    Study Notes

    Molecular Structure

    • MS-PS1-1. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
    • Essential Question: How do atomic structures determine the properties of a substance?

    Classifying Elements and Compounds

    • Elements: Pure substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means.
    • Compounds: Substances containing two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
    • Molecule: Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds and acting as a unit.
    • Atom: Pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means.

    The Periodic Table of Elements

    • Understanding the organization of the Periodic Table helps gather information about the 118 known elements.

    Metals

    • Characteristics: Appear to the left of the dark zig-zag line on the periodic table. Most metals are solid at room temperature.
    • Properties:
      • Luster: Shiny appearance.
      • Malleable: Can be hammered into sheets.
      • Ductile: Can be drawn into wires.
      • Conductors: Good conductors of electricity and heat.
      • High Melting Point:
      • Very Dense:
      • Reactivity: React with water and oxygen, resulting in corrosion and rust.
      • Valence: Most metals have 3 or less valence electrons.

    Non-Metals

    • Characteristics: Occur to the right of the dark zig-zag line on the periodic table. Hydrogen is a nonmetal even though it is in family 1. Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
    • Properties:
      • Dull: Lack luster.
      • Brittle: Break easily.
      • Insulators: Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
      • Valence: 5 or more valence electrons, usually gain electrons in chemical bonds.
