    Study Notes

    Properties of Matter

    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
    • Matter is classified as elements or compounds.
    • Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom.
    • Compounds are pure substances made of two or more elements chemically combined.
    • Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded.

    Classifications of Matter

    • Pure substances have a fixed composition and consistent properties.
    • Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom.
    • Compounds are pure substances made of two or more elements chemically bonded.
    • Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded.
    • Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition).

    Properties of Matter

    • Properties are observable characteristics of a substance.
    • Extensive properties depend on the amount of the substance (e.g., mass, volume, length, size).
    • Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of the substance (e.g., color, odor, density).
    • Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition (e.g., texture, durability, melting/boiling point, temperature).
    • Chemical properties describe how a substance reacts with other substances (e.g., flammability, oxidation).

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Physical changes involve a change in the physical properties of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
    • Chemical changes involve a change in the chemical composition of a substance, resulting in a new substance.

    Atoms and Molecules

    • Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter.
    • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Molecules are formed when two or more atoms chemically bond together.

    Atomic Theory

    • Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element.
    • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Different elements have atoms with different numbers of protons.

    Subatomic Particles

    • Protons are positively charged particles located in the atom's nucleus.
    • Neutrons are neutral particles located in the atom's nucleus.
    • Electrons are negatively charged particles found outside the atom's nucleus.

    Elements and Compounds

    • Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
    • Compounds are formed when two or more different elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms have a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons.
    • Electrons orbit the nucleus in different energy levels.
    • The arrangement of electrons in energy levels determines the chemical properties of an atom.

    Atomic Number and Mass Number

    • The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.
    • The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of its atoms.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, and thus different mass numbers.

    lons

    • lons are atoms or molecules with a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.
    • Cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons.
    • Anions are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons.

    Isotopes

    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
    • Isotopes have the same number of protons but different mass numbers.

    Quantum Theory

    • Quantum numbers describe the properties of electrons in an atom.
    • Principle quantum number (n): Describes the energy level of the electron.
    • Angular momentum quantum number (l): Describes the shape of the electron's orbital.
    • Magnetic quantum number (ml): Describes the orientation of the electron's orbital in space.
    • Spin quantum number (ms): Describes the spin of the electron.
