorine atoms on both sides. Therefore, the reaction
is balanced.
The law of conservation of mass applies in all chemical equations. This means that the number of atoms of
products present is conserved in the number of atoms of reactants.
A chemical equation describes a chemical reaction. It shows the formulas of the reactants and products and
mole ratios of these substances. It obeys the law of conservation of mass.
In writing a chemical equation, first classify the reaction as to type; then determine the product of the reaction;
and finally write the balanced expression which represents the chemical equation. The reactants and products
in an equation must contain the same number of each kind of atom.
A balanced chemical equation is used in calculating masses of substances that react or are formed in a
reaction
Chemical reactions are processes in which substances change into other substances.
Combination or synthesis reaction involves the reaction between two or more substances to form a single,
more complex compound.
Decomposition reaction involves the breakdown of a complex compound producing two or more simple
substances. This reaction usually takes place with the action of heat, light or electricity.
Substitution reaction involves the replacement of a less active element by a more active element in a
compound.
Double replacement reactions involve the exchange of ions by two compounds or reactants

Introduction
Good day students! Think of a title of a song that would best describe yourself, your mood and your
feelings today. Write your answer on the box provided.
B. MAIN LESSON
Chemical equations are symbolic representations of chemical reactions. The reacting materials (reactants)
are given on the left, and the products are displayed on the right, usually separated by an arrow showing the
direction of the reaction. The numerical coefficients next to each chemical entity denote the proportion of that
chemical entity before and after the reaction. The law of conservation of mass dictates that the quantity of each
element must remain unchanged in a chemical reaction. Therefore, in a balanced equation each side of the
chemical equation must have the same quantity of each element.
Chemical equations
A chemical equation shows what reactants are needed to make specific products. Reactions are
balanced by adding coefficients so that there are the same numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of
the reaction. So the left side of the equation, 2 H2 + O2, has four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms, as
does the right side of the equation, 2 H2O.
Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry is the field of chemistry that is concerned with the relative quantities of reactants and
products in chemical reactions. For any balanced chemical reaction, whole numbers (coefficients) are used to
show the quantities (generally in moles) of both the reactants and products. For example, when oxygen and
hydrogen react to produce water, one mole of oxygen reacts with two moles of hydrogen to produce two moles
of water.
In addition, stoichiometry can be used to find quantities such as the amount of products that can be produced
with a given amount of reactants and percent yield. Upcoming concepts will explain how to calculate the
amount of products that can be produced given certain information.
The relationship between the products and reactants in a balanced chemical equation is very important
in understanding the nature of the reaction. This relationship tells us what materials and how much of them are
needed for a reaction to proceed. Reaction stoichiometry describes the quantitative relationship among
substances as they participate in various chemical reactions.
Chemical equations do not only give the substances that combine and the new materials formed but also
provide much quantitative information.

Introduction
Good day students! This lesson section describes how a reactant may “limit” a chemical
reaction, meaning, how one reactant may determine how much of the other substance is used in
the reaction and how much of the product can be formed. It also discusses why the actual yield of
the product of a reaction may be less than expected.
Limiting Reactant
In a boy- girl pairing of 8 boys and 20 girls
B. MAIN LESSON
A limiting reagent is a chemical reactant that limits the amount of product that is formed. The limiting reagent
gives the smallest yield of product calculated from the reagents (reactants) available. This smallest
yield of product is called the theoretical yield.
The other reactant that is not completely consumed in the reaction is the excess reactant.
THEORETICAL YIELD The maximum amount of product which could be produced by the complete
reaction of the limiting reactant ACTUAL YIELD The actual yield is the amount of product formed from the
actual chemical reaction and is usually less than the theoretical yield.
PERCENT YIELD The percent yield is the percent of the product formed based upon the theoretical yield.

