Electron Configuration Diagram

The Aufbau Principle - Electronic Structure and the Aufbau Principle

Stable atoms have as many electrons as they do protons in the nucleus. The electrons gather around the nucleus in quantum orbitals following four basic rules called the aufbau principle.

**no two electrons in the atom will share the same four quantum numbers n, l, m, and s.
**electrons will first occupy orbitals of the lowest energy level.
**electrons will fill an orbital with the same spin number until the orbital is filled before it will begin to fill of the opposite spin number.
**electrons will fill orbitals by the sum of the quantum numbers n and l. Orbitals with equal values of (n+l) will fill with the lower n values first.

The second and fourth rules are basically the same. The graphic shows the relative energy levels of the different orbitals. An example of rule four would be the 2p and 3s orbitals. A 2p orbital is n=2 and l=2 and a 3s orbital is n=3 and l=1. (n+l) = 4 in both cases, but the 2p orbital has the lower energy or lower n value and will get filled before the 3s shell.

The electron configuration of an atom denotes the distribution of electrons among available shells. The standard notation lists the subshell symbols, one after another. The number of electrons contained in each subshell is stated explicitly. For example, the electron configuration of beryllium, with an atomic (and electron) number of 4, is 1s22s2 or [He]2s2.

Electron Dot Configurations

http://www.uoregon.edu/~ch111/L12.htm

Contructing Lewis Dot StructuresStarting with a structure indicating only atom connections (single bonds), you can practice constructing a Lewis dot structure. Just click on the atom or bond you wish to modify. Nonzero formal charges are indicated for each atom in the structure once the total number of electrons is correct.
A recommended procedure might be:

Count the total number of valence electrons (N) needed to account for the atoms (based on the column of the atom in the periodic table) and charge (add one electrons for each negative charge; subtract one electron for each positive charge).
Draw the framework with single bonds. Some knowledge of the way the atoms are connected may be required.
Using lone pairs, complete octets around the noncentral atoms.
Count the number of electrons depicted (two for each bond and two for each lone pair). If this number is less than N, then add electrons to the central atom until the total number of electrons depicted is N.
If the octet rule is not satisfied for the central atom and lone-pair electrons are nearby, use those electrons to make double or triple bonds to the central atom.
Check each atom to see if it has a formal charge. (Singly bonded oxygen will require a negative charge, for example.)

Lecture: Reactions and Equations

Reaction Equations

Key terms

Energy, exothermic reaction, endothermic reactionPhysical reactions, chemical reactions, phase transitionsReactants, productsReaction stoichiometry

Skills to develop
To distinguish chemical changes from physical changes.
To write chemical equations to describe a chemical reaction.
To balance chemical equations.
To calculate the quantities of reactants required or the quantities produced in a chemical reaction.

Chemical Reaction Equations

Changes in a material or system are called reactions, and they are divided into chemical and physical reactions.
Energy is the driving force of all changes, both physical and chemical reactions. Energy is always involved in these reactions. If a system is more stable by losing some energy, a reaction takes place, releasing energy. Such a reaction is said to be exothermic. Supplying energy to a system also causes a reaction. Energy absorbing reactions are called endothermic reactions. Sometimes, the amount of energy involved in a reaction may be so small that the change in energy is not readily noticeable.

An equation can be used to describe a physical reaction, which involves a change of states. For example, melting, sublimation, evaporation, and condensation can be represented as follow.

In these equations, (s) stands for solid, (l) for liquid (l), and (g) for gas,

H2O(s) ® H2O(l) . . . melting
H2O(s) ® H2O(g) . . . sublimation
C2H5OH(l) ® C2H5OH(g) . . . evaporation
NH3(g) ® NH3(l) . . . condensationIn these changes, no chemical bonds are broken or formed, and the molecular identities of the substances have not changed.

Is the phase transition between graphite and diamond is a chemical or physical reaction?
C(graphite) ® C(diamond).

