Chemical formula.
Everyone has it substances there is a name. However, by its name it is impossible to determine what particles a substance consists of, how many and what kind of atoms are contained in its molecules, ions, and what charges the ions have. The answers to such questions are given by a special record - a chemical formula.
A chemical formula is the designation of an atom, molecule, ion or substance using symbols chemical elements and indexes.
The chemical formula of an atom is the symbol of the corresponding element. For example, the Aluminum atom is designated by the symbol Al, the Silicon atom by the symbol Si. Simple substances also have such formulas - the metal aluminum, the non-metal of atomic structure silicon.
Chemical formula molecules of a simple substance contains the symbol of the corresponding element and the subscript - a small number written below and to the right. The index indicates the number of atoms in the molecule.
An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen atoms. Its chemical formula is O 2. This formula is read by first pronouncing the symbol of the element, then the index: “o-two”. The formula O2 denotes not only the molecule, but also the substance oxygen itself.
The O2 molecule is called diatomic. The simple substances Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Fluor, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine consist of similar molecules (their general formula is E 2).
Ozone contains three-atomic molecules, white phosphorus contains four-atomic molecules, and sulfur contains eight-atomic molecules. (Write the chemical formulas of these molecules.)
H 2
O2
N 2
Cl2
BR 2
I 2
In the formula of a molecule of a complex substance, the symbols of the elements whose atoms are contained in it, as well as indices, are written down. A carbon dioxide molecule consists of three atoms: one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Its chemical formula is CO 2 (read “tse-o-two”). Remember: if a molecule contains one atom of any element, then the corresponding index, i.e. I, is not written in the chemical formula. The formula of a carbon dioxide molecule is also the formula of the substance itself.
In the formula of an ion, its charge is additionally written down. To do this, use a superscript. It indicates the amount of charge with a number (they do not write one), and then a sign (plus or minus). For example, a Sodium ion with a charge +1 has the formula Na + (read “sodium-plus”), a Chlorine ion with a charge - I - SG - (“chlorine-minus”), a hydroxide ion with a charge - I - OH - (“ o-ash-minus"), a carbonate ion with a charge -2 - CO 2- 3 (“ce-o-three-two-minus”).

OH - , CO 2- 3
complex ions
In the formulas of ionic compounds, first write down, without indicating charges, positively charged ions, and then - negatively charged (Table 2). If the formula is correct, then the sum of the charges of all ions in it is zero.
table 2
Formulas of some ionic compounds
In some chemical formulas, a group of atoms or a complex ion is written in parentheses. As an example, let's take the formula of slaked lime Ca(OH) 2. This is an ionic compound. In it, for every Ca 2+ ion there are two OH - ions. The formula of the compound reads " calcium-o-ash-twice”, but not “calcium-o-ash-two”.
Sometimes in chemical formulas, instead of symbols of elements, “foreign” letters, as well as index letters, are written. Such formulas are often called general. Examples of formulas of this type: ECI n, E n O m, F x O y. First
the formula denotes a group of compounds of elements with Chlorine, the second - a group of compounds of elements with Oxygen, and the third is used if the chemical formula of a compound of Ferrum with Oxygen unknown and
it should be installed.
If you need to designate two separate Neon atoms, two oxygen molecules, two carbon dioxide molecules or two Sodium ions, use the notations 2Ne, 20 2, 2C0 2, 2Na +. The number in front of the chemical formula is called the coefficient. Coefficient I, like index I, is not written.
Formula unit.
What does the notation 2NaCl mean? NaCl molecules do not exist; table salt is an ionic compound that consists of Na + and Cl - ions. A pair of these ions is called the formula unit of a substance (it is highlighted in Fig. 44, a). Thus, the notation 2NaCl represents two formula units of table salt, i.e., two pairs of Na + and C l- ions.
The term “formula unit” is used for complex substances not only of ionic but also of atomic structure. For example, the formula unit for quartz SiO 2 is the combination of one Silicium atom and two Oxygen atoms (Fig. 44, b).
