    Study Notes

    Matter Hierarchy and Types of Particles

    • Hierarchy: a structured ranking system used to categorize groups based on levels.
    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, categorized into pure substances and mixtures.

    Pure Substances

    • Pure substances consist entirely of one type of particle.
    • Elements cannot be broken down and are listed on the periodic table (e.g., Fe, Mg, Cl2).
    • Compounds are formed from two or more different elements chemically bonded in fixed proportions (e.g., H2O, CO2).

    Types of Particles

    • Atoms are the basic units of elements; unique to each element.
    • Molecules are particles formed from chemically bonded atoms; they are key building blocks for compounds.

    Mixtures

    • Mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances, maintaining their individual properties.
    • Heterogeneous mixtures have visible distinct components (e.g., salad dressing).
    • Homogeneous mixtures or solutions appear uniform throughout (e.g., apple juice).

    Particle Theory

    • All matter is composed of tiny particles with space between them.
      • Gas particles have large spacing and high movement; no definite shape or volume.
      • Liquid particles are closer, move slower, and have a definite volume but not shape.
      • Solid particles are tightly packed with strong attractions, maintaining a definite shape and volume.

    Motion of Particles

    • Particles in pure substances exhibit uniformity in size and shape.
    • Heating increases particle movement and spacing, while cooling decreases movement and condenses particles.

    Chemical Bonding

    • Valence electrons are involved in forming bonds; they have more energy being further from the nucleus.
    • Core electrons are inner electrons that do not participate in bonding.

    Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams

    • Electrons are arranged in shells or energy levels around the nucleus.
    • Each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can hold:
      • First shell: 2 electrons
      • Second shell: 8 electrons
      • Third shell: 8 electrons
    • Atomic structures can be determined using atomic numbers and atomic mass to find protons, neutrons, and electrons.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
    • Neutrons can be calculated as atomic mass minus atomic number.
    • In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

    Practice and Application

    • Bohr-Rutherford diagrams help visualize atomic structures, including protons, neutrons, and the distribution of electrons.
    • Understanding atomic structure is crucial in chemistry for predicting properties and behaviors of elements in reactions.
