The three main categories of chemical compounds are acids, bases and salts. These compounds are always part of our daily lives in terms of what we eat and use. The human body contains some very common acids like dilute hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which aids in digestion of food. If the contents of our stomach become too acidic, it results to a burning sensation in the stomach. Acids and bases also regulate metabolic activities in the human body through equilibrium processes. Acids contain hydrogen ions (H+). A base is a substance, which on dissolving in water yields hydroxyl ions (OH-) as the only negative ions. Salts are formed by the combination of an acid and base.

An element is the simplest form of matter that cannot be split into simpler substances or built from simpler substances by any ordinary chemical or physical method. There are 118 elements known to us, out of which 92 are naturally occurring, while the rest have been prepared artificially. Elements are further classified into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties, which are correlated with their placement in the periodic table.Metals
With the exception of hydrogen, all elements that form positive ions by losing electrons during chemical reactions are called metals. Thus metals are electropositive elements with relatively low ionization energies. They are characterized by bright luster, hardness, ability to resonate sound and are excellent conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are solids under normal conditions except for Mercury.Nonmetals
Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-metals. These are electronegative elements with high ionization energies. They are non-lustrous, brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite). Non-metals can be gases, liquids or solids.Metalloids
Metalloids have properties intermediate between the metals and nonmetals. Metalloids are useful in the semiconductor industry. Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. They can form alloys with other metals. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semiconductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable nor ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals). It is a much poorer conductor of heat and electricity than the metals. The physical properties of metalloids tend to be metallic, but their chemical properties tend to be non-metallic. The oxidation number of an element in this group can range from +5 to -2, depending on the group in which it is located.

A reaction intermediate or an intermediate is a molecular entity that is formed from the reactants (or preceding intermediates) and reacts further to give the directly observed products of a chemical reaction.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Language of Chemistry
Symbol
The specific abbreviation used to denote the name of an element is called its symbol.
Significance of a Symbol
1. A symbol represents a short form of an element.
2. It represents one atom of the element.
3. It indicates the atomic weight of an element. The quantity of the element is equal to its atomic mass or
gram atomic mass or atomic mass unit (amu).
Symbol of Elements
In 1807, John Dalton, a scientist, tried to name the various elements based on pictorial symbols.
Symbols of some elements as proposed by Dalton are shown in the diagram.
In 1814, the Swedish Chemist Jöns Jakob Berzelius devised a system using letters of the alphabet.
He put forward certain points for presentation.
1. In most cases, the first letter of the name of an element was taken as the symbol for that element
and written in capitals.
Name Symbol
Carbon C
Nitrogen N
Hydrogen H
2. In some cases, the initial letter of the name in capital along with its second letter in small was used.
Name Symbol
Calcium Ca
Aluminium Al
Silicon Si
3. The symbols for some elements were derived from their Latin names.
English name of
the element
Latin name of the
element

Sodium Natrium Na
Potassium Kalium K
Iron Ferrum Fe
Copper Cuprum Cu
Silver Argentum Ag
Gold Aurum Au
Mercury Hydragyrum Hg
Lead Plumbum Pb
Tin Stannum Sn
3. CHEMISTRY THE LANGUAGE OF CHEMISTRY
www.topperlearning.com 3
The symbols of elements in use today are those as first suggested by the Swedish chemist Berzelius.
The method suggested by Berzelius forms the basis of the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry) system of chemical symbols and formulae.
The names and symbols decided by IUPAC are used all over the world for international trade.
Modern Symbols of Elements
The modern symbols of elements are derived from their English or Latin names which are made up of
either the first letter or a letter appearing later in the name.

