Chapter 21: Nonmetallic Elements and Their Compounds
(http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072512644/student_view0/chapter21)
General Properties of Nonmetals
-A majority of the nonmetals are either in the solid or gaseous state; only 1 is in the liquid state.
-Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and show both positive and negative oxidation numbers
-Metalloids (have both properties of metals and non-metals)
-Nonmetals are more electronegative then metals (electronegatitvity increases going from left to right and from the bottom to top of the periodic table) Hydrogen:
-Most abundant element in the universe (70% of the universe total mass)
-Simplest element known (atomic form contains 1 proton and 1 electron)
-Hydrogen is normally a diatomic molecule
-Molecular Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, nonpoisonous gas and has a boiling point of -252.9C -Most abundant element in the universe accounting for 70% of the universe's total mass
-Ground state of hydrogen is 1s
-Resembles the alkali metals in that it can be oxidized by the H ion (exists in aqueous solutions in the hydrated form)
-hydrogen also resembles the halogens in that it forms the uninegative hydridge ion
-Is found in a large number of covalent compounds
-hydrogen gas also can be produced by the reaction between and alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal and water Binary Hydrides:
-Binary Hydrides Are compounds containing hydrogen and another elements (either metal or nonmetal)
-Divided into three types
*Ionic hydrides

*Covalent hydrides (http://www.daviddarling.info/images/hydrazine.png)
*Interstitial hydrides (http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/staff/pics/aehw2.jpg) -Ionic Hydrides---> formed when molecular hydrogen combines directly with any alkali metal or with the alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, or Ba)
-Are solides that have the high melting points that are similar to ionic comounds
-Because of their high reactivity with water, ionic hydrides are commonly used to remove traces of water from organic solvents
-Easily accepts a proton from a proton donor
-Covalent Hydrides--> the hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to the atom of another element
-two types- discrete molecular units, and complex polymeric structures (where X is a large number)
-Interstitial Hydrides--> The ratio of hydrogen atoms to metal atoms is not a constant in some of these compounds
-Many of these hydrides have metallic properties such as electrical conductivity
-Hydrogen is bonded to these to the metal in these compounds although the exact nature of its bonding is not clear Isotopes of Hydrogen:
(http://www.estrellamountain.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/Hyiso.gif-Hydrogen has three isotopes) Hydrogenation:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Hydrogenation_on_catalyst.png)
-The addition of hydrogen to compounds containing multiple bonds
-For example, a simple hydrogenation reaction can be a conversion of ethylene to ethane
-This reaction is fairly slow but it can be increased by nickel or platinum (a catalyst)
-The main function of the catalyst is to weaken the H-H bonds and speed up the reaction The Hydrogen Economy:
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/rtdinfo/42/01/images/irma01_en_1672.jpg)
-Hydrogen gas could replace gasoline to power automobiles or to be used with oxygen gas in fuel cells to generate electricity
-This is beneficial because using hydrogen gas in these ways are essentially free of pollutants
-All of this depends on the cost on how cheaply hydrogen gas can be produced Carbon:
-Essential element of living matter
-Component of naturl gas, petroleum, and coal
-Carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and occurs as carbonate in limestone and chalk
-Diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon
-Carbon has the unique ability to form long chains and stable rings with 5 or 6 members
-This is called catenation which is the linking of atoms
-Carbon makes up millions of organic compounds Nitrogen:
-About 78% of air volume is nitrogen
-The most important mineral sources of nitrogen are saltpeter and Chile saltpeter
-It is an essential element of life and is a main component of proteins and nucleic acids
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Nitrogen.svg/424px-Nitrogen.svg.png) Phosphorus:
-Member of the group 5A family
-Phosphorus occurs most commonly in nature as phosphate rocks (are mostly calcium phosphate and fluoroapatite)
-Elemental phosphorus can be obtained by heating calcium phosphate with coke and silica sand
-Several allotropic forms of phosphorus Oxygen:
-Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust (46% of its mass)
-The atmosphere contains about 21% molecular oxygen by volume (23% by mass)
-Oxygen in the free state is a diatmoic molecule (HOBrFINCl)
-Pure oxygen is prepared by fractional distallation of liquefied air
-Oxygen gas is colorless and odorless Sulfur:
The Halogens:

(http://www.chem4kids.com/files/art/elem_halogen1.gif) Preparation and General Properties of the Halogens:
(http://www.wonderwhizkids.com/resources/content/images/ChemicalReactions/hng7.jpg) Compounds of the Halogens:
(http://www.revisionworld.com/files/halogens.jpg)
-Most of the halides can be classified into two categories--> flourides and chlorides
-Most of the flourides and chlorides are ionic compounds Uses of the Halogens:
Flourine:
-Fluoridation--> practice of adding small quantities of flourides (about 1 ppm) such as NaF to drinking water to reduce dental caries
-Most inorganic fluorides is uranium hexafluoride which is essential in to the gaseous diffusion process for seperating isoptopes of uranium
-Fluroine is used industrially to produce polytetrafluoroethylene also known as teflon Chlorine:
-Plays an important biological role in the human body in which the chorline ion is the principal anion in intracellular amd extracellular fluids
-Chlorine is used as an industrial bleaching agent for paper and textiles
-Around the house supplies (laundry bleach) which contains the ative ingredient in sodium hypochlorite
-Also used to purify water and disinfect swimming pools
-Large quantites of chlorine are used to produce insecticides (DDT)
-Also used to produce polymers
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Chlorine.svg/424px-Chlorine.svg.png) Bromine:
-Bromine compounds occur naturally only in some marine organisms
-Used to prepare ethylene dibromide--> used as an insecticide and as a scavenger for lead in gasoline to keep lead deposits from clogging engines
-Combines with silver to form silve rbromide which is used in photographic films
(http://www.carondelet.pvt.k12.ca.us/Family/Science/Halogens/b0035.gif) Iodine:
-Not used as widely as the other halogens
-An essential constituent of the thyroid hormone thyroxine
-Iodine deficiency in a diet may result in enlarged thyroid glands
(http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http:www.speciation.net/Public/Data/sp/Image/thyroxine.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.speciation.net/Public/Objects/Glossary/index.html%3Frb_select_l%3DT&usg=1Mf_DCtVSvJiRSCi92AontCEgxE=&h=106&w=255&sz=1&hl=en&start=9&um=1&tbnid=YBhhIzXzWOptIM:&tbnh=46&tbnw=111&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dthyroxine%2Bstructure%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1)
-Iodized table salt sold in the U.S contains about .01% KI or NaI which is more than sufficient to satisfy the 1 mg of iodine per week required for the formation of thyroxine in the human body