The crystal structures of diamond and graphite are very different, and bonding between the carbon atoms are also different in the two solid states. Because chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, the phase transition of diamond and graphite is a chemical reaction.
Chemicals or substances change converting to one or more other substances, and these changes are called chemical reactions. At the molecular level, atoms or groups of atoms rearrange resulting in breaking and forming some chemical bonds in a chemical reaction. The substances undergoing changes are called reactants, whereas substances newly formed are called products. Physical appearances of products are often different from reactants. Chemical reactions are often accompanied by the appearance of gas, fire, precipitate, color, light, sound, or odor.

These phenomena are related to energy and properties of the reactants and products. For example, the oxidation of propane releases heat and light, and a rapid reaction is an explosion,
C3H8 + 5 O2 ® 3 CO2 + 4 H2O A balanced equation also shows a macroscopic quantitative relationship. This balanced reaction equation shows that five moles of oxygen reacts with one mole of propane generating three moles of carbon dioxide and four moles of water, a total of 7 moles of products in the combustion reaction.

At the molecular level, this equation shows that for each propane molecule, 5 oxygen molecules are required. The three carbon atoms are converted to three molecules of carbon dioxide, whereas the 8 hydrogen atoms in propane are oxidized to 4 water molecules. The numbers of H, C, and O atoms are the same on both sides of the equation.

We study properties of substances so that we know how to make use of them. Tendencies of a substance to react, either by itself or with others, are important chemical properties. Via properties, we understand chemical reactions, which are best studied by experimentation and observation. After you have performed many experiments, you may generalize certain rules and facts. Knowing these rules and facts enable you to solve problems that you have not yet encountered.

The most important aspect of a chemical reaction is to know what are the reactants and what are the products. For this, the best description of a reaction is to write an equation for the reaction. A chemical reaction equation gives the reactants and products, and a balanced chemical reaction equation shows the mole relationships of reactants and products. Often, the amount of energy involved in the reaction is given. Dealing with the quantitative aspect of chemical reactions is called reaction stoichiometry.

For example, when clamshells, CaCO3, are heated, a gas CO2 will be released, leaving a white powder (solid CaO) behind. This reaction is represented by the reaction as depicted in the picture, and the equation of the reaction is written as:
CaCO3 ® CaO + CO2The equation indicates that one mole of CaCO3 gives one mole each of CaO and CO2. Amounts of substances represented by chemical formulas have been introduced on the two previous pages, and these concepts should help to figure out the stoichiometry of reactions when a reaction equation is given.


Example 1
When 10.0 g pure calcium carbonate is heated and converted to solid calcium oxide CaO, how much calcium oxide should be obtained? If the only 5.0 grams CaO is obtained, what is the actual yield? Hint:Under ideal condition, amounts of substance in the reaction equation is as indicated below:
CaCO3 ® CaO + CO2100.0 . . . . . 56 . . . 44 g/mol (formula weights) 1 mol CaCO3 1 mol CaO 56 g CaO
10.0 g CaCO3 ------------ ----------- --------- = 5.6 g CaO
100 g CaCO3 1 mol CaCO3 1 mol CaO
DiscussionAn inefficient conversion is given here, but the method shows the details of consideration. If the amount of CaO obtained is not 5.6 g, one can conclude that the sample may not be pure.

Example 2
When 10.0 g pure calcium carbonate is heated and converted to solid calcium oxide CaO, how much CO2 at standard condition is released? Hint:
CaCO3 ® CaO + CO2 1 mol CO2 22.4 L CO2
10.0 g CaCO3 ----------- ----------- = 2.24 L CO2
100 g CaCO3 1 mol CO2

Discussion

We have taken a short cut in this formulation compared to Example 1. Example 1 and 2 illustrate the evaluation of quantities in g and in L.

