A given chemical formula can mean
• different chemical compounds
• same chemical compound with different molecular geometry (isomers)
therefore only the structural formula defines
unambiguously a given chemical substance and its properties
the chemical formula is used for convenient purposes, and also for the description of chemical reactions
semmelweis-egyetem.hu
Ambiguity of a chemical formula
World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
of a compound describes the ratio of the constituents (Law of definite proportions)
of a reaction describes the ratio of the compounds
taking part in the reaction, the ratio of the reactants and products is typically an integer numbers.
• the law of conservation of mass always applies to reactions
• e.g.:
• the total number of nitrogens and hydrogens are the same on both sides

molecules/ligands, which usually donate dative bond to the metal

Grouping of chemical compounds
World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
• acids - chemical characteristics
• usually consist of one or more Hydrogen ions, and an anion (e.g. H2SO4 ⇌2H+ + SO42-)
• strength is defined by the acid dissociation constant (Ka)
• number of hydrogen ions that a molecule can donate (monoprotic, diprotic, ..., polyprotic acids)
• grouping based on the constituents
• e.g. halids, oxoacids, ...
• grouping based on the amount of water a molecule contains
• e.g. phosphoric acid: P2O5 + n H2O, meta- (n=1), pyro- (n=2), ortho- (n=3),

• bases - chemical characteristics
• usually consist of one or more hydroxide ion and a cation (e.g. Ca(OH)2 ⇌2OH- + Ca2+)
• strength is defined by the base dissociation constant (Kb)
• the dissociation constant of the conjugate acid (BH+) is also a good definition (BH+ + OH- ⇌ B + H2O, which is the reverse reaction of the dissociation equilibrium)
• number of hydroxyl ions that a molecule can dissociate
• grouping based on constituents
• hydroxyl group, thiol group,...
• grouping based on the amount of water a molecule

Grouping of inorganic compounds
World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
• salts - chemical characteristics , composition
• product of the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base
• based on the original strength of the acid and base
• normal salt (e.g. K2SO4 )
where the acid and base have similar strength
• acid salts (e.g. NaHSO4 )
where the acid is stronger than the base
• basic/alkali salts (e.g. Na2CO3 )
where the base is stronger than the acid

World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
• salts - chemical characteristics, composition
• mixed salts (two different acids or bases are used in the neutralization reaction)
(e.g. Ca(OH)Cl +HF = CaFCl + H2O )
• cocrystals
two or more salts are crystallized simultaneously
• double salts (e.g. KAl(SO4)2 from K2SO4 and Al2(SO4)3)

• Life on Earth depends on this molecule
• composition: H2O
• structure is not linear, but tetrahedral, since the Oxygen atom (electron structure: 1s2 2s2 2p4)
is in a sp3 hybrid state with 6 valence electrons and the electrons from the two Hydrogen, altogether 8
electrons = 4 electron pairs, i.e. tetrahedral molecular geometry
• the oxygen atom has two non-bondin electron pairs in two spatial directions

World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
• the tetrahedral geometry is the source of the unique properties of water
• polar molecule (has a dipole moment of 1.85 Debyes)
• a multitude of water molecules can develop secondary bonds between each other
• develops Hydrogen bonds, max. 4 per molecule
• due to the high number of Hydrogen bonds it is liquid at room temperature
• compared to NH3 which is a gas, since it can develop fewer Hydrogen bonds per molecule

• develops hydrogen bonds with capable molecules
• develops a solvation shell around ionic compounds (mode of solving these compounds)
• crystallizes into several different types of phases (molecular lattice)

Different phases of crystalline water
World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
• density of water is lowest at 4 º C
• between 0 and 4ºC liquid water still contains ordered crystalline structured Hydrogen bonds
which is a less dense spatial molecular distribution
• above 4ºC the random motion from heat
compensates this and the density is monotonously increasing until 100ºC
• water is one of the few liquids which have a very low compressibility (often termed incompressible)
semmelweis-egyetem.hu
Properties of water
World of Molecules: Chemical compounds, stoichiometry
• water is a neutral molecule but has amphoteric nature
• but due to the high amount of Hydrogen bonds in liquid state the following reaction occurs
• H2O + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + OH–
• it is called autodissociation or autoprotolysis
• amphoteric: it can act as an acid and also as a base
• the corresponding dissociation constant is Kw=10-14 M2
• i.e. the concentration of each ion in equilibrium is c=10-7 M
• so, even in distilled water there are some ions present
