  16. HNO3 Produced from NH3 by Ostwald process (catalytic oxidation). Uses: fertilizer NH3 + HNO3 NH4NO3(s) strong acid strong oxidizing agent. cleaning agent to make explosives (e.g. nitroglycerine, TNT)

  17. Hydrolysis of oxides Hydrolysis: reaction with water N is a non metal: oxides are acidic. Oxide + H2O = hydroxide N2O3 + H2O  2HNO2(nitrous acid) 3NO2 + H2O  2HNO3 +NO N2O5 + H2O  2HNO3(nitric acid)

  18. PHOSPHORUS Source: Phosphate Minerals Ca3(PO4)2 contains PO43- (tetrahedral P) P is made by heating Ca3(PO4)2 and coke in an electric furnace. 2Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 10C(s) + 6SiO2 6CaSiO3(s) + 10CO(g) + P4(g)

  20. OXIDES OF PHOSPHORUS

  21. PHOSPHORUS OXYACIDS P4O10 + 6H2O  4H3PO4phosphoric acid P4O6 + 6H2O  4H3PO3 phosphorous acid Also H3PO2 hypophosphorous acid

  23. COMPARISONS IN GROUP V NitrogenN2(g) NN NH3 is stable. Non-metal  oxides dissolve to give acidic solutions N2O3 + H2O 2HNO2 N2O5 + H2O  2HNO3 3NO2 + H2O  2HNO3 + NO

  24. PHOSPHORUS Allotropes: White P  P4, tetrahedral. Red P  polymer. PH3 burns in air. Non-metal  oxides dissolve to give acidic solutions: P4O10 + 6H2O  4H3PO4 P4O6 + 6H2O  4H3PO3

  25. ARSENIC Allotropes: Yellow As  As4 Gray As  brittle solid. AsH3ignites spontaneously in air. As4O10– acidic oxide: As4O10 + 6H2O  4H3AsO4 As4O6 is amphoteric, but is more soluble in base.

  26. ANTIMONY – Sb Brittle gray metalloid. Sb4O6 is amphoteric. There is no Sb4O10. BISMUTH - Bi Bismuth is a metal. Bi4O6 is basic and dissolves only in acids. Bi(OH)3 is basic. Bi5+ is rare.

  27. OXIDATION STATES • P5+ dominates. • As3+, As5+ are equally common. • Sb3+ dominates. • Bi3+ dominates. • Inert Pair Effect • HYDRIDE STABILITY • NH3 is stable. • PH3 is stable but burns in air. • AsH3 decomposes easily. • SbH3, BiH3 are very unstable.

  28. GROUP V TRENDS Going down the periodic table: 1) Electronegativity decreases. 2) Switch from non-metallic to metallic. 3) Hydroxides and oxides become more basic. 4) Hydrides become less stable. 5)“Inert pair effect”becomes more pronounced: +3 becomes more stable as compared to +5.

  29. CARBON and Group IV • Carbon Sources: • Elemental form – coal. • Carbonate rocks (CO32-) • Limestone, marble, chalk = CaCO3 • Dolomite = MgCO3

  30. ALLOTROPIC FORMS OF CARBON • 1) Diamond - used as abrasive, in drill bits and cutting tools, and as a gem. • 2) Graphite - used in batteries, pencils, and lubricants. • 3) Fullerenes - More recently discovered molecules such as C60 which has the shape of a soccer ball. • Carbon Black – Soot • Amorphous form of carbon used in tires, inks, pigments, and carbon paper.

  31. 1) Ionic Carbides • Contain C4- or C22- (-CC-) • C4-: Be2C, Al4C3 react with water to give CH4. • C22-(-CC-): CaC2 reacts with water to give HCCH. • 2) Covalent Carbides • Carbon is bound covalently to a metal or metalloid. • SiC - almost as hard as diamond, does not react w/water • 3) Interstitial Carbides • Metals with carbon atoms found in between the metal atoms in the structure. • Steel – often harder than the pure metal. CARBIDES

  32. SILICON Second most abundant element. Found in combination with O. Silicate Minerals: [Si2O52-]n, SiO44- Sand: SiO2 (this is also quartz). With aluminum in aluminosilicates (clay, feldspars). Prepared by: SiO2(s) + 2C(s)  Si(l) + 2CO(g) (3000C) sand coke 98% Very pure silicon (<1 ppb impurity) is required for electronics applications.

  33. Going down the periodic table: • 1) The +2 oxidation state becomes more stable than +4 due to the “inert pair” effect. • +2 is rare for C, Si, Ge. • +2 in some compounds, +4 most common for Sn. • +4 is unstable for Pb  strong oxidizing agent (PbO2) • 2) Basicity of oxides and hydroxides increases. • CO2, SiO2, GeO2 are weakly acidic. • SnO, SnO2, PbO are amphoteric. • 3) Hydrides become less stable. • Enormous number of stable hydrocarbons. • SiH4 is stable but is spontaneously flammable. • Ge, Sn, Pb hydrides are very unstable. GROUP IV TRENDS

  34. 2s Li Be 2p B C N O F 3s 3p Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Orbital Hybrids and Valence The differences between the 2nd and 3rd periods: 2nd period: Only s and p orbitals are possible with n = 2 Therefore, the maximum number of bonds is 4 (single and/or double bonds) Examples: CH4, NF4+, BH4- 3rd (and higher periods): can use d-orbitals to make bonds E.g. PF5 P atom is sp3d SF6 S atom is sp3d2

  35. Let’s look at valences: N can gain 3 electrons or lose 5 to make an octet But, N can only make 4 bonds (maxiumum for n=2) Therefore N usually has a valence of 3 (NH3, NCl3, CH3NH2 - all have 3 bonds and one lone pair on the N atom) N with oxidation state 5 never has more than four bonds: O e.g., NO3- N=O (4 bonds to N) O NO2+ O=N=O (4 bonds to N, like CO2) Likewise, O usually makes 2 bonds: H2O, OF2, H2C=O

  36. Likewise, C can gain 4 or lose 4 electrons to make an octet (valence = 4) So carbon always makes 4 bonds CH4(4 single bonds) O=C=O (2 double bonds) H-CC-H (1 single + 1 triple bond) H2N C=O (2 single + 1 double bond) H2N (urea) What about 3rd (and higher) periods - Si, P, S…? For these elements, double bonds are very uncommon (usually only single bonds)

  37. So CO2 is molecular (O=C=O, has double bonds) But SiO2 (quartz, sand, glass…) is a 3-dimensional solid network: O2 is molecular (O=O, has a double bond) But S forms rings (e.g., S8)

  38. Nitrogen (N2) has a triple bond NN (very stable molecule) • But phosphorus is found in several forms (white, red, black), all of which have only single bonds. • The chemistry of carbon is unique because: • It has a valence of 4 (highest in 2nd period) • It can make stable bonds with itself • It can make multiple bonds to C, N, O • The C-H bond is nonpolar, but bonds to other elements (N, O, halogens) are polar • This is why life is based on the chemistry of carbon (organic chemistry)