Introduction
Good day students! Today we are going to delve into the different properties of gases. At the
end of this module, you should be able to identify and describe the properties of gases and determine
the qualitatively and quantitatively the effect of changes in any one of the following properties of a gas
on the other properties: pressure, volume, temperature and number of moles. Are you excited?
B. MAIN LESSON
A. Properties– move randomly (elastic collisions, bounce when hit things like billiard balls, very fast, flow), can
be compressed(not attracted to each other, spread out as far as possible to fill space, no definite shape or
volume) Analogy: People on the field during the football game.
(a) A gas consist of very small particles; (b) The particles are in constant, random, straight- line motion; (c) The
molecules of a gas are very far from each other; (d) There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between
molecules; (e) Molecules collide with each other and with the walls of the container; (f) All collisions are
perfectly elastic
B. Temperature– the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object K = ºC + 273 (The
absolute temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its molecules)
C. Gas Pressure: Pressure is defined as force per unit area (P= F/A). SI unit of pressure is newton’s per
square meter (N/m2). This unit is also called pascal (Pa). Another unit of pressure is millimeters mercury
(mmHg). One millimeter mercury is also called torr. The standard temperature and pressure (STP) is the
condition where the temperature is 273 K and the pressure is 1 atm. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the
collisions of air (gas) molecules. A vacuum would be empty space with NO GAS molecules so no atmospheric
pressure. Outer Space increasing molecule number increases pressure, more collisions, if volume remains
constant. Decreasing volume will increase pressure, more collisions. Standard
Vapor Pressure is a gas collision in a sealed container, liquid going to gas, gas going to liquid, reaches
equilibrium when temperature remains constant, increase the temperature will increase the pressure in a
sealed container.
D. Gas Laws – simple mathematical relationships between volume, pressure, temperature, and amount of a
gas
1. Boyle’s Law –Pressure and volume are inversely proportional when mass and temperature are kept
constant. Formula: P1V1= P2V2
2. Charles’ Law–Temperature and volume are directly proportional when mass and pressure are kept constant.
Formula: V1 / T1= V2 / T2
Note: Temperature must be in Kelvin. Remember that average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the
Kelvin scale (x factor change). K = ºC + 273.
3. Gay-Lussac’s Law–Temperature & pressure are directly proportional if mass & volume are kept constant.
Formula: P1 / T1= P2 / T2
Note: Temperature must be in Kelvin. K = ºC + 273.
4. Avogadro’s Law- The volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the
amount of gas expressed in moles, n. Formula: V1/n1 = V2/n2
5. Combined Gas Law- describes the relationship among the pressure, volume and temperature of a constant
amount of gas. Formula: P1V1/ T1= P2V2/ T2
6. Ideal Gas Law is very simply expressed: PV=nRT from which simpler gas laws such as Boyle's, Charles's,
Avogadro's and Gay Lussac’ s law be derived. P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is
the amount of substance of gas (also known as number of moles), R is the ideal, or universal, gas constant
(0.0821 L • atm/ mol • K, equal to the product of the Boltzmann constant (1.38064852 × 10-23 m2 kg s-2 K-1) nd
the Avogadro constant, (6.02214086 × 1023 mol-1 ), T is the temperature of the gas.

atm?
3. Determine the new pressure when a constant volume of gas at 1.00 atm is heated from 20.0°C to 30.0°C
C. LESSON WRAP-UP
1. Explain what happens to the volume or size of a balloon as it rises in the air. Assume the temperature to
remain constant.
Answer: The gas inside the balloon is kept under pressure by the elasticity of the balloon and the pressure of
the atmosphere on the outer surface of the balloon. The pressure of the gas inside the balloon equals the sum
of these two pressures. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure on the balloon’s surface decreases,
reducing the total pressure on the gas inside. To balance this, the pressure of the gas inside will also reduce
by increasing the volume, so that the balloon gets larger which further increases the strain on the rubber walls
of the balloon. Eventually this will burst when its elastic limit is surpassed.
2. Explain why drivers are advised to decrease the pressure of their vehicle’s tires when they travel during hot
days.
Answer: The pressure inside the tire increases as the temperature increase. The temperature in the tire tends
to increase during travel and at the same time the pressure also increases. Drivers should decrease tire
pressure by letting out some of the gas inside the tire to prevent tire blow-outs as a result of increased
pressure.

