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.
