INORGANIC CHEMISTRY Chemical Change of Matter - occurs when a substance undergoes a chemical reaction and forms Matter - anything that takes up space and can be one or more new substances with different chemical weighed. In other words, matter has volume and properties. mass. THE ATOMIC THEORY States of Matter A scientific theory that explains the nature of matter by stating that all matter is composed of discrete Solid - particles are tightly packed with minimal units called atoms. movement, resulting in low kinetic energy. Solids have a definite shape, mass, and volume, and do not The development of atomic theory has evolved over conform to the shape of their container. time as scientific understanding has progressed. Liquid - particles are more loosely packed than in solids, allowing them to flow around each other. This Atomic Models gives liquids an indefinite shape, enabling them to conform to the shape of their container. Solid Sphere (John Dalton, 1803) Atoms are invisible and atoms of Gasses - particles have a lot of space between them elements are identical. Compounds and high kinetic energy. Gasses have no definite are combinations of atoms. shape or volume and will spread out indefinitely if unconfined. Plum Pudding / Thomson Model (J.J. Thomson, Plasma - is likely the most common state of matter 1904) in the universe, as seen in stars like the sun. Plasma consists of highly charged particles with extremely Electrons are scattered throughout a high kinetic energy. spherical cloud of positively charged particles. Bose-Einstein Condensate - occurs at extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero. In this state, a group of atoms is cooled to such low temperatures Nuclear / Rutherford Model (Ernest Rutherford, that they occupy the same quantum state, behaving 1911) as a single quantum entity with unique properties. Atom is mainly empty space with a positively charged center. Electrons Classifications of Matter revolve a predictable path. Planetary / Bohr’s Model (Niels Bohr, 1913) Negatively charged electrons revolve around the positively charged nucleus at a fixed orbit. Properties of Matter Quantum (Erwin Schrodinger, 1926) Electrons are found in clouds of probability called orbitals. Exact location is impossible to determine. Still widely accepted as the most accurate model of the atom. Atomic Structure Physical Change of Matter - is a change in the form or physical properties of a substance, without a change in its chemical composition.