Introduction
Hello students! How are you doing so far? Great! Today we are going learn about Quantum
Mechanical Model. Our goal for this day is to describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and
identify the number of sublevels, orbitals and electrons. Are you ready? Yes!
B. MAIN LESSON
Bohr’s model of atom introduced the concept of definite energy levels (or orbits) around the nucleus at
which electrons can be exactly located. But Scientists later found this model to be too simple and insufficient to
describe the more complex atoms. The development of a better model, Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom,
was led by 3 physicists: Louie de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Karl Heisenberg. De Broglie
proposed that electron can also be as wave. Schrodinger used this idea to develop an equation, called the
wave equation, to describe the hydrogen atom. Heisenberg discovered the uncertainty principle: for a particle
as small as the electron, one cannot know exactly where it is and at the same time know its energy or how it is
moving. The work of these scientists led to the model of the atom called quantum mechanical model or wave
mechanical model.
The quantum mechanical model of the atom allows us to visualize in our minds the three dimensional
regions of space around the nucleus of an atom in which there is a good probability of finding electrons. These
regions of space are called orbitals. The quantum mechanical model describes not only the region of space
where the electron is most likely to be found; it also provides information on the energy of the electron. The
shells are given numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, starting from the one with the least energy and also the one
closest to the nucleus. The number of sublevels in a main energy level is the same as the assigned number for
the main energy level. The sublevels are designated by letters: s, p, d, f, g. the number of orbitals differs in
each sublevel with s having the least. There can be two electrons in one orbital maximum. The s sublevel has
just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max.
The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons maximum.

1. {3, 2, 1, +1/2}
2. {2, 2, 0, −1/2}
3. {3, −1, 0, +1/2}
Solution
1. The principal quantum number n must be an integer, which it is here. The quantum number ℓ must be less
than n, which it is. The mℓ quantum number must be between −ℓ and ℓ, which it is. The spin quantum
number is +1/2, which is allowed. Because this set of quantum numbers follows all restrictions, it is
possible.
2. The quantum number n is an integer, but the quantum number ℓ must be less than n, which it is not. Thus,
this is not an allowed set of quantum numbers.
3. The principal quantum number n is an integer, but ℓ is not allowed to be negative. Therefore this is not an
allowed set of quantum numbers.

Introduction
Good day students! Another opportunity to learn and our topic for this day is all about writing electron
configuration of atoms specifically writing the ground- state electron configuration of an atom based on the
Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle and Hund’ s rule.
B. MAIN LESSON
The electron configuration of an atom describes how the electrons are distributed among the orbitals.
We shall be mainly concerned with the electron configuration in the ground state, the lowest energy state of the
atom. This arrangement of the electrons is the most stable (meaning, the lowest energy). To determine the
lowest energy arrangement of the electrons, we follow 3 rules:
Aufbau principle: This says that the electrons fill the orbitals, one at a time, starting with the lowest
energy orbital then proceeding to the one with higher energy. If an atom is excited, e.g., by being heated, one
or more of its electrons may temporarily be transferred to an orbital of higher energy, but it will soon return ti its
ground state.
It is therefore important that we know the relative energies of the orbitals. In general, the higher the
number of the main energy level, the higher the energy. Also, within a main energy level the energy increases
through s, p, d, f and so on. The relative energies of the sublevels are not a simple step ladder increase; there
are overlaps. For example the 3d orbitals have higher energy than the 4s orbital.
The n+l rule will help you identify which orbital has lower energy and is filled up first as atomic number,
and hence the number of electrons in a neutral atom increases. The lower the n+l the lower is the energy of
the orbital. If n+l values are equal, the one with the lower n value has the lower energy.
auli exclusion principle: This says that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of
four quantum numbers. The consequence of this principle can be stated simply as: Only two electrons may
occupy an orbital, and they must have different spins. As already mentioned, an electron can have either of the
two possible values of the spin quantum number.
Applying this rule, the maximum number any s sublevel (with only one orbital) can accommodate is two
electrons. Each p sublevel has three orbitals and can therefore accommodate six electrons at most. The
complete filling of the orbitals in the third main energy level is shown in the following diagram. Arrows pointing
in opposite directions designate the opposite spins of the electrons.
Hund’ s rule: In filling up a set of degenerate orbitals (e.g., the three 2p orbitals or the five 4d orbitals),
the orbitals are occupied by one electron at a time with the electrons having the same spin (this is also called
parallel spin in contrast to opposite spin).
Thus, if three electrons were placed in the 3d orbitals they would be distributed as follows:
Only when the degenerate orbitals have one electron each would double occupancy of the orbitals take
place. Thus if seven electrons were placed in the 3d orbitals, they would occupy the orbitals as follows:
Noble gas notation: An abbreviated form of the electronic configuration makes use of the
configuration of noble gases (Group 18). The electronic configuration of the carbon atom: C- 1s2 2s2 2p1 2p1
Note also that the electronic configuration of helium, the noble gas immediately preceding carbon: He- 1s2
Using the noble gas notation, the electronic configuration of the carbon atom is written as: C- [He] 2s2 2p1 2p1
The 1s2 electrons which correspond to the electrons of helium are represented by the symbol of helium
enclosed in brackets. These electrons are often referred to as the core electrons of the atom.
Some exceptional cases: The order of filling of the orbitals described earlier is not strictly followed. In
some cases, the observed ground state, electron configuration is different from the one predicted. There are
many of these cases among the transition and inner transition elements. Chromium and copper are examples.

