CHEMISTRY AS A SCIENCE SUBJECT
Science is an organized body of knowledge gathered through systematic experimentations and philosophical observations. Chemistry can be defined as a branch of science which deals with the study of the nature, structure, composition, properties and uses of all forms of matter and the changes in structure and composition which matter undergoes.
BRANCHES OF CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is divided into three main branches, namely
Physical chemistry
Organic chemistry
Inorganic chemistry
Physical chemistry deals with the physical aspect of chemistry like quantum theory, heat and electricity.
Organic chemistry deals with the study of carbon and its compounds.
Inorganic chemistry deals with the study of elements, their properties and uses
SCIENTIFIC METHODS OF DISCOVERIES
Scientific method of discovery includes the following steps and stages:
- Observation
- Pattern
- Problem
- Hypothesis,
- Experiments
- Theory

TOPIC: NATURE OF MATTER
CONTENT
- NATURE OF MATTER
- COMPARISON BETWEEN SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS
- TYPES OF CHANGE
NATURE OF MATTER
Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space. It exists in three states namely: solid, liquid and gas.
The fundamental difference between the three states of matter depends on the degree of movement of the particles they are made of.
SOLID STATE
The particles of a solid are tightly packed and held together by a strong electrostatic force.
The particles only vibrate to and fro about an equilibrium or a fixed position. They have a definite shape and volume and very difficult to compress.
LIQUID STATE
The forces of attraction between molecules of liquids are weak compared to that of solids. Hence they have slight movements. This is why liquids can flow. They have definite volume but not definite shape.
GASEOUS STATE
As a result of the distance between the molecules of gases, the cohesive forces between them are very negligible and so they move randomly. Gases have no definite shape and volume. They assume the shape of the containing vessel.

VALENCY
Valency is the combining power of an element. It can also be defined as the number of hydrogen atoms that can combine with or replace one atom of that element.
Valency of an element depends on the structure of that element. At times it corresponds to the number of electrons in the outermost shells called valence electrons.
Below are the valencies of some elements:
Element Symbol Valency
Aluminium Al +3
Argon Ar Nil
Calcium Ca +2
Chlorine Cl -1
Sulphur S -2, -4 or -6
Sodium Na +1
Magnesium Mg +2
Copper Cu +1 or +2
Carbon C -2 or -4
Barium Ba +2
Silver Ag +1
Iron Fe +2 or +3
Valencies have either positive or negative values showing whether electrons are gained or lost. If an element gains electrons, its value is negative but positive when it loses electrons.
Generally, metals exhibit positive valencies while non – metal tend to have negative valencies. Some element exhibit more than one valency. Valency can also be called oxidation number or state.
RADICALS
A radical is a group of atoms having an electric charge either positive or negative which keeps its identity and react as a single unit. Any small group of atoms carrying a negative charge is called an acid radical. Examples of acid radicals include S042-, C032-, N03–
The valency of a radical corresponds to the charge it carries.

