Figure 5.13 shows the way in which the molecules are visualised, their chemical symbol, and the names of the first three members of the series. The carbon atom has four bonds that can join with either one or more carbon atoms (a unique-property) or with atoms of other elements, such as hydrogen. Hydrogen has only one bond, and can therefore join with only one other atom. 

Nowadays, chemical elements are represented in abbreviated form [2]. Each element has its ovm symbol, which typically consists of the initial upper-case letter of the scientific name and, in most cases, is followed by an additional characteristic lower-case letter. Together with the chemical symbol, additional information can be included such as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus) thus isotopes can be distinguished, e.g., The charge value and, finally, the number of atoms which are present in the molecule can be given (Figure 2-3). For example, dioxygen is represented by O2. 

Sodium [7440-23-5] Na, an alkali metal, is the second element of Group 1 (lA) of the Periodic Table, atomic wt 22.9898. The chemical symbol is derived from the Latin natrium. Commercial iaterest ia the metal derives from its high chemical reactivity, low melting poiat, high boiling poiat, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and high value ia use. 

Table 1. Formation of filled nanocapsules. Elements in shadowed boxes are those which were encapsulated so far. M and C under the chemical symbols represent that the trapped elements are in metallic and carbide phases, respectively. Numbers above the symbols show references.

The outstanding characteristic of the actinide elements is that their nuclei decay at a measurable rate into simpler fragments. Let us examine the general problem of nuclear stability. In Chapter 6 we mentioned that nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons, and that each type of nucleus can be described by two numbers its atomic number (the number of protons), and its mass number (the sum of the number of neutrons and protons). A certain type of nucleus is represented by the chemical symbol of the element, with the atomic number written at its lower left and the mass number written at its upper left. Thus the symbol...

Appendix 2D lists the names and chemical symbols of the elements and gives the origins of their names. 

The chemical formula of a compound represents its composition in terms of chemical symbols. Subscripts show the numbers of atoms of each element present in the smallest unit that is representative of the compound. For molecular compounds, it is common to give the molecular formula, a chemical formula that shows how many atoms of each type of element are present in a single molecule of the compound. For instance, the molecular formula for water is H20 each molecule contains one O atom and two H atoms. The molecular formula for estrone, a female sex hormone, is Clgl-I2202, showing that a single molecule of estrone consists of 18 C atoms, 22 FI atoms, and 2 O atoms. A molecule of a male sex hormone, testosterone, differs by only a few atoms its molecular formula is (lyH2802. Think of the consequences of that tiny difference ... 

In a balanced chemical equation (commonly called a chemical equation ), the same number of atoms of each element appears on both sides of the equation, chemical equilibrium A dynamic equilibrium between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, chemical formula A collection of chemical symbols and subscripts that shows the composition of a substance. See also condensed structural formula empirical formula,- molecular formula structural formula. 

Lewis symbol (for atoms and ions) The chemical symbol of an element, with a dot for each valence electron. 

Given this context, the use of chemical symbols, formulae and equations can be readily misinterpreted in the classroom, because often the same representations can stand for both the macroscopic and sub-microscopic levels. So H could stand for an atom, or the element hydrogen in an abstract sense H2 could mean a molecule or the substance. One common convention is that a chemical equation represents molar quantities, so in Example 9 in Table 4.1,... 

Chemical symbol A way of expressing an element in written form. It represents one atom and often is the first one or two letters of the name of the element. 

The chemical formula for water shows how formulas are constructed. The formula lists the symbols of all elements found in the compound, in this case H (hydrogen) and O (oxygen). A subscript number after an element s symbol denotes how many atoms of that element are present in the molecule. The subscript 2 in the formula for water indicates that each molecule contains two hydrogen atoms. No subscript is used when only one atom is present, as is the case for the oxygen atom in a water molecule. Atoms are indivisible, so molecules always contain whole numbers of atoms. Consequently, the subscripts in chemical formulas of molecular substances are always integers. We explore chemical formulas in greater detail in Chapter 3. 

An isotope is usually specified by its mass number. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons contained in a nucleus. We can represent any isotope of a chemical element completely by writing its chemical symbol (AT) preceded by a superscript giving its mass number A) and a subscript giving its atomic number (Z) Mass number A... 

Using an element identity key provided by your teacher, convert the unknown element letters (A through R) used in Data Table 2 to their actual chemical symbols. List your arrangement of the actual chemical identities in Data Table 3. Compare the arrangement of elements in Data Table 3 with an actual periodic table. How accurately does your periodic table match the actual periodic table Complete Data Table 4. 

The number of electric charges possessed by an ion (corresponding to its valency) is indicated by writing as a superscript one or more positive or negative signs after the chemical symbol for the element or the radical concerned according as to whether the ion is positive or negative in character. Thus, Na+ depicts the univalent sodium ion, Cl the univalent chloride ion, SO4- the divalent sulfate ion, and Cu2+ the divalent cupric ion.

Carbon, a common element in the outer crust of the earth, and the main component of all biological and organic substances, occurs in three isotopic forms carbon-12 or C-12 for short (whose chemical symbol is 12C), carbon-13 or C-13 (13C), and carbon-14 or C-14 (14C) (see Fig. 8 and Table 66). 

Two of these isotopes, carbon-12, the most abundant, and carbon-13 are stable. Carbon-14, on the other hand, is an unstable radioactive isotope, also known as radiocarbon, which decays by the beta decay process a beta particle is emitted from the decaying atomic nucleus and the carbon-14 atom is transformed into an isotope of another element, nitrogen-14, N-14 for short (chemical symbol 14N), the most common isotope of nitrogen ... 

The sum of the number of protons plus number of neutrons in the isotope is called the mass number of the isotope. Isotopes are usually distinguished from each other by their mass numbers, given as a superscript before the chemical symbol for the element. Carbon-twelve is an isotope of carbon with a symbol l2C.
