Study Notes
- Properties describe an object or substance's appearance, texture, and interactions.
- Physical and chemical properties are the two types of properties.
Physical Properties
- There are two types: intensive and extensive.
- Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter in a sample, examples are the senses.
- Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter in a sample, examples of this are measurement.
Intensive Properties
- Include color, odor, luster, malleability, ductility, conductivity, hardness, brittleness, durability, texture, boiling point, melting point, and density.
- Color refers to the pigment of a substance.
- Odor is detected by the sense of smell.
- Luster is the ability to reflect light.
- Malleability is the ability to be hammered into sheets.
- Ductility is the ability to be stretched into thin wires.
- Conductivity describes conducting electricity or heat.
- Hardness is the resistance to scratching.
- Brittleness is the ability to break or shatter easily.
- Durability is the ability to resist corrosion.
- Texture describes how a substance feels when touched.
- Density refers to mass per unit of volume.
Chemical Properties
- Include flammability, combustibility, and light sensitivity.
- Flammable liquids burn at normal working temperatures.
- Combustible liquids need heat to ignite.
- Light sensitivity is the ability of a substance to change in the presence of visible light.
Extensive Properties
- Include mass, weight, and length.
- Mass measures the amount of matter in an object.
- Weight measures the force of gravity on an object.
- Length measures the extent of something along its greater dimension.
Phases of Matter
- Matter has volume and mass.
- Volume is the space taken up by an object.
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- Matter is made up of atoms.
- Kinetic energy pertains to the energy of motion.
- Temperature relates to kinetic energy, resulting in movement.
Solid Phase
- Solids have a definite volume and shape at a given temperature.
- Molecules are closely packed.
- Solids have high density.
- Arrangement is compact and well-organized.
- Molecular force is strong.
- Solids exhibit vibrational motion.
Liquid Phase
- Liquids have a definite volume, but their shape depends on the container.
- Arrangement is disorganized.
- There are few gaps/spaces between molecules.
- Molecular force is weak.
- Movement is loose.
Gas Phase
- Gases have no definite volume.
- Shape conforms to the container.
- Molecular force is weak.
- Molecules are spread apart.
- Movement is free.
Plasma Phase
- Plasma is an electrically charged gas.
Change in Matter
- Physical change alters the form of matter but not its chemical identity.
- Phase describes the existing physical state of matter.
- Temperature increase excites particles, increasing their movement.
- Changes occur when a substance contains sufficient energy due to temperature or pressure.
Phase Changes
- Solid to liquid is melting.
- Liquid to gas is evaporation.
- Gas to liquid is condensation.
- Liquid to solid is freezing.
- Gas to solid is deposition.
- Solid to gas is sublimation.
Chemical Change
- A substance changes into a new one with different composition, altering the chemical properties.
- Submicroscopic models help visualize properties.
- Monatomic molecules have one atom and lack covalent bonds.
- Diatomic molecules consist of two atoms of the same or different elements.
Types of Matter
- Matter is categorized into pure substances and mixtures.
Pure substances
- Have a definite and constant composition, such as salt or sugar.
- A compound is composed of two or more elements in a specific ratio.
Mixtures
- Mixtures are physical combinations of pure substances with no definite composition.
- Homogeneous mixtures (solutions) are uniform, like water.
- Heterogeneous mixtures are non-uniform with visually distinguishable components.
Atoms
- Atoms are the building blocks of matter.
- Consist of a nucleus, neutrons, protons, and electrons.
Subatomic Particles
- Neutrons have no charge and were discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
- Protons have a positive charge and were discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1911.
- Electrons have a negative charge and were discovered by J.J. Thompson in 1897.
- Positive and negative charges attract, while like charges repel.
Atomic Models
- Democritus (15th century B.C.) proposed indivisible particles called "atomos".
- John Dalton (1808) proposed the solid sphere model for the atom.
- Thomson (1903) proposed the plum pudding model.
- Rutherford (1911) proposed the nuclear model.
- Bohr (1913) proposed the planetary model.
- Schrödinger (1926) proposed the quantum model.
Periodic Table History
- Johann Dobereiner (1829) created "The Law of Triads".
- John Newlands (1866) created "The Law of Octaves".
- Dmitri Mendeleev (1869) is known as the father of the periodic table and arranged elements by increasing atomic mass.
- Henry Moseley (1913) discovered that atoms have a unique number of protons, arranging the table by increasing atomic number.
- Glenn Seaborg (1940) discovered plutonium and other transuranic elements.
Modern Periodic Table
- Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number.
- Each element has a unique symbol.
- Horizontal rows are called periods.
- Vertical columns are called groups/families.
Categories of Elements
- Metals
- Nonmetals
- Metalloids
Properties of Metals
- Good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Shiny.
- Ductile.
- Malleable.
- Metals chemically react with water, resulting in corrosion.
Properties of Non-metals
- Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
- Not ductile or malleable.
- Solid nonmetals are brittle and break easily.
- Dull.
- Many are gases.
Periodic Table Blocks
- S and P blocks are representative elements.
- D and F blocks are transition elements.
Families of Elements
- Hydrogen (all alone).
- Alkali Metals (Group 1): Industrial chemicals.
- Alkaline Earth Metals (Group 2): High melting point.
- Transition Metals (Groups 3-12): Good conductors.
- Boron Family (Group 13): Metalloids and metals.
- Carbon Group (Group 14): Basis of life.
- Nitrogen Group (Group 15): Fertilizer.
- Oxygen Group (Group 16): Photosynthesis.
- Halogens (Group 17): Varying appearance.