Rice. 44. formula units in compounds of ionic (a) atomic structure (b)
A formula unit is the smallest “building block” of a substance, its smallest repeating fragment. This fragment can be an atom (in a simple substance), molecule(in a simple or complex substance),
a collection of atoms or ions (in a complex substance).
Exercise. Draw up the chemical formula of a compound that contains Li + i SO 2- 4 ions. Name the formula unit of this substance.
Solution
In an ionic compound, the sum of the charges of all ions is zero. This is possible provided that for each SO 2- 4 ion there are two Li + ions. Hence the formula of the compound is Li 2 SO 4.
The formula unit of a substance is three ions: two Li + ions and one SO 2- 4 ion.
Qualitative and quantitative composition of a substance.
A chemical formula contains information about the composition of a particle or substance. When characterizing the qualitative composition, they name the elements that form a particle or substance, and when characterizing the quantitative composition, they indicate:
The number of atoms of each element in a molecule or complex ion;
the ratio of atoms of different elements or ions in a substance.
Exercise. Describe the composition of methane CH 4 (molecular compound) and soda ash Na 2 CO 3 (ionic compound)
Solution
Methane is formed by the elements Carbon and Hydrogen (this is a qualitative composition). A methane molecule contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms; their ratio in the molecule and in the substance
N(C): N(H) = 1:4 (quantitative composition).
(The letter N denotes the number of particles - atoms, molecules, ions.
Soda ash is formed by three elements - Sodium, Carbon and Oxygen. It contains positively charged Na + ions, since Sodium is a metallic element, and negatively charged CO -2 3 ions (qualitative composition).
The ratio of atoms of elements and ions in a substance is as follows:
conclusions
A chemical formula is a recording of an atom, molecule, ion, substance using symbols of chemical elements and indices. The number of atoms of each element is indicated in the formula using a subscript, and the charge of the ion is indicated by a superscript.
Formula unit is a particle or collection of particles of a substance represented by its chemical formula.
The chemical formula reflects the qualitative and quantitative composition of a particle or substance.

§ 1.5. Simple and complex substances. Allotropy.
Chemical compounds and mixtures
All substances are divided into simple and complex.
Simple substances are substances that consist of atoms of one element.
In some simple substances, atoms of one element
combine with each other to form molecules. Such simple substances have molecular structure. These include
are: hydrogen H2, oxygen O2, nitrogen N2, fluorine F2, chlorine Cl2, bromine Br2, iodine I2. All these substances consist of diatomic
molecules (Please note that the names of simple substances
match the names of the elements!)
Other simple substances have atomic structure, i.e., they consist of atoms between which there are certain bonds (we will consider their nature in the section “Chemical bonds and structure of matter”). Examples of such simple substances are all metals (iron Fe, copper Cu, sodium Na, etc.) and some non-metals (carbon C, silicon Si, etc.). Not only the names, but also the formulas of these simple substances coincide with the symbols of the elements.
There is also a group of simple substances called noble gases. These include: helium He,
neon Ne, argon Ar, krypton Kr, xenon Xe, radon Rn. These simple substances consist of atoms not chemically bonded to each other.
Each element forms at least one simple substance. Some elements can form more than one,
but two or more simple substances. This phenomenon is called allotropy.
Allotropy is the phenomenon of the formation of several simple substances by one element.
Different simple substances that are formed by the same chemical element are called allotropic
modifications (modifications).
Allotropic modifications may differ from each other composition of molecules. For example, the element oxygen forms
two simple substances. One of them consists of diatomic O2 molecules and has the same name as the element - oxygen. Another simple substance consists of triatomic O3 molecules and has its own name - ozone:
Oxygen O2 and ozone O3 have different physical and chemical properties.
Allotropes can be solids that have different structure of the crystal
tallow An example is allotropic modifications carbon C - diamond and graphite.
The number of known simple substances (approximately 400) is significantly greater than the number of chemical elements, since many elements can form two or more allotropic modifications.
Complex substances are substances that consist of atoms of different elements.
