ATOMIC STRUCTURE

CLASS 7
Radicals
• A group of atoms possessing either
positive or negative charge by losing or
gaining one or more electrons is called
radical.
• It behaves as a single unit with positive
or negative charge.
• Basic Radical: Have positive charge and
called cations. Metallic ions and
ammonium ion.
• Acid Radical: Negative charge and called
Anions.
• Non-metallic atoms and groups of non
metallic atoms are acid radicals.
Valency
• The number of electrons gained or lost by an atom
of an element for attaining the stable octet
configuration is called valency.
• The combining capacity of an element or of a
radical.
• The electrons in an atom are distributed in the
shells of an atom. The last shell electrons play an
important role while combining with other atoms.
• The last shell of an atom is called its valence shell.
• The electrons in the valence shell are called
valence electrons.
• The valence electrons take part in chemical
reactions.
• The number of valence electrons determines the
chemical reactivity of the element.
Valency of First 20 elements.
VARIABLE VALENCY.
• Some metals may lose different number
of electrons to form ions with different
charges.
• This is called variable valency.
• In some cases, the electrons are also lost
from the shell inner to the valence shell.
• Example: iron loses two electrons from
its valence shell to form Fe+2 and loses
one more electron from the shell inner to
the valence shell to form Fe+3.
• The ‘ous’ suffix is added to the name of
the ion which exhibits lower valency,
• whereas the ion with higher valency is
named by adding ‘ic’ suffix.
Criss cross method
• In the criss-cross method,
the numerical value of the
ion charge of the two
atoms are crossed over,
which becomes the
subscript of the other ion.
Using this technique, we
will write the chemical
formula of
Examples
Give the formula of the following
• Sodium Oxide
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Sodium Chloride
• Potassium Oxide
• Potassium Hydroxide
• Potassium Chloride
• Sodium Carbonate
• Potassium Bromide
• Potassium Sulphate
• Zinc Sulphate
Chemical Reaction
• A chemical reaction is in which the bonds are broken within
reactant molecules, and new bonds are formed within product
molecules in order to form a new substance.
• A Chemical Reaction is a process that occurs when two or more
molecules interact to form a new product(s).
• Compounds that interact to produce new compounds are called
reactants whereas the newly formed compounds are called
products.
Chemical Equation
• Due to the vast amounts of chemical reactions happening around us, a
nomenclature was developed to simplify how we express a chemical
reaction in the form of a chemical equation. A chemical equation is
nothing but a mathematical statement which symbolizes the product
formation from reactants while stating certain condition for which how
the reaction has been conducted.
• The reactants are on the left-hand side whereas the products formed
are on the right-hand side. The reactants and products are connected
by a one-headed or two-headed arrows.
• For example, a reaction
•A+B→C+D
• Here, A and B are the reactants, which
react to form the products C and D.
• In an actual chemical equation,
reactants are denoted by
their chemical formula. In order to
assure the law of conservation of mass,
a chemical equation must be balanced
i.e. the number of atoms on both sides
must be equal. This is the balancing of
the equation.
• Let us consider an actual chemical
reaction between Methane(CH₄) and
Oxygen (O2),