Writing Equations for Chemical Reactions
Chemical reaction equations truly represent changes of materials. For many reactions, we may only be able to write equations for the overall reactions. For example, common sense tells us that when sugar is fully oxidized, carbon dioxide and water are the final products. The oxidation reaction is the same as the combustion reaction. Thus we write
C12H22O11 + 12 O2 ® 12 CO2 + 11 H2O This illustrates the methods used for writing balanced reaction equations:

Determine the reactants and productsIn this case, the products are CO2 and H2O, determined by common sense. We know that.

Apply the fundamental principle of conservation of atomsNumbers of atoms of each kind must be the same before and after the reactions.
Balance one type of atoms at a timeBR> We may use H or C to begin. Since there are 12 C atoms on the left, the coefficient is 12 for CO2. Similarly, 22 H atoms produce 11 H2O molecules.
Balance the oxygen atoms on both sides. There are a total of 35 O atoms on the right hand, and the coefficient for O2 should be 11.

Example 3
The compound N2O5 is unstable at room temperature. It decomposes yielding a brown gas NO2 and oxygen. Write a balanced chemical reaction equation for its decomposition. Hint:The first step is to write an unbalanced equation indicating only the reactant and products:
N2O5 ® NO2 + O2 A N2O5 molecule decomposes into two NO2 molecule, and half of O2.
N2O5 ® 2 NO2 + 1/2O2 In order to give whole number stoichiometric coefficients to the equation, we multiply all the stoichiometric coefficients by 2.
2 N2O5 ® 4 NO2 + O2 DiscussionThis example illustrate the steps used in writing a balance equation for a chemical reaction. This balanced equation does not tell us how a N2O5 molecule decompose, it only illustrate the overall reaction.

Example 4
When solutions of CaCl2 and AgNO3 are mixed, a white precipitate is formed. The same precipitate is also observed when NaCl solution is mixed with AgCH3CO2 solution. Write a balanced equation for this the reaction between CaCl2 and AgNO3. Hint:The common ions between NaCl and CaCl2 are Cl- ions, and Ag+ ions are common between the two silver containing compounds. The question illustrates a scientific deduction used in the determination of products. The product is AgCl, and the balanced reaction is
CaCl2 + 2 AgNO3 ® 2 AgCl + Ca(NO3)2 DiscussionIn reality, solutions of salts contain ions. In this case, the solutions contain Ca2+, Cl-, Ag+, and NO3- ions. The Cl- and Ag+ ions form an insoluble solid, and a precipitate is formed,
Cl- + Ag+ ® AgCl(s) Ca2+ and NO3- are by-stander ions.

Chemical Reactions
One of the most important topics in chemistry is chemical reaction. In this page, we only concentrate on the stoichiometry conveyed by reaction equations.

Other topics related to chemical reactions are:
Excess and Limiting Reagents or reactants left over or used upFeatures of chemical reactions or classification of reactionsChemical kinetics or reaction ratesReaction mechanism or how actually reaction proceedThe first two topics are included in this group, but the later topics will be discussed in another course (CHEM123).
Balancing Redox Reactions Balancing oxidation and reduction reaction equations is a little more complicated than what we discussed here. You have to have the skills to assign oxidation states, explain oxidation and reduction in terms of oxidation-state change, and write half reaction euqations. Then you will be able to balance redox reactions. All these are given in the next module on Chemical Reactions.

Naming Chemical Compounds

This link will provide with you a series of videos on naming chemical compounds:

http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/chemical-names.html

Lecture, Chapter 6

Compounds

A compound is a group of atoms with a specific number and type of atoms arranged in a specific way. Exactly the same elements in exactly the same proportions are in every bit of the compound.
Example: Water is a compound composed of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom is attached to an oxygen atom by a chemical bond. H2O is the formula for the compound, water.

If any other elements are attached, it is not water. For example, H2S is hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide does not have the same types of atoms as water, so it is a different compound.
If a different number of atoms of hydrogen or oxygen are attached, it is not water. H2O2 is the formula for hydrogen peroxide. It might have the right elements in it to be water, but it does not have them in the right proportion. A molecule is a single formula of a compound joined by covalent bonds.