Introduction
Good day students! Today we will be using your periodic table for this day activity. Our objective
is for you to identify different atom properties and write valence electron configuration. Are you ready?
Yes!
B. MAIN LESSON
The periodic table represents an ordering of the elements based not only on the number of protons but also
on the number of electrons. Quantum mechanics holds that the basis for the arrangement of the elements in
the periodic table is the electron arrangement in atoms. Since the original empirical basis of the periodic table
is the chemical properties of the elements, the electron arrangement in atoms must also be related to the
chemical behavior of the elements.
Valence electrons in s and p block elements are the electrons found in the outermost or highest main
energy level. For s and p blocks (the representative elements), the number of valence electrons is the right
digit of the group number; for the d block (the transition elements), the number of valence electrons equals the
group number; they are the electrons in the outermost main energy level and the electrons in the d orbitals of
the next inner main energy level.
For all the elements, the period number is the number of occupied energy levels or the n of the outermost
or highest occupied main energy level.
Elements with similar chemical properties have the same number of valence electrons. Because they have the
same number of valence electrons, they belong to the same group, or family.

B. MAIN LESSON
Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different
aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include:
ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the
arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's
properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective
group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.
The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical
distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of electrons.
The ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the outermost or highest energy, electron from a
neutral atom in the gas phase.
The electron affinity of an element is the energy given off when a neutral atom in the gas phase gains an
extra electron to form a negatively charged ion.
The metallic character of an element can be defined as how readily an atom can lose an electron.

From the following list, select the element that exhibits the lowest and highest ionization energy.
C. LESSON WRAP-UP
What trends in atomic radius do you see as you go down a group/family on the periodic table? What causes
this trend? Going down, atomic radius increases. This is attributed to the increasing pull of the nucleus on
the electrons in the outermost main energy level.
What trends in ionization energy do you see as you go down a group/family on the periodic table? What
causes this trend? Going down, ionization energy decreases. This is attributed to the increasing atomic
radius, the bigger the atom, the farther is the outermost electron from the nucleus, the less is the influence
of the nucleus on the electron and therefore the lower the ionization energy.
What trends in ionization energy do you see as you go across a period/row on the periodic table? Going across
a period, ionization energy increases. The increase is not regular but a general trend can be seen.
What trends in electron affinity do you see as you go down a group/family on the periodic table and why?
Going down, electron affinity is less negative. This is attributed to lower affinity; lesser tendency of the atom
to attract an additional electron.

