    Study Notes

    Classification of Matter

    • Matter can be classified into three categories: elements, compounds, and mixtures
    • Elements are substances that consist of only one type of atom, e.g. hydrogen, oxygen, carbon
    • Compounds are substances that consist of two or more different elements, e.g. water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Mixtures are substances that consist of two or more different elements or compounds, but are not chemically combined, e.g. air, soil

    Atomic Structure

    • Dalton model: atoms are indivisible and cannot be broken down into smaller particles
    • Thomson model: atoms consist of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons
    • Rutherford model: atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons, with most of the atom's mass concentrated in the nucleus
    • Bohr-Rutherford model: atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons in specific energy levels or shells

    Experiments

    • Thomson's cathode ray tube experiment: demonstrated the existence of electrons and their negative charge
    • Rutherford's gold foil experiment: demonstrated the existence of a small, dense nucleus in an atom and the concept of atomic structure

    Periodic Table

    • Elements in the same group/family have similar characteristics because they have the same number of valence electrons
    • Elements in the same period have different characteristics because they have different numbers of valence electrons
    • The periodic table is organized into groups (1-8) and periods (1-7)
    • The table can be divided into different sections, including:
      • Metals (left side and center of the table)
      • Non-metals (right side of the table)
      • Halogens (Group 7)
      • Noble gases (Group 8)
      • Alkaline metals (Group 1)
      • Alkaline earth metals (Group 2)
      • Lanthanides (below the main table)
      • Actinides (below the main table)