The Law of Constant Proportions states that a given compound always contains the same proportion by weight of the same elements.

Electron Configuration and Valence Electrons
In a stable atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
Electrons in atoms are present in discrete orbits or "shells" around the nucleus of the atom.
There is a ranking or heirarchy of the shells, with the shells further from the nucleus having a higher energy.
The innermost electron shell holds only two electrons.
The outermost shell contains the valence electrons. The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the outer shell is eight. When there are eight electrons in the outer shell, it is said to have an octet of electrons.
The valence of an atom is the likely charge it will take on as an ion.
A valence is the amount of positive or negative charge on an ion of an element.
Example: Hydrogen only has one electron. It can lose an electron to become H+, a hydrogen ion, or it can gain an electron to become H-, a hydride ion.

The Octet Rule
The octet rule states that atoms are most stable when they have a full shell of 8 electrons in the outside electron shell.
Octet = 8
An atom with eight electrons in the outer shell is more stable than an atom which as fewer electrons in the outer shell.

The exception to this is Helium (atomic number 2) which only has two electrons in its outer shell. It has a full shell, so it is a stable inert element.

Valence electrons are the only electrons involved in chemical bonds.

Atoms will form chemical bonds with other atoms by either sharing electrons, or by transferring electrons in order to complete their octet and get 8 electrons in the outer shell.

Ions
In a stable atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
An atom which has a different number of electrons than it does protons is called an ion.

Ions are charged particles. Types of ions:

Cation - A positively charged ion.A cation is an atom or group of atoms with a net positive charge, caused by the loss of one or more electrons. Examples: Na+, NH4+, Mg+2

Anion - a negatively charged ion.An anion is an atom or group of atoms with a net negative charge, caused by the gain of one or more electrons.Examples: F-, S2-, NO3-

Polyatomic ion - a group of atoms which function as a group and which has a net positive or negative charge (cation or anion).Examples: NH4+ or NO3-

The Periodic Chart can show how the octet rule works. All of the Group I elements have one electron in the outside shell and they all have a valence of plus one. Group I elements will lose that one electron in the outside shell, to become a single positive ion with a full electron shell of eight electrons (an octet) in the s and p subshells under it.

Bonding
A bond is an attachment among atoms. Atoms may be held together for any of several reasons, but all bonds have to do with the electrons (particularly the outside electrons) of atoms.
There are several types of bonds:

Ionic bonds occur due to a full electrical charge difference attraction.

Covalent bonds occur due to sharing electrons.
There are bonds that come about from partial charges or the position or shape of electrons about an atom.

Ionic Bonds
The attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion is an ionic bond.

Some atoms (such as metals) tend to lose electrons to make the outside ring of electrons more stable. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion (or cation) because the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons.

Other atoms tend to gain electrons to complete the outside electron ring. The non-metal ions tend to gain electrons to fill out the outer shell. When the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons, the ion is negative. (Non-metal ions and most of the polyatomic ions have a negative charge.)

Ionic compounds - composed of cations and anions which are ionically bonded to each other due to attractions of opposite charges
1. Cations and anions combine in a ratio that produces a neutral compound; smallest whole number ratio is used for formula of an ionic compound.
e.g., Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl (one of each is needed to balance the charges: +1 and -1)
Mg+2 + Cl- ---> MgCl2(two Cl's are needed to balance the charges since Cl is -1 and Mg is +2 charge)
2. Cation is listed first, then anion in the formula

Lab 1: pH

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. It measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
A pH of 7 means it is a neutral solution. Pure water has a pH of 7.

A pH of less than 7 means the solution is acidic. A pH of more than 7 means the solution is basic.

