Chemical reaction and equations

Introduction of periodic table

  • Total number of elements in periodic table are 118
  • 18 groups in periodic table.
  • 7 periods in periodic table.
  • 18thgroup called noble or inert gas family.
  • 17th group is called halogen family.
  • 14th group is called carbon family.
  • First group is called alkali metal group.
  • Second group is called alkali earth metal group.
  • d block elements of periodic table are also called transitional element that have more than one valency Such as Cu+ & Cu2+, Fe2+& Fe3+

Some extra valency

  • Ag +1= silver
  • Ca2+= Calcium
  • Br+1 = Bromine
  • Ba2+= Barium
  • Cl-1= Chlorine
  • SO42- =Sulphate
  • CO32- = Carbonate
  • NO3-1 = Nitrate
  • OH-1 = Hydroxide
  • Cu2+ = Copper cupric
  • Pb2+ = lead
  • NH4+1 = Ammonium
  • Cu+1  = Cuprous copper
  • PO43- = Phosphate
  • NO2-1= Nitrite
  • N3- = Nitride
  • Zn2+= Zinc
  • K+ = Potassium
  • Hg2+= Mercurous mercury
  • Sr2+= Strontium
  • CaO= Quick lime
  • CaCO3= lime stone
  • Ca(OH)2 = Slaked lime

Colour of some compound

  • CuO = Copper oxide = black
  • Cu  = Copper = red brown
  • PbI2 = lead iodide = yellow ppt
  • Al(OH)3 = Aluminum hydroxide = white ppt
  • CuS = Copper Sulphate = black ppt
  • BaSO4 = Barium Sulphate = white ppt
  • AgCl= silver chloride = white ppt
  • CuNO3 = copper nitrate = blue solution
  • AgNO3 = Silver nitrate  = Colorless
  • CuCl2 = copper chloride = green Colour
  • ZnSO4 = Zinc Sulphate = colorless
  • FeSO4 = Ferrous Sulphate = green solution
  • CuSO4 = Copper Sulphate = blue solution
  • AgCl = Silver chloride = white
  • Ag = silver = grey
  • PbO  = lead oxide = yellow Colour
  • Fe2O3 = Ferric oxide = brown Colour
  • NO2 = nitrogen dioxide = brown fumes
  • CaCO3 = calcium carbonate = white 

CHEMICAL REACTIONS

The process in which new substance are formed due to rearrangement of atoms between reactants

  • The substance which take part in a chemical reaction are called reactants
  • The new substances which produced as result of chemical reaction are called as  products

Example:   N2 + O2 produce NO                                                                                                                     KClO3        MnO2      KCl + O2

Magnesium is silvery white metal mg metals is available in a science laboratory in the form of magnesium ribbon or say magnesium wire. When a magnesium ribbon is heated it burns in air with a dazzling white flame to form a white powder called as magnesium powder MgO on heating magnesium combine with oxygen present in air to form MgO.

Mg + O2                     MgO Magnesium ribbon which we use has a coating of magnesium carbonate possibly of oxide on its surface that is formed by slow action of moist air on it so before burning magnesium ribbon is cleaned by rubbing with a send paper to remove carbonate layer from its surface

Characteristics of chemical reactions