Examples of complex substances: HCI, H 2 O, NaCl, CO 2,
H2 SO4, Cu(NO3)2, C6 H12 O6, etc.
Complex substances are often called chemical compounds. In chemical compounds, the properties of the simple substances from which these compounds are formed are not preserved.
are. The properties of a complex substance differ from the properties of the simple substances from which it is formed.
For example, sodium chloride NaCl can be formed from simple substances - sodium metal Na And chlorine gas Cl 2. The physical and chemical properties of NaCI differ from the properties of Na and Cl 2.
IN In nature, as a rule, non-pure substances are found,
and mixtures of substances. In practical activities we also
We usually use mixtures of substances. Any mixture consists of
two or more substances called com-
components of the mixture.
For example, air is a mixture of several gaseous substances: oxygen O 2 (21% by volume), nitrogen N 2 (78%), carbon dioxide CO 2, etc. Mixtures are dis-
solutions of many substances, alloys of some metals, etc. Mixtures of substances can be homogeneous (uniform) and he-
terogenic (heterogeneous).
Homogeneous mixtures are mixtures in which there is no interface between the components.
Mixtures of gases (in particular, air) and liquid solutions (for example, a solution of sugar in water) are homogeneous.
Heterogeneous mixtures are mixtures in which the components are separated by an interface.
TO heterogeneous includemixtures of solids(sand +
Chalk powder), mixtures of liquids insoluble in each other (water + oil), mixtures of liquids and solids insoluble in them (water + chalk).
Liquid solutions, which are the most important representatives of homogeneous systems, we will study in detail in our course.
The most important differences between mixtures and chemical compounds:
1. In mixtures, the properties of individual substances (components)
are saved.
2. The composition of mixtures is not constant.

§ 1.6. Valence of elements. Graphic formulas of substances
Let's consider the chemical formulas of some compounds
As can be seen from these examples, the atoms of the elements chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon not any, but only a certain number of hydrogen atoms are added (1, 2, 3, 4 atoms, respectively).
Between atoms in chemical compounds there are chemical bonds. Let us write formulas in which each chi-
a mic connection is indicated by a dash:
Such formulas are called graphic.
Graphic formulas of substances - these are formulas that show the order of connection of atoms in molecules and the number of bonds that each atom forms.
The number of chemical bonds that one atom of a given element forms in a given molecule is called the valence of the element.
Valency is usually indicated by Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII.
In all the molecules under consideration, each hydrogen atom forms one bond: therefore, the valence of hydrogen is equal to one (I).
The chlorine atom in the HCl molecule forms one bond, its valency in this molecule is equal to I. The oxygen atom in the H2 O molecule forms two bonds, its valence is equal to II. Valence
nitrogen in NH3 is III, and the valency of carbon in CH4 is IV. Some items have constant valence.
Elements with constant valency are elements that in all connections exhibit the same valence
Elements with constant valency I are: hydrogen H, fluorine F , alkali metals: lithium Li, sodium Na,
potassium K, rubidium Rb, cesium Cs.
The atoms of these monovalent elements always form
only one chemical bond.
Elements with constant valency II:
oxygen O, magnesium Mg, calcium Ca, strontium Sr, barium Ba, zinc Zn.
The element with constant valency III is aluminum Al.
Most items have variable valence.
Variable valency elements are elements that can have different valency values in different compounds*.
Consequently, the atoms of these elements in different compounds can form different numbers of chemical bonds (Table 4).
* We will consider the physical meaning of valence, the reasons for the existence of elements with constant and variable valence after studying the theory of atomic structure.
Table 4
The most typical valence values of some elements
Elements |
The most characteristic |

II, III, IV, VI, VII |
|
To determine the valency of such elements in any given compound, you can use the valence rule
ribbon.
According to this rule, in most binary compounds of type A m B n, the product of the valence of element A (x) by the number of its atoms (t) is equal to the product of the valence of element
ta B (y) by the number of its atoms (n):
x · t = y · n * .
