Study Notes
States of Matter
- A pure substance consists of only one type of particle.
- A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements.
- Condensation is the process where a gas transforms into a liquid.
- Ductility refers to the ability of a material to be stretched into wires without breaking.
- Sublimation describes the transition of a solid directly to a gas without becoming a liquid.
- Lustre indicates the shininess or reflective quality of a material, often referred to as 光泽 in Chinese.
- Deposition is the process through which a gas changes directly into a solid.
- Mechanical mixtures contain different materials that remain physically distinct, allowing for visible separation (e.g., pizza, cereal).
- The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
- John Dalton's theory proposes that all matter is composed of atoms.
- J.J. Thomson discovered the presence of electrons, contributing to atomic theory.
- Ernest Rutherford elucidated the structure of the atom, identifying the nucleus.
- Niels Bohr proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in defined paths.
- Lewis Dot Diagrams illustrate the valence electrons of an atom depicted as dots surrounding the element's symbol.

Atomic Structure and Discoveries
- The atomic number signifies the number of protons present in an atom's nucleus.
- John Dalton proposed that all matter is composed of atoms, introducing the idea of indivisible particles.
- J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, which is a negatively charged particle within the atom.
- Ernest Rutherford established the concept of atomic structure, identifying the nucleus as the atom's focal point.
- Niels Bohr developed the model describing electrons as orbiting in specific paths or orbitals around the nucleus.
Lewis Dot Diagram
- A Lewis dot diagram represents the valence electrons of an atom by placing dots around its chemical symbol, aiding in visualizing electron arrangements and bonding.
