Study Notes
Matter
- Matter is a general term for all substances.
- Matter occupies space and has mass.
- The volume of a substance is the amount of space it occupies.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solids have a definite shape and volume.
- Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
- Gases have no definite shape or volume, taking the shape and volume of their container.
- Changes of state can occur by altering molecular activity.
Atomic Structure
- Almost all of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus (protons and neutrons).
- The nucleus is very small compared to the atom.
- Protons have a positive electric charge.
- Electrons have a negative electric charge.
- Neutrons have no electric charge.
- The number of protons is unique to an element.
Elements
- An element is matter in which all the atoms or molecules are identical.
- Elements are detailed in the Periodic Table.
- For example, pure Copper is an element because it is comprised of Copper atoms.
- Elements retain their properties as atoms.
- The periodic table displays all known elements in order of their atomic number.
- Atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the atom.
- Atomic Mass is the average mass of the element expressed in atomic mass units (amu). Atomic Mass is the mass of the protons and neutrons only.
- Electrons are in shells around the nucleus. The number of electrons in the outermost shell determines some of the elements' electrical properties
- Atomic number = number of protons
- Number of protons = number of electrons
Molecules and Compounds
- Atoms combine to form molecules.
- Matter made of different elements is called a compound. Elements combined in specific ratios.
- Molecules are the smallest particle of an element or compound that can still retain the element's properties.
- Molecules of atoms of the same element can exist or atoms of different elements. Molecules can have just one or more than one atom.
- Molecules have forces of attraction that affect their state (e.g., solid, liquid, gas). These forces affect how molecules move.
Density
- Density is the mass per unit volume (m/V).
- Solids are usually more dense than liquids (but not always).
- Gases are less dense.
Mixtures
- A mixture is composed of two or more substances that retain their individual characteristics.
- Mixtures can be separated into the original substances.
- Mixtures can have various ratios of elements.
- Examples of mixtures include salty water, air, and metal alloys.
Temperature and State Changes
- Temperature is a measure of molecular activity.
- Temperature increase causes the molecules to gain energy leading to changes of state such as melting. Increase in temperature leads to more molecules moving freely.
- When molecules gain sufficient energy due to heat they can break free of an existing state, resulting in a change of state. (e.g., liquid to gas, or solid to liquid)
Volume (Solids, Liquids, Gases)
- Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance.
- Solids are the least likely to change volume compared to liquids or gases.
- Liquids change volume more easily than solids when temperature is altered.
- Gases change volume most easily compared to solids or liquids when experiencing temperature or pressure changes.
Ions
- An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons leading to a postive or negative charge.
- The charge is determined by the atoms difference in the number of electrons compared to protons.
Isotopes
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element, but with different numbers of neutrons.
- The atomic number (number of protons) is the same but atomic mass differs.
- Not all isotopes are radioactive.