Valency
Valency is the combining capacity of an atom or a radical.
For example, valency of carbon is 4 because it combines with four atoms of hydrogen to yield
methane (CH4).
Valency with respect to Hydrogen atom
The number of hydrogen atoms which combines with or displaces one atom of that element or
radical. The valency is taken to be 1 and is considered as standard.
Modern definition of valency
The number of electrons which an atom can lose, gain or share during a chemical reaction to attain
the stable configuration of the nearest inert gas element is called its valency.
Valence electrons
The electrons present in the outermost shell or valence shell are known as valence electrons.
Definition of valency with respect to valence electrons
The number of electrons donated or accepted or shared by its atom during a chemical reaction is
called valence electrons, and the number of these electrons is called the valency of that element.
Variable valency
Sometimes, the same element may exhibit one valency in one compound and another valency in
other compound. This property is called variable valency.

Examples:
Element Symbol Valencies exhibited

Copper Cu 1, 2
Iron Fe 2, 3
Sulphur S 2, 3, 4
Ions or Radicals
An ion or radical is an atom or a group of atoms of same or different elements which behave as a single
unit with a positive or negative ion.
Radicals have their own combining power based on which they form chemical formulae.
Classification of ions or radicals depending on their number of charges
The number of charges indicates the number of electrons lost or gained by the atom or group of atoms.
Depending on the number of charges, 1, 2, 3 or 4, the ions or radicals are described as monovalent,
divalent, trivalent and tetravalent, respectively.

Molecular formula or Chemical formula
A molecular formula, also known as a chemical formula, is a combination of elemental symbols and
subscript numbers which is used to show the composition of a compound.
Examples:
Silica is represented as SiO2.
Marble is represented as CaCO3.
Writing the Chemical Formulae
Step 1: Write the symbol of a basic radical (element with positive valency) to the left-hand side and that of
the acid radical (element with negative valency) to the right-hand side.
Step 2: Write the valency of each of the respective radicals at the right-hand top of its symbol.
Step 3: Divide the valency by their highest common factor (HCF), if any, to get the simple ratio. Ignore
(+) or (−) symbols of the radicals.
Step 4: Cross the reduced valencies. If 1 appears, then ignore it. If a group of atoms receives a valency
more than 1, then enclose it within brackets.
Magnesium chloride Ammonium sulphate
Example of magnesium chloride and ammonium sulphate
Significance of Molecular Formula
The molecular formula of a compound has quantitative significance. It represents
1. The name of the substance.
2. Both the molecule and the molecular mass of the compound.
3. The respective numbers of different atoms present in one molecule of a compound.
4. The ratios of the respective masses of the elements present in the compound.
Chemical Equation
A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction with the help of chemical
formulae of the reactants and products in the reaction.
The reaction can be represented by either a word equation or by a chemical equation using symbols and
formulae.

Skeletal Equation
A chemical equation in which the total number of atoms of each element on the reactant’s side is not
equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the product’s side is called an unbalanced
equation. This equation is also called a skeletal equation.
The number of oxygen atoms in the reactant on the left-hand side is not equal to the number of oxygen
atoms on the right-hand side.
Balanced Chemical Equation
The equation in which the total number of atoms of each element in the reactants on the left-hand side of
the equation is the same as the number of atoms in the products formed on the right-hand side of the
equation is called a balanced chemical equation.
Balancing of a Chemical Equation
A. Hit and Trial Method
In this method of balancing chemical equations, trials are made to balance the equation by using the
smallest whole number coefficient. Hence, this method is called the hit and trial method.
i. Count the number of times an element occurs on both sides.
ii. An element with the least frequency of occurrence is balanced first.
iii. When two or more elements have same frequency, metallic elements are balanced first.
Example: Pb(NO3)2 PbO + NO2 + O2
In this equation,
Component Reactant Product
Lead 1 1
Nitrogen 2 1
Oxygen 6 5
The balanced equation is
2Pb(NO3)2 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2
B. Balancing a chemical equation by the partial equation method
A chemical equation can be balanced easily by supposing a stepwise complex reaction to take place.
Write equations for these steps and then add these equations. This method is known as balancing by the
partial equation method.
