Today we begin our acquaintance with the most important classes of inorganic compounds. Inorganic substances are divided by composition, as you already know, into simple and complex.

Complex inorganic substances are divided into four classes: oxides, acids, bases, salts. We start with the oxide class.

OXIDES

oxides - these are complex substances consisting of two chemical elements, one of which is oxygen, with a valence equal to 2. Only one chemical element - fluorine, combining with oxygen, forms not an oxide, but oxygen fluoride OF 2.
They are called simply - "oxide + element name" (see table). If the valency of a chemical element is variable, then it is indicated by a Roman numeral enclosed in round brackets, after the name of a chemical element.

Classification of oxides

All oxides can be divided into two groups: salt-forming (basic, acidic, amphoteric) and non-salt-forming or indifferent.

1). Basic oxides are oxides that correspond to bases. The main oxides are oxides metals 1 and 2 groups, as well as metals side subgroups with valence I and II (except ZnO - zinc oxide and BeO – beryllium oxide):

2). Acid oxides are oxides to which acids correspond. Acid oxides are non-metal oxides (except for non-salt-forming - indifferent), as well as metal oxides side subgroups with valence from V before VII (For example, CrO 3 is chromium (VI) oxide, Mn 2 O 7 is manganese (VII) oxide):

3). Amphoteric oxides are oxides, which correspond to bases and acids. These include metal oxides main and secondary subgroups with valence III , sometimes IV , as well as zinc and beryllium (For example, BeO, ZnO, Al 2 O 3, Cr 2 O 3).

4). Non-salt-forming oxides are oxides that are indifferent to acids and bases. These include non-metal oxides with valence I and II (For example, N 2 O, NO, CO).

Conclusion: the nature of the properties of oxides primarily depends on the valency of the element.

For example, chromium oxides:

CrO(II- main);

Cr 2 O 3 (III- amphoteric);

CrO 3 (VII- acid).

Classification of oxides

(by solubility in water)

Complete the tasks:

1. Write down separately the chemical formulas of salt-forming acidic and basic oxides.

NaOH, AlCl 3 , K 2 O, H 2 SO 4 , SO 3 , P 2 O 5 , HNO 3 , CaO, CO.

2. Substances are given : CaO, NaOH, CO 2 , H 2 SO 3 , CaCl 2 , FeCl 3 , Zn(OH) 2 , N 2 O 5 , Al 2 O 3 , Ca(OH) 2 , CO 2 , N 2 O, FeO, SO 3 , Na 2 SO 4 , ZnO, CaCO 3 , Mn 2 O 7 , CuO, KOH, CO, Fe(OH) 3

Physical properties of oxides

At room temperature most oxides are solids (CaO, Fe 2 O 3, etc.), some are liquids (H 2 O, Cl 2 O 7, etc.) and gases (NO, SO 2, etc.).

Chemical properties of oxides

Application of oxides

Some oxides do not dissolve in water, but many react with water to combine:

SO 3 + H 2 O \u003d H 2 SO 4

CaO + H 2 O = Ca( Oh) 2

As a result, very necessary and useful compounds. For example, H 2 SO 4 is sulfuric acid, Ca (OH) 2 is slaked lime, etc.

If oxides are insoluble in water, then people skillfully use this property as well. For example, zinc oxide ZnO is a substance white color, so it is used to make white oil paint(zinc white). Since ZnO is practically insoluble in water, any surface can be painted with zinc white, including those that are exposed to atmospheric precipitation. Insolubility and non-toxicity make it possible to use this oxide in the manufacture of cosmetic creams and powders. Pharmacists make it an astringent and drying powder for external use.

Titanium oxide (IV) - TiO 2 has the same valuable properties. It also has a beautiful white color and is used to make titanium white. TiO 2 is insoluble not only in water, but also in acids; therefore, coatings made of this oxide are particularly stable. This oxide is added to plastic to give it a white color. It is part of the enamels for metal and ceramic utensils.

Chromium oxide (III) - Cr 2 O 3 - very strong crystals of dark green color, insoluble in water. Cr 2 O 3 is used as a pigment (paint) in the manufacture of decorative green glass and ceramics. The well-known GOI paste (short for the name “State Optical Institute”) is used for grinding and polishing optics, metal products in jewelry.

Acid oxides are quite large group complex substances that react with alkalis. When this occurs, the formation of salts. But they do not interact with acids.

Acid oxides are formed predominantly by non-metals. For example, this group includes sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine. In addition, substances with the same properties can be formed from the so-called transition elements with a valence of five to seven.

Acid oxides, when interacting with water, can form acids. Each has a corresponding oxide. For example, sulfur oxides form sulfate and sulfite acids, and phosphorus oxides form ortho- and metaphosphate acids.

