Study Notes
Matter Classification
- Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
- Pure substances have a definite composition, either a single type of atom or multiple atoms in a fixed ratio
- Mixtures have varying compositions and can be homogeneous (uniform) or heterogeneous (non-uniform)
- Elements are made of only one type of atom
- Compounds are formed by combining different elements in a fixed ratio
Flowchart of Matter Classification
- Matter is the overarching category, branching into Mixtures and Pure Substances
- Mixtures are further subdivided into Homogeneous and Heterogeneous mixtures
- Pure substances are further categorized into Elements and Compounds
Properties of Matter
- Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts with other substances
- Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance's composition
- Examples of chemical properties: flammability, toxicity, pH, reactivity
- Examples of physical properties: color, length, mass, volume, hardness, luster, malleability, ductility
States of Matter
- Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas
- Physical changes occur when the state of matter transforms, like melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, sublimation, and deposition
- Chemical changes involve the formation of new substances with different properties
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- All matter is composed of atoms
- Atoms of the same element are identical
- Atoms of different elements are different
- Atoms of different elements can combine to form compounds
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed
Scientists and Atomic Understanding
- Democritus proposed the concept of atoms as indivisible particles
- John Dalton formulated atomic theory, proposing the existence of atoms as the fundamental building blocks
- J.J. Thomson discovered electrons using a cathode ray tube, demonstrating the atom's subatomic nature
- Ernest Rutherford conducted the gold foil experiment, revealing the nucleus's existence and its positive charge
- Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom with electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels
Atomic Structure
- The atom consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud
- The nucleus contains protons (positively charged) and neutrons (no charge)
- Electrons (negatively charged) occupy the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus
- The number of protons defines the element's identity
- The number of neutrons can vary, creating isotopes
Isotopes and Ions
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
- Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons
- Cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons
- Anions are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons
Periodic Table Trends
- Atomic Radii: Increases down a group (more energy levels) and decreases across a period (greater attraction to the nucleus)
- Metallic Properties: Increase down a group and decrease across a period
- Ionization Energy: Increases up a group (closer to the nucleus, harder to remove electron) and increases across a period (greater attraction to the nucleus)
Chemical Changes
- Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different properties
- Observations that indicate a chemical change include: production of gas (bubbles), odor change, color change, temperature change, precipitate formation
Bohr Model and Lewis Dot Structures
- Bohr Model: Depicts electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels, useful for visualizing electron configuration
- Lewis Dot Structures: Show the valence electrons (outermost shell) of an atom, representing its bonding capacity
- Both models are simplified representations of atomic structure, but helpful for understanding chemical behavior
Chart of Atomic Properties
- The chart contains information about neutral atoms, isotopes, and ions
- It is important to note that the number of protons defines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary for isotopes
- The number of electrons can change to form ions, resulting in a positive or negative charge
