Study Notes
Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
- Objects are made of materials (types of matter).
- Material properties affect object properties.
Classification of Matter
- A mixture is a combination of substances without bonding or chemical reactions.
- In a mixture, substances are not in a fixed ratio, keep their physical properties, and can be separated mechanically.
Homogeneous Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures are uniform, and components are not visible.
- Examples: salt and water, air, steel.
Heterogeneous Mixtures
- Heterogeneous mixtures are non-uniform, and components are visible.
- Examples: soil, oil in water, ice cubes in a drink).
Pure Substances
- Pure substances are not mixtures, they are elements or compounds.
- Pure substances have a sharply defined melting or boiling point.
- Chromatography separates substances into components.
Elements
- Elements are pure substances made of one atom type.
- The smallest unit of an element is the atom.
Compounds
- Compounds are pure substances formed by a chemical reaction between two or more elements joined in a fixed ratio.
- Compounds have a chemical formula describing the ratio of elements.
Naming and Formulae of Substances
- Compound names include the names of the elements.
- Elements are listed in the same order as in the Periodic Table.
- Chemical formulae represent compounds using element symbols.
- Compounds can contain simple or compound ions (atoms that gained or lost electrons).
Prefixes for Compound Names
-
mono(one),di(two),tri(three). - Example:
CO(carbon monoxide) has one oxygen atom per carbon atom
Metals, Metalloids, and Non-metals
- The periodic table divides elements into metals, metalloids, and non-metals.
- A zigzag line separates metals (left) from non-metals (right).
- Metalloids are along the line.
Metals
- Metals are good electrical and thermal conductors, are malleable and ductile, and have a shiny appearance.
Non-metals
- Non-metals are poor thermal conductors, good electrical insulators, are not malleable or ductile, and can exist in various states (solid, liquid, gas).
Metalloids
- Metalloids have mostly non-metallic properties.
- Their conductivity increases with temperature, unlike metals.
- They are semiconductors used in electronics.
Electrical Conductors, Semi-conductors, and Insulators
- Conductors allow electrical currents to pass through them.
- Insulators do not carry charge.
- Semiconductors behave like insulators when cold and conductors when hot.
Thermal Conductors and Insulators
- Thermal conductors allow heat transfer without material movement.
- Insulators do not allow heat transfer.
Magnetic and Non-magnetic Materials
- Magnetism is a force between magnetic objects.
- Magnetic objects have a magnetic field that weakens with distance.
- Ferromagnetic metals can be magnetized.