Acid oxides and methods for their preparation

There are several basic methods for

The most common method is the oxidation of non-metal atoms with oxygen. For example, when phosphorus reacts with oxygen, phosphorus oxide is obtained. Of course, this method is not always possible.

Another fairly common reaction is the so-called roasting of oxygen sulfides. In addition, oxides are also obtained by the reaction of certain salts with acids.

Sometimes laboratories use a slightly different technique. During the reaction, water is taken away from the corresponding acid - a process of dehydration occurs. By the way, that is why acid oxides are also known under a different name - acid anhydrides.

Chemical properties of acid oxides

As already mentioned, anhydrides can interact with basic oxides or alkalis. As a result of such a reaction, a salt of the corresponding acid is formed, and when reacting with a base, water is also formed. It is this process that characterizes the basic acidic properties of oxides. In addition, anhydrides do not interact with acids.

Another property of these substances is the possibility of reaction with amphoric bases and oxides. As a result of this process, salts are also formed.

In addition, some anhydrides react with water. As a result of this process, the formation of the corresponding acid is observed. In this way, in laboratory conditions, for example, sulfuric acid.

The most common anhydrides: a brief description of

The most common and well-known acidic oxide is carbon dioxide. This substance under normal conditions is a colorless gas, odorless, but with a slight sour taste.

By the way, at atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide can exist either in a gaseous state or in a solid state. It is this property that is used to store the substance.

Carbon dioxide belongs to the group of greenhouse gases, because it actively absorbs emitted by the earth while retaining heat in the atmosphere. However, this substance is very important for the life of organisms. Carbon dioxide is found in our planet's atmosphere. In addition, it is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis.

Sulfuric anhydride, or sulfur trioxide, is another representative of this group of substances. Under normal conditions, it is a colorless, highly volatile liquid with an unpleasant, asphyxiating odor. This oxide is very important in chemical industry, since the bulk of sulfuric acid is produced from it.

Silicon oxide is another fairly well-known substance, which in its normal state is a crystal. By the way, sand consists of this compound. when heated, it can melt and solidify. This property is used in the manufacture of glass. In addition, the substance practically does not conduct electricity, so I use it as a dielectric.

Non-salt-forming (indifferent, indifferent) oxides CO, SiO, N 2 0, NO.

Salt-forming oxides:

Basic. Oxides whose hydrates are bases. Metal oxides with oxidation states +1 and +2 (rarely +3). Examples: Na 2 O - sodium oxide, CaO - calcium oxide, CuO - copper (II) oxide, CoO - cobalt (II) oxide, Bi 2 O 3 - bismuth (III) oxide, Mn 2 O 3 - manganese (III) oxide ).

Amphoteric. Oxides whose hydrates are amphoteric hydroxides. Metal oxides with oxidation states +3 and +4 (rarely +2). Examples: Al 2 O 3 - aluminum oxide, Cr 2 O 3 - chromium (III) oxide, SnO 2 - tin (IV) oxide, MnO 2 - manganese (IV) oxide, ZnO - zinc oxide, BeO - beryllium oxide.

Acid. Oxides whose hydrates are oxygen-containing acids. Oxides of non-metals. Examples: P 2 O 3 - phosphorus oxide (III), CO 2 - carbon monoxide (IV), N 2 O 5 - nitrogen oxide (V), SO 3 - sulfur oxide (VI), Cl 2 O 7 - chlorine oxide ( VII). Metal oxides with oxidation states +5, +6 and +7. Examples: Sb 2 O 5 - antimony (V) oxide. CrOz - chromium (VI) oxide, MnOz - manganese (VI) oxide, Mn 2 O 7 - manganese (VII) oxide.

(only for oxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals) (except for SiO 2).

Amphoteric oxides, having the properties of both basic and acidic oxides, interact with strong acids and alkalis:

2. Redox properties

If an element has a variable oxidation state (s. o.), then its oxides with low s. about. can exhibit reducing properties, and oxides with high c. about. - oxidative.

Examples of reactions in which oxides act as reducing agents:

Oxidation of oxides with low s. about. to oxides with high s. about. elements.

2C +2 O + O 2 \u003d 2C +4 O 2

2S +4 O 2 + O 2 \u003d 2S +6 O 3

2N +2 O + O 2 \u003d 2N +4 O 2

Carbon monoxide (II) reduces metals from their oxides and hydrogen from water.

C +2 O + FeO \u003d Fe + 2C +4 O 2

C +2 O + H 2 O \u003d H 2 + 2C +4 O 2

Examples of reactions in which oxides act as oxidizing agents:

Recovery of oxides with high o.d. elements to oxides with low s. about. or down to simple substances.

C +4 O 2 + C \u003d 2C +2 O

2S +6 O 3 + H 2 S \u003d 4S +4 O 2 + H 2 O
