Study Notes
- Matter and energy are the two main categories of things in our environment.
- Matter is that which occupies space and has mass.
- Classification of matter: Pure substances (Elements, Compounds), Physical nature (Solid, Liquid, Gas), Chemical composition (Homogeneous mixtures, Heterogeneous mixtures).
- Atoms are the basic units of matter.
- Atoms consist of subatomic particles: Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons.
- Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.
- Nuclear model introduced to explain organization of particles in matter.
- Nucleus, a small area at the center of an atom, contains most of an atom's mass.
- Size of a nucleus is even smaller than a chickpea.
