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).

NaBr Top layer of solution turned a milky color and slowly spread throughout
NaI Slow reaction. Went from a translucent yellow to a bluish color

Observations during and after reaction with aqueous HCl
Mg Immediately bubbled. Condensation and steam produced. Test tube was warm
Al Slow reaction. Solution bubbled and aluminum piece dissolved in solution
Si No reaction observed
Discussion:
In this lab we observed physical and chemical properties. For example, we observed a
chemical reaction when magnesium was introduced to oxygen. It produced a bright white flame.
Changes in color are physical changes like when AgNO3 was introduced to NaI.
Conclusion:
Some chemicals are more reactive than other. We can observe physical and some
chemical changes when we mixing chemicals together.

The lab notebook guidelines are included in this document.
1. Each lab period, in addition to coming to lab properly dressed, a pre-lab must be
prepared for the lab you are scheduled to perform that day. Failure to come to lab
without a complete pre-lab and improper dress will result in dismissal from the week’s
lab with a zero point allocation.
a. Each pre-lab should include the following sections: Name, Title, Date, Unknown,
Purpose, Balanced Equations, Table of Chemical and Physical Properties,
Procedure and an incomplete data table under Data Collected. This should be
uploaded on CANVAS before the start of lab and will be scanned for plagiarism.
This is due at the beginning of the lab period (mandatory).
2. Do not leave without checking out with your professor. You are allowed to use any
notebook or electronic notebook for this lab. Binded lab notebook is not needed for this
lab.
3. Lab reports (post-lab) are due 1 week following the completion of a lab. Each lab is
worth 100 points, comprising of pre and post lab. Your professor will provide further
instructions for completing your lab report.
a. Reports that are suspected to be plagiarized will be reported to the Dean, as
potential violators of the Academic Dishonesty guidelines (procedure 5026). This
will result in an F in the class. Self-plagiarism is also considered plagiarism.
4. The final lab report (post-lab) should comprise of 1) pre-lab sections, 2) Data collected,
3) Observations, 4) Discussion and 5) Conclusion and should be uploaded to CANVAS
placeholder.
Please upload at correct placeholder for each lab. Resubmissions are not allowed.
Please keep an eye on similarity score after submission.

Laboratory Notebook Guidelines
A proper laboratory notebook is one from which a given laboratory experiment can be repeated
by another chemist. Another chemist, chemical engineer or chemical patent lawyer should be
able to read your notebook and understand what you did and the results you obtained.
1. Every experiment should include the following sections listed below.
Title
Name
Date
Unknown (if any)
Purpose Describe the goal of the experiment.
Balanced Equation(s) (if any)
Table of Chemical and Physical Properties (including reference information, if
necessary)
Procedure & Do not provide a detailed, step-by-step procedure. The procedure is in
numerical form and should give the reader a general description of the procedure and any
special experimental details.
Observations . Throughout the lab, be sure to include any relevant observations: What
mass or volume did YOU use? Was the product a solid, liquid, gel, red precipitate, green
solution, etc?
Data Collected A sample data table is provided in each lab write-up. Record the
quantities of materials you used in the experiment. This includes calculations using
formulas, percent yield, percent error, etc.
Discussion Discussion should correlate expected data with obtained data in scientific
terms, without personal opinion.
Conclusion Conclusion should scientifically critic the success of the experiment, without
personal opinion and without over emphasis on errors.
The following sections must be completed prior to lab in the form of PRE-lab and uploaded to
CANVAS in correct placeholder: Name, Title, Date, Unknown, Purpose, Balanced Equations,
Table of Chemical and Physical Properties, Procedure and an incomplete data table under Data
Collected.
** All post-labs are due at the beginning of the next lab period on CANVAS, unless otherwise
specified. Each lab write-up is worth 100 points, including pre and post lab.
Banerjee
Lab reports must be written independently of lab partners,
students in other lab sections, and previous semesters’
students. Reports that are suspected to be plagiarized from any
of the previous sources will be submitted to the Dean, as
potential violators of the Academic Dishonesty guidelines
(procedure 5026). This will result in an F in the class.