PERFORMANCE TASK
Goal:
• The goal (within the scenario) is to create a magazine to teach the readers about the different life hacks
using concepts from the three major subjects in STEM (Physics, Biology & Chemistry)
Role:
• You are an Editor In Chief, Creative Director, Designers, and Picture editor, Copy Editor, Proofreaders,
Production Manager and Department Editors.
Audience:
• The target audience is the avid readers
Situation:
• You need to show the different life hacks using concepts that you’ve learned from the three major subjects in
STEM (Physics, Biology & Chemistry)
1. Section head
Publications are divided into sections, providing headings for sections allow readers to thumb through your
publication and find the information they want efficiently.
2. Headline
Arguably the most important element on any given page is the headline. Headlines should be distinctive, not
distracting and provide a starting point for readers.
3. Deck/Stand first/Intro/Kicker
Though the name of this element changes from publication to publication, it serves the purpose of bridging the
gap between the headline and body copy. In many cases this block of text is unnecessary or absent due to
space constraints, but in magazine features, an intro block is very common and should be used to provide a
path for your readers.
4. Byline
The placement of a byline varies from publication to publication (and often changes depending on the type of
article) it’s important that bylines be distinct from other copy so that credit can be given when the article is cited
or otherwise referenced by a third party.
5. Initial cap
This decorative text element has a longer history than the printing press. Grand examples of initial caps can be
found in illuminated manuscripts, like the Book of Kells, from the Middle Ages. Today’s initial or “drop” caps are
typically used to provide a clear point of entry for the reader.
6. Body text
The lion’s share of words on your pages appears as body text; this is where your choice of font makes a
difference to reader engagement. Setting your body copy on a standard grid with balanced columns is a great
way to foster reader engagement through readability.
7. Pull quote
Providing pull quotes or other “pull-out” devices in an article is a great way to create pace for readers. The
visual break created by increased space and larger type offers eyes a brief reset without providing a “visual
stop”.
8. Attribute
Some publications don’t attribute pull quotes for aesthetic reasons, but it is important to use a non-obtrusive
style when you do.
9. Folio
Without drawing attention to itself, the folio is one of the most recognizable pieces of a given magazine. It
should always contain the page number, often includes a date or issue number, and sometimes includes the
publication title and/or name of the section.
10. References
If you need to reference additional reading material or cite your sources, it’s important to do this in a consistent
format that doesn’t add clutter to your pages.
13. Credit
It’s important to provide credit to artists, photographers, and publishers whose content you use to illustrate your
publication.
A clear understanding of each page element’s function should bring you closer to realizing an optimal design
for your magazine

Introduction
Atoms gain or lose electrons through a chemical reaction to achieve a state of lower energy, the stable
electron arrangement of the noble gas atoms. Such a reaction results in a chemical bond, an attractive force
that holds atoms together in a compound. Chemical bonds are formed when atoms of elements are bound
together to form compounds. Chemical bonds are electrical in nature, formed by electrical attractions.
B. MAIN LESSON
Chemical bonding is a strong attractive force that holds opposite charged ions together or that binds atoms
together in molecule.
Ionic Bonding
The electrostatic attraction that holds together the oppositely charged ions (cations and anions) in a
solid compound is referred to as ionic bond. Few combinations of a metal and nonmetal will result in a fully
ionic bond. Most cases would be more correctly considered as having partial ionic character and partial
covalent character.Generally, ionic compounds are solids which have high melting and boiling points. In the
solid state, they do not conduct electricity. However, in the molten or liquid state and in aqueous solutions, they
are conductors of electricity.
An atom either loses or gains electrons to achieve the electron configuration of the noble gas nearest to
it. The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons until they are surrounded by eight
valence electrons.
The Lewis or electron dot structure indicates the number of valence electrons in the atom.
In writing the chemical formula of ionic compounds, write the formula of the cation first, followed by the formula
of the anion. The formula should indicate the smallest number of cation and anion units that should be
combined to give an overall charge of zero.
In naming ionic compounds, separate the formula of the cation from the anion, taking note of the charge of
each ion. Write the name of the cation first followed by the name of the anion with a space in between. When
the metal involved can form ions with different charges (e.g., copper I and copper II or gold I and gold III), the
charge on the ion must be quoted.

Covalent Bond
The combination of two nonmetals produces a compound with a covalent molecular structure.
Compounds consisting of molecules wherein atoms are joined by covalent bonds are known as covalent
molecular compounds.A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. Pairs of unshared
electrons are known as lone pairs or nonbonding pairs.
Bond length is the distance between the nuclei of the two bonded atoms.
To write the Lewis structures of covalent molecular compounds, determine first the total number of
valence electrons in the compound. Write the atoms in the order in which they are bonded to one another then
distribute the electrons in pairs, first between each pair of bonded atoms and then around each atom to
complete each of their octets. In naming binary molecular compounds, write the name of the leftmost element
in the chemical formula first. The second element should be given an – ide ending. Use the Greek prefixes to
indicate the number of atoms of each element.
The following are the exceptions to the octet rule: molecules with an odd number of electrons, molecules in
which an atom has less than an octet, and molecules in which an atom has more than an octet.

