CHEMICAL EQUATIONS AND REACTIONS

Common Formulas (MEMORIZE)

Free Elements often exist as single atoms

(examples: Ag, Cu, C, S, etc)

• are written as such in equations

C + O2 CO2

2 Ag + 2 HNO3 2 AgNO3 + H2

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS AND REACTIONS

Common Formulas (MEMORIZE)

Noble Gases always exist in free state as monatomic molecules (and almost never react)

(He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn)

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS AND REACTIONS

TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

Common Formulas (MEMORIZE)

Eight elements exist as DIATOMIC MOLECUES in the free state

• gases at room temperature: N2, O2, H2, F2, Cl2

• liquid (@ r.t.): Br2

• solid (@ r.t.): I2 & At2

• written as such in equations

– Br2 + 2KI 2KBr + I2

– S + O2 SO2

CHEMICAL EQUATIONS AND REACTIONS

ACTIVITY SERIES OF THE ELEMENTS• A list of elements organized according to the

ease with which the elements undergo certain chemical reactions.

• Determined by the single replacement reaction

• Describes reactivity and ability to replace an ion in a compound