Let us determine, for example, the valency of phosphorus in the following compounds:
x I |
x" II |
PH3 |
P2 O5 |
Valence of hydrogen |
Oxygen valency |
is constant and equal to I |
is constant and equal to II |
x 1 = 1 3 |
x" 2 = 2 5 |
x = 3 |
x" = 5 |
PH3 |
P2 O5 |
Phosphorus in PH3 is |
Phosphorus in P2 O5 is |
trivalent |
pentavalent |

* The valence rule does not apply to binary compounds, in which atoms of the same element are directly bonded to each other. For example, the valency rule does not obey the first
hydrogen oxide H2 O2, since in its molecule there is a bond between oxygen atoms: H-O-O-H.
Using the valency rule, you can make up formulas binary compounds, i.e. determine the indices in these formulas.
Let's create, for example, the formula for the compound aluminum with oxygen. Al and O have constant valency values, co-
responsible III and II:
The least common multiple (LCD) of the numbers 3 and 2 is 6. Divide the LCM by the valence of Al:
6: 3 = 2 and for valence O: 6: 2 = 3
These numbers are equal to the indices of the corresponding symbols
elements in the compound formula:
Al2 O3
Let's look at two more examples.
Create formulas for compounds that consist of:
note that in most binary compounds
In general, atoms of the same element do not combine directly with each other.
Let's write graphic formulas for all the compounds that we considered in this paragraph:
Compare the number of dashes for each element with its valence, which is indicated in the text of the paragraph.

§ 1.7. Mol. Molar mass
The mass of a substance is expressed in kg, g or other units
The unit of quantity of a substance is the mole.
Most substances are made up of molecules or atoms.
A mole is the amount of a substance that contains as many molecules (atoms) of that substance as there are atoms in 12 g (0.012 kg) of carbon C.
Let's determine the number of C atoms in 12 g of carbon. To do this, divide 0.012 kg by the absolute mass of the carbon atom m a (C) (see § 1.3):
0.012 kg/19.93 10–27 kg ≈ 6.02 1023.
From the definition of the concept “mole” it follows that this number
equal to the number of molecules (atoms) in one mole of any substance. It is called Avogadro's number and is denoted by the symbol
ox N A:
(Note that Avogadro's number is a very large number!)
If a substance consists of molecules, then 1 mole is 6.02 × 1023 molecules of this substance.
For example: 1 mole of hydrogen H2 is 6.02 · 1023 molecules of H2; 1 mole of water H2O is 6.02 · 1023 molecules of H2O;
1 mole of glucose C6 H12 O6 is 6.02 1023
molecules C6 H12 O6.
If a substance consists of atoms, then 1 mole is 6.02 x 1023 atoms of this substance.
For example: 1 mole of iron Fe is 6.02 1023 Fe atoms;
1 mole of sulfur S is 6.02 1023 atoms of S. Therefore:
1 mole of any substance contains the Avogadro number of particles that make up this substance, i.e. approximately 6.02 × 1023 molecules or atoms.
The amount of a substance (i.e., the number of moles) is denoted by the Latin letter p (or the Greek letter v). Any given number of molecules (atoms) is denoted by the letter N.
The amount of substance n is equal to the ratio of a given number of molecules (atoms) N to the number of molecules (atoms) in 1 mole NA.
Let's consider the qualitative and quantitative composition of substances. Let us determine its features for compounds of organic and inorganic origin.
What does the qualitative composition of a substance show?
It demonstrates the types of atoms that are present in the molecule being analyzed. For example, water is formed by hydrogen and oxygen.
The molecule includes sodium and oxygen atoms. Sulfuric acid contains hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
What does the quantitative composition show?
It demonstrates the quantitative content of each element within a complex substance.
For example, water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Sulfuric acid consists of two hydrogens, one sulfur atom, four oxygens.
It contains three hydrogen atoms, one phosphorus, and four oxygen atoms.
Organic substances also have a qualitative and quantitative composition of substances. For example, methane contains one carbon and four hydrogens.