WEEK SIX
TOPIC: STANDARD SEPARATION TECHNIQUES
CONTENT
- STANDARD SEPARATION TECHNIQUES
STANDARD SEPARATION TECHNIQUES
The importance of separating a mixture into its constituents cannot be over emphasized since most substances are needed in their pure form. There are many standard separation techniques. Some of these separating techniques are filtration, centrifugation and decantation. Others include sieving, magnetic separation and sublimation, evaporation, crystallization, fractional precipitation, distillation, fractional distillation, using separating funnel and chromatography.
FILTRATION
Filtration is a separation technique that involves separating an insoluble solid from liquid using a filter. For example, a mixture of chalk particles in water can be separated using filtration technique. Filtration is used in industries such as water purification plants and breweries.
CENTRIFUGATION
A CENTRIFUGE MACHINE
Centrifugation is a standard separation technique used to separate a mixture of insoluble solid from liquid by using a centrifuge. A centrifuge is a machine which can spin test tubes containing suspensions at high speed. Centrifugation is often used when there is only a small amount of material. In hospitals, blood samples are centrifuged to separate the blood cells from the plasma.
DECANTATION
Decantation is a separation technique used to separate a mixture containing insoluble solid from a liquid. This is done when the mixture is allowed to settle down with the upper clear liquid carefully poured or decanted into a clean container thereby leaving the lower solid in the container originally containing the mixture. This is a quick but inaccurate method of separating the components of a mixture.
EVAPORATION
Evaporation is a separation technique used to recover soluble solute from its solvent. For example salt can be separated from salt solution by evaporation.
A Salt Evaporation Pond
Salt is produced in the San Francisco area mainly by solar evaporation, where seawater is fed into large ponds that are gradually evaporated by the sun and the wind. After the water is evaporated, the salt is collected. |
Evaporation is used in salt –making industries.
CRYSTALLIZATION
Crystallization is used to obtain pure crystals of salts which decompose easily on heating from its solution. The solution is concentrated by heating. It is allowed to cool down and crystals start to form. To induce crystal formation:
- add crystals of the salt (seedling)
- scratch the inside of the container with a glass rod
Crystallization is used in industries where purity of the product is important, such as in drug industries and sugar industries.
FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION
It is used to separate two or more solutes (solids) which are present in the same solution. The solutes to be separated must have different solubilities at different temperatures. Starting from a particular temperature, as cooling of the solution of those solutes takes place, the crystals of the relevant solutes appear leaving the other solutes in the solution.
EVALUATION
- Explain briefly the following methods of separation of mixtures: (a) Filtration (b) Decantation (c) Centrifugation
- Explain how a pure sample of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) crystals can be obtained from its solution in the laboratory.
- How would you separate a mixture of PbCl2 and NaCl
PRECIPITATION
In precipitation, a difference in the solubility of a solid in two different miscible liquids is used. For example, FeS04 is soluble in water but not on ethanol. If ethanol is added to a solution of FeS04 in water, the FeS04 will be precipitated out of the solution and filtered out.
SUBLIMATION
Sublimation is the change of state from solid to gas directly on application of heat. Examples of substances that sublime are iodine and ammonium chloride. Sublimation can be used to separate these substances. The pure crystal recovered is the sublimate.
DISTILLATION
This is used to recover a solvent from a solution. It involves vapourising a liquid and then condensing the vapour into a liquid called distillate. The solute and other impurities remain in the distillation flask. It is used in gin and water distilleries to manufacture gin and distilled water.
FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION
This is used to separate a mixture of two or more miscible liquids based on their boiling points. When two liquids have boiling points that are very close (less than 100oC the use of simple distillation becomes difficult. A fractionating column is inserted into the distillation flask. It is used to separate crude oil into fractions, separation of liquid air into oxygen and nitrogen, manufacture of spirits and to separate benzene and methyl benzene mixture.
EVALUATION
1. State the major difference between distillation and fractional distillation in terms of (a) Features of the apparatus (b) Mixtures to be separated
2. Explain the following separation techniques
- Precipitation
- Sublimation
SEPARATING FUNNEL
This is used to separate immiscible liquids. It depends on the densities of the two liquids. The less dense will be on top and the denser below. It is used to separate water and kerosene
SIEVING
This is used to separate solid particles of different sizes. Particles smaller than the size of the sieve (mesh) pass through leaving behind particles of larger sizes. It is used in gold and diamond mines and in garri industries.
MAGNETIC SEPARATION
This is used to separate magnetic substances from non-magnetic particles. It is used in mining and steel industries. It can be used to remove magnetic impurities from tin ores. It can be used to separate iron filings from sulphur powder.
CHROMATOGRAPHY
This method uses a solvent moving over an adsorbent medium (paper) which is porous to separate mixtures of solutes.
A chemist uses liquid chromatography to analyze a complex mixture of substances. The chromatograph utilizes an adsorptive medium, which when placed in contact with a sample, adsorbs the various constituents of the sample at different rates. In this manner, the components of a mixture are separated. Chromatography has many valuable applications, such as determining the level of pollutants in air, analyzing drugs, and testing blood and urine samples. |
Types
- Paper chromatography
- Thin layer chromatography
- Gas chromatography
- Column chromatography
In paper chromatography, a solution, such as ink, is spotted into the paper near one end. The paper is dipped into an appropriate solvent such as water or ethanol in a closed air-tight jar. The solvent moves up the paper. The paper is removed and dried. The different spots on the paper show the different substances the solution (ink or dye) contains.
It is used in medicine to analyze blood. In industry, it is used to identify petroleum fractions. It is also used in scientific research.
CRITERIA FOR PURITY
- The melting point and boiling point of a pure substance are fixed but change in the presence of impurities. Impurities lower the melting point of a substance and increase its boiling point