Introduction
B. MAIN LESSON
Chemical Formula
If the prefixes are used, then it is a covalent bond. In case there are no prefixes, it is an ionic bond. After that is
decided move to Step number 2.
Step 2: Now, write down the symbol of the polyatomic ion or the element.
Step 3: Now, if the prefix was used, you’ll have to add a subscript. You’ll also have to add a subscript in order to
balance the charge.
If either the cation or the anion was a polyatomic ion, the polyatomic ion name is used in the name of the
overall compound. The polyatomic ion name stays the same. For example, Ca(NO3)2 is called calcium nitrate.
For cations that take on multiple charges (typically transition metals), the charge is written using Roman
numerals in parentheses immediately following the element name. For example, Cu(NO3)2 is copper (II) nitrate,
because the charge of two nitrate ions (NO3−1) is 2\cdot(-1) = -2. Since the net charge of the ionic compound must
be zero, the Cu ion has a 2+ charge. This compound is therefore, copper (II) nitrate. The Roman numerals in fact
show the oxidation number, but in simple ionic compounds this will always be the same as the metal’s ionic
charge.
Common, or trivial, names of compounds are sometimes used in informal conversations between chemists,
especially older chemists. Systematic names are formal names that are always used in print.
Since some metallic elements form cations that have different positive charges, the names of ionic
compounds derived from these elements must contain some indication of the cation charge. The older method
uses the suffixes -ous and -ic to denote the lower and higher charges, respectively. In the cases of iron and
copper, the Latin names of the elements are used (ferrous/ferric, cuprous/cupric). This system is still used,
although it has been officially supplanted by the more precise, if slightly cumbersome, Stock system. In both
systems, the name of the anion ends in -ide.

Introduction
The electrons in a polar covalent bond are not equally shared by the bonded atoms while those
in a nonpolar covalent bond are equally shared. A molecule that has polar bonds is not necessarily a
polar molecule. A molecule is polar if the centers of positive and negative charge do not coincide or are
separate. A polar bond has a negative end labeled (δ−) read as partially negative and a positive end
labeled (δ+) read as partially positive. The polarity of the bond is sometimes indicated simply by an
arrow pointing towards the negative end of the bond.
B. MAIN LESSON
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons toward it; it is
used to determine the nature of a bond and the polarity of a covalent bond. Electron affinity, on the other hand,
is a measure of the change in energy when an electron attaches itself to a neutral atom to become a negatively
charged ion, or anion. The greater the electronegativity of an atom the stronger is its ability to attract shared
electrons. The difference in electronegativity between the atoms forming a bond gives an indication of the
polarity of the bond. The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar is the bond. Thus, the H-F
bond (ENF= 4.0 and ENH= 2.1) is more polar than the H- Cl bond (ENCl= 3.2). When the electronegativity
difference between two atoms is very large, the electrons may be so polarized by the big difference in the
attraction of the two atoms that instead of electron sharing and the formation of a covalent bond, a transfer of
electrons takes place and an ionic bond is formed.

Answer:
1. Polar bonds happen when two atoms form a molecule using a covalent bond. When the two atoms
share electrons, there is also a change of electron density. If the electrons are not shared equally, then
there will be a partial ionic charge. This happens most often in atoms with a large difference in their
electronegativity. This charge creates a polarity in the molecule, with one side being more positively
charged and the other side more negatively charged.
2. Non-polar molecules occur when the electron sharing during a covalent bond is equal. This will occur
among atoms that have similar electronegativity.

Introduction
Carbon is essential element of organic matter, and today, organic chemistry is defined as the
study of compounds in which carbon is the principal element, whether the compound was formed by
living things or not. The study of all other elements and compounds is called inorganic chemistry. An
inorganic compound is thus a compound in which carbon is the principal element, and an inorganic
compound is any other compound.
B. MAIN LESSON
The main concern of Organic Chemistry is to study the general characteristics of organic compounds
which include both physical and chemical behavior. Although basic principles of chemistry are applicable to
both organic and inorganic substances, there are striking differences that can be established between these
two compounds.
Since organic compounds contain the element carbon and their atoms are held together by covalent bonds,

