   Basic laws of chemistry. stoichiometric laws.Lecture

   The stoichiometric laws explain how substances combine in terms of mass and volume in chemical reactions. they are considered the basic laws of chemistry.

   The structure of the atom. quantum numbers. electron orbitals.Lecture

   An atom is the smallest particle that holds the chemical properties of matter. an atom consists of three main parts: proton (p⁺) – located in the nucleus, positively charged. neutron (n⁰) – located in the nucleus, uncharged. electron (e⁻) – moves in the electron cloud around the nucleus, has a negative charge. almost all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus. electrons are located around the nucleus at different energy levels.

3. 3.
   Periodic law and periodic system. the electronic structure of an atomLecture

   The periodic law is expressed as follows: the properties of chemical elements and their compounds change periodically with increasing atomic number (nuclear charge). the periodic law was put forward by dmitri mendeleev, and later, after studying the structure of the atom, it was explained in its modern form based on the atomic number. the periodic table is a table in which elements are arranged according to their atomic number.

   A chemical bond is an interaction force that holds atoms together in molecules and crystals. a chemical bond is formed as a result of atoms acquiring a more stable electronic structure (usually completion of the outermost electron shell).

    Iron (fe) is one of the most abundant metals in nature. it is considered one of the main metals used by man since ancient times. iron is a silver-gray, strong and magnetic transition metal. although pure iron is soft, it becomes stronger and more durable when alloyed with different elements. iron is one of the metals that form the basis of modern industry.

15. 15.
    1. basic laws of chemistry. stoichiometric laws. determination of equivalent of zincLaboratory

    The determination of the equivalent of zinc is one of the important tasks carried out to determine the equivalent mass of the metal in chemical experiments. equivalent mass is the value indicating the mass of an element combined with 1 mole of hydrogen or 8 grams of oxygen. when zinc reacts with acids, it releases hydrogen gas, and based on this process, it is possible to calculate its equivalent.

    2. gas laws determination of the molecular mass of carbon dioxideLaboratory

    Gas laws are physical-chemical laws that study the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature and quantity of gases. the behavior of gases is mainly explained by boyle-marriott, charles and gay-lussac laws.

    3. chemical kinetics the speed of chemical reactions and the factors affecting itLaboratory

    Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry that studies the rate of chemical reactions, the factors affecting this rate, and the mechanism by which the reactions proceed. the speed of a chemical reaction is expressed by the change in the concentration of the reaction participants over a certain time.

    Electronegativity is a quantity that shows the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself during chemical bonding. this property mainly depends on the nuclear charge and electronic structure of the atom. in the periodic table: electronegativity increases as you go from left to right across a period. electronegativity decreases from top to bottom across the group. the element with the highest electronegativity is considered to be fluorine (f). the electronegativity difference determines the nature of the bond between atoms.