A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that can exist alone and still retains the chemical properties of that substance. Molecules are made up of atoms.
Atomicity of an element is the number of atoms in one molecule of the element.
We have monatomic, diatomic and triatomic for those elements that contain one atom, two atoms and three atoms respectively in their molecules.
Examples:
Element Atomicity
Hydrogen Diatomic
Oxygen Diatomic
Nitrogen Diatomic
Neon Monoatomic
Helium Monoatomic
Argon Monoatomic
EVALUATION
- Define an atom.
- Give two examples of diatomic molecules.
IONS
An ion is an atom or group of atoms which carries an electric charge. Such groups of atoms that carry either a positive or negative charge are called RADICALS.
An acid radical is thus a small group of atoms carrying a negative charge that keeps its identity. Examples include S042-, N03– e.t.c.
Generally ions are grouped as cations and anions. Cations are positively charged ions e.g Ca2+, Na+, NH4+ e.t.c.
Anions are negatively charged ions e.g.. C032-, S042-, Cl–, OH–, etc.
EVALUATION
- What are ions?
- State the cation and anion present in (I) H2S04 (ii) NaCl (iii) FeS04
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
John Dalton, British Physicist and Chemist (1808) proposed the atomic theory thus:
- All elements are made up of small indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed in any chemical reaction.
- Atoms of the same elements are exactly alike in aspect and are different from atoms of all other elements.
- Atoms of different elements can combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds.
- All chemical changes result from the combination or separation of atoms
MODIFICATIONS OF DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
Due to new discoveries in the twentieth century, Dalton’s atomic theory cannot hold in its entirety. There is need for its modification.
- The first statement has been proved wrong by Rutherford’s discovery of protons, electron and neutrons as constituents of the atom. An atom is not an indivisible solid piece.
- The second statement still holds good for ordinary chemical reactions. During nuclear reactions, however, the nucleus can be broken into simpler atoms giving out large amount of heat (nuclear fission). This destroys the atoms involved.
- The discovery of isotopes makes the third statement unacceptable. Chlorine for example has two atoms with different nucleus content and hence different relative atomic masses although the same proton numbers.
- The fourth statement is true only for inorganic compounds which contain a few atoms per molecule. Carbon forms very large organic molecules such as proteins, starch and fats which
contain thousands of atoms.

IUPAC NOMENCLATURE OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
CONTENT
Naming of:
—- binary compounds
—- radials and compounds having elements with variable oxidation numbers.
—- tertiary and quartenary compounds.
—- compounds with cations replaced with hydrogen.
NAMING OF BINARY COMPOUNDS
Nomenclature: This is the system of naming chemical compounds. The system is called IUPAC (International union of pure and applied chemistry). The naming is determined by the constituent elements in the compound and the oxidation number if necessary.
In naming binary compounds (compounds with only two elements), electropositive elements (cations) are usually named first while the electronegative elements (anions) come last with a modification of the name end with – ide.
Examples:
Formula IUPAC name
MgO Magnesium oxide
H2S Hydrogen sulphide
NH4Cl Ammonium chloride
NaH Sodium hydride
But in cases where the two elements involved are non-metals, the above rule is not followed. For example, H2O (water) NH3 (ammonia) and PH3 (phosphine)
EVALUATION
Name the following compounds: (a) NaCl (b) CaO (c) H2O2.
NAMING OF RADICALS AND COMPOUNDS HAVING ELEMENTS WITH VARIABLE OXIDATION NUMERS
Radicals (group of atoms of element carrying electrical charge) are treated as a single element when naming their compounds.
Examples of radicals with their names are as follows:
Radical IUPAC NAME
NH4+ Ammonium ion
OH
Hydroxyl ion
But in naming acid radicals, the oxidation number of elements is indicated by Roman numbers in bracket.
Example:
Formula IUPAC
NO2 Dioxonitratei(iii) ion
NO3– Trioxonitrate(v) ion
CO32- Trioxocarbonate(iv) ion.

CONSTITUENTS OF AN ATOM
Atoms are made up of sub-particles. Protons, electrons and neutrons. Proton has a positive charge, electron has a negative charge and neutron has no charge.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of its atom.
Mass number or atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of its atom.
Mass Number = Number of proton + Number of neutron

ISOTOPES
Isotopy is the occurrence of atoms of elements having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. This is due to the difference in the number of neutrons present in the atoms. The atoms that exhibit isotopy are called ISOTOPES.
Examples of atoms that exhibit isotopy are chlorine 35Cl and 37 Cl
