Oxidation State/number (Valence) • positive or negative numbers assigned to elements • combining capacity of an atom • it tells the number of elections that an atom can donate or gain to become stable Criss-cross method • the oxidation number/ charge of one substance becomes the subscript of the other Cations – positive oxidation numbers 2 methods to name cations: • Stock system o Common method which uses Roman numerals to indicate the charges of the ions • Classical system o Uses the root word of the metal and the suffix -ous – for lower oxidation numbers -ic – for higher oxidation numbers 2 types of cations: • Monoatomic ions – single atoms • Polyatomic ions – more than one atom Names of Metal Ions with Variable Oxidation Numbers Formula Stock Name Classical Name Cr2+ Chromium (II) ion Chromous ion Cr3+ Chromium (III) ion Chromic ion Co2+ Cobalt (II) ion Cobaltous ion Co3+ Cobalt (III) ion Cobaltic ion Cu1+ Copper (I) ion Cuprous ion Pb2+ Lead (II) ion Plumbous ion Pb4+ Lead (IV) ion Plumbic ion Hg22+ Mercury (I) ion Mercurous ion Hg2+ Mercury (II) ion Mercuric ion Sn2+ Tin (II) ion Stannous ion Sn4+ Tin (IV) ion Stannic ion Fe2+ Iron (II) ion Ferrous ion Fe3+ Iron (III) ion Ferric ion Mn2+ Manganese (II) ion Manganous ion Mn3+ Manganese (III) ion Manganic ion Anions – negative oxidation numbers Naming Anions: • monoatomic nonmetallic anions – dropping the ending of the elements and adding the eding –ide • polyatomic anions containing oxygen (oxyanions) o series of oxyanions that extends to 2 ions –ate – higher oxygen – ite – lower oxygen o Series of oxyanions that extends to 4 ions 4 oxygen – prefix : per- ; suffix : -ate 3 oxygen – suffix : -ite 2 oxygen – suffix : -ate 1 oxygen – prefix : hypo- ; suffix : -ite o For polyatomic oxyanions that begin with H, prefixes like hydrogen are used for H and dihydrogen for 2H

Catalyst is used as in the sample or equation, MnO2 Catalyst – a substance that hastens a reaction without being used up Balancing Chemical Equation Coefficient – a number before the symbol or formula of the substance • by inspection o Write the equation using the correct symbols and formulas o Check that the number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation is the same. Consider a polyatomic ion as a group of unchanged unit o Balance the equation one element at a time by writing the proper coefficient until the equation is balanced o Check all the coefficients to see that they are all whole numbers and in the lowest ratio. If the coefficients are fractions, multiply all coefficients by the same number to make all the fractions whole number. If the coefficients are divisible by a common factor, divide to obtain the lowest possible ratio • By Redox (Reduction-oxidation) Reaction o Terms Redox reaction – is a reaction in which election of an atom in a substance are transferred to an atom of another substance. It is composed of two half reactions, namely, oxidation and reduction reactions Oxidizing Agent – the substance that contains the atom that has gained electrons Oxidation – is a half- reaction that involves loss of electrons resulting to an increase in the oxidation number Oxidized – the atom that has lost electrons

Reducing Agent – the substance that carries the atom that has lost electrons Reduction – is a half-reaction that involves gain of electrons resulting to a decrease of oxidation number Reduced – the atom that has gained electrons
Rules The oxidation number of a free element (uncombined state) is 0 In a compound, the less electron negative element is given positive oxidation number while the more electron negative element is given negative oxidation number In the formula of a compound, the sum of the positive and negative oxidation number should be equal to 0 In polyatomic ions, the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms present is equal to the charge of the ion In all oxygen compounds, the oxidation number of oxygen per atom is -2. Exceptions are the peroxides where the oxidation number is -1 and in OF2 where the oxidation number of oxygen is +2 The oxidation number of hydrogen in most of its compounds is +1. when hydrogen combines with metals, its oxidation number is -1 Elements of groups 1A, 2A, and 3A have positive oxidation number equal to their group numbers. The maximum positive oxidation number that can be assigned to an elements is equal to its group number while the maximum negative number assigned to an element is equal to its group number. Some elements have variable oxidation numbers and these are mostly the transition elements Example
Oxidized – Al Reduced – Mn
Oxidizing agent – MnO2 Reducing agent – Al

Scientific Notation • A way of expressing very large or very small numbers in exponential form using the powers of 10 General formula : N x 10e • Where N is equal or more than 1 but not greater than 10 • Where E is any positive or negative integer Steps • Determine N by moving the decimal point so that I will be placed after the first nonzero digit • Multiply N by 10 raised to exponent “e” where “e” is equal to the number of places the decimal point was moved o “e” is positive if the decimal point was moved to the left o “e” is negative if the decimal point was moved to the right Precision – It tells how close several measurements are to the same value. When this happens, the measurement is said to be precise, but not necessarily accurate Accuracy – it tells how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value. A measurement that is accurate or has a high accuracy is one that is close to the true value Significant Figures • these are digits that show accuracy and uncertaintly in measurements 14 . 6 Accuracy Uncertain Rules • All non zero digits are significant • Zeros in between nonzero digits are significant • Zeros to the right of a decimal point and to the right also of a nonzero digit are significant • Zeros to the right of a decimal point but to the left of a nonzero digit are not significant • When a number ends in zeros, the zeros are not significant unless specifically indicated by a bar line placed above the rightmost, such zeros are significant • Powers of 10 in scientific notation have no effect in the number of significant values Rules in Determining the Sum and Difference • The sum and difference should have the same place value with the least accurate place value o 20.25 + 426.002 – 355 = 91.252 = 91 Multiplication and Division • The product or the quotient should have the same number of significant figure with the factor that has the least number of significant figures (25.0)(0.800)(9.20 x 103)
(200)(0.0050) = 18400 = 20000 Measurement – also a way of comparing two things Standard measurement – measuring device that you use Systems • English/ British – from England, inches, foot, pint, ounce, yard • Metric system – from France, from the unit meter, based other units from unit meter, meter, km, cm, dm, mm, g, kg, mg • International System (SI) – used to express physical quantities in al sciences Quantity Length Mass Time Electrical current Temperature Amount of substance Luminous intensity