The less pH, the more acidic the solution is. The more pH, the more basic the solution is.

pH stands for the power of H, or the amount of H+ ions acids or bases take or contribute in solution. pH equals the negative log of the concentration of H+.pH = -log[H+]When the concentration of H+ ions in a solution is 10-14, the pH is 14. In pure water, the average concentration of H+ ions is 10-7.

You will be performing a pH test on different solutions. You will determine the pH of the solutions with test strips and compare them to pH color chart. You will identify the similarities and differences of the different solutions.

Period Table of Element....More trends....

Review
Period - a row of elements on the periodic table. Remember that sentences are written in rows and end with a period.

Group - a column of elements on the periodic table. Remember that group is spelled group and groups go up and down.

Atomic Radius - Atomic radius is simply the radius of the atom, an indication of the atom's volume.

Period - atomic radius decreases as you go from left to right across a period.
Why? Stronger attractive forces in atoms (as you go from left to right) between the opposite charges in the nucleus and electron cloud cause the atom to be 'sucked' together a little tighter.

Group - atomic radius increases as you go down a group.
Why? There is a significant jump in the size of the nucleus (protons + neutrons) each time you move from period to period down a group. Additionally, new energy levels of elections clouds are added to the atom as you move from period to period down a group, making the each atom significantly more massive, both is mass and volume.

Electronegativity - Electronegativity is an atom's 'desire' to grab another atom's electrons.

Period - electronegativity increases as you go from left to right across a period.
Why? Elements on the left of the period table have 1 -2 valence electrons and would rather give those few valence electrons away (to achieve the octet in a lower energy level) than grab another atom's electrons. As a result, they have low electronegativity. Elements on the right side of the period table only need a few electrons to complete the octet, so they have strong desire to grab another atom's electrons.

Group - electronegativity decreases as you go down a group.
Why? Elements near the top of the period table have few electrons to begin with; every electron is a big deal. They have a stronger desire to acquire more electrons. Elements near the bottom of the chart have so many electrons that loosing or acquiring an electron is not as big a deal. This is due to the shielding affect where electrons in lower energy levels shield the positive charge of the nucleus from outer electrons resulting in those outer electrons not being as tightly bound to the atom.

Ionization Energy - Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove the outmost electron. It is closely related to electronegativity.

Period - ionization energy increases as you go from left to right across a period.
Why? Elements on the right of the chart want to take others atom's electron (not given them up) because they are close to achieving the octet. The means it will require more energy to remove the outer most electron. Elements on the left of the chart would prefer to give up their electrons so it is easy to remove them, requiring less energy (low ionization energy).

Group - ionization energy decreases as you go down a group.
Why? The shielding affect makes it easier to remove the outer most electrons from those atoms that have many electrons (those near the bottom of the chart).

Reactivity - Reactivity refers to how likely or vigorously an atom is to react with other substances. This is usually determined by how easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy) and how badly they want to take other atom's electrons (electronegativity) because it is the transfer/interaction of electrons that is the basis of chemical reactions.

Metals

Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.

Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group
Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.Non-metals

Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period. Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group.
Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron.

Ionic Radius vs. Atomic Radius

Metals - the atomic radius of a metal is generally larger than the ionic radius of the same element.
Why? Generally, metals loose electrons to achieve the octet. This creates a larger positive charge in the nucleus than the negative charge in the electron cloud, causing the electron cloud to be drawn a little closer to the nucleus as an ion.

Non-metals - the atomic radius of a non-metal is generally smaller than the ionic radius of the same element.
Why? Generally, non-metals loose electrons to achieve the octet. This creates a larger negative charge in the electron cloud than positive charge in the nucleus, causing the electron cloud to 'puff out' a little bit as an ion.

Melting Point

Metals - the melting point for metals generally decreases as you go down a group.

Non-metals - the melting point for non-metals generally increases as you go down a group.

