Periodicity of Oxides &
Lewis Dot – Diagrams
Introduction to Oxides:
1) Oxygen is the most prevalent element on Earth.
a. Free diatomic oxygen (O2) makes up about 20% of the air by volume.
b. Water is approximately 89% oxygen by mass.
c. Oxides [MxOy] are the most abundant salts in the Earth’s crust.
2) Oxygen at room temperature is fairly unreactive; its reactivity is enhanced by increasing the temperature.
3) Pure diatomic oxygen gas can be generated by the decomposition of chlorates.
a. Our reaction: 2KClO3(s)
b. Manganese dioxide is a catalyst implemented to increase the rate of the reaction.
4) Oxides can be classified by their acidity and basicity.
a. Basic oxides produce alkaline solutions (pH >7) and react with acids.
i. Most basic oxides are produced from reactions of metals with oxygen.
ii. Basic oxide synthesis: 2Ba(s) + O2(g) ( 2BaO(s)
iii. Basic oxide in water: BaO(s) + H2O(l) ( Ba(OH)2(aq)
b. Acidic oxides produce acidic solutions (pH <7) and react with bases.
i. Most acidic oxides are produced from reactions of non–metals with oxygen.
ii. Acidic oxide synthesis: Se(s) + O2(g) ( SeO2(s)
iii. Acidic oxide in water: SeO2(s) + H2O(l) ( H2SeO3(aq)
c. Amphoteric oxides can have properties of both acidic and basic oxides.
i. Many amphoteric oxides are produced from reactions of semi–metals with oxygen.
ii. Depending on the environment, amphoteric oxides can produce acid or basic compounds.
iii. Example:
1. Amphoteric oxide synthesis: 4Al(s) + 3O2(g) ( 2Al2O3(s)
2. Reaction of amphoteric oxide under basic conditions: Al2O3(s) + 3H2O(l) +2NaOH(aq) ( 2NaAl(OH)4(aq)
3. Reaction of amphoteric oxide under acidic conditions: Al2O3(s) + 3H2O(l) + 6HCl(aq) ( 2AlCl3(aq) + 6H2O(l)
The Reactive Elements: Aluminum (Al), Carbon Charcoal (C), Magnesium (Mg), Oxygen (O2), Sulfur (S8).
