Study Notes

Matter and its Properties

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space.
Natural gas is an example of matter.
Examples of matter include clouds and rocks.
Examples of things that are not matter include sound, electricity, and X-rays.
Density is a physical property.
Corrosive, boiling point, oxidizer, mass, poisonous, and ductile are also physical properties.
If two objects have the same volume but one has a greater mass, the one with greater mass has a higher density.
Alcohol is less dense than water. If you measure the mass of the same volume of alcohol and water, the water would have a greater mass.
The densities of substances of the same material can vary if mass and volume vary.

Density

Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume (D=m/v)
Density is expressed in g/cm³.
If two objects have the same volume, the denser object has a greater mass.

Laboratory Equipment

A meter stick is used to measure length.
Grams are used to measure mass.

Periodic Table

Carbon is in Group IVA.
Tin is in Period 5.
Elements in Group 6A (VIA) include tellurium, selenium, and oxygen.
Thallium is a metal.
Neon is a non-metal.
Strontium is a metal.
Tellurium is a metalloid.
Sodium is a metal
Bromine is a non-metal.

Metals and Nonmetals

Metals typically have a shiny luster, are ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Nonmetals typically lack luster, are brittle, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Metalloids have properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals. Their properties can vary.

Atomic Structure

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Protons have a positive charge.
Neutrons have no charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.

Subatomic Particles

Protons and neutrons have a relative mass of approximately 1 amu.
Electrons have a negligible mass.
Electrons have a negative charge.

Atomic Number

Atomic number of potassium is 19.

Atomic Mass

Mass number of an element is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons.

Isotopes

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.

Ionic Bonding

Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
The result is positive and negative Ions that attract .
Atoms are more stable when they have a full valence shell.
Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a non-metal.

Nomenclature

For naming binary ionic compounds, the cation is named first, followed by the anion.
For naming covalent compounds, prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the compound.

Covalent Bonds

Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
Covalent bonds occur between nonmetals.