Color Coding the Periodic Table

Color Coding the Periodic Table
Student Information Sheet

The Periodic Table is a list of all the known elements. It is organized by increasing atomic number. There are two main groups on the periodic table: metals and nonmetals. The left side of the table contains elements with the greatest metallic properties. As you move from the left to the right, the elements become less metallic with the far right side of the table consisting of nonmetals. The elements in the middle of the table are called “transition” elements because they are changed from metallic properties to nonmetallic properties. A small group whose members touch the zigzag line are called metalloids because they have both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
The table is also arranged in vertical columns called “groups” or “families” and horizontal rows called “periods.” Each arrangement is significant. The elements in each vertical column or group have similar properties. Group 1 elements all have the electron in their outer shells. This gives them similar properties. Group 2 elements all have 2 electrons in their outer shells. This also gives them similar properties. Not all of the groups, however, hold true for this pattern. The elements in the first period or row all have one shell. The elements in period 2 all have 2 shells. The elements in period 3 have 3 shells and so on.
There are a number of major groups with similar properties. They are as follows:
Hydrogen: This element does not match the properties of any other group so it stands alone. It is placed above group 1 but it is not part of that group. It is a very reactive, colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. (1 outer level electron)
Group 1: Alkali Metals – These metals are extremely reactive and are never found in nature in their pure form. They are silver colored and shiny. Their density is extremely low so that they are soft enough to be cut with a knife. (1 outer level electron)
Group 2: Alkaline-earth Metals – Slightly less reactive than alkali metals. They are silver colored and more dense than alkali metals. (2 outer level electrons)
Groups 3 – 12: Transition Metals – These metals have a moderate range of reactivity and a wide range of properties. In general, they are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. They also have higher densities and melting points than groups 1 & 2. (1 or 2 outer level electrons)
Lanthanides and Actinides: These are also transition metals that were taken out and placed at the bottom of the table so the table wouldn’t be so wide. The elements in each of these two periods share many properties. The lanthanides are shiny and reactive. The actinides are all radioactive and are therefore unstable. Elements 95 through 103 do not exist in nature but have been manufactured in the lab.
Group 13: Boron Group – Contains one metalloid and 4 metals. Reactive. Aluminum is in this group. It is also the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. (3 outer level electrons)
Group 14: Carbon Group – Contains on nonmetal, two metalloids, and two metals. Varied reactivity. (4 outer level electrons)
Group 15: Nitrogen Group – Contains two nonmetals, two metalloids, and one metal. Varied reactivity. (5 outer level electrons)
Group 16: Oxygen Group – Contains three nonmetals, one metalloid, and one metal. Reactive group. (6 outer level electrons)
Groups 17: Halogens – All nonmetals. Very reactive. Poor conductors of heat and electricity. Tend to form salts with metals. Ex. NaCl: sodium chloride also known as “table salt”. (7 outer level electrons)
Groups 18: Noble Gases – Unreactive nonmetals. All are colorless, odorless gases at room temperature. All found in earth’s atmosphere in small amounts. (8 outer level electrons)

Seperation Techniques

Distillation
METHODS of SEPARATING MIXTURES and purifying substances

Simple Distillation

simple distillation diagramDistillation involves 2 stages and both are physical state changes.

(1) The liquid or solution mixture is boiled to vaporise the most volatile component in the mixture (liquid ==> gas). The ant-bumping granules give a smoother boiling action.

(2) The vapour is cooled by cold water in the condenser to condense (gas ==> liquid) it back to a liquid (the distillate) which is collected.

This can be used to purify water because the dissolved solids have a much higher boiling point and will not evaporate with the steam, BUT it is too simple a method to separate a mixture of liquids especially if the boiling points are relatively close.


Fractional Distillation
Fractional Distillation

fractional distillation diagram and theoryFractional distillation involves 2 main stages and both are physical state changes. It can only work with liquids with different boiling points. However, this method only works if all the liquids in the mixture are miscible (e.g. alcohol/water, crude oil etc.) and do NOT separate out into layers like oil/water.

(1) The liquid or solution mixture is boiled to vaporise the most volatile component in the mixture (liquid ==>gas). The ant-bumping granules give a smoother boiling action.