Methods for determining the composition of a substance
The qualitative and quantitative composition of substances can be determined chemically. For example, when a molecule of a complex compound decomposes, several molecules with a simpler composition are formed. So, when heating calcium carbonate, consisting of calcium, carbon, four oxygen atoms, you can get two and carbon.
And the compounds formed during chemical decomposition can have different qualitative and quantitative composition of substances.
Simple and complex compounds can be of molecular as well as non-molecular composition.
The first group is in different states of aggregation. For example, sugar is a solid, water is a liquid, and oxygen is a gas.
Compounds of non-molecular structure are found in solid form under standard conditions. These include salts. When heated, they melt and change from a solid to a liquid state.
Examples of composition determination
“Describe the qualitative and quantitative composition of the following substances: sulfur oxide (4), sulfur oxide (6).” This task is typical in a school course in inorganic chemistry. In order to cope with it, you first need to create formulas for the proposed compounds, using valences or oxidation states.
Both proposed oxides contain the same chemical elements, therefore, their qualitative composition is the same. They include sulfur and oxygen atoms. But in quantitative terms, the results will differ.
The first compound contains two oxygen atoms, and the second has six.
Let's complete the following task: “Describe the qualitative and quantitative composition of H2S substances.”
A hydrogen sulfide molecule consists of a sulfur atom and two hydrogens. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the H2S substance allows one to predict its chemical properties. Since the composition contains a hydrogen cation, hydrogen sulfide is capable of exhibiting oxidizing properties. For example, similar characteristics manifest themselves in interaction with an active metal.
Information about the qualitative and quantitative composition of a substance is also relevant for organic compounds. For example, knowing the quantitative content of components in a hydrocarbon molecule, you can determine whether it belongs to a certain class of substances.
Such information allows one to predict the chemical and physical characteristics of the analyzed hydrocarbon and identify its specific properties.
For example, knowing that the composition contains four carbon atoms and ten hydrogens, we can conclude that this substance belongs to the class of saturated (saturated) hydrocarbons with the general formula SpH2n+2. All representatives of this homologous series are characterized by a radical mechanism, as well as oxidation by atmospheric oxygen.
Conclusion
Any inorganic and organic substance has a certain quantitative and qualitative composition. Information is necessary to establish the physical and chemical properties of the analyzed inorganic compound, and for organic substances, the composition allows one to establish class membership and identify characteristic and specific chemical properties.
During the lesson, you will learn about the qualitative and quantitative compositions of organic substances, what the simplest, molecular, structural formula is.
One simple formula can correspond to many molecular formulas.
A formula that shows the order of connection of atoms in a molecule is called a structural formula.
Hexene and cyclohexane have the same molecular formulas C 6 H 12, but they are two different substances with different physical and chemical properties. See table. 1.
Table 1. Difference in properties of hexene and cyclohexane
To characterize an organic substance, it is necessary to know not only the composition of the molecule, but also the order of arrangement of atoms in the molecule - the structure of the molecule.
The structure of substances is reflected by structural (graphical) formulas, in which covalent bonds between atoms are indicated by dashes - valence strokes.
In organic compounds, carbon forms four bonds, hydrogen forms one, oxygen forms two, and nitrogen forms three.
Valence. The number of covalent non-polar or polar bonds that an element can form is called valency
A bond formed by one pair of electrons is called simple or single communication
A bond formed by two pairs of electrons is called double connection, it is denoted by two dashes, like the “equal” sign. Three electron pairs form triple connection, which is indicated by three dashes. See table. 2.

Table 2. Examples of organic substances with different bonds
In practice it is usually used abbreviated structural formulas, in which the bonds of carbon, oxygen and other atoms with hydrogen are not indicated:
Rice. 1. Volumetric model of an ethanol molecule
Structural formulas convey the order in which atoms are connected to each other, but do not convey the arrangement of atoms in space. Structural formulas are a two-dimensional drawing, but molecules are three-dimensional, i.e. are volumetric, this is shown in the example of ethanol in Fig. 1.
The lesson covered the issue of qualitative and quantitative compositions of organic substances, what the simplest, molecular, structural formula is.