Introduction
A hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting of only two elements. As the name implies,
these elements are hydrogen and carbon. The simplest hydrocarbon has one carbon atom and four
hydrogen atoms, but since carbon atoms can combine with one another, there are thousands of
possible structures and arrangements.
B. MAIN LESSON
1. Alkanes
Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2where n=1, 2, 3 and so on. Alkanes only have single
bonds. They are also known as saturated hydrocarbons because they contain the maximum number of
hydrogen atoms that can bond to the carbon atoms present; that is, they are saturated with hydrogen atoms. In
naming alkanes, the –ane suffix (ending) is used. The name of the parent compound is determined by the
number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. Examples are ethane, propane, butane.
For alkanes, the number of isomers increases as the number of carbon atoms increases. While butane
has only 2 isomers, decane has 75 isomers and the alkane C30H62 has over 400 million possible isomers.
While many of these do not exist in nature, this illustrates how carbon forms more compounds than any other
element.
Alkanes whose carbon atoms are joined in rings are called cycloalkanes. They have the general
formula CnH2n. The simplest cycloalkane is cyclopropane.
2. Alkenes
Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. They are also called
olefins. Their formula is CnH2nwhere n = 2, 3 and so on. Alkenes are classified as unsaturated hydrocarbons
as opposed to the alkanes which are saturated hydrocarbons. In naming alkenes, the – ene suffix (ending) is
used. The name of the parent compound is determined by the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain.
Examples are ethene, propene, butene. Note that in butene, there are two molecules: one with the double
bond in the first carbon, and the other with the double bond in the second carbon. The numbers in the names
refer to the lowest numbered carbon atoms in the chain that is part of the CC double bond.
3. Alkynes
Alkynes contain at least one CC triple bond. They have the general formula CnH2n-2 where n = 2, 3,…
In naming alkenes, the –yne suffix (ending) is used. The name of the parent compound is determined by the
number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. Like the alkenes, the names of alkynes indicate the position of
the carbon-carbon triple bond. Examples are ethyne, propyne, butyne.
4. Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of hydrocarbons whose molecules contain a ring of six carbon atoms
(benzyl ring) attached.Its simplest member is benzene, C6H6

Structural isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different molecular structures.
To generate a complete list of isomers for a particular molecular formula, a systematic approach is useful. If
the compound is part of a series or family of related compounds (as your examples are) it's useful to start with
a simpler compound in the series and add to it. Be careful to recognize and discard isomers that may appear
different but are actually identical.
Pentane is C5H12. Starting with the two isomers of butane, you can generate all possible isomers by
attaching a carbon atom at every unique position.

Introduction
The chemical processes regulated by living organisms begin with relatively small organic
molecules and water. The organism uses energy and matter from the surroundings to build large
molecules. A macromolecule is a very large molecule that is a combination of many smaller, similar
molecules joined together in a chainlike structure. Macromolecules have molecular weights of
thousands or millions of atomic mass units.
B. MAIN LESSON
A compound found mainly in living things is known as an organic compound. Organic compounds
makeup the cells and other structures of organisms and carry out life processes. Carbon is the main element
inorganic compounds, so carbon is essential to life on Earth. Without carbon, life as we know it could not exist.
Why is carbon so basic to life? The reason is carbon’s ability to form stable bonds with many elements,
including it. This property allows carbon to form a huge variety of very large and complex molecules. In fact,
there are nearly 10 million carbon-based compounds in living things! However, the millions of organic
compounds can be grouped into just four major types: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. You
can compare the four types in Table below. Each type is also described below.
Carbohydrates are the most common type of organic compound. A carbohydrate is an organic
compound such as sugar or starch, and is used to store energy. Like most organic compounds,
carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule.
In the case of carbohydrates, the small, repeating units are called monosaccharides.
A lipid is an organic compound such as fat or oil. Organisms use lipids to store energy, but lipids
have other important roles as well. Lipids consist of repeating units called fatty acids. There are two types of
fatty acids: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids.
A protein is an organic compound made up of small molecules called amino acids. There are 20
different amino acids commonly found in the proteins of living things. Small proteins may contain just a few
hundred amino acids, whereas large proteins may contain thousands of amino acids.
A nucleic acid is an organic compound, such as DNA or RNA that is built of small units called
nucleotides. Many nucleotides bind together to form a chain called a polynucleotide. The nucleic acid DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two polynucleotide chains. The nucleic acid RNA (ribonucleic acid)
consists of just one polynucleotide chain.