(2) The vapour passes up through a fractionating column, where the separation takes place (theory at the end). This column is not used in the simple distillation described above.

(3) The vapour is cooled by cold water in the condenser to condense (gas ==> liquid) it back to a liquid (the distillate) which is collected.

This can be used to separate alcohol from a fermented sugar solution.

It is used on a large scale to separate the components of crude oil, because the different hydrocarbons have different boiling and condensation points (see oil).

FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION THEORY:

Imagine green liquid is a mixture of a blue liquid (boiling point 80oC) and a yellow liquid (boiling point 100oC), so we have a coloured diagram simulation of a colourless alcohol and water mixture! As the vapour from the boiling mixture enters the fractionating column it begins to cool and condense. The highest boiling or least volatile liquid tends to condense more i.e. the yellow liquid (water). The lower boiling more volatile blue liquid gets further up the column. Gradually up the column the blue and yellow separate from each other so that yellow condenses back into the flask and pure blue distils over to be collected. The 1st liquid, the lowest boiling point, is called the 1st fraction and each liquid distils over when the top of the column reaches its particular boiling point to give the 2nd, 3rd fraction etc.

To increase the separation efficiency of the tall fractionating column, it is usually packed with glass beads, short glass tubes or glass rings etc. which greatly increase the surface area for evaporation and condensation.

In the distillation of crude oil the different fractions are condensed out at different points in a huge fractionating column. At the top are the very low boiling fuel gases like butane and at the bottom are the high boiling big molecules of waxes and tar.


Chromatography
Paper or Thin Layer Chromatography

diagram of paper/thin layer chromatography at the enddiagram of paper/thin layer chromatography at startdiagram of paper/thin layer chromatography at the endThis method of separation is used to see what coloured materials make up e.g. a food dye analysis.

The material to be separated e.g. a food dye (6) is dissolved in a solvent and carefully spotted onto chromatography paper or a thin layer of a white mineral material on a glass sheet. Alongside it are spotted known colours on a 'start line' (1-5).

The paper is carefully dipped into a solvent, which is absorbed into the paper and rises up it. The solvent may be water or an organic liquid like an alcohol (e.g. ethanol) or a hydrocarbon, so-called non-aqueous solvents. For accurate work the distance moved by the solent is marked on carefully with a pencil and the distances moved by each 'centre' of the coloured spots is also measured. These can be compared with known substances BUT if so, the identical paper and solvent must be used (See Rf values below).

Due to different solubilities and different molecular 'adhesion' some colours move more than others up the paper, so effecting the separation of the different coloured molecules.

Any colour which horizontally matches another is likely to be the same molecule i.e. red (1 and 6), brown (3 and 6) and blue (4 and 6) match, showing these three are all in the food dye (6).

The distance a substance moves, compared to the distance the solvent front moves (top of grey area on 2nd diagram) is called the reference or Rf valueand has a value of 0.0 (not moved - no good), to 1.0 (too soluble - no good either), but Rf ratio values between 0.1 and 0.9 can be useful for analysis and identification.

Rf = distance moved by dissolved substance (solute) / distance moved by solvent.

Some technical terms: The substances (solutes) to be analysed must dissolve in the solvent, which is called the mobile phase because it moves. The paper or thin layer of material on which the separation takes place is called the stationary or immobile phase because it doesn't move.

It is possible to analyse colourless mixture if the components can be made coloured e.g. protein can be broken down into amino acids and coloured purple by a chemical reagent called Ninhydrin and many colourless organic molecules fluoresce when ultra-violet light is shone on them. These are called locating agents.

Thin layer chromatograpy (t.l.c) is where a layer of paste is thinly and evenly spread on e.g. a glass plate. The paste consists of the solid immobile phase like aluminium oxide dispersesd in a liquid such as water. The plate is allowed to dry and then used in the same way as paper chromatography.
