    Study Notes

    Matter and Elements

    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space
    • Elements are substances that consist of only one type of atom
    • The first 20 elements on the periodic table, along with their symbols, are:
      • Hydrogen (H), Helium (He), Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), Neon (Ne), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Phosphorus (P), Sulfur (S), Chlorine (Cl), Argon (Ar), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca)
    • Transitional metals, along with their atomic numbers and symbols, include:
      • Iron (Fe, 26), Copper (Cu, 29), Zinc (Zn, 30), Silver (Ag, 47), Gold (Au, 79), Mercury (Hg, 80)

    Atoms

    • Atoms are the building blocks of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons
    • Subatomic particles and their characteristics:
      • Electrons: located outside the nucleus, negative charge, almost no mass
      • Protons: located in the nucleus, positive charge, relative mass of 1
      • Neutrons: located in the nucleus, no charge, relative mass of 1

    Compounds and Mixtures

    • Compounds are substances formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements
    • Examples of compounds: water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen gas (H2)
    • Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more substances
    • Examples of mixtures: air, soil, blood
    • Pure substances are either elements or compounds

    Periodic Table

    • Metals are found on the left side and center of the periodic table
    • Non-metals are found on the right side of the periodic table
    • Metalloids are found on the border between metals and non-metals
    • Elements in each row of the periodic table have the same period number, which increases from top to bottom
    • Elements in each column of the periodic table have the same group number, which increases from left to right

    Properties of Metals and Non-metals

    • Common properties of metals:
      • Good conductors of electricity
      • Good conductors of heat
      • Malleable and ductile
      • High density
      • Typically solid at room temperature
    • Common properties of non-metals:
      • Poor conductors of electricity
      • Poor conductors of heat
      • Brittle and non-ductile
      • Low density
      • Can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature

    Molecules and Bonds

    • Molecules are groups of atoms chemically bonded together
    • Examples of molecules: water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen gas (H2)
    • Valency refers to the number of electrons an atom gains, loses, or shares to form bonds
    • Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons
    • Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons
    • Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in a charge

    Chemical Reactions

    • Physical change: a change in state or phase of a substance, without a change in composition
    • Chemical change: a change in the composition of a substance, resulting in a new substance
    • Signs of chemical change: color change, temperature change, gas production, precipitate formation
    • Chemical equation: a representation of a chemical reaction, using formulas of reactants and products
    • Balanced chemical equation: a chemical equation where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides
